英译汉-翻译参考译文

英译汉-翻译参考译文

练习1 美国印象☐我恐怕不能把美国描绘成十足的天堂——从一般角度来说,也许我对这个国家所知甚少。

我说不出它的经度或纬度;我算不出它出产谷物的价值;我对它的政治也不十分熟悉。

这些东西可能不会使你感兴趣,它们当然也不会让我感兴趣。

☐在美国上岸后得到的第一个深刻印象,就是美国人可能算不上世界上穿得最漂亮的,但却是穿得最舒服的。

那里看得到男人头戴着不堪入目的烟囱式高顶礼帽,但很少有不戴帽子的男人;还看到穿着难看至极的燕尾服的男人,但很少有不穿外套的男人。

美国人的穿戴显得舒适,这和在我国常可以看到的人们衣衫褴褛的情形形成了鲜明的对比。

☐我特别注意到的第二个特点是,似乎每个人都在急着赶火车。

这种情形对诗歌和浪漫爱情是不利的。

要是罗密欧和朱丽叶老是为乘火车而担心,或是在为返城车票而烦恼,莎士比亚就不可能写出那几幕如此富有诗意与伤感情调的阳台戏了。

☐美国是世界上最嘈杂的国家。

在早晨,不是夜莺的歌声,而是汽笛的呜叫把人们唤醒。

美国人讲求实际的头脑这么健全,却没有想到要降低这种令人难以忍受的噪音,真叫人吃惊。

所有艺术都依赖于精细微妙的敏锐感觉,这样持续不断的喧嚣,最终一定会损害人的音乐天赋。

☐美国城市没有牛津、剑桥、索尔兹伯里和温彻斯特那么美丽,那些地方有优雅时代的美好遗迹;虽然不时还是可以看到许多美的东西,但只能在美国人没有存心创造美的地方。

在美国人有意创造美的地方,他们显然没有成功。

美国人的突出特点,便是他们把科学应用于现代生活的那种态度。

☐在纽约走马观花地一走,这一点就一目了然了。

在英国人们常把发明家视作狂人,发明带来的是失望与穷困的例子简直不胜枚举。

在美国发明家受到尊重,他随时可以得到人们的帮助。

在那里心灵手巧、把科技应用于人类的劳动,是致富的捷径。

没有一个国家比美国更爱机器的了。

☐或许,值得指出的是,被许多人指为美国式英语的其实是老的英国式表达,它们在我国已经消失,却在我们的殖民地里留存下来。

许多人以为美国人常说的“I guess”(“我猜”)纯粹是一种美国式表达,但约翰∙洛克在他的The understanding (《理解论》)中就用过这种说法,就像我们现在使用“I think”(“我想”)一样。

二十岁的时候,挤在人头攒动的公共大巴上,吃着甜筒,挺开心。三 十岁之后,看见破旧肮脏的的士都心烦,拜托!油价一跌,就去买车 吧,一路开往小康。 At the age of twenty, I felt happy squeezed in a crammed bus eating an ice-cream. After I have turned thirty, I hate to look at the dirty, worn-out taxis. Thank goddess! Once the oil price declines, I’ll buy a car to myself and drive all the way to a comfortable life. At the age of twenty, I felt so contented sandwiched in a jammed bus, eating ice cream. After thirty,even the sight of a shabby and sordid taxi may sicken me.OK!

The country had grown rich, its commerce was large, and wealth did its natural work in making life softer and more worldly, commerce in deprovincializing the minds of those engaged in it. 那时候国家富足,商业发达;财富充盈的结果,是生活日趋柔糜,思 想日趋世俗,而商业发达之后,经商的人眼界日益开展,不再像当年 那样的固步自封。(夏济安译)

英语翻译评析袁兆帆自动化1006班U2010137571.翻译原文Stopped at last! A clever blow. He is down upon the pavement;and the crowd eagerly gather round him, each new- comer jostling and struggling with the othersto catch a glimpse. 'Stand aside!' 'Give him a little air!' 'Nonsense!he don't deserve it.' 'Where's the gentleman?' 'Here he is,coming down the street.' 'Make room there for the gentleman!' 'Is this the boy,sir!' 'Yes.'Oliver lay,covered with mud and dust,and bleeding from the mouth,looking wildly round upon the heap of faces that surrounded him,when the old gentleman was officiously dragged and pushed into the circle by the foremost of the pursuers.'Yes,' said the gentleman,'I am afraid it is the boy.''Afraid!' murmured the crowd. 'That's a good 'un!''Poor fellow!' said the gentleman,'He has hurt himself.''I did that,sir,' said a great lubberly fellow,stepping forward;'and preciously I cut my knuckle agin' his mouth. I stopped him,sir.'The fellow touched his hat with a grin,expecting something for his pains;but,the old gentleman,eyeing him with an expression of dislike,look anxiously round,as if he contemplated running away himself,which it is very possible he might have attempted to do,and thus have afforded another chase,had not a police officer (who is generally the last person to arrive in such cases)at that moment made his way through the crowd,and seized Oliver by the collar.2.我的翻译总算是让他停下了,漂亮的一拳!他倒在了路上,周围的人们一拥而上把他围住了,每一个刚到的人都要挤进人群中瞧一眼,”给我让开!””让他好好踹口气””胡扯,他不值得去踹那口气””那位绅士在哪呢?””在那儿呢,正沿街走来呢””给他让条路!””是这个男孩吗?先生””没错”欧利佛躺在地上,身上全是泥和灰尘,嘴角还流着血,惊恐的向上望着围住他的无数面孔,这时,那位绅士被在最前头的追捕者推挤着进入了人圈之中.“没错”绅士说道”恐怕就是这孩子”“恐怕!?”人群之中开始议论了”真是好样的”“可怜的孩子!”绅士说道”他受伤了”“是我做的,先生”一个粗手大脚的男人走进了说,”我一拳打到他的脸上,我的手也破了,是我抓住了他,先生”那个男人露出了尴尬的微笑行了个礼,指望得到一点酬劳,但是绅士却摆着一张讨厌他的脸,他不安的四处张望,就仿佛他自己打算逃跑.他很有可能这么做,从而再次引起一场追捕,不过幸运的是一位警察在这个时候从人群中挤了进来(每到这种情况他通常都是最后一个到场的),把欧利佛的衣领一把抓住.3.翻译评析此段文章描述的是[雾都孤儿]中的一个场景,其中主要描述的有3个形象,一个是绅士,一个是欧利佛,还有那个将欧利佛一拳打倒的男人,此段虽然短,可是对语言有很多直接引用,例如”Give him a little air”,”poor fellow”等,像此处,如果不结合上下文,光看这两句话的话,我们肯定只会翻译成”给他一点空气”,”可怜的同事”,所以我们翻译的时候必须要联系上下文,不然文章的每句话单独拿出来可能都是没有问题的,可是合到一起去的时候,也许就完全不能理解到底是什么意思了.对这三个人的描写也各有不同,对绅士而言,更多的则是利用了语言描写,绅士说的话”yes”,”I am afraid it is the boy”,”poor fellow”都是仅有几个词,感觉这样用语言描写,能够刻画出这位绅士不愿意和追逐者还有献殷勤者多说一句话,体现了绅士对他们的厌恶,虽然通过绅士的表情或者心理描写当然也能把厌恶表现出来,可是还是语言描写最能使读者更强烈的感受到这种感觉.因此,当我们翻译的时候,需要把这几个句子翻译的冷一点.将绅士的那种情感从文字之中表达出来.然而对于欧利佛则不一样了,此间欧利佛是一直没有说话的,可是需要将欧利佛内心的恐惧,和他被打倒的惨状表达出来,便只能对他的状态,外观进行描写,例如” Oliver lay,covered with mud and dust,and bleeding from the mouth,looking wildly round upon the heap of faces that surrounded him”这均是对欧利佛的状态的描写,由他的惨状和恐惧让读者产生对他的可怜感.而对那个一拳将欧利佛打倒的男人来说,作者很明显的把那对绅士献殷勤求酬劳的嘴脸描述了出来, and preciously I cut my knuckle agin' his mouth. I stopped him,sir,这句话的中的I stopped him,如果我们自己看,确实很容易理解是这个男人停下了逃跑的男孩,可是如果我们直接就翻译成我停下了他,这样会感觉非常的突兀,并且中文中也没有这种说法.所以我翻译成了我抓住了他,这个样子更加符合中文的习惯一点,因此,我们翻译不仅仅要遵从原文,也需要符合我们自己的语言习惯才行,其中还有看热闹的人的一句That's a good 'un!,我觉得这句话我可是好好想了一会儿的.因为一眼看过去,我们肯定会觉得这是”那真是个好un啊”的意思.然后就会完全不知所以然了,但是结合上下文来看,绅士这个时候也不确定是不是这个男孩,他说了”恐怕”,围观的群众对此当然是感到惊讶,所以翻译成”真是好样的”就比较合适了,有点调侃的语气了.所以翻译也是要看语境的,即使同样的一句话,不同的语境下,翻译的意思就会大不相同,这文章也一直都是以一个旁观者的视角去写的,所以我们的在翻译的时候也要忠实于这一点,不能翻译的时候改变视角.然而本文的句式也是翻译之中要注意的点之一,例如Oliver lay,covered with mud and dust,and bleeding from the mouth,looking wildly round upon theheap of faces that surrounded him这句话,主句就是Oliver lay,而此外均是此主句的状语,翻译的时候必须注意不能干巴巴的翻译成,欧利佛躺着,被泥和灰包围,嘴里流着血…必须对其中的状语之间的连接,身上全是泥和灰尘,嘴角还流着血,此处的cover我们都知道是身上,所以译为身上都是泥和灰尘更好,否则则会很奇怪.其实,翻译这篇文章的时候,我不仅仅翻译了一遍,第一遍翻译的时候,翻译完了自己读的时候,总感觉句子和句子之间就仿佛我前文中写道的一样,好像都是一个句子一个句子,而并不是一段文章,所以第二遍的时候,对着自己的翻译和原文,将翻译的句子与句子之间加了一些东西,使得句子能够读起来比较流畅,使之成为一个段落.还有的甚至连句子都不是,例如I cut my knuckle agin' his mouth这句话,我第一遍的翻译就是我切了自己的手抵抗着她的嘴巴.一读就觉得完全不是那回事,后来根据理解将之翻译成为了我一拳打到他的脸上,我的手也破了,这样才变得符合了我们的语言习惯.从这次的翻译之中我觉得我的收获颇多,因为很多地方咱们读了原文之后都是能够理解的.可是要是想用自己的话翻译出来,并且翻译成一个句子那还是需要下很多功夫的,像我水平不够,就只有通过多次翻译的方法将自己的翻译完善,同时我觉得翻译是个很有意思的过程,就像用自己的话把读到的故事给讲出来一样,同样是一个故事,我们可以把他讲的非常吸引人,也可以讲的平淡无奇.而这全靠我们讲故事的人的翻译水平了.。

1. 主语与主题
英语的特点是主语突出 subject-prominent
“主语突出”是指在该语言里主语和谓语这两 个语法成分是句子的基本结构,句子中通常都 有“主语—谓语”结构(即SV结构)。
It is the time for class.
句子之间依靠各种关系词(介词、关系代 词、关系副词、连接词)来过渡和连接, 往往形成长句。
例1:
The boy, who was crying as if his heart would break, said, when I spoke to him, that he was very hungry because he had had no food for two days.
英语——形合
重词形与句法,语言中有明显的逻辑 关系,强调形式上紧密结合,结构完 整。主要采用句法手段和词汇手段。 句间常用连接词语。
汉语——意合
重直觉,强调意念流,强调意识上结 合紧密。语法意义和逻辑关系常隐藏 在字里行间。主要使用语义手段,多 依靠语义的贯通,语境的映衬,少用 连接词语。

从汉英两方面赏析英译古诗词

从汉英两方面赏析英译古诗词

英语·“诗者根情、苗言、华声、实意。

”诗有咏景,有抒情,有托物言志,有情景交融,情意一体。

就中国的古诗词而言,其结构严谨,而意群模糊,重在写意。

而英语诗歌在结构上收放自如,在意群上富于层次,重在形体。

要充分理解英译古诗词,就得从汉英两方面着手去把握古诗词朦胧、含蓄、蕴籍的文化内涵。

现以陶渊明的《归去来辞》为例展开赏析,旨在帮助同学们学习英译古诗词,领略语言之美。

归去来辞陶渊明归去来兮!田园将芜胡不归?既自以心为形役,奚惆怅而独悲?悟已往之不谏,知来者之可追,实迷途其未远,觉今是而昨非。

舟遥遥以轻飏,风飘飘而吹衣。

问征夫以前路,恨晨光之熹微。

乃瞻衡宇,载欣载奔。

僮仆欢迎,稚子候门。

三径就荒,松菊犹存。

携幼入室,有酒盈樽。

引壶觞以自酌,眄庭柯以怡颜。

倚南窗以寄傲,审容膝之易安。

园日涉以成趣,门虽设而常关。

策扶老以流憩,时矫首而遐观。

云无心以出岫,鸟倦飞而知还。

景翳翳以将入,抚孤松而盘桓。

归去来兮,请息交以绝游。

世与我而相违,复驾言兮焉求?悦亲戚之情话,乐琴书以消忧。

农人告余以春及,将有事于西畴。

或命巾车,或棹孤舟。

既窈窕以寻壑,亦崎岖而经丘。

木欣欣以向荣,泉涓涓而始流。

善万物之得时,感吾生之行休。

已矣乎!寓形宇内复几时,曷不委心任去留?胡为乎遑遑欲何之?富贵非吾愿,帝乡不可期。

怀良辰以孤往,或植杖而耘籽。

登东皋以舒啸,临清流而赋诗。

韩素音青年翻译奖竞赛 | 译文评析(下) 原创: 中国译协 中国翻译协会 2017-01-10第28届韩素音青年翻译奖竞赛参考译文及评析—(下)汉译英汉译英竞赛原文屠呦呦秉持的,不是好事者争论的随着诺贝尔奖颁奖典礼的临近,持续2个月的“屠呦呦热”正在渐入高潮。

当地时间7日下午,屠呦呦在瑞典卡罗林斯卡学院发表题为“青蒿素——中医药给世界的一份礼物”的演讲,详细回顾了青蒿素的发现过程,并援引毛泽东的话称,中医药学“是一个伟大的宝库”。

对中医药而言,无论是自然科学“圣殿”中的这次演讲,还是即将颁发到屠呦呦手中的诺奖,自然都提供了极好的“正名”。

置于世界科学前沿的平台上,中医药学不仅真正被世界“看见”,更能因这种“看见”获得同世界对话的机会。

拨开层层迷雾之后,对话是促成发展的动力。

将迷雾拨开、使对话变成可能,是屠呦呦及其团队的莫大功劳。

但如果像部分舆论那样,将屠呦呦的告白简单视作其对中医的“背书”,乃至将其成就视作中医向西医下的“战书”,这样的心愿固然可嘉,却可能完全背离科学家的本意。

听过屠呦呦的报告,或是对其研究略作了解就知道,青蒿素的发现既来自于中医药“宝库”提供的积淀和灵感,也来自于西医严格的实验方法。

缺了其中任意一项,历史很可能转向截然不同的方向。

换言之,在“诺奖级”平台上促成中西医对话之前,屠呦呦及其团队的成果,正是长期“对话”的成果。

而此前绵延不绝的“中西医”之争,多多少少都游离了对话的本意,而陷于一种单向化的“争短长”。

持中医论者,不屑于西医的“按部就班”;持西医论者,不屑于中医的“随心所欲”。

双方都没有看到,“按部就班”背后本是实证依据,“随心所欲”背后则有文化内涵,两者完全可以兼容互补,何必非得二元对立?屠呦呦在演讲中坦言,“通过抗疟药青蒿素的研究历程,我深深地感到中西医药各有所长,两者有机结合,优势互补,当具有更大的开发潜力和良好的发展前景”。

这既是站在中医药立场上对西方科学界的一次告白,反过来也可理解为西医立场上对中医拥趸们的提醒。

英汉翻译评析(附参考译文)

英汉翻译评析(附参考译文)

英汉翻译讲解(1)I.英汉之间的差别:“对于中国学生最有用的帮助是让他认识英语和汉语的差别。

”------吕叔湘国内学者的共识是:汉语是综合性的,描写性的,而英语是分析性的,逻辑性的。

在语言学上最重要的区别在于形合和意合的对比(contrast between hypotaxis and parataxis),英语重形合(形式上的融合),汉语重意合(意思或意境的融合)。

在句法方面,有学者形象地把英汉比喻为以下几种:1.雄孔雀/雄狮-----即英语习惯于把最着重的事物放在句首先说出来,开门见山,一语破的,然后再把各种标志一条条补述,一步步交代,慢条斯理,从容不迫,形成一条头短尾长地线性链,象头小尾大地雄孔雀。

而汉语则相反,其线性序列的展开好比画龙点睛,先把外围的环境与衬托一一交代周到,最后点出话语的信息中心,水到渠成,给人以豁然开朗之感,形成雄狮型头大尾小地局式。

例如:I was all the more delighted when, as a result of the initiative of your Government it proved possible to reinstate the visit so quickly.译文:由于贵国政府的提议,才得以这样快地重新实现访问。

这使我感到特别高兴。

又如:The assertion that it was difficult, if not impossible, for a people to enjoy its basic rights unless it was able to determine freely its political status and to ensure freely its economic, social and cultural development was now scarcely (不足地,不充分地;一定不,绝不)contested (斗争;比赛).译文:如果一个民族不能自由地决定其政治地位,不能自由地保证其经济、社会和文化的发展,要享受其基本权利,即使不是不可能,也是不容易的。

外贸英语汉译英赏析(1)我们希望指出,这里市场竞争激烈,要想成功地销售出去,你方报价须具有吸引力,否则将有困难.共有五个分句,各自语法地位大不相同.汉语是一种流水句,分句间可以由逗号相连;但英语讲究形式上的相互照应,不同语法功能的从句必须反映在句型和关联词上.这是汉译英中比较重大的一条.也就是说,汉语可以用四个逗号隔出五个分句,但英语不可以,而是要用关联词,从字面形式上体现出其内在关系.例如, 可以认为, " 指出"的原因在于"竞争",当然也可以表现为"竞争"的逻辑结论是"指出",这样这个句子至少有两种英译形式.1)We would like to point out that because of the harsh / fierce competition inour market your quotation must be attractive to the buyers at our end befor e wecould sell successfully your products here.2) Fierce competition in the local market here means that, it seems obvious to us,it would be difficult for us to promote successfully the sale of your prod uctsif your quotation is not attractive to our end-users here.如果五个句子综合考虑,可以变换角度译为:We would like to point out that your quotation has to be attractive to the buyershere, otherwise it would be difficult for us to sell your products in thiscompetitive market.市场竞争激烈: fierce / harsh / competitive market(2)如果你方的价格做得开的话,我们相信能成大生意.像"价格做得开"和"能成大生意",这类熟语,与别的信函中可能出现的专业性比较强的术语一样,在商务英语中都可以做适当的淡化处理. 也就是说,无论汉语原文是专业色彩较浓的,还是相对口语化的,用于信函往来的译文都可以使用一般化的句型和词汇,只要说清楚事情就行,不必追求风格上的一致.a.If your prices are in line, we trust important business can materialize. b,If your prices are attractive, we believe we can make big business.英文站点:Financing Local Roads Construction:Small Markets Make Big Business./economics_research/reports_studies/finance_local_ roads/financing_road_construction.htmU.S. Firms Make Big Business With Iraq.3)很高兴收到你方8月25日询价,根据你方要求,今寄上有插图的目录和明细价目单.两个逗号,三个分句,两个完整的意思.四种处理译法:a.处理为一大一小两个简单句We were very pleased to receive your inquiry of August 25 and enclose our illustrated catalogue and the detailed price-list as you asked.b,处理为两个句子.第一句告知来信收到表示感谢,We are very pleased to receive your inquiry of August 25.We were very pleased to have received your inquiry of August 25.第二句根据特定要求采取寄上目录和价单的行动.(汉语原文中省略了主语,英译文中必须有主语,译文的主语可以是"我"或"我们"或"我公司",这样译文可以是以下的任何一个或其他变体:I am pleased to enclose our illustrated catalogue and the price-list for your reference.We are pleased to enclose our illustrated catalogue and the price-list for yourreference.For your information we are sending you a copy of our illustrated catalogue andprice-list.We have enclosed our illustrated catalogue and a copy of the detailed price-list foryou.Our illustrated catalogue and price-list are enclosed for your reference.Enclosed for your information are our illustrated catalogue and the detailed price-list as you asked.C,把对方"you"作为译文的主语,这种着眼符合国际信函中比较受重视的you attitude,值得提倡.这样需要改变谓语用语,也就是由"寄"改为"收".Enclosed please find our illustrated catalogue and the detailed price-list as youasked.You will find in the attachment our illustrated catalogue and the detailed price-listyou asked for.Would you please check and find our illustrated catalogue and the detailed price-list enclosed.D,译文主语为"目录".以物为主语在英语中远比汉语中用的多.The illustrated catalogue and the detailed price-list you asked for have been enclosed.Two copies of our illustrated catalogue and price-list , which you asked for, havebeen enclosed for your information.(4)根据你方要求可译为: in accordance with your request 或as per your requirement但不宜译为: according to your demand.前两种译法是对的,但显得有些公事公办容易产生距离感,因此不如译为:as you asked / as required / as requested 达意即可.(5)我方可保证收到订单后两周内交货.解析: 如果"交货"定义很明确,而且与客户的贸易条款已商量妥当,可译为:We guarantee to deliver the goods within fourteen days of receipt of your oder.但如果"交货"定义不明,贸易条款尚未商量妥当时,建议不要落实译为deliver the goods, 可以采用effect shipment 为好, 为了淡化或者中和汉语原文中的"可保证",而不把话说死,以免被动,可译为:We would try to effect shipment in fourteen days of the receipt of your order.因此,在商贸信函中,汉英表达不必要求句法与词上的一一对应,关键是把事情说清楚,更有效地为促成贸易而服务.(6) 寄上 / 邮寄 / 附寄 / 随信附上 / 随函附上一份这些汉语说法,可以译为下列方式之一. 与其他公文套语一样,这里的关键不是"字字对应"的翻译, 而是具体"语境"下的"语义等值"enclose ( v ) Enclosed is a copy of ...We enclose a copy of ... Enclosed please find a copy of...(7) 日期表达汉语,英国英语,美国英语有些区别,各自有相对固定的格式. 下列为国际商务信函中比较通行的正确表达方式.请注意词序,词间空格,基数词和序数词及逗号的应用:18 August, 2004 August 18, 200418th August 2004 Tuesday, August 18, 2004在比较正式的商务信函中,虽然有些外国客户也采用下列其中之一,但以下七种表述都不对,不好,不准确:5/4/05; 3-26/03; 4/7/2005; 11-6-04; 8.8.2004; Sep.14,2003; Dec.12/04因此我们给外国业务伙伴写信时,同一日期中的年月日次序,应当尽量考虑到收信人的背景,如果是英国人或英联邦国家的,可按英国式的"日,月,年"排列,(18 August, 2004 ) ;如果是美国公司或背景不是很清楚的,可按美国式的"月,日,年"词序排列( 如: August 18, 2004)(8) 我方产品质量上乘,价格合理.a. Our products / goods are both excellent in quality and reasonable in price.(原汁原味,活用介词in,非常地道的英文表达)b,质量上乘 high quality, super quality, reliable quality, excellent quality, superior inquality.c, 价格合理 reasonable price; rational price; moderate price; competitive price; street price; right price etc.(9) 询盘:Heavy enquiries witness the quality of our products.大量询盘证明我们产品质量过硬As soon as the price picks up, enquiries will revive.一旦价格回升,询盘将恢复活跃。

原文巷柯灵译者-张培基巷,是城市建筑艺术中一篇飘逸恬静的散文,一幅古雅冲淡的图画①。

这种巷,常在江南的小城市中,有如古代的少女,躲在僻静的深闺,轻易不肯抛头露面②。

你要在这种城市里住久了,和它真正成了莫逆,你才有机会看见她③,接触到她优娴贞静的风度。

人耐心静静走去,要老半天才走完。

它又这么曲折,什么时候,你向巷中踅去,都如宁静的黄昏,可以清晰地听到自己的斑斑驳驳的苔痕,墙上挂着一串串苍翠欲滴小巷的动人处就是它无比的悠闲。

无论是谁,你的心情就会如巷尾不波的古井,那是一种和平的静穆,而不是阴森和肃杀⑩。

它闹中取静,别有天地,仍是人间。

它可能是一条现代的乌衣巷(11),家家有自己的一本哀乐帐,使人忘忧。

汉译英赏析例文1

汉译英赏析例文1

《中国翻译》余光中《尺素寸心》原文结构:第一段:回信的痛苦会减少读信时的快乐。

第二段:回信固然痛苦,不回信也未必就快乐。

写到不回信的心理挣扎。

第三段:真正要回信时面临的一系列麻烦问题。

以及作者对回信和友谊深浅之间的关系的一些思考。

原文印象:这篇《尺素寸心》字里行间流露着作者余光中丰富的情感和敏锐的观察力以及想象力。

读来趣味横生,令人回味无穷。

文风诙谐幽默,通俗易懂。

从文中可以看出,能写出此种文章的大家一定是对生活有着无比的热情,对人生经历有着深入的思考,对人情世故有着透彻的了解甚至是洞察。

佳句佳译赏析:1. 接读朋友的来信,尤其是远自海外犹带着异国风云的航空信,确是人生一大快事,如果无需回信的话。

To get letters from friends, especially airmail letters from overseas that bear the stamp of exotic climes, is unquestionably one of life’s greatest pleasures, provided, that is, that they do not call for a reply.原句就很有意思,前面读来语意流畅完整,直到最后杀出一句“如果无需回信的话”,令读者立刻心生共鸣,感到确实是如此。

笔锋由此一转,便十分明确地点出了本文的中心主题,就是回信的麻烦。

说到用词,就是“犹带着异国风云的航空信”很有意思,不同于普通的表达法,而是将信赋之以动感,让人可以联想到一封信的长途跋涉的旅途过程,颇有趣味,这是作者幽默清新文风的一个体现。

译文翻译得很精彩。

把“犹带着异国风云”译成“bear the stamp of exotic climes”,此处stamp本意为印记,标志,在这里要联系上下文进行适当的增词,虽然原文没有明确说明“印记”一词,但字里行间的意思正式如此,因此这是“stamp”用得好的原因之一。

英汉翻译讲解(1)I.英汉之间的差别:“对于中国学生最有用的帮助是让他认识英语和汉语的差别。

”------吕叔湘国内学者的共识是:汉语是综合性的,描写性的,而英语是分析性的,逻辑性的。

在语言学上最重要的区别在于形合和意合的对比(contrast between hypotaxis and parataxis),英语重形合(形式上的融合),汉语重意合(意思或意境的融合)。

在句法方面,有学者形象地把英汉比喻为以下几种:1.雄孔雀/雄狮-----即英语习惯于把最着重的事物放在句首先说出来,开门见山,一语破的,然后再把各种标志一条条补述,一步步交代,慢条斯理,从容不迫,形成一条头短尾长地线性链,象头小尾大地雄孔雀。

而汉语则相反,其线性序列的展开好比画龙点睛,先把外围的环境与衬托一一交代周到,最后点出话语的信息中心,水到渠成,给人以豁然开朗之感,形成雄狮型头大尾小地局式。

例如:I was all the more delighted when, as a result of the initiative of your Government it proved possible to reinstate the visit so quickly.译文:由于贵国政府的提议,才得以这样快地重新实现访问。

这使我感到特别高兴。

又如:The assertion that it was difficult, if not impossible, for a people to enjoy its basic rights unless it was able to determine freely its political status and to ensure freely its economic, social and cultural development was now scarcely (不足地,不充分地;一定不,绝不)contested (斗争;比赛).译文:如果一个民族不能自由地决定其政治地位,不能自由地保证其经济、社会和文化的发展,要享受其基本权利,即使不是不可能,也是不容易的。

这一论断几乎是无可置辩的了。

2.葡萄/竹竿-----即把英语句子比作“葡萄型”结构,葡萄主干很短,其上附结着丰硕的果实。

而汉语句子则较短,一个短句接一个短句地往下叙述,逐步展开,内容像竹竿一样一节一节展开,常称为“竹竿型”结构。

She was beautiful, with long dark hair and brilliant green eyes.她长得很美,一头乌黑亮丽的长发,一双晶莹明亮的绿色眼睛。

She has smooth akin as pale and iridescent as the moon shining over a snow-covered landscape.她光滑的肌肤白里透红,宛如皎洁的月光洒在茫茫血地上。

3.多枝共干----英语句子中还有两个或几个动词共受一个状语修饰,共有一个主语或宾语,或者两个或几个状语共同修饰一个动词,两个或几个主语或宾语共一个动词,这就好比几根树枝长在同一根树干上,我们称为“多枝共干”式结构。

4.也有学者认为英语是一种弥漫着“男子气”的语言。

逻辑性、组织性和理性是以英语为母语的民族的思维支撑点,从而就形成了英语的“阳刚之美”。

而汉语自有汉语之美。

汉语不注重对客观现实作符合逻辑的形式的描摹,不执着于形式结构的规范,中国人的思维支撑点似乎更具有抽象,深邃和疏放的取向,由此繁衍生出的是显赫的暗示和幽远的意境从而形成汉语的“阴柔之美”。

汉语的魅力在于她的流散和疏放,系于她超凡的暗示力和意境性。

所以汉语的形式机制很弱,主谓宾没有形式标定,主谓间关系松散,宾语无定格,无定位,主语的超句承接功能很强。

如果说汉语是一种“人治”语言,那么,英语则是一种“理性”语言。

汉语能化逻辑为内在,英语则必须将逻辑外化,化作种种行合的标记,化作启转承合的纽带。

英语语法规范森严,理性十足;英语形式逻辑缜密,滴水不漏。

5.汉语是一种意境语言,一种艺术语言。

寥寥数词,就能出意境,出氛围,出画面。

当然,英语表情达意的优势也不能低估。

比如,metaphor比喻就是英语最大的优势。

这个比喻并非狭义上的把A 比作B不使用比喻词如as, like, as if等的隐喻/暗喻,而是广义上英语词汇的比喻义。

换言之,也可以说是英语词汇denotation(本义)之外的connotation(转义)。

试译下面句子,仔细体会汉语在这里给人体现出来的意境的美,英语体现的逻辑很清楚的理性的美。

)1.She was in a flood of tears. 她泪流如注。

(注意flood(本义是水灾)这个词的转义所表现出来的英语的美:)The corridors were flooded with girls.走廊里挤满了女孩子。

Strawberries flooded the market and prices dropped down.草莓充斥市场,价格下跌。

Beer flooded from the glass.啤酒从杯中溢出。

2.她就是这样风里来,雨里去,成年累月地工作着。

This is how she carries on her work, rain or shine, all the year round.3. 人言鼎沸:Many people talk together and the noise they make is like the bubbling of water boiling in a cauldron.4. 面如菜色:hungry looking; look famished5.西湖如明镜,千峰凝翠,洞壑幽深,风光奇丽。

(这里的汉语只有17个字,却勾勒出西湖的意境的美,而英语则要把这里的逻辑弄清楚,再把汉语内在的逻辑完全外化出来)The West Lake is like a mirror, embellished all around with green hills and deep caves of enchanting beauty.6.The stage of mental comfort to which they had arrived at this hour was one wherein their souls expanded beyond their skins, and spread their personalities warmly through the room.他们那时所达到的欢畅阶段是:神游身外,脱却形骸,满眼生花,满室生春。

7.《红楼梦》袭人说:一百年还记得呢?比不得你,拿着我的话当耳边风,夜里说了,早起就忘了。

(汉语具有的超凡的暗示力,英语则要把暗示的逻辑外化出来。

)“I will remember if I live to be a hundred” said Aroma. “I am not like you, letting what I say go in at one ear and out at the other forgetting what’s said at night by the next morning.”8. We had plenty of company in the way of wagon-loads and mule-loads of tourists---and dust. 同路的有许多旅客,有乘旅游马车的,也有骑骡子的---一路尘土飞扬。

9. Clearly, when it comes to marriage, practicing beforehand doesn’t make perfect.显然,在婚姻问题上,婚前同居并不能令婚姻生活趋于完美。
