叠词的翻译
叠词的形态格式


叠词是汉语的一种特殊词汇现象,使用非 常普遍。汉语的名词、数词、量词、形容 词、副词、动词以及象声词都有重叠变化, 其主要形态格式有一下十类: 1.AA:天天、看看、洋洋、哄哄 2.AAB:毛毛雨、洗洗手、刷刷牙、写写字 3.ABB:眼巴巴、水汪汪、凉丝丝、亮堂堂 4.AABB:高高兴兴、认认真真、三三两两、 滴滴答答


汉语词汇重叠后,一般无词性变化。但是 词义大都会发生变化。叠词词义变化可归 纳为三种情况。 1.增义:增加语义 2.强义:加强语意 3.弱义:减缓语意
叠词的翻译

虽然英语有重叠元音或辅音而形成的词汇, 有类似于重叠的单词连续反复,以及象声 词重叠的现象。但是,与汉语的重叠变化 来说相去甚远,它们远不足以翻译汉语的 叠词。因此,大多数情况下,只能舍弃其 形式而译其意义,用比较切近、自然的译 文表达出原文的语意和体现重叠后词的词 义变化。尽管如此,我们还是可以从中找 出一基本的翻译方法。
(一)并列关系

方法:将前后两个词语分别译成相应的英 语译文,然后中间用并列连词”and”连接即 可。

二、 将四字词组译成短语,如介词短语、
副词短语、不定式短语
这种方法往往是套用英语中最简单的词
组或句型。
某位领导的讲话要求外交人员“立场坚
定、目光远大、头脑敏捷、业务熟练、 才华出众、风格高尚”, “A Chinese diplomat should be firm in stand, broad in vision, swift in wit, qualified in profession, outstanding in talent, noble in character.”
三、套用英语中意思相同及功能对等 的习语
四字词组中有很大一部分是固定词组,即成语。成语
往往带有浓厚的民族色彩和地方色彩。翻译时除了要 忠实地表达原文意义之外,还要尽可能保持原文成语 的形象比喻,丰富联想,修辞效果以及其民族、地方 特点等。有的成语和英语中的习语在内容和形式上都 相符合,双方不但有相同的意义和修辞色彩,并且有 相同或大体相同的形象比喻。汉译英时,如果遇到这 种情况,不妨直截了当地套用英语同义习语。这样的 译文可能会增色不少,基本能实现四字词组的美学价 值转移。
谚语俗语
亡羊补牢
Mend the fold after the sheep is stolen. 外来语 一尘不染 Free of dust 心花怒放
Be wild with joy\be elated
新生成语
分秒必争
Seize every minute and second Race against time 百花齐放
香港人、爱护香港人的旭日辉映下,满怀信心,升锚 启航,向着振兴中华,祖国统一的宏伟目标乘风奋进。 We are embarking on a new era. With the respect and trust from the entire nation, we will be much more equipped to sail forward with confidence and with conviction.We will play a part in facilitating the reunification of the entire nation, and bringing a better life to all in the nation.

汉语四字成语的英译

汉语四字成语的英译

浅析汉语四字成语的英译[摘要]:在进行新希望大学英语综合教程阅读部分的教学过程中,发现许多句子如果用直译的方法翻译过来,有些生硬,别扭,相反如果翻译成汉语的四字成语,会感觉到恰如其分,想到这样的对应关系,会让人有心头一喜的感觉。

下面就将所有总结与大家分享,不足之处,敬请各位同仁批评指正。

[关键词]:四字成语汉译英英译汉一、概要汉语中的许多成语,习语,读起来朗朗上口,听起来通俗易懂,用起来随心应手,尤其是四字成语,最为多见,数量也最多,约占汉语的90%以上。

而英语是一种非常理性的语言,最看重清晰明确,最忌逻辑混乱与文字堆砌,不像汉语那样过分借重辞藻来加强文义,烘托氛围,所以将汉语中的四字成语翻译成英文会是一个很繁杂的工程。

许多学者都是从汉语的构成结构为出发点,来研究其翻译的。

但是这会出现许多的问题,这也是傅一勤在从《林语堂当代汉英词典》到《新时代汉英大词典》——以中文四字成语的英译为例这篇文章中提到的问题,因中文的四字成语常具有句子的形态,很容易让人把它当作一个独立的短句或谓语(即无主语的句子)来翻译,因此常造成在表面上看起来似乎没有问题、而在实际应用上却格格不入的翻译,完全不能适用,必须另起炉灶,重新翻译。

比如明哲保身 use ones wits to ensure one’s own survival(and shirk moral responsibility);be worldly wise and play safe:他一向信奉明哲保身的处世哲学。

he has always believed in the philosophy of self-preservation.所以笔者认为从英译汉的角度来研究汉语四字成语的翻译会更恰当,更实用。

二、英汉四字成语对照喉头哽咽:get a huge lump in one’s throat迫不及待:could not wait for someone to do something出乎意料:against all expectation, mike finished high school with top grades.不出所料:the show lived up to all our expectations--- it was so wonderful.梦中情人:mrs. green fields had hoped for a similar romance when she met her love on the internet.衣着得体仪表堂堂:the man was well-dressed, and she was not disappointed in his physical appearance.和谐相处共度一生:the lonely young woman felt she’d finally found the man with whom she can live with in harmony. 如意郎君:mr. right失声痛哭:looking at my mom, i almost burst out crying. 经济拮据:i knew money was tight.钻石戒指:there was a tiny ring with a diamond chip in the center.言归正传: let’s get down to business.点头同意:i could only nod my head in agreement.百分之百同意:i’m 100% in agreement with you.温柔和睿智:gentle wise spirit毫无音信:a few weeks went by with no response.收支平衡:make both ends meet毫不例外:i was no different.反过来讲:in return, tugs brought new meaning to the term adoration.形影不离:wherever i went, he wanted to be there too,. 病入膏肓:two men ,both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room..时机成熟:as soon as it seemed appropriate ,the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.美丽如画:the novelist’s vivid description made us imagine the picturesque and beautiful scenery at the shores.生机勃勃:i like spring very much because it enlivens all nature.轻而易举:michael was broke when he started his business,but now he can buy 10 houses for his mother with ease.又惊又喜:at this news, the look on his face was a mixture of surprise and happiness.束手无策:as he was digging, other helpless parentsarrived, clutching their hearts, saying:“my son, my daughter!”三、结语从上面可以看出,汉语的四字成语有时候相当于英语的一个名词,形容词,动词,或者相当于汉语的形容词短语,介宾短语,或者无主句等等。

中文四字成语的英译及其翻译策略

中文四字成语的英译及其翻译策略

中文四字成语的英译及其翻译策略一、运用视角转换进行形象的替代在成语翻译上,视角转换是汉英跨文化理解和翻译的一种不可或缺的手段,它的运用主要体现在形象的替代上。

1. 借用不同的喻体与说法。

成语是民族语言的精华,是人们在长期实践认识过程中提炼出来的语言结晶,是修辞手段运用比较集中的语言。

汉英成语修辞各有特色。

既有共通之处,亦有其各自的特性。

找出其异同,融会贯通其本意,对于掌握翻译实践中灵活采用对译的方法,借用不同的喻体与说法都不无好处。

例如:鹤立鸡群(like a peacock in the barnyard)一模一样(like the two peas in the pod)鱼米之乡(a land of rice and fish)守口如瓶(as dumb as an oyster)在借用不同喻体和说法的方法中还可分为两种情况:(1)汉英借喻词不同。

胜券在握(to have the ball at one's feet)胆大妄为(to rush in whereangels fear to trend)(2)汉语是明喻而英语是暗喻或直述。

暴跳如雷(to hit the ceiling)巧舌如簧(to have a oily tongue)2. 借用英语中的原有类似说法。

汉语中有些成语的含义与英语中的一些熟语有着异曲同工之妙,对译各有情趣。

(1)说法基本一致。

下面是一些汉英成语含义对等的情况,此时翻译时可直接借用。

轻如鸿毛(as light as a feather)如出一辙(to cut from the same cloth)(2)说法类似。

欲速则不达(more haste, less speed)一帆风顺(plain sailing)(3)汉英对应说法的跨文化理解和翻译。

杀鸡取卵(to kill the golden goose)命中注定(be in the cards)二、直译和意译法在汉语成语英译中的运用但在很多情况下,借用毕竟是有限的,e69da5e6ba903231313335323631343130323136353331333365653837下面我们就讨论一下最常用的直译法和意译法。

英汉成语的翻译

英汉成语的翻译

Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. 不可过早乐观。
Every cloud has a silver lining. 天下没有绝对的坏事;黑暗中总有一丝光明
Among so many well-dressed and cultured people, the country girl felt like a fish out of water.
英汉成语的翻译
1. 英汉成语比喻上的不同
中国人常常用成语“雨后春笋”来形容一般事物的迅 速发展和大量涌现。英语则用just like mushroom(犹如 蘑菇一样众多)来形容同样的意思。竹子不是英国土生 土长的植物,甚至连bamboo(竹)这个词也是引进的外 来语。因此,英国人不可能以竹笋作成语的形象来比 喻。
He carelessly glanced through the note and got away.
二、 将四字词组译成短语,如介词短语、
副词短语、不定式短语
这种方法往往是套用英语中最简单的词组或句型。 如广告中常用的典雅大方elegant and graceful,轻柔松
这些词主要是名词、形容词、副词、动词。一 部分汉语四字词组译为英语时只需用一个英语 单词替换就足以表达它的意思。例如:
这是走向繁荣昌盛的唯一道路。
This is the only road leading to prosperity. 虽然我们前面的道路崎岖不平…… Although the road before us is rough... 他马马虎虎地看了看那张便条就走了。
figure.
3. 历史背景上的不同
中国自古以来是一个以农业为主的大国,农业人口占 很大比例,因此,成语中有很大一部分是农谚。

汉语四字结构的英文翻译(讲义)

汉语四字结构的英文翻译(讲义)

汉语四字排比结构的英译处理四字结构几乎可见于古今各种文体之中,或独自成句,或并列排比,或前呼后应。

结构匀称对仗,读起来音韵和美,表达言简意赅,将汉语文字的音与形的特点巧妙揉和在一起,极富美感。

而汉语四字排比结构就更是词义丰富,文才华丽,语气连贯,具有极强的修辞效果。

尽管如此,汉语四字排比结构的字面意义并非历历具足,往往是虚实相生,重在气势和意境;而英语却是一种非常理性的语言,最重清楚明白,最忌逻辑混乱与文字堆砌,所以在翻译的过程中,汉语工整对仗、抑扬顿挫的排比结构在英语中却多半变得长短不一、参差不齐,这是不可避免的。

因为我们不可能强求与原文保持形式上的一致,这样一来反而会导致译文表达松散堆砌,这是不符合英语表达习惯的。

因此,汉语的四字排比结构在翻译成英语时,可根据其语义成分和逻辑成分,转化成英语中相应的结构。

下面就逻辑关系分别说明其英译处理的方法:1.并列关系的四字排比结构的英译处理并列关系的四字排比结构通常转化为英语中的下列结构:a.形容词+ 名词1)按照合理布局、优化结构、突出重点的要求,加强宣传文化事业的基本建设。

刘沧龙分享那些年咱们翻译时所用的四字结构

刘沧龙分享那些年咱们翻译时所用的四字结构

刘沧龙分享:那些年咱们翻译时所用的四字结构四字结构在翻译中超级的常见,所谓的四字结构,即是四字成语、熟语、一切临时组合四字短语等等。

有些词语比较常见,有些翻译人员就顺便用在翻译工作当中,而忽略了词语的意思。

咱们稍稍观看,发觉可能有两种情形。

其中最需要注意的是通俗用语。

这种语言日常生活中很有表现力很能引发人的共鸣,但作为翻译人员,却要注意时刻以准确地表达意思为前提。

【例】I hope we are not like those human do-gooders …译文:我不希望咱们成为事后诸葛亮——出于好心,却帮不上什么忙的人。

【例】-..better to be one of millions viewing a film than one of mere thousands reading a book.译文:成为追捧热播电影的一员,比成为罕有"阅读恐龙族"一员要好。

前两个译文——"张家庄、李家店"和"事后诸葛亮"——都有"归化"过度之嫌。

第三个例子,与其说在翻译贝娄,不如说在翻译自己,结果译者形象鲜活,作者风格不显,恐不可取。

在这方面也不乏好的例子,如将谈话中的"the people on the block"译为"左邻右舍"、"街坊邻里",将口语语境下的"wonder"译为"不明白"、"疑惑",都是用地道的中文忠实地转达了原文意义和风格。

模式化的第二种情形是公共生活用语。

报刊、电视、网络等公共传媒中的一些表达方式,咱们因为习以为常,往往习焉不察,用在创作中能够,用在译文中那么需认真查对文字意义,不能轻率。

例如"与时俱进"那个词,在本次竞赛译文中常常显现,"up-to-date" 、"refusing to be obsolete" 、"new technical developments", "avoiding technological obsolescence"等,通通交给"与时俱进"去组织。

汉译英中常见四字结构的翻译
在汉语中有很多类似成语的四字结构,它们没有成语那么深的寓意,但表达形式很像成语,令很多翻译初学者头疼,其实很多时候我们遇到这种结构是不要想太多,准确理解其真正含义,用相应的英语单词或者表达翻译就是了。

一般四字格中总会有两个词语组成一个汉语词语,看前后两个字组成的词语的逻辑关系来采用不同的方法来翻译即可,但切记先得判断清楚四节结构的词类以及前后两个词组的关系。

(一)并列关系,这一类四字结构的特点是前后两个词组是并列关系,且词类相同,只须用语义合词类对应的英语表达即可。
