翻译的形式和类型
翻译的形式和类型（同声传译篇）翻译包括口译(interpretation) 和笔译(translation) ，是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思维内容准确而完整地重新表达出来的语言活动，并且决不能脱离原文内涵而进行硬译、死译，必须要做到译文的忠实、通顺。
翻译要做到“ 译成之文，适如其所译” ，并要尽可能地达到“ 信、达、雅” 的境界。
除了人可以从事翻译活动外，人还可操纵机器从事翻译活动。
不过目前看来，机器翻译还不尽人意。
口译的形式和类型：交替传译(consecutive interpreting) 、咬耳朵(whispering) 和同声传译(simultaneous interpreting) 。
同声传译（simultaneous interpreting ），又称同步翻译、同声翻译、会议翻译，简称同传；交替传译（consecutive interpreting ），又称连续翻译，简称交传。
同声传译同传，顾名思义，即基本同步地实现对讲话者发言的口译，多用于国际会议、专业研讨会等场合。
同传的形式：译员通过专用的传译设备提供即时口头翻译，即译员通过话筒讲话，听众通过耳机接收，这种翻译形式可同时有几种语言，如联合国大会就有六种语言的同声传译。
鉴于同传有一定的技巧性要求，专门的培训和大量的练习都不可或缺。
同声传译最早始于1919 年的巴黎和会。
在巴黎和会上开始借助英、法两种语言的翻译进行谈判，其中一部分谈判采用了同声传译，这也意味着同声传译作为一种专业开始形成。
后来，二战后的纽伦堡军事审判法庭（1945-1946 ），同声传译第一次得到相当大规模的采用来审判纳粹战犯，效果不错。
于是在1946 年的联合国会议上开始正式采用同传，结果使会议的时间缩短了一大半，经费也相应的减少了许多。
中国是在1952 年在北京召开的亚洲地区和平会议上首次使用，时至今日也不过是40 年的发展历程。
同声传译时间效率高，有利于听众对发言全文的理解。

词类转换
动词---名词 例1： 原文： 他得出这一结论是深思熟虑的结果。
译文： His arrival at this conclusion was
the result of much deliberate thought. 动词---介词 例1 ： 原文： 他支持这个建议，但我反对。
译文： He is for the suggestion, but I am against it.
2 It may be advisable to wait till they come back.
3 It is diligence that makes for deficiency.
确立谓语：
汉语的谓语具有开放性，除了动词之外，名 词、形容词等词类都可以直接充当谓语， 而且可以横排式连用多个动词，而英语的 谓语通常只能由某个动词或系表结构担任， 其他动词往往以非谓语动词的形式出现。
例2： 原文：同学们的精彩表演给校领导留下良好的印象。
译文： The school leaders were __favorably impressed_by the excellent performance of the
students.
词的增补：
1 语法需要：由于汉英两种语言的差异，汉译英时往往需要 补充汉语里省去的词语或没有的词类，以使译文符合英语 语法的要求。增词译法在汉译英中实际上是添加原文为了 语言简洁省去的成分，增补的词多为冠词、代词或名词、 连词和介词等。
译文： A place with water and fish is necessarily blessed with a nice setting, which in return keeps people _in__ good mood.
第2课 翻译的基本概念
1. definition of translation
1. The Oxford English Dictionary: “to turn from one language into another” “翻译是从一种语言转换成另一种语言” 2. Translation is a kind of cross-linguistic, crosscultural and cross-social communication. 翻译是跨语言、跨文化、跨社会的交际活动。 3. Translation means the conversion of an expression from one language into another. To say it plainly, translation is an art to reproduce the exact idea of the author by means of a language different from the original… 翻译指的是将词句从一种语言转换成另一种语言。简单地说， 它是用与原作不同的语言将作者的真正意思准确地复述出来的一 种艺术。
钱钟书“化境”说：
文学翻译的最高标准是“化”。把作品从 一国文字转变成另一国文字，既能不因语言习 惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹，又能完全保 留原有的风味，那就算得入于“化”
许渊冲“优势竞赛论”：
翻译要能扬长避 短，要挥译文语言优 势，忠实于原文内容， 通顺的译文形式可以 当做文学翻译的标准
香港学者蔡思德：信达贴 刘重德：信达切

对翻译操作过程的想象描述
“我喜欢把原作想象成一块方方正正的冰。翻译 的过程就是这块冰溶化的过程。待到变成了液体 状态时，每个分子都变换了位置，没有一个分子 与其他的分子再保留着原来的关系。它们开始了 在第二种语言里形成作品的过程。分子有逃逸掉 的，新的分子涌了进来填补空缺，但是这种成形 和修补的轨迹完全是隐性的。在第二语言里确立 起来的译品是一块新的方方正正的冰块，它虽与 原来冰块不同，然而外表看上去却是一模一样 的。” （Margaret Sayers Peden）
从原语和目的语的角度来看，翻译可分为 本族语译为外语，外语译为本族语两大类， 即译入或译出（translation into or out of one’s mother tongue）
从翻译的手段来看，可分为口译、笔译和 机器翻译。 从翻译的内容来看，可分为文学翻译、政 治翻译、科技翻译和应用文翻译等。

Introduction: What is Translation?
In their elegant but often overlooked preface to the King James Bible, the translators asserted: “Translation it is that openeth the window, to let in the light; that breaketh the shell, that we may eat the kernel; that putteth aside the curtain, that we removeth the cover of the well, that we may come by the water.”

What is translation
What is translation?According to Eugene Nida, “translation consists of reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, firstly in terms of meaning, and secondly in terms of style” briefly speaking, translation is the communication of meaning from one language to another language, and strives to reserve the similar style of the original text. if we delve into the nature of translation, it can be seen as a science, an art, a craft or skill.据尤金·奈达(Eugene Nida)说，“翻译包括在受体语言中再现最接近于源语言信息的自然对等物，首先是从意义上，其次在风格上”，简单地说，翻译是一种语言到另一种语言的意义交流，并力求保留原文的相似风格。
如果我们深入研究翻译的本质，就可以看出它是。
一门科学，一门艺术，一门工艺或技能。
First, when referred to a subject of curriculum, translation is a science, just as any subject is, with its own rules. It involves thinking and languages, and reflects the relationship between existence and cognition. Such relationship can be described with the rule-governed language, so that the translator can abide by scientific rules in his translation.首先，翻译是一门学科，就像任何学科一样，它涉及思维和语言，反映了存在与认知的关系，这种关系可以用规则支配的语言来描述，这样译者就可以在翻译中遵守科学的规则。

1.DefinitionofTranslation翻译的定义
1. Definition of Translation 翻译的定义Down through the ages, people’s definitions of translation are diversified. It differs from person to person, it evolves with time. Changes of the world also helped to shape the connotation of translation. From the following definitions, you may have a glimpse of what translation is.﹒Translating is both a craft and an art, that is to say, it involves an accurate andcontrolled manipulation of language, tempered by a degree of freedom,imagination and creativeness.﹒Transferring the meaning of a stretch or unit of language, the whole part of astretch or unit of language, the whole part of a text, from one language toanother.﹒Translation is like busy matchmakers: they sing the praises of some half-veiled beauty and extol her charms, and arouse an irresistible longing for the original.（歌德）﹒The replacement of textual material in one language (ST) by equivalent textual material in another (TL) (Catford, 1965:20)﹒Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closestequivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and second in terms of style (Nida&Taber1969)Assignment 1What is your idea of “meaning” and “style” of Nida’s work? What is the connotation of style ? Exercise:If you were given two poems, one is by Li Bai (李白) , the other is by Dufu (杜甫) can you differentiate them, what is the author’s habitual use of the language? Similarly, if you were offered two pomes, one by Li Qingzhao (李清照)，the other by Xin Qiji(辛弃疾)，could you differentiate them?2. Principles and Criteria of Translation翻译的原则和标准The so-called principles and criteria of translation are actually the two aspects of the same thing. The former lays emphasis on the translator, who should follow these principles while translating; while the latter on the reader or critic, who may use the criteria to evaluate translation. Whenever principles or criteria of translation are under discussion in China, Y an Fu’s “three-character guide”, which was first proposed in 1898, would be mentioned, namely the principle of “信、达、雅”(faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance).In the past decades, Mr. Y an’s principle of translation has been generally regarded as a plumb-line for measuring the professional level of translation and a goal fortranslators to strive after. However, in the application of this principle, people have come to find some limitations to the three characters and put forward a variety of new standards instead.Three kinds of opinions are expressed on the principle of faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance. The first group maintains the original three characters, and in the meantime, adds some new concepts to the character “雅”. According to them, “雅”means far more than the English word “elegance”. Apart from the traditional interpretation, it also means classicism, and the adherence to the original style and flavor. The second group, however, argues that the word “雅” is out of place in tradition. While adopting the first two characters of Mr. Y an Fu’s principle, they discard the character “雅” and try to find some other new criteria instead. Noticeably, there are revisions such as “信、达、切” (faithfulness, expressiveness and closeness), “信、达、贴” (faithfulness, expressiveness and fitness), and so on. The third group of people, by casting away the three-word guide, proposes some new principles or criteria of translation of their own. Of the various popular theories, two of them are the most influential: spiritual conformity (神似) and sublimed adaptation (化境), the former, proposed by Fu Lei (傅雷) , emphasizes the reproduction of the spirit or the flavor of the original, while the latter, advocate by Qian Zhongshu (钱钟书), focuses on the translator’s smooth and idiomatic Chinese version for the sake of the Chinese reader.Despite the variety of opinions, two criteria are almost unanimously accepted, namely the criteria of faithfulness and accuracy (忠实准确) and that of smoothness (流畅). We may also take these tow criteria as the principles of translation in general. By faithfulness and accuracy, we mean to be faithful not only to the original contents, to the original meaning and views, but also to the original form and style. By smoothness, we mean not only easy and readable rendering, but also idiomatic expressions in the target language, free from stiff formula and mechanically copying from dictionaries.Assignment 2Exercise: 对比原文与译文，探讨忠实与通顺的关系1) All your moods are created by your thoughts o r “cognitions. “Y ou feel the way you do right now because of the thoughts you have at this moment. ”所有的情绪都是由思维产生的，或者说来源于“认识”，“你之所以感到这么做是对的，那是因为你的大脑就是这么想的。

ALEXANDER FRASER TYTLER:
A good translation is one which the merit of the original work is so completely transfused into another language as to be as distinctly apprehended and as strongly felt by a native of the country to which that language belongs as it is by those who speak the language of the original work.
To be more exact, in Nida’s & Tytler’s words：
美国翻译理论家EUGENE A. NIDA：
Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source-language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style. （所谓翻译，是指在译语中用最切近而又 自然的对等语再现原语的信息，首先在语 义上，其次在文体上。)

Key to Section A
The buttered tea takes tea as its main material mixed with some other food, so one will find various tastes when drinking it. The tea not only can warm up one’s body, but also can nourish the drinker. There is a set of rules to follow when one visits a Tibetan family and is invited to drink the buttered tea. One cannot drink up the whole bowl of tea in one breath, but lick the mushy tea while drinking it. The hospitable host often keeps the guests’ bowl filled up; so don’t touch the bowl if you don’t want to drink the tea. If you have enough and cannot drink anymore, you may leave the bowl there for the moment and drink up the tea when you’re leaving. Only one follows these rules in line with the customs and manners of the Tibetans can she/he receive a warm welcome from them.
翻译Translation VS Interpretation
Translation VS InterpretationTo many Chinese students who are learning a foreign language, the only difference between translation and interpretation is in the medium: interpreters translate orally, while translators do his job in written forms.Both interpretation and translation presuppose a certain love of language and good knowledge of more than one tongue. However, it is certain and clear that they are different in the training, skills, and talents needed.The key skill of an excellent translator is the ability to writing well, and to expresses his/her self clearly in the target language. that is why many professional translators almost always translate in only one direction—translating only into their mother language. Even to bilingual people, it is hard for them to express themselves on a given subject equally well in two different languages.And many excellent translators are far from being bilingual. They may not, and needn’t be fluent speakers of the source language (the language of the original text being translated). Their successful performance is based on the ability to understand the source language well and the culture of the country where the original text come from, and, with a good library of dictionaries and reference materials, to render those materials into the target language.An interpreter, on the other hand, is something else. The interpreter has to translate in both directions on the spot without the use any dictionaries.There are two types of interpreting: consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting.In the most popular forms consecutive interrelating, the interpreter sits in a booth, wearing a pair of earphones and speaking into a microphone. Strictly, the consecutive is a misnomer. The interpreters can't start interpreting until they understand the general meaning of the sentence. The interpreters may not be able to say a single word until they hear the very end of the sentence in the source language!It is evident that how hard the job of an interpreter is: he or she should be translating the sentence into the target language and simultaneously listening to the next sentence.One of the key skills of interpreting is the decisiveness. It is obvious that there is no time to weigh the merits of various translations or to recollect the just right idiom in the target language.Any delay can cause the loss of a few words (even a thought) that the speaker said. And because the speaker may be far away, or even in a different room from the interpreter, the loss may bepermanent.During the consecutive interpreting, the speaker stops every 1 to five minutes (usually at the end of a paragraph or a complete thought), and the interpreter then follows the speaker immediately to translate what was said into the target language.One of the key skills involved in consecutive interpreting is note-taking, because few interpreters can memorize the whole paragraph in a short time without losing any details. But the an interpreter’s notes are different from those of a stenographer, because writing down every words in source language only makes the interpreter’s job more difficult when the interpreter should translate the speech into the target language.Many professional interpreters develop their own ideographic symbology. The method allows them to memorize the speakers’ thought independent from the source language instead of every word. In this way, the interpreters can translate more authentically and without too much bund of the souse language in their works.In other words, what the interpreters do is to change the words into meaning, and then express the meaning in another language. So interpreting is substantially paraphrasing.Besides, interpretation requires reasonably accuracy, fluency, articulacy, completeness and timing. So a qualified interpreter needs to have good personalities, which are confidence, sensibility and expressive proficiency.Although there are vast differences between translation and interpretation, they have one thing in common besides the good knowledge of two languages: they must understand the text and the subject matter they are translating well. We should always remember that translating something from one language into another language is using words of one language to substitute those of another.It is a matter of understanding the thought expressing in source language and then explaining it in another language. That is just like you can’t explain one’s thought to others when you can’t totally understand it, you can not translate without comprehensively understanding the subject matter of the source language.。

But, there, The silver answer rang, --- 'Not Death, but Love.
