翻译六大原则(旺旺)

翻译六大原则(旺旺)

我们学习英语时,往往在理解除了英文的意义后,免不了会想到用我们自己的语言或文字把它阐述出来,这种用另一种语言或文字所作的简述就是“翻译”。

翻译必然会牵涉到两种文字,翻译者事前须弄清楚两种文字的相同和相异之处,翻译的过程,就是两种文字的比较过程,所以学习翻译可以帮助我们更透彻了解原文的含义。

学习英文翻译也一样。

多做翻译练习,对提高英文方面的能力是大有益处的。

本章特别介绍基本的英文翻译技巧,希望读者能藉此进一步理解英文的结构,把英文运用得更好。

本章内容共分四节。

第一节介绍翻译的六大原则:省略法﹑增词法﹑重复法﹑转译法﹑颠倒法和否定法。

第二节是要根据上述的六大原则,分别讲解各种词类的翻译方法。

第三节讨论习语的翻译。

最后一节则选取十则译例,先列原文,再列译文,供读者对照学习和借镜。

通过本章,读者定能对英语有更深入的认识,日后阅读﹑作文和会话时,更能应付自如了。

第一节翻译的六大原则(The Six Principles of Translation)一般来说,翻译可归纳为六大原则:省略法(omission)﹑增词法(amplification)﹑重复法(repetition)﹑转译法(conversion)﹑颠倒法(inversion)及否定法(negation)。

现分别详述于下:1.省略法(Omission)在名法结构上,有些在英文中是必要的﹑不可忽略的部份,在中文里却是冗赘的﹑多余的字眼,譬如冠词(a rticles)。

因此在翻译时要注意哪些该省略。

以下分别谈谈一些词类的省略法。

1)主词(subject) 的省略例:(a) But it’s the way I am and try as I might, I haven’t been able to change it.我就是这样,即使竭尽所能,也改不了。

(中译里无须译出后两个主词“I”)(b) John worked so hard that he fell sick.约翰工作认真得生病了。

英语翻译原则作文模板英文回答:Principles of Translation。

Translation is a complex and multifaceted process that involves transferring meaning from one language to another. While there are many different approaches to translation, there are certain principles that are generally consideredto be essential.Accuracy。

Accuracy is the most important principle of translation.A translation must be faithful to the meaning of theoriginal text. This means that the translator must takeinto account not only the literal meaning of the words, but also the context in which they are used.Clarity。

A translation must be clear and easy to understand. The translator should avoid using ambiguous language or jargon that may be unfamiliar to the reader. The translation should also be well-organized and logical.Consistency。

A translation should be consistent throughout. The translator should use the same terms to refer to the same concepts throughout the text. This will help to ensure that the reader does not become confused.Cultural Sensitivity。

泰特勒三原则文献综述

泰特勒三原则文献综述

“泰特勒三原则”文献综述摘要:泰特勒提出的翻译三原则对文学翻译产生了巨大的影响,本文以此为理论依据,针对泰特勒三原则的地位与作用,从与严复“信、达、雅”加以比较和中译三原则方向加以研究,从而更为深刻地理解泰特勒三原则。

关键词:泰特勒三原则“信、达、雅”中译一、引言泰特勒关于翻译理论的传世之作是1790年匿名出版的专著《论翻译的原则》(Essay on the Principles of Translation),书中最为出色的部分之一是泰特勒给“优秀的翻译”下的定义,即“原作的优点完全移植在译作语言之中,使译语使用者像原语使用者一样,对这种优点能清楚地领悟,并有着同样强烈的感受”。

在此基础上,泰特勒提出了翻译的三原则,分别是:译作应该完全再现原作的思想。

译作的写作风格和手法应该与原作具有相同的特征。

译作语言应该与原作语言同样流畅。

泰特勒的理论代表了他那个时代的最高峰,一个重要原因是:他似乎是西方翻译史上尝试将翻译目的与手段区分开来的第一人。

他的翻译三法则和翻译标准恰似一条自然科学定律,包含了该定律的必要条件和结果。

这对后世的翻译论者,尤其是翻译科学派影响极大,因而可以认为是泰特勒对现当代翻译研究的最大贡献。

泰特勒对传统译论的另一重要贡献是澄清并深化了人们对译者是画家这一译界传统比喻的认识。

对于这个流行于18世纪西方的著名比喻,泰特勒着重指出了两者的区别:译者(与画家)的工作则有天壤之别。

译者所使用的色彩与原文不一样,却需要令译文有与原文相同的感染力和效果。

译者愈是战战兢兢地模仿原文,他的译文便愈不能像原文般流畅。

译者同时又要行文流畅,又要忠于原文,哪里会容易做得到呢?(张南峰,2000:14)泰特勒对译者与画家工作性质相异之处的独到分析同样源自他对翻译目的与手段的区分。

译者与画家的目标是一致的,即追求其作品与原作的最大程度的相似,但是,两者所采用的手段截然不同:画家使用的是与原作完全相同的色彩,且模仿原作时受到的约束和羁绊较少;译者使用的却是与原作不同的色彩(另一种语言和文化),因而翻译时面对着巨大的束缚和障碍。

翻译标准

翻译标准

翻译标准就是指翻译实践时译者所遵循的原则,也是翻译批评家批评译文时必须遵循的原则。

翻译是一种社会活动,翻译标准则是从中产生的。

由于社会活动受制于社会条件及译者个人等等因素,因此翻译标准也就打上了深深的社会和译者的烙印。

总的说来,翻译标准大体可分为以下四种:任何翻译实践总要遵循一定的翻译标准或原则,衡量一篇译文的好坏同样也离不开一定的翻译标准,因此翻译标准的确立对于指导翻译实践有着重要的意义。

然而由于人们看待翻译的角度不同,自然有了不同的翻译标准。

概括起来,它们大体可分为以下四类:一、以译出语或译入语为取向的翻译原则(the source-language-oriented or the target-language-oriented translation principle)以译出语为取向的翻译原则唯原文的形式是举,惟恐译文失真,有违原文作者的原意,因此翻译时完全采取词对词、句对句(word for word and line for line)的死译方法,而且常多用音译法。

例如把the Milky Way(银河)直译为"牛奶路",把the apple of my eye(珍爱物;珍爱之人,宝贝)直译成"我眼的苹果";把"Every dog has its day."译为"每只狗都有它的日子"(正确的译法应为"人人皆有得意之日")。

持这种原则的翻译家为数不少,如中国西晋时期的佛经翻译家竺法护(约230-309)、15世纪德国翻译家尼古拉斯·封·维尔(Nicolas von Wyle,生卒年不祥)、近代的美国作家赛珍珠(Pearl Buck, 1892-1973);而以译入语为取向的原则则是一味以译文读者的口味为准绳,完全采用归化的译法。

或是完全为了适合读者的口味而让译文归化,有时甚至不惜曲解原作,如把"When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war."译作"张飞杀岳飞,杀得满天飞"(正确译法应为"两雄相遇,其斗必烈"),把Solomon(所罗门,古以色列国国王大卫之子,以智慧著称)意译成"诸葛亮",把Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king意译为"春,甘美之春,一年之中的尧舜"。

泰特勒 翻译三原则

泰特勒    翻译三原则

翻译的原则,又称翻译的标准,是指导翻译实践,以及评价译文质量的尺度。

18世纪末,爱丁堡大学历史教授亚历山大·F·泰特勒(Alexander Fraser Tytler,1749-1814)在《论翻译的原则》一书中系统地提出了进行翻译和评判翻译标准的三条基本原则:
1. A translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work.
译文应完全复写出原作的思想。

2. The style and manner of writing should be of the same character as that of the original.
译文的风格和笔调应与原文的性质相同。

3. A translation should have all the ease of the original composition.
译文应和原作同样流畅。

(A.F.Tytler: Essay on the Principles of Translation, 1791)
我们在做完任何一次翻译的时候,都需要拿出泰特勒先生的翻译三原则,来审视自己的译文,看看自己的译文是否都符合泰特勒的翻译三原则,养成良好的翻译习惯,才可以不断地在翻译方面取得进步。

He was enjoy the sunshine and the peaceful roads, and when he came to a steep hill he let his bicycle run down it much too fast. But there was a sharp bend at the bottom of the hill. When he was nearly there, a dog rushed out of a farmyard, barking and jumping up at him.Will put his brakes on. He managed not to hit the dog, but he was going too fast to ger round the bend safely. The bicycle ran across the road and hit the bank at the other side. Fortunately, no vehicle was passing, so there was no danger of a collision. As Will was picking himself up, the farmer came out. When he saw that there was no damage, he brought Will back to the farmhouse and gave him a glass of fresh milk.Will was soon to go on with his ride.

商务英语翻译原则与技巧

商务英语翻译原则与技巧

商务英语翻译原则1.准确严谨由于国际商务合同的专业性和兼容性越来越强,因此,合同的内容也就日趋精确和完备。

这就要求译者在翻译时应把“准确严谨”作为首要标准,尤其是合同中的法律术语和关键词语的翻译更应予以特别重视,仅仅忠实原文远远不够,而应严格贴近合同所涉及的专业性内容。

以“offer”一词为例,将它翻译为“提供、提议”是正确的,但在国际商务合同种,offer一般只能译为“要约、报盘”。

此外,为了避免产生歧义,有些词语的翻译必须保持同一种译法,尤其是合同中的专业术语和关键词语都有着严格的法律涵义,翻译时一定要透彻理解原文的内容要求,准确完整地传达合同文件的精神实质。

以“exclusive”为例,exclusive territory应译为“独占区域”,表示许可方不得再把同样内容的技术许可协议授予该地域内的任何第三方。

但是,exclusive contract则译为“专销合同”,表示制造商与转卖商之间签订的专销协议,规定转卖商不得同时经销竞争对手的产品。

2.规范通顺所谓“规范通顺”,就是把理解了的东西,用规范通顺的、合乎合同语言要求的文字(中文)表达出来。

因此,要使合同语言“规范通顺”,译者就要特别注意合同的词语运用规范,符合合同文体中约定俗成的含义。

例如,将“documentarybillatsight”译为“即期付有单据的票据”,虽然表达的意思符合原文要求,但概念并不清晰,因为“票据”本身的涵义是广义的,在国际商务合同中的票据主要指汇票,因此,应译为“跟单汇票”。

此外,国际商务合同的译文不仅要符合合同语言的要求和规律,还应做到通顺,着重体现在条理清晰上。

国际商务合同的条款往往比较繁复,翻译时应首先弄清全文的条例,对各条款间的制约关系和逻辑关系须仔细琢磨,注意译文语言的语句结构,不拘泥于原文的词句结构和句法框框的限制。

1.功能性归化国际商务英语合同自身的文体特征和鲜明的“告知”与“规定”功能,决定了这类文本翻译的特殊要求和目的,即:遣词用字、行文布局必须符合译文的形式和规范,在翻译技巧上毫无例外地一律采用归化的方法。

Essay on the principles of translation 泰勒的翻译三原则Essay on the principles of translationAlexander Fraser TytlerLord WoodhouseleeFirst Edition, 1791The impulse for the essay certainly does not seem to have come from any preoccupation with theoretical statements about the translation process, for Tytler appears to have had a rather spotty and accidental knowledge of that tradition. Instead, he seems to have been moved to write on translation by reading, in his voracious but rather unsystematic manner, a wide variety of literature in the original and translation, and by his own efforts as a translator of Petrarch and Schiller.Third Edition, 1813Tytler had, too, become somewhat more overt about his philosophical foundations, claiming for the first time that his principles were “founded in nature and huamansense”. He notes that what he feels to be a lack of decent commentary on the process translation, even among the ancient authors. Tytler’s approach is that of theantiquarian, reading whatever comes readily to hand, rather than that of te though scholar seeking copiousness. There was before him notreatise that discussed at length the problems of and solutions to the translation dilemma and the more interesting od the explicit statements on the questions scattered about in the introductions to the various translations.While such has been our ignorance of the principles of this art, it is not at all wonderful, that a midst the numberless translation which everyday appear, both of the works of the ancients and the moderns, there should be so few that are possessed of real merit. The utility of translations is universally felt, and therefore there is a continual demand for them. But this very circumstance has thrown the practice of translation into mean and mercenary hands.(7-8)General law of translationIt is the duty of a translator to attend only to the sense andspirit of his original, to make himself perfectly master of hisauthor’s ideas, and to communicative them inthose expressions which he judges to be best suited to convey them. It has, on the other hand, been maintained, that, in order to constitute a perfect translation, it is not only requisite that the ideas and sentiments of the original author should be conveyed, but likewise his style and manner of writing, which, it is supposed, cannot be done with a strict attention to the arrangement of his sentences, and even totheir order and construction. According to the former idea of translation, it is allowable to improve and to embellish; according to the latter, it is necessary to preserve even blemishes and defects; andto these must likewise be superadded the harshness that must attend every copy in which the artist scrupulously studies to imitate the minutest lines or traces of his original. (14-15)Tytler claims to choose a middle position.He then supplies a characterization of what he considers a good translation to be: that. In which the merit of the original work is so completely transfused into another language, as to be 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. (15-16)Three general law:1) That the translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work.2) That the style and manner of writing should be of the same character with that of the original.3) That the translation should have all the ease of the original composition.The translator’s privilege to alter the originalThe issue to which Tytler devotes the majority of his discussion and the one for which many reviewers took him to task is the question of the translator’s liberty to add to,delete from, or in other ways alter the character of his original. Suppression is deemed proper when there is a careless inaccurate expression of the original, where that inaccuracy seems materiallyaffect the sense. (54) and when something offends against the dignity of the native. (55)“An ordinary translator sinks under the energy of his original: of man of genius(42) frequently rises above it”Evaluation and ConclusionAs a result, we cannot expect to find his principles set into afully articulated general framework, whether rhetorical or linguistic. In another way, however, the essay is a modern book, for we find in it no slavish adherence to a classical theory or ancient authority, nor is there a mere categorization on the model of the encyclopedia. Tytler seems to have felt no need to discover a tradition, a usable past which must be assumed as a foundation for a workable present.。

(55)“An ordinary translator sinks under the energy of his original: of man of genius frequently rises above it” (42)Evaluation and ConclusionAs a result, we cannot expect to find his principles set into afully articulated general framework, whether rhetorical or linguistic. In another way, however, the essay is a modern book, for we find in it no slavish adherence to a classical theory or ancient authority, nor is there a mere categorization on the model of the encyclopedia.

美食译苑——中文菜单英文译法(官方全套完整版)

美食译苑——中文菜单英文译法(官方全套完整版)

美食译苑——中文菜单英文译法(官方全套完整版)中西餐终于有了统一翻译标准。

昨日,北京市政府外事办消息,新出版的《美食译苑——中文菜单英文译法》共规范了3102个中西餐饮食名称,其中包括2158个中餐,并向北京市各大餐馆推广。

《美食译苑——中文菜单英文译法》共分三章,分别对中餐、西餐、饮品进行了标准的英文翻译,其中中餐部分细化到八大菜系,包括鲁菜、川菜、闽菜等特色饭菜的介绍和重点翻译。

此次参加翻译的专家不仅有北京外国语大学、清华大学、北京大学等的教授,还邀请了外交部翻译专家、英籍专家、驻外大使等人。

翻译团队带头人、北京外国语大学教授陈琳表示,翻译力争让完全不懂中华文化的外国宾客一眼就能看懂。

“童子鸡”译成Chicken without sex(还没有性生活的鸡),“红烧狮子头”译成Red burned lion head(红烧狮子脑袋)。

“上面的译法都很可笑,外国人看了会一头雾水。

”陈琳表示,在编制标准译法时,不少菜名都引发了编委会的激烈争议。

陈琳介绍,翻译时,还考虑中国文化、国家政策法律、民族问题等。

“东坡肘子、宫保鸡丁,翻译时,把历史人名保留了下来;乞丐鸡直接翻译,保留了一个故事;麻婆豆腐不能翻译成‘麻脸老太太做的豆腐’,这对妇女不尊重。

”他称。
