Two Types of Transfer
• Negative Transfer (负迁移) Errors arise from analogy. 类推会产生错误。 • Positive Transfer (正迁移) Errors decrease by analysis. 分析能减少错误。
We could turn negative transfer (interference) into positive (facilitation) by making analysis on differences between the two languages and arouse the learner‟s awareness of avoiding or reducing errors from analogy. 我们可以通过分析两种语言的差异,提高学生避免 或减少类推错误的意识,把负迁移(干扰)转化为正迁 移(促进)。
人在阵地在。 The position will not be given up so long as we are still living. 人无远虑, If one has no long-term considerations, 必有近忧。 he will find trouble at his doorstep.

汉英广告形容词对比与翻译-精品文档
汉英广告形容词对比(duìbǐ)与翻译一、引言(yǐnyán)广告的主要文体功能是劝说,实现这一功能的基本手段是对商品的生动描写,作为重要修饰手段的形容词在广告语篇中被大量使用。
Leech(1966)将形容词作为广告文体的最重要词汇特征,吴朋(2007)亦证实形容词在广告中的使用远高于其他文体。
然而,目前学界对广告翻译的研究多集中于语篇层面,在研究框架上,多以社会学、修辞学、文体学、语用学等理论为背景,而对具体语言事实的研究较少。
本文基于英汉广告双向平行语料库,聚焦广告文体最重要的词汇特征――形容词,采用实证方法,通过英汉对比概括英汉广告形容词的使用异同,寻找总结广告形容词的翻译策略,为汉英广告翻译提供借鉴。
二、汉英广告形容词对比我们首先创建了汉英广告语料库。
从商品类型出发,我们选择了“食品、化妆品和旅游”三类广告作为研究对象。
为提高对比的客观性,语料库包括文体对等语料库和双向平行广告两部分。
文体对等语料库主要选自报刊和网络,英文报刊如《新闻周刊》(Newsweek)、《读者文摘》(Reader’s Digest)、《家的滋味》(Taste of Home)、《户外》(Outside)和《海岛旅游》(Islands)等,互联网广告主要来源于Yahoo。
双向平行语料库来自出口商品和进口商品的商标和机场、景点等处的宣传手册。
通过语料库检索,我们发现汉英广告形容词具有(jùyǒu)两点共性特征。
第一,汉英广告都大量使用褒义形容词,特别是褒义形容词的比较级和最高级来显化商品价值,以此突出产品优点和树立积极形象,如例(1)、例(2)。
“new,good,better,nice,fresh,rich,great,delicious”等词在英语广告中使用频繁。
同样(tóngyàng),汉语广告也偏爱用“新,好,顶,美”等形容词。
(1)a.Better choice,better living――Vitasoyb.维他奶,更好选择(xuǎnzé),更好生活――维他奶(2)凝聚新动力,文康展新姿――康乐(kānglè)及文化事务署第二,汉英广告都有大量由其他词类派生的或者新拟的形容词,如例(3)、例(4)。

英汉外来词的对比及翻译-2019年文档
英汉外来词的对比及翻译-2019年文档英汉外来词的对比及翻译随着世界各民族之间的各种形态接触,一个民族语言中的某些形式传至另一个民族的语言,于是就产生了外来词,吸收和使用外来词成为语言词汇变化的重要因素。
叶斯帕森说,“没有任何一种语言是绝对纯洁的,我们也找不出一个没有吸收外来词的民族。
”萨丕尔也曾指出, 由于交际的需要, 使说一种语言的人们直接或间接和那些邻近的或文化优越的语言说者发生接触。
然而各种语言对外来词语吸收、消化的能力,存在着很大差异。
1 汉字吸收外来词的主要方式汉字既有表意功能,又有表音功能。
因此,外来词要进入汉语的词汇系统,必须接受汉语的语音、语法和构词规则等各方面的改造,以符合汉语的发音习惯、语法和词汇规则。
因为现代汉字是“表意和表音文字”。
外来词有音译词、意译词、音意兼译词和直接借用四种主要形式。
通过音译借用吸收,语音和语义全部借自外族词,例如,“罗曼蒂克”,这四个字内部并无一定的语义关系,它只是音译了英语(romantic)。
音译是用发音近似的汉字将英语翻译过来,这种被译音了的汉字不再有其自身的原意,只是保留其语音和书写形式。
再如:歇斯底里(hysteric)、幽默(humor)、布丁(pudding)、康乃馨(carnation)、马赛克(mosaic)、扑克(poker)、马拉松(Marathon)等。
通过意译改造融合。
意译词是运用本族语言的构词材料和规则构成的新词,把外语中的某个意义移植进来。
例如,“传真(fax)”、“安乐死(euthanasia)”、工会(trade union)、篮球(basketball)等。
通过音意兼译。
用汉字记录外来词的读音的同时也用汉字的意义表示其意义。
如:奔驰(bonze)、香波(shampoo)、蹦极跳(bungee)。
也可采用半部分音译,半部分意译,如:呼拉圈(hula-hoop)、绷带(bandage)、白金汉宫(Buckingham Palace)、水上芭蕾 (water ballet)、奶昔 (milk shake)等。

英汉词汇对比与翻译
英汉词汇对比与翻译根据《韦氏新世界词典》,词语的意义可以分为两大类:① 所指意义、字面意义(denotation );②内涵意义、隐含意义( connotation )。
语言中的许多词语,往往既有所指意义,又有内涵意义;或者说,既有字面意义,又有隐含意义。
从意义对应的角度看,英、汉两种语言的词语存在以下四种情况:1. 基本对应例如,汉语的“纸”对应英语中的“ paper ”,英语中的“steel ”对应汉语中的“钢”。
2. 没有对应词汇(词语对应缺省)例如,汉语中的“阴”、“阳”、“太极”、“八卦”、“武术”、“气功”等,在英语中就没有相对应的词语。
3. 部分对应一些词语在两种语言中的语义范围不同; 一些词语在一种语言中有内涵意义,在另一种语言里则没有内涵意义; 一些词语所指意义或字面意义相同,内涵意义或隐含意义却大相径庭。
例如:“sister ”一词在英语中的语义范围就大于汉语中的“姐姐” 或“妹妹”。
汉语中“红豆”象征“爱情”或“相思”的内涵意义、“鸳鸯”象征“恩爱”或“白头到老”的内涵意义在英语中就没有。
汉语“气管炎”的内涵意义,英语“ tracheitis ”就没有。
汉语的“梨”由于同“离”字谐音,有“离别”的隐含意义;而英语中的“ pear ”就没有这一层联想意义。
汉语中的“红”和英语中的“ red ”字面意义相同,内涵意义却大不相同:中国人往往用“红”象征“幸运”、“昌盛”、“幸福”,“红颜”、“红粉”喻指美丽的女子,“红楼”指闺房;而英语中的“ red ” 表示“极端危险”、“紧急”、“愤怒”等,如“ red light district ”(红灯区),“red alert ”(紧急警报),“see red” (发怒、冒火)。
英语中“ owl”、“bat ”、“old dog”、“west wind”、“yellow ”同汉语中“猫头鹰”、“蝙蝠”、“老狗”、“西风”、“黄色”等词语的隐含意义也大为不同。

有的译文,从语法角度看是没有什么错误的,但 外国人看不懂,毛病就出在不符合英语的习惯表 达。 例1: 我的心和你在一起 My heart is together with you. I shall be with you in spirit. 例2: 她是一个大龄青年 She is a big-age youth. She is a single youth well above her matrimonial age.

• 汉语是分析型(analytic)语言,其典型特征是没有 屈折变化即汉语的名词不会改变自身的形式 (form)变为(inflection),复数,动词也不用改变自 身的形式表示过去时、现在时或将来时;汉语的 词没有阳性和阴性的变化,汉语中也没有表阳性 和阴性的词缀。汉语词语组合成句依靠词序(word order)和虚词(empty word)。如:“鸟儿飞出了笼 子。”是按正常词序组成的正确句子,若颠倒“ 鸟儿”和“笼子”的位置成为“笼子飞出了鸟儿 ”,该句则成了病句;然若加上“里”字,“笼 子里飞出了鸟儿”,句子便又恢复正常,突出了 鸟儿是从笼子里飞出来的信息。

• 古汉字是一种用符号表示思想或概念的表意文字 (ideographic script),因为它主要是象形字。P32
• 随着指事字、会意字和形声字的出现,且数目不 断增多,汉字已不能简单地视为表意文字,而应 该视为有表意倾向的音节文字(ideographicoriented syllabic script)。汉字一字一音,一字既 可代表语素,又可代表音节。汉字是多功能的, 它是字(character),即构成文字的基本单位;有 些汉字又是词(word),如:句、书、打、走等; 有些汉字既可作词单独使用,也可略变写法作偏 旁部首(radical)使用,如金、木、日、米等;少数 汉字只能作为语素(morpheme)与其他汉字组合成 词语,如菩、乒、忐等。
2020/2/9
• 汉语还被认为是粘着型(agglutinative)语言 ,词的组合依靠词素的粘着。如光(+明)一 光明(+正大)一光明正大;打(+击)一打击一 (+犯罪+分子)一打击犯罪分子。

汉译英中的词义选择
• 1. 根据语境选择合适词义
• “Each word is a new word in a new context.” (Firth, British linguist)
• 例1:“好” • ①. 好的开始是成功的一半。 • Well begun, half done. • ②. 邻居对我都很好。 • My neighbors are all very kind to me. • ③. 这个问题好解决。 • The problem can be easily solved.
• ④. 计划定好了。 • The plan has been drawn up. • ⑤. 你留个电话,有事好联系你。 • Give me your telephone number so that I can contact you
when necessary. • ⑥. 今天下午好几个人过来找你。 • Quite a few people came in looking for you this afternoon.
• Fengshui • 阴阳
• Yin-yang • 馄饨
• Wonton
• 有些词语,采用直译,既可以使译文简洁,又能保留汉语 文化词语的原汁原味,不会产生文化误解。
• 易经 • Book of changes • 号脉 • Feel the pulse • 京剧 • Peking Opera • 龙舟 • Dragon boat • 春节 • Spring Festival • 站票 • Standing-room-only tickets
• 在直译无法达到效果的情况下,可采用意译。 • 意译法舍弃了词语的语言形式和字面意义,着眼于传
