实用文体翻译

实用文体翻译期末整理根据老师PPT整理而成供学弟学妹们复习使用~~一、翻译标准1、以译出语或译入语为取向的翻译原则2、直译与意译重点难点：A，He had the agility of a man half his age.他像岁数比他小一半的人那样敏捷。

B，Every dog has its day.人人皆有得意之日。

C，Cast pearls before swine. 对牛弹琴D，They ran away as fast as their legs could carry them. 他们拼命逃跑，连吃奶的力气都用上了。

二、英汉差别1、真朋友&假朋友2、转换：译者将大脑中分析好的语言材料——具有原语深层结构形式的一串词语——转换为具有译语深层结构的一串词语。

3、重构：将已经转换为译语深层结构的一串词语，为着符合译语惯用的表层结构形式、更好地表达原文内容、更好地体现原文功能与风格的目标，重新排列、连接或删除。

4、英汉差异——句子扩展模式中：句首开放性和句尾封闭性英：句首封闭性，句尾开放性——形合和意合中：意合英：形合5、“核心句分析法”，即把英语复杂句分解为语义相对完整的只包含单个主谓框架(即只包含一个谓语动词)的多个句子——核心句，分析各个核心句间的语义逻辑关系，然后用合乎译语表达习惯的排列方式对各核心句进行重构。

按照汉语（一）先发生先说后发生后说，（二）先说事实，后说评价，（三）先说因后说果（以及先说条件后说推断、先说手段后说目的、先说反面后说正面等）的原则，并使用适当的省略、重复、代称等，把核心句翻译成汉语。

重点难点：A,阴（the soft, inactive, female principle or force in the world）B,a broken record of argument陈词滥调我们已按很低价格向你们报盘。

We have made you an offer at a very competitive price.C,相声=cross talk=comic dialogueD,鱼米之乡=land of fish and rice=land of milk and honeyE,eat one’s words承认错误The sea refuses no rivers. 贪得无厌blue wool高级羊毛extended family大家庭jelly built project豆腐渣工程drink like a fish牛饮F,We never meet without a parting. 有聚就有散G,We took off and flew over the city and slowly gained height.我们起飞了，飞过城市，慢慢飞高。

实用文体翻译作业2

好的广告语翻译：1. Easier dusting by stre-e-etch.（除尘布）拉拉拉长，除尘力强。

分析：stretch一词除了作为除尘布的品牌名称“拉长”外，其拼写被别出心裁地拉长的效果，形成感觉上的延伸，这便传达出该词的本意“延伸”，真切而形象地渲染了产品的功效。

2. One good banking ideas in Canada led us to another in London.加拿大非凡的银行概念，指引我们在伦敦再创辉煌。

分析：该口号在谚语：A good turn deserves another（善有善报）的基础上进行了较大的扩张。

该广告的撰写者旁敲侧击巧妙地将加拿大银行暗含其中，而且选用“善有善报”来创新以作为银行的广告口号是再合适不过了，因为它除了本身意思以外，还承载着弦外之音：存款在银行，总会有回报。

3. All work and no play make a dull stay. （Ming Court大饭店）只工作不玩耍，生活单调无味。

分析：这则口号套用了英语中的一句著名谚语：All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy（只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻）。

这家大饭店套用那句谚语，意在招徕客人，使他们逗留新加坡时去他们饭店，在那里可以尽情享受，以免旅途成为dull stay。

众所周知，新加坡是通行英语的国家，而从事国际事物的人基本上都懂英语，因此，他们很容易明白这则口号个中的涵义，也就有可能投宿这家饭店。

4. One man’s sushi is another man’s steak.（日本航空公司）寿司牛排，风味不同，任君选择。

分析：该例是日本航空公司对欧洲大陆的广告，即套用了One man’s meat is another man’s poison（一个人的佳肴却是另一个人的毒药）。

“寿司”是日本风味的饭卷，而“牛排”则是欧洲的主菜。

二.关于实用文体
应用文体的简明性主要是通过如何途径来完成实现的？ ①术语和套语使用频繁术语往往是由一定的行业协会审定并在该行业内普遍使用的概念或者词语。国内外均以标准文件的形式公布审定的术语。

三.关于翻译的标准
③表意准确、实用性强在合同中，准确性尤为重要，其主要体现在数量词的大量运用。时间，价格，数量，金额，规格等问题贯穿商贸活动始终，数字的表达应言之确凿，避免摸棱两可。在其他应用文写作中也需斟字酌句。例：“请”字的翻译请告知我方交货日期。 Please let us know tour delivery date. 请将两份提单由不同的邮班寄来。 Kindly send us 2 bills of lading by separate posts.

实用文体翻译1 (7)

论商务问题翻译的感悟当我还没有更深一步地接触这门课的时候，我还停留在翻译只要遵循“信、达、雅”的原则就应该很完美的概念，尤其是在听力顾老师的深刻得分析及讲解后我才知道自己对翻译，尤其是对实用文题的翻译的理解是有多么地肤浅，案子嘲笑自己的肤浅及无知。

经过顾老师的几节课的讲解及分析后，我才有一种醍醐灌顶，听君一席话，胜读十年书的大彻大悟。

每个单词用于一个新的语境既是一个新的单词。

例如，“reserves”一词当放在货币用语中时即为“储备额”，当作为货物理解时既是“储量”的意思。

我们学的翻译主要是针对商务问题翻译，所以老师再三强调商务英语的问题意识及专业术语对等意识的重要性。

这方面的例子老师举了很多。

例如，“initiatives”在商务术语中为确保约定的商业盈利/利润。

“outstanding”为已公开发行/出售的”;“factor”为率，系数；“in terms of”为根据……这算；“particular average”为单独海损；“lot labels”为货票标签；“lot”一词在外贸运输中指“票（一票物）。

“stowage instructions”为“配/积载令”等等一系列的贸易术语。

作为一个学商务英语的学生，听了老师说了这么多我以前从来没听说过的主页术语，有种豁然开朗的感觉，再难的贸易术语经过老师的讲解就会变得简单易懂。

令我印象最深刻的就是“stowage instructions”和“lot labels”。

其中老师还说了翻译时最容易被忽略的复数式的名词，例如，“contributions”为“出资额”；“sales”表“销售量”；“grants”表“专用拨款”等等加了“s”的单数名词都表示“……额”，“……量”。

总之，商务英语问题翻译和普通的翻译大不相同，稍有差池边会犯下“差之毫厘，谬以千里”的打错，更有甚者会闹出笑话。

所以在翻译时一定要遵守术语对等予以意识、复数意识、专业知识意识、词语组合意识等，在上下文语境中才能达到专业问题翻译的目的。

10实用文体翻译材料

翻译练笔材料1．An Englishman who had just landed in China entered a restaurant to appease the pangs of hunger. Unfortunately he knew no Chinese and the waiter knew no English; so they were both thrown on mother wit. John Chinaman articulated “Bowwow”, to which John Bull moved his head from right to left. Then the waiter said “Quack, quack!”, to which the customer moved his head from sky to earth, and the inner man was soon satisfied.2．A college professor was one day nearing the close of a history lecture and was indulging in one of those rhetorical climaxes in which he delighted when the hour struck. Thus students immediately began to slam down the movable arms of their lecture chairs and to prepare to leave .The professor, annoyed at the interruption of his flow of eloquence, held up his hand:“Wait just one minute, gentlemen, I have a few more pearls to cast.”3. 得与失国王为了感谢多年来服侍他忠心耿耿的仆人，说：「你尽管向前跑，只要在日落之前绕一圈回来，围到的土地全部送给你。

实用文体-时事政治翻译

public • b. government transparency
1.科学发展观
the Outlook of Scientific Development 2.倡导公正、合理的新秩序观
call for the establishment of a new just and equitable order
• 原译：…lies in its reunification with the mainland.
• 这里主要指台湾与大陆的统一，因为香港和澳门已经回归，主要是解决台湾问题。乍看起来这个译文也是可以的，英文也比较标准。但从深层考虑，祖国统一应包括大陆、港、澳、台等，不仅仅指台湾与大陆，因此从政治角度看不妥。
时政翻译
• I. 首先是理解原文要准确，这是翻译的基础和前提。
• 从事政治翻译，对有政治含义的词句，特别是涉及到大政方针、领土、主权的问题，要多从政治方面进行深入解读并掌握好分寸。例如：
• （1）台湾前途系于祖国统一
• The future of Taiwan lies in the reunification of the motherland.
（一）吃透原文的精神，摆脱中文句型的束缚，重原文内涵，按照英语规律和习惯，利用加字、减字、转换词类等技巧，甚至调整全句结构，使译文通顺流畅。例如：
（7）“不辱使命、不负重托
”live up to the mission assigned to them and the full trust placed on them
b. Income distribution has yet to be rationalized.
“关系”一词没有实质意义，因此译文b就将它减去，使句子干净利落。

实用文体翻译练习2

练习材料第一单元地理篇No Giant SkyscrapersChicago and New York are famous for their tall buildings. California cannot be. Its buildings have to be famous for their beauty or their historical importance1. California is earthquake country2.The San Andreas Fault3 is a cause of earthquakes. It is a long crack in the earth that stretches from Southern to Northern California. Rocks inside the earth move and the earth shakes. These earthquakes make the fault bigger4.The most famous earthquake in California happened in 1906. It destroyed most of the young city of San Francisco. People rebuilt the city. They looked at the buildings that did not fall in the earthquake5 and they learned more about building in California.Tall buildings can be dangerous6 in earthquakes. Today California has codes7 that say how a building must be built and how tall it can be.Los Angeles has several earthquakes each year. The tall buildings move8 a little and everyone takes a deep breath. Usually tourists and newcomers are the most frightened. People who grew up in California say, “We’re used to it!”Earthquakes do not stop the building industry in California, but they do make architects work a little harder9. The buildings they design have to look good and stand up in an earthquake. These buildings are good examples of modern California architecture. The Bonaventure Hotel is a few city blocks from the old Mission Church. The Century City Complex is near the ocean. It stands on the site of the old Twentieth Century Fox movie studios. These buildings show that people are not afraid to build in California.水桥在巴拿马，有一座世界闻名的“水桥”，那就是巴拿马运河。
