高级口译笔记——谚语口译(Interpreting Proverbs)①
谚语作为一种以简单通俗的语言来表达深刻道理的语句,常为人们所引用。

千百年来各国之间或多或少的文化交流,往往会使一个民族的谚语跨越疆界,广为流传于其它民族。

许多谚语流传甚广,早已为我们所熟知。

因此,谚语的口译并非是一道不可逾越的障碍。

谚语的口译大致可分为三种类型,一种是“形同意合”的口译,第二种是“形似意合”的口译,第三种是“形异意合”的口译。

高级口译笔记——同声传译(Undertaking Simultaneous Interpretation)
同声传译,又称同步口译,是译员在不打断讲话者演讲的情况下,不停地将其讲话内容传译给听众的一种口译方式。

同声传译的最大优点在于效率高,可以保证讲话才作连贯发言,不影响或中断讲话者的思路,有利于听众对发言全文的通篇理解。

一、在同声传译活动中对译员的要求
1、同声传译要求译员有良好的听觉解意能力。

同声传译是一种即听即译的活动,听入与译出之间只保持几秒钟的时间距离,译员在口头传译几秒钟前听到的信息的同时,还必须耳听及解译新的信息。

因此这种听觉解意能力非同一般意义的耳听会意能力,它指的是一种译员在有自我干扰的环境下及时听解信息的能力。

但是译员的听解并非完全是一种被动的行为,译中可以从大会的主题、发言者的立场、发言论题或论点的背景知识等示意因素,使自己的听译建筑在“上下文”的基础上,进而变被动听译为主动听译。

2、同声传译要求译员具备在听解的同时有迅速组织句子进行连贯流畅表达的能力。

也许有人会认为,汉语是我们的母语,因此英译汉的困难在于能否及时听懂英语内容,不在于如何有汉语来组句和表达。

这完全是对口译工作的一种误解。

组句表达,无论是以外语还是以母语进行,都是一门学问,一种才能,尤其是在需要顾及听的内容的情况下。

二、同声传译的一些基本方法和技巧
1、意译
同声传译即听即译的特点,迫使译员不得不“一心二用”,使译员在翻译过程中难以做到“形”“意”两全。

此外,译员在同步传译时迫于时间压力,也无法对目标语的表达形式斟词酌句一番。

在“形”“意”难以两全的情况下,译员应采用意译的方法,以简洁的语言迅速将来源语所包含的概念和命题传达给听众。

2、顺译
顺译是指一种顺着来源语的词序,按部就班地选择目标语的对应词进行传译的方法。

这里所讲的顺译仅限于顺结构、顺词序的传译,不包括词词对应的顺译。

汉语和英语的基本句子结构均为“主—动—宾”结构,限定词(如数词和所有格代词)和形容词一般也都出现在名词前面,这为英汉顺译或汉英顺译提供了必要的条件。

3、截句
截句是指译员在同声传译过程中及时、适时截断来源语的长句,并按照目标语的表达习惯,将所听到的信息分解成短句,或重组成联句,然后传译过去。

词语置前
例:中国政府将一如既往地支持联合国主持正义、维护和平、促进全球繁荣的行动。

The Chinese government will as always support the UN efforts to uphold justice, maintain peace and promote global prosperity.
词语后置或暂存
例:联合国维和部队应该驻扎在那一地区,一直到所有各方签署了和约为止。

我们的这一立场已得到公认。

Our position is widely received that the UN peace-keeping force will stay in that region until a peaceful agreement has been signed by all concerned parties.
添词
例:我很高兴地向各位通报,中美就知识产权问题签署了一项谅解备忘录,从而避免了一场可能出现的贸易战。

I feel very pleased to report to you that China and the United States signed a Memorandum of Understanding in terms of protecting intellectual property rights, an act that has averted a potential trade war.
减词
例:中国同其周边国家的关系比以往任何时期都好,这种十分珍贵的睦邻友好关系无论对中国人民还是这些国家的人们来说,都极为有益。

China’s relations with its neighboring countries are better than ever before, a situation that best represen ts the interests of the Chinese people and the peoples of other countries concerned.
重复
例:多年来,中国经济的持续增长发挥了越来越重要的作用,这种作用在于促进了亚太地区乃至全球经济的健康发展。

Over the years, China’s sustained economic growth has played an increasing more important role in boosting the hea lthy economic development in the Asian-Pacific region and the world as a whole.
同声传译的才能不是一种可望而不可及的天赋才能。

常言说得好,“工夫不负有心人”。

只要我们细心钻研同传知识和技巧,积极参与同传强化训练,水到自然渠成。
