▪ 在英汉互译过程中,由于两种语言表达习惯不同,往 往需要把英语中的正说译成汉语中的反说,把英语中 的反说译成汉语中的正说,这样才能确切表达原意并 符合语言的规范。这种把正说处理为反说,把反说处 理为正说的译法,叫正反表达法。这种正说和反说的 相互转换是翻译技巧中的一个重要方法。它属于引申 和修辞范围。那么,什么是正说和反说呢?英语词句 中含有“never”,“no”,“not”,“non-”,“un-”, “im-”,“in-”,“ir-”,“-less”等成分以及汉语词句 中含有“不”、“没”、“无”、“未”、“甭”、 “别”、“休”、“莫”、“非”、“毋”、“勿” 等成分的为反说,不含有这些成分的为正说。
