同传中到英技巧杂谈
以下运用到同传技巧的典型中英翻译对照是本人整理课堂录音而成,因此本文版权实属口译大家陈子豪先生所有。借此机会再次对陈老师的指教深表感谢。
在巴斯学了半年的口译,听老师讲英翻中的技巧比较多,比较系统地学习中翻英的同传技巧这还是头一次,中翻英受重视的程度可见一斑。据本人分析大概有三点原因:1,国际会议上中翻英比英翻中的机会少,相应的中翻英受到的重视也就相对较少,做这方面研究的专家也就不多;2,研究中翻英技巧固然需要很高的英文水平,而目前口译领域内以英语为母语的口译员凤毛麟角;3,中英文本身的差异以及英文的局限性使得中翻英时没有太多技巧可研。
通过陈子豪大师一节课的点拨,本人目前对中翻英同传的理解是:为了达到顺翻的目的而不折手段!即使将英文肢解得支离破碎、惨不忍睹也在所不惜。达到这种效果的手段大致有两种:
一种是将中文主语前冗长的修饰成分如:前置定语、状语从句等想尽办法翻成英文的主谓宾结构(见例句1、2),不能翻成主谓宾结构的尽量翻成英文介词词组如:concerning,on the question of, regarding,等(如例句5、7);另一种是预测,说白了就是猜。就是当宾语等了半天还没出来的时候不得已先“拉个中性的词来顶替”,这个技巧怕是用的最多的了,据不完全统计,19个例句种用到这种猜技的就有6个(9-14)。
好了,废话少数,同传这东西,理论知道得再多练习不勤也是白搭。当然这些例句放在这里也只是供我们“解剖”之用,用陈老师的话来说就是“慢动作打套拳”,套拳打熟了之后才能在战场上应对自如。
收录编辑过程曲折(大师之脑--机器--普通大脑--机器),再加上个人水平有限,错误在所难免,欢迎大家指正。另外,如果有谁发现了更好的技巧或典型例句希望能放上来和大家共享。
