Eugene A. Nida(奈达): Functional Equivalence(功能对等) A minimal, realistic definition of functional equivalence: The readers of a translated text should be able to comprehend it to the point that they can conceive of how the original readers of the text must have understood and appreciated it. A maximal, ideal definition of functional equivalence: The readers of a translated text should be able to understand and appreciate it in essentially the same manner as the original readers did.
Hale Waihona Puke 3. 科技英语翻译标准科技英语（English for Science and Technology, 简称 EST）作为一种英语文体，其翻译的标准为“信”和“达”， 即“忠实”和“通顺”。科技文章的特点是专业性强，逻辑严 密，表达严谨，译文应反映这些特点。所谓“忠实”，就是要 求译者必须弄懂英语原文的语言，准确而完整地理解全部内容 （包括思想、精神与风格）。不能任意增删、曲解、篡改或遗 漏。“忠实”对科技翻译尤为重要。译文必须准确，不能模糊 不清、模棱两可，以免产生歧义。同时，要防止对“忠实”的 片面理解，一味追求形式上的相似，造成逐字死译，产生翻译 上的形式主义。试比较下列各句的不同译文：

Introduction to Translation
I. What is Translation?
1. A story of translation in Bible Long long ago, all the people speak the same language . When they transferred to the east, they found a plain and then lived there. They decided to build a tall tower, so that it can stretch to the heaven and they can live in the heaven. When Jesus saw this, he was afraid that if all the people speak the same language, they can do everything they want. So Jusus went down from the heaven and confused their languages so they couldn’t communicate with each other and they didn’t finish the Bable Tower. Since then, people lived in different places and spoke different languages. Hence comes the translation.

Chapter One
• 这类翻译标准或原则的共同特点是：翻译既要“忠实”又要 “通顺”，即译文必须既要考虑到原作者又要考虑到译文的 读者。
• 所谓忠实，首先指忠实于原作的内容。译者必须把原作的内 容完整而准确地表达出来，不得有任何篡改、歪曲、遗漏阉 割或任意增删的现象。其次还应保持原作的风格——即原作 的民族风格、时代风格、语体风格、作者个人的语言风格等。 译者对原作的风格不能任意破坏和改变，不能以译者的风格 代替原作的风格。

P8Word: the smallest unit of language that can be used by itself. P11Morpheme: the minimal formal element of meaning in language; a unit which cannot contain morethan one element of meaning and cannot be further analyzed. P11Lexical meaning: the specific value a word has in a particular linguistic system and the “personality”it acquires through usage within that system. P12Propositional meaning: the meaning of a word or an utterance which arises from the relation between it and what itrefers to or describes in a real or imaginary world, as conceived by the speakers of the particular language to which the word or utterance belongs. P13Expressive meaning: the meaning of a word or an utterance which relates to the speaker?s feelings or attitude rather than to what words and utterances refer to. P13Presupposed meaning: the meaning of a word or an utterance which arises from co-occurrence restrictions, i.e. restrictions on what other words or expressions we expect to see before or after a particular lexical unit. P14Selectional restriction: 1. a restriction on the choice of individual lexical units in construction with other lexical units. E.g. breath will typically “select” an animate subject, not an abstract or an inanimate. 2. A restriction imposed on the potential referents of a phrase, etc. related to it: e.g. pregnant will typically “select” a subject referring to someone or some animal that is female. P14 Collocational restriction: any restriction on the collocability of one individual word with another. P14 Evoked meaning: the meaning which arises from dialect and register variation. P15Dialect: A dialect is a variety of language which has currency within a specific community or group of speakers. P15 Register: a variety of language that a language user considers appropriate to a specific situation. P15 Field of discourse: An abstract term for “what is going on” that is relevant to the speaker?s choice of linguistic items. P16 T enor of discourse: An abstract term for the relationships between the people taking part in the discourse. P16 Mode of discourse: An abstract term for the role that the language is playing (speech, essay, lecture, instructions) and forits medium of transmission (spoken, written).Halliday (1964) identifies three variables that determine register:Field (the subject matter of the discourse),T enor (the participants and their relationships) andMode (the channel of communication, e.g. spoken or written).Semantic field: a distinct part of the lexicon defined by some general term or concept. E.g. in English the semantic field of colour includes words such as black and red. P18Lexical sets: the actual words and expressions under each semantic field. P18Superordinate: a word the meaning of which includes the meaning of another word or words. P20 Hyponym: a word whose meaning is included in that of another word. P20Loan word: a word imported by borrowing from another language. P25False friend: words or expressions which have the same form in two or more languages but convey different meanings. P25 Correspondence: a term used to refer to the relationship which exists between elements of SL and TL that are in some way considered to be counterparts of each other.Equivalence: (see correspondence)Domestication (domesticating translation): a term used by V enuti to describe the translation strategy in which a transparent, fluent style is adopted in order to minimize the strangeness of the foreign text for TL readers.Foreignization (foreignizing translation): a term used by V enuti to designate the type of translation in which a TT is produced which deliberately breaks target conventions by retaining something of the foreignness of the original.SL (source language): the language in which the text being translated is written.TL (target language): the language which is being translated into.ST (source text): the text (written or spoken) which provides the point of departure for a translation. TT (target text): a text which has been produced by an act of translation.SL-oriented translation: a translation which puts its emphasis on the close transfer of the source text. TL-oriented translation: a translation which puts emphasis on the response of the receptor of the TT.Chapter 2Equivalence at word levelOutline2.1 The Word in Different Languages2.1.1 What is a word?2.1.2 Is there a one-to-one relationship between word and meaning?2.1.3 Introducing morphemes2.2 Lexical MeaningPropositional meaning, expressive meaning, presupposed meaning, evoked meaning2.2.1 Propositional vs expressive meaning2.2.2 Presupposed meaningSelectional restriction & collocational restriction2.2.3 Evoked meaningRegister—field, tenor and mode2.3 The Problem of Non-Equivalence2.3.1 Semantic fields and lexical sets—the segmentation of experienceSemantic fieldLexical setsSuperordinate vs hyponym2.3.2 Non-equivalence at word level and some common strategies for dealing with it2.3.2.1 Common problems of non-equivalence1.

汉译英课不是孤立的一门课。与之直接相
关的课程有汉语阅读、汉语文学、英语写作、
符号系统的学科。
11）课堂学习和课外学习结合
实际上，高校各系科极少存在一门课的学
习任务只在课堂内就能完成的情况，几乎所有
课程都需要课外配合。像汉译英这种难度较大
的课更需要在课外做大量的工作，仅仅限于课 时不多的课堂学习是完全不够的。查词典、查 资料、做汉译英练习、学翻译理论和技巧、了 解相关学科的知识、修习汉语等等多半都只能 放在课外进行。

6）比较分析译文与原文/译文
汉译英过程涉及许多方法和技巧，其中 特别奏效的是比较分析，具体地讲，就是一 种译文与原文之间、多种译文与原文之间、 多种译文之间的比较分析。这种比较分析可 以在词、句、段、篇等层面上进行。通过比 较分析，可以弄清汉英两种语言在语音、语 法、语义、语用、词汇、文体、修辞等方面 的异同点。
免重蹈覆辙，提高学习效率。
不仅要重视分析自己犯的错误，也要重
视分析他人犯的错误。现在有不少探讨汉译

Literary views on translation
Translators who hold this view believe that translation is an artistic reception or a recreated art.
语言是塑造文学形象的工具，因而文学的形象性特征必然要在语言上表现出来。文学语言的特征，诸如形象、生动、鲜明、含蓄、凝练、准确、风趣、幽默、辛辣、滑稽、悦耳、民族特点、地方色彩，还有行业习语、民间的俚语、谚语等等，都是作家根据塑造形象的需要，从现实生活中提炼创造出来的。文学作品的艺术形式与思想内容是辩证统一的，翻译要保存原作风格特点，因此要求译文生动形象、形神毕肖、雅俗等同、词情并茂。 （方梦之，2004：292）
琵琶琴瑟，八大王王王在上。 魑魅魍魉，四小鬼鬼鬼犯边。 It is difficult and even impossible to translate such cultural items. Translation is the most complicated human activity.
美国著名语言学家雅各布森（Roman Jakobson,1896－1982）从符号学的观点出发，把翻译分为三类：语内翻译、语际翻译和符际翻译。
1、语内翻译（intralingual translation） 语内翻译是同一语言内部的翻译。方言与民族共同语、方言与方言、古代语与现代语之间的转换就是语内翻译。英语学习中解释疑难句子常常用到的paraphrase其实也是一种语内翻译。 例1．余闻而愈悲。孔子曰：“苛政猛于虎也。”吾尝疑乎是，今以蒋氏观之，犹信。 （《捕蛇者说》柳宗元） 我听了（这些话）更加感到悲伤。孔子说：“苛酷的统治比猛虎还要凶啊！”我曾经怀疑这句话，现在从姓蒋的遭遇看来，这是可信的。 例2．Radiating from the earth, heat causes air currents to rise. = Heat causes air currents to rise when it is radiating from the earth. 热量由地球辐射出来，使得气流上升。

• 2)短语作定语的语序调整 短语作定语的语序调整 英语中短语做定语一般都位于在中心词后面， 英语中短语做定语一般都位于在中心词后面，在翻译的 过程中需要将它们移到中心词前， 过程中需要将它们移到中心词前，如： The old professor in spectacles is the head of our department. 译文： 老教授是我们的系主任。 译文：那个戴眼镜的老教授是我们的系主任。 There were no tickets for Saturday's performance. 译文： 票已告罄。 译文：星期六演出的票已告罄。 This is a street 10 miles long and 50 meters wide. 译文：这是一条10英里长 英里长， 米宽的街道 米宽的街道。 译文：这是一条 英里长，50米宽的街道。 The organization will face different problems arising from growing up. 译文： 各种问题。 译文：这个组织将面临发展过程中出现的各种问题。
• 1) 单词后置定语的语序调整 大部分单词作定语都是位于中心词之前， 大部分单词作定语都是位于中心词之前，只有一小部 分单词是位于中心词之后， 分单词是位于中心词之后，这些通常后置的单词定语 主要包括： 主要包括： a. 一些以 一些以-able或-ible结尾的形容词 或 结尾的形容词 某些以-able或-ible结尾的形容词作定语，与every, the 结尾的形容词作定语， 某些以 或 结尾的形容词作定语 only或与形容词的最高级连用来修饰名词时，通常需 或与形容词的最高级连用来修饰名词时， 或与形容词的最高级连用来修饰名词时 要后置。在翻译过程中需要把这些词调整到中心词前， 要后置。在翻译过程中需要把这些词调整到中心词前， 如： They tried every way possible but got nowhere. 译文：他们尝试了各种可能的办法，但毫无进展。 译文：他们尝试了各种可能的办法，但毫无进展。 This is the only referent book available here on this subject. 译文：在这里， 译文：在这里，这是唯一能找到的一本论述该题材的 参考书。 参考书。 We have experienced the greatest difficulty imaginable. 译文：我们经历了所能想象的最大困难。 译文：我们经历了所能想象的最大困难。

1。什么是翻译
翻译是将一种文字之真义全部移至另一种 文字而绝不失其风格的神韵。（吴献书， 1949） 翻译是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。（张培基，1980） 翻译是将一种语言文字所蕴含的意思用另 一种语言文字表达出来的文化活动。（王 克非，1997）
5. 翻译的历史

He has badly wounded in the head. He has a good head for mathematics. The dinner cost us five dollars a head. Go and ask the head of our department. Where is the head?
原文有两点内容： 树的历史的开始时间 树的历史是怎样一回事 参考翻译：一棵树，从它在森林中生长直 到被制成木板使用为止，这段历史会构成 一个饶有趣味的故事，在很多情况下这个 故事十分激动人心。
2. 翻译的性质
翻译到底是科学还是艺术？ 翻译不仅是一种艺术，一种技巧，还是一 门科学。所谓科学，是指可以采用处理语 言结构的科学途径、语义分析的途径和信 息论来处理翻译问题，也就是采取语言学 的、描写的方法来解释翻译过程。（奈达） 翻译不是科学，翻译学才是科学。（谭载 喜）
