Diction (选词法)What is diction?In order to make an accurate and smooth translation, a translator should consider how to find a word or words by which the original idea may be most aptly expressed. Diction, the choice of words and phrases to express meaning, is therefore one of the basic techniques. Diction must be based on the accurate comprehension of the original. The meaning of a word is its use in the language, not only its definitions in the dictionary. A dictionary does not require or forbid a particular sense of a word but records the uses that have beeen found for it. Now and then a word is in the process of acquiring a new sense or somewhat altering its usual one. The dictionary definiton is for the most part a record of the denotation of a word and often cannot give its connotation. Lexicograghers or dictionary compilers agree that in many cases two corresponding words of different language do not always convey exactly the same idea. Words do not have meanings; people have meanings for words. Each word when used in a new context is a new word. Beginners often rigidly adhere to the verbal consistency of words in two languages, while neglecting their contextural consistency. Care should therefore be taken in translating to determine from the context the exact shade of meaning of a word or an expression in the source text and the choice of an appropriate one to express the meaning in the target version.Choice of affective meanings(选择情感意义)Choice of grammatical meaning (选择语法意义)Choice of contextual meaning (选择语境意义)Choice of collocative meaning (选择搭配意义)Choice of stylistic meaning (选择文体意义)Choice of extended meaning (选择引申意义)1.Choice of affective meanings(选择情感意义)Affective meaning refers to what is communicated of the feelings and attitudes of the writer towards the reader. There are basically there types of affective meanings: positive(褒义), neutral (中性), and derogatory(贬义).1. Aggressive nations threathen world peace.侵略成性的国家威胁世界和平。

英语措辞Diction

英语措辞Diction

英语措辞Diction《英语措辞 Diction》在学习英语的过程中,我们常常会听到“diction”这个词,它指的是措辞,也就是在表达时选择和运用词汇、短语以及句子结构的方式。

英语措辞的恰当与否,直接影响着我们交流的效果和质量。

一个好的英语措辞能够让我们的表达清晰、准确、自然,并且能够更好地传达我们的意图和情感。

反之,如果措辞不当,可能会导致误解、混淆,甚至让我们的表达显得生硬、不流畅。

首先,词汇的选择是英语措辞中的关键环节。

我们需要根据具体的语境和交流对象,选择合适的词汇。

比如说,在正式的商务场合,我们应该使用比较正式、专业的词汇,而在与朋友日常交流时,则可以使用更加随意、口语化的词汇。

举个例子,如果我们要表达“高兴”这个意思,在正式的书面语中,可能会使用“delighted”“pleased”这样的词汇;而在口语中,“happy”“glad”就更加常见。

再比如,“购买”这个动作,在正式场合可以用“purchase”,而在日常交流中,“buy”就足够了。

除了词汇的选择,短语的运用也能为我们的英语措辞增色不少。

一些固定搭配的短语不仅能够让我们的表达更加地道,还能更准确地传达特定的含义。

例如,“in the long run”(从长远来看)、“by and large”(大体上)、“on the contrary”(相反)等等。

这些短语的恰当使用能够让我们的语言更加丰富和生动。

句子结构在英语措辞中同样重要。

不同的句子结构可以产生不同的表达效果。

简单句简洁明了,能够直接传达核心信息;复合句和复杂句则可以展示更复杂的逻辑关系和丰富的内容。

比如,“I love reading”这是一个简单句,直接表达了“我喜欢阅读”的意思。

而“He said that he would come if he had time”则是一个复合句,通过宾语从句的使用,更详细地说明了他来的条件。

在英语措辞中,还需要注意避免一些常见的错误。

Now and then a word is in the process of acquiring a new sense or somewhat altering its usual one.

1. Correspondence Between English and Chinese at Word Level----英汉词字层次上的五种对应情况In most cases there is no existing pattern for sentence translation, nor are there fixed rules for word transfor mation. Generally speaking, the correspondence between English and Chinese at word level may be categori zed as follows:1) Word-for-word CorrespondenceThis is most evidently shown in proper nouns and technical terms.For example: Marxism = 马克思主义Aspirin =阿斯匹林2) One Word with Multiple Equivalents of the Same MeaningThis is a common case in translation.For example:犬:dog, hound, spaniel, mastiff, pointer, setter, retriever, terrier……3) One Word with Several Equivalents of Different MeaningThis is also very common in translation. For example:carry: 搬、运、送、提、拎、挑、担、抬、背、扛、搂、抱、端、举、夹、捧…..走:walk, saunter, amble, stride, trudge, trapes, shamble, prance, scamper, clump, tiptoe ….羊: sheep, goat, ram, ewe, lamb……4) Equivalents Interwoven with One Another5) Words Without EquivalentsIn this case, an explanation is given instead of an equivalent.For example:clock-watcher: 老是看钟等下班的人阴: (in Chinese thought) the soft inactive female principle or force in the world阳: (in Chinese thought) the strong active male principle or force in the world(目不识)丁: (not know one's) ABC2. Methods to Discriminate the Original Meaning of an English Word-----词义辨析Since English words are prone to various meanings, it is of vital importance for a translator to discern the rig ht meaning of a given word. And the following are the major methods of discriminating word meaning sugge sted by some linguists.1) Judging from the Word FormationIn order to discriminate the original meaning of an English word, it is necessary for us to have a knowledge of English lexicology, and specifically, a knowledge of word formation, such as compounding, derivation, af fixation, blending, acronym, clipping, etc. A good command of them will help to shed light on the correct me aning of some difficult words.For example, the word ""parabiospheric"", which consists of para-(outside) +bio-(biologic) +spheric (havingthe form of a sphere). After a brief analysis, we may safely put it into ""外生物层的"". Another more complicated instance, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. This extremely lon g word seems appallingly complicated. However, an anatomic study of its composition enables us to get a cl ear understanding of its meaning: pneumono- (of lung) +ultra- (beyond) + micro (very small) + scopic- (of vi ewing or observing) + silico- (of silicon)+ volcano + coni- ( koni, of dust) + osis (forming the name of a dise ase). Even if we are not sure of the equivalent of this medical term, we may roughly get the right meaning of the long word: a kind of lung disease caused by extremely small silicon particles. And a look into some dicti onary leads us to the definite answer: 硅酸盐沉着病,肺尘病(一种矿工易染的病)。

diction的名词解释

diction的名词解释

diction的名词解释1. 引言语言是人类交流和表达思想的重要工具,而在语言中,词汇选择的准确性和效果对于有效沟通至关重要。

这就引入了一个重要的概念,即diction(用词)。

2. 概述Diction,通常被定义为个体或作家在表达意思时选择和使用特定词汇的方式。

它关注的是词汇的准确性、合适性和效果。

通过使用恰当的词汇,一个人或作家可以更好地传达其意图,以及让读者或听众更准确地理解和体会他们所表达的信息。

3. 类型和特点在讨论diction时,有几个关键的因素值得考虑。

首先是词汇的准确性。

当一个人选择准确的词汇时,他们能更准确地传达他们的意思。

例如,如果一个医生在向患者解释诊断时使用了专业术语,患者可能无法完全理解。

与此相反,如果医生使用普通人能理解的词汇,患者将更容易理解和接受信息。

另一个重要的因素是词汇的合适性。

使用合适的词汇意味着使用符合环境和受众的词汇。

例如,在正式场合中,使用流行俚语可能不太合适,因为它可能会给人不专业或不成熟的印象。

因此,在选择词汇时,要根据特定情境和受众作出明智的选择。

此外,词汇的效果也是diction中一个关键的方面。

特定的词汇可以产生不同的情感和氛围。

一个作家可以通过选择不同的词汇来创造不同的情感,如喜悦、忧伤或紧张。

同样,演讲者也可以通过选择特定的词汇来激发听众的情感共鸣。

4. 好的diction的重要性一个好的diction是有效沟通的基础。

通过选择准确、合适和有力的词汇,一个人可以确保自己的意思能够准确地被传达和理解。

好的diction还有助于建立信任和引起共鸣。

当读者或听众感到词汇选择符合他们的需求和理解时,他们更有可能被激发兴趣并与作者建立联系。

5. diction的应用领域不同的领域和专业都有自己特定的diction。

例如,在文学和诗歌中,diction非常重要,因为它可以创造出独特的文学风格和情感。

在演讲中,演讲者的词汇选择可以影响他们的口才和演讲的说服力。

英语写作中的十大常见错误

英语写作中的十大常见错误

英语写作中的十大常见错误英语写作中的十大常见错误俗话说“千里之行始于足下”。

英语书面表达能力的形成不是一日之功,必须从平时的课堂学习一点一滴抓起,持之以恒。

下面店铺为大家整理了英语写作中的十大常见错误,希望能帮到大家!一、不一致(Disagreements)所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致、时态不一致及代词不一致等。

例:When one have money, he can do what he want to.剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has;同理,want应改为wants。

本句是典型的主谓不一致。

改为:Once one has money, he can do what he wants (to do).二、修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化。

对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解。

例:I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末。

三、句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)在口语中,交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等,不完整的句子完全可以被理解。

可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后,笔者又想加些补充说明时发生。

例:There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on.剖析:本句后半部分"for example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on."不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句。

Example:
When I was a kid, and reading every science fiction book in the local library, I used to wonder exactly how the future would happen. By that I don’t mean what the future would be like----science fiction already told me that----but rather how we’d actually get there. Science fiction books seemed to agree, for example, that in the future there would be no money----all transactions would be made via identity cards and centralized computers. But that seemed dubious to me: how, I wondered, are you going to get everybody to give up money in the first place?

Definition:Words which are mainly used in informal or
familiar conversation.

Usage: In literary works their main use is to record people's
thoughts and dialogues. Feature: They are usually short words of one or two syllables and most of them are of Saxon origin (起源于撒克 逊人)— not borrowed from Greek, Latin, or French).
General and Specific Words
General and Specific Words:

General Words are recapitulative. Specific Words are detailed--it helps to make writing clear, exact, vivid, and striking, for they are more informative and expressive than general words.

措词——大学英语写作的关键所谓措词(diction),是指在写作时选用最恰当的词来表达自己的思想。

措词恰当与否的关键是同义词的辨析。

英语中同义词很丰富,但是完全等值的同义词很少,绝大多数同义词存在细微的意义和用法上的差别。

而这些意义和用法上的细微差别正是我们写作时应特别注意的。

如何通过教学,解决学生在英语写作中出现的措词难的问题呢?笔者以为当从以下三方面做起。

一、注意同义词的文体差异按文体分,词一般可分为俚语、口语、一般性词汇、正式用词、专业术语、古词语等,另外还有行话和隐语等。

大学英语阶段的学生习作应多用一般性词汇,即词的共核(common core),尽量少用口语和正式用词(又称书卷语),避免使用俚语、行话和隐语。

不同类型的词语混用,将造成词的“脱格”(incompatibility)。

比如我们不太可能读到这样的句子,也不宜写这样的句子:例1、Boy,Im so pooped from working and I am too impecunious to go to the dan ce.例2、He was so hard up then and often had to work till he felt fatigued.我们大学英语阶段的习作中应避免这种脱格的句子,读起来不伦不类。

Boy,Im so poope d from working 宜翻译为:哥们,我都累蔫了。

I am too impecunious to go to the da nce 则可译为:我生活拮据,舞厅不敢问津。

而He was so hard up then 可译为:他当时穷光蛋一个;had to work till he felt fatigued 必须努力工作直至精疲力竭。

在一个句子中有两种截然不同的文体词语则显得滑稽可笑。

所以,在学习单词的过程中,我们不仅要知道单词的基本含义,还要了解它们的文体差异。

Diction
Diction :
By
“ diction ” we mean the proper choice of words and phrases to express meaning based on the accurate comprehension of the original
3.one
word with several equivalents of different meanings
cousin:堂兄,堂弟,堂姐,堂妹,
表哥,表弟,表姐,表妹,卿… President:总统,总裁,主席,董事 长,议长,社长,会长,校长 羊:sheep,goat,ram,ewe,lamb
Why we should learn the diction?

Now and then a word is in the process of acquiring a new sense or somewhat altering its usual one .Each word when used in a new context is a new word .beginners often rigidly adhere to the verbal consistency (字面上的对应)of words in two languages ,while neglecting their contextual consistency(上下文中的一致). Care should therefore be taken in translating to determine from the context the exact shade of meaning of word or an expression in the source text and the choice of an approriate one to express the meaning in the target version.
Examples:
1.
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it. 凡是忘掉过去的人注定要重蹈覆辙。(relive 要重温的意思) 2. Aggressive nations threaten world peace. 侵略成性的国家威胁世界和平 A salesman must be aggressive if he want to succeed. 推销员如要成功,必须要有闯劲。

In translation practice,diction is rather a matter of accurate comprehension of the original and a good command of Chinese vocabulary than a mere technique of translation. We should remember that:
