新编简明英语语言学教程课文翻译
新编简明英语语言学教程课文翻译《新编简明英语语言学教程》第二版练习题参考答案Chapter 1 Introduction1. How do you interpret the following definition of linguistics: Linguistics is the scientific study of language.答:Linguistics is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data, conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure. In order to discover the nature and rules of the underlying language system, the linguists has to collect and observe language facts first, which are found to display some similarities, and generalizations are made about them; then he formulates some hypotheses about the language structure. The hypotheses thus formed have to be checked repeatedly against the observed facts to fully prove their validity. In linguistics, as in any other discipline, data and theory stand in a dialectical complementation, that is, a theory without the support of data can hardly claim validity, and data without being explained by some theory remain a muddled mass of things.2. What are the major branches of linguistics? What does each of them study?答:The major branches of linguistics are:(1) phonetics: it studies the sounds used in linguistic communication;(2) phonology: it studies how sounds are put together and used to convey meaningin communication;(3) morphology: it studies the way in which linguistic symbols representingsounds are arranged and combined to form words;(4) syntax: it studies the rules which govern how words are combined to formgrammatically permissible sentences in languages;(5) semantics: it studies meaning conveyed by language;(6) pragmatics: it studies the meaning in the context of language use.3. In what basic ways does modern linguistics differ from traditional grammar?答:The general approach thus traditionally formed to the study of language over the years is roughly referred to as “t raditional gramma r.” Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar in several basic ways.Firstly, linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive.Second, modem linguistics regards the spoken language as primary, not the written. Traditional grammarians, on the other hand, tended to emphasize, maybe over-emphasize, the importance of the written word, partly because of its permanence.Then, modem linguistics differs from traditional grammar also in that it does not force languages into a Latin-based framework.4. Is modern linguistics mainly synchronic or diachronic? Why?答:In modem linguistics, a synchronic approach seems to enjoy priority over a diachronic one. Because people believed that unless the various states of a language in different historical periods are successfully studied, it would be difficult to describe the changes that have taken place in its historical development.5. For what reasons does modern linguistics give priority to speech rather than to writing?答:Speech and writing are the two major media of linguisticcommunication. Modem linguistics regards the spoken language as the natural or the primary medium of human language for some obvious reasons. From the point of view of linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing. The writing system of any language is always “invented” by its users to reco rd speech when the need arises. Even in today's world there are still many languages that can only be spoken but not written. Then in everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed. And also, speech is always the way in which every native speaker acquires his mother tongue, and writing is learned and taught later when he goes to school. For modern linguists, spoken language reveals many true features of human speech while written language is o nly the “revised” record of s peech. Thus their data for investigation and analysis are mostly drawn from everyday speech, which they regard as authentic.6. How is Saussure's distinction between langue and parole similar to Chomsky's distinction between competence and performance?答:Saussure's distinction and Chomsky's are very similar, they differ at least in that Saussure took a sociological view of language and his notion of langue is a matter of social conventions, and Chomsky looks at language from a psychological point of view and to him competence is a property of the mind of each individual.7. What characteristics of language do you think should be included in a good, comprehensive definition of language?答:First of all, language is a system, i.e., elements of language are combined according to rules.Second, language is arbitrary in the sense that there is nointrinsic connection between a linguistic symbol and what the symbol stands for.Third, language is vocal because the primary medium for all languages is sound.Fourth, language is human-specific, i. e., it is very different from the communication systems other forms of life possess.8. What are the main features of human language that have been specified by C. Hockett to show that it is essentially different from animal communication system? 答:The main features of human language are termed design features. They include:1) ArbitrarinessLanguage is arbitrary. This means that there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds. A good example is the fact that different sounds are used to refer to the same object in different languages.2) ProductivityLanguage is productive or creative in that it makes possible the construction and interpretation of new signals by its users. This is why they can produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences, including sentences they have never heard before.3) DualityLanguage consists of two sets of structures, or two levels. At the lower or thebasic level there is a structure of sounds, which are meaningless by themselves. But the sounds of language can be grouped and regrouped into a large number of units of meaning, which are found at the higher level of the system.4) DisplacementLanguage can be used to refer to things which are present ornot present, real or imagined matters in the past, present, or future, or in far-away places. In other words, language can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the spe aker. This is what “displacement” means.5) Cultural transmissionWhile human capacity for language has a genetic basis, i.e., we were all born with the ability to acquire language, the details of any language system are not genetically transmitted, but instead have to be taught and learned.9. What are the major functions of language? Think of your own examples for illustration.答:Three main functions are often recognized of language: the descriptive function, the expressive function, and the social function.The descriptive function is the function to convey factual information, which can be asserted or denied, and in some cases even verified. For example: “China is a large country with a long history.”The expressive function supplies information about the user?s feelings, preferences, prejudices, and values. For example: “I will never go window-shopping with her.”The social function serves to establish and maintain social relations between people. . For example: “We are your firm supporters.”Chapter 2 Speech Sounds1. What are the two major media of linguistic communication? Of the two, which oneis primary and why?答:Speech and writing are the two major media of linguistic communication.Of the two media of language, speech is more primary than writing, for reasons, please refer to the answer to the fifth problem in the last chapter.2. What is voicing and how is it caused?答:V oicing is a quality of speech sounds and a feature of all vowels and some consonants in English. It is caused by the vibration of the vocal cords.3. Explain with examples how broad transcription and narrow transcription differ? 答:The transcription with letter-symbols only is called broad transcription. This is the transcription normally used in dictionaries and teaching textbooks for general purposes. The latter, i.e. the transcription with letter-symbols together with the diacritics is called narrow transcription. This is the transcription needed and used by the phoneticians in their study of speech sounds. With the help of the diacritics they can faithfully represent as much of the fine details as it is necessary for their purpose.In broad transcription, the symbol [l] is used for the sounds [l] in the four words leaf [li:f], feel [fi:l], build [bild], and health [helθ]. As a matter of fact, the sound [l] inall these four sound combinations differs slightly. The [l] in [li:f], occurring before a vowel, is called a dear [l], and no diacritic is needed to indicate it; the [1] in [fi:l] and [bild], occurring at the end of a word or before another consonant, is pronounced differently from the clear [1] as in “leaf”. It is called dark[?] and in narrow transcription the diacritic [?] is used to indicate it. Then in the sound combination [helθ], the sound [l] is followed by the English dental sound [θ], its pronunciation is somewhat affected by the dental sound that follows it. It is thus called a dental [l], and in narrow transcription the diacritic [、] is used to indicate it.It is transcribed as [helθ].Another example is the consonant [p]. We all know that [p] is pronounced differently in the two words pit and spit. In the word pit, the sound [p] is pronounced with a strong puff of air, but in spit the puff of air is withheld to some extent. In the case of pit, the [p] sound is said to be aspirated and in the case of spit, the [p] sound is unaspirated. This difference is not shown in broad transcription, but in narrow transc ription, a small raised “h” is used to show aspiration, thus pit is transcribed as [p h?t] and spit is transcribed as [sp?t].4. How are the English consonants classified?答:English consonants can be classified in two ways: one is in terms of manner of articulation and the other is in terms of place of articulation. In terms of manner of articulation the English consonants can be classified into the following types: stops, fricatives, affricates, liquids, nasals and glides. In terms of place of articulation, it can be classified into following types: bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, palatal, velar and glottal.5. What criteria are used to classify the English vowels?答:V owels may be distinguished as front, central, and back according to which part of the tongue is held highest. To further distinguish members of each group, we need to apply another criterion, i.e. the openness of the mouth. Accordingly, we classify the vowels into four groups: close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels, and open vowels. A third criterion that is often used in the classification of vowels is the shape of the lips. In English, all the front vowels and the central vowels are unfounded vowels, i. e., without rounding the lips, and all the back vowels, with the exception of [a:], are rounded. It should be noted that some front vowels can be pronounced with rounded lips.6. A. Give the phonetic symbol for each of the following sound descriptions:1) voiced palatal affricate2) voiceless labiodental fricative3) voiced alveolar stop4) front, close, short5) back, semi-open, long6) voiceless bilabial stopB. Give the phonetic features of each of the following sounds:1) [ t ] 2) [ l ] 3) [?] 4) [w] 5) [?] 6) [?]答:A. (1) [?] (2) [ f ] (3) [d ] (4) [ ?] (5) [?:] (6) [p]B. (1) voiceless alveolar stop (2) voiced alveolar liquid(3) voiceless palatal affricate (4) voiced bilabial glide(5) back, close, short (6) front, open7. How do phonetics and phonology differ in their focus of study? Who do you think will be more interested in the difference between, say, [l] and [?], [p h] and [p], a phonetician or a phonologist? Why?答:(1) Both phonology and phonetics are concerned with the same aspect of language ––the speech sounds. But while both are related to the study of sounds,, they differ in their approach and focus. Phonetics is of a general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages: how they are produced, how they differ from each other, what phonetic features they possess, how they can be classified, etc. Phonology, on the other hand, aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.(2) A phonologist will be more interested in it. Because one of the tasks of the phonologists is to find out rule that governsthe distribution of [l] and [?], [p h] and [p].8. What is a phone? How is it different from a phoneme? How are allophones relatedto a phoneme?答:A phone is a phonetic unit or segment. The speech sounds we hear and produce during linguistic communication are all phones. A phoneme is not any particular sound, but rather it is represented or realized by a certain phone in a certain phonetic context. The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the allophones of that phoneme. For example, the phoneme /l/ in English can be realized as dark [?], clear [l], etc. which are allophones of the phoneme /l/.9. Explain with examples the sequential rule, the assimilation rule, and the deletion rule.答:Rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language are called sequential rules.There are many such sequential rules in English. For example, if a word begins with a [l] or a [r], then the next sound must be a vowel. That is why [lbik] [lkbi] are impossible combinations in English. They have violated the restrictions on the sequencing of phonemes.The assimilation rule assimilates one sound to another by “copying” a feature of a sequential phoneme, thus making the two phones similar. Assimilation of neighbouring sounds is, for the most part, caused by articulatory or physiological processes. When we speak, we tend to increase the ease of articulation. This “sloppy” tendency may become regularized as rules of language.We all know that nasalization is not a phonological featurein English, i.e., it does not distinguish meaning. But this does not mean that vowels in English are never nasalized in actual pronunciation; in fact they are nasalized in certain phonetic contexts. For example, the [i:] sound is nasalized in words like bean, green, team, and scream. This is because in all these sound combinations the [i:] sound is followed by a nasal [n] or [m].The assimilation rule also accounts for the varying pronunciation of the alveolar nasal [n] in some sound combinations. The rule is that within a word, the nasal [n] assumes the same place of articulation as the consonant that follows it. We know that in English the prefix in- can be added to ma adjective to make the meaning of the word negative, e.g. discreet – indiscreet, correct – incorrect. But the [n] sound in the prefix in- is not always pronounced as an alveolar nasal. It is so in the word indiscreet because the consonant that follows it, i.e.[d], is an alveolar stop, but the [n] sound in the word incorrect is actually pronounced as a velar nasal, i.e. [?]; this is bec ause the consonant that follows it is [k], which is a velar stop. So we can see that while pronouncing the sound [n], we are “copying” a feature of the consonant that follows it.Deletion rule tells us when a sound is to be deleted although it is orthographically represented. We have noticed that in the pronunciation of such words as sign, design, and paradigm, there is no [g] sound although it is represented in spelling by the letter g. But in their corresponding forms signature, designation, and paradigmatic, the [g] represented by the letter g is pronounced. The rule can be stated as: Delete a [g] when it occurs before a final nasal consonant. Given the rule, the phonemic representation of the stems in sign –signature, resign –resignation, phlegm – phlegmatic, paradigm – paradigmatic willinclude the phoneme /g/, which will be deleted according to the regular rule if no suffix is added.10. What are suprasegmental features? How do the major suprasegmental features ofEnglish function in conveying meaning?答:The phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments are called suprasegmental features. The main suprasegmental features include stress, intonation, and tone. The location of stress in English distinguishes meaning. There are two kinds of stress: word stress and sentence stress. For example, a shift of stress may change the part of speech of a word from a noun, to a verb although its spelling remains unchanged. Tones are pitch variations which can distinguish meaning just like phonemes.Intonation plays an important role in the conveyance of meaning in almost every language, especially in a language like English. When spoken in different tones, the same sequence of words may have different meanings.Chapter 3 Morphology1. Divide the following words into their separate morphemes by placing a “+” betwee n each morpheme and the next:a. microfile e. telecommunicationb. bedraggled f. forefatherc. announcement g. psychophysicsd. predigestion h. mechanist答:a. micro + file b. be + draggle + edc. announce + mentd. pre + digest + ione. tele + communicate + ionf. fore + fatherg. psycho + physics h. mechan + ist2.

Give at least two examples of each.Model: a-prefix: a-meaning: “without; not”stem type: added to adjectivesexamples: asymmetric, “lacking symmetry”asexual, “without sex or sex organs”答:(1) prefix: dis-meaning: showing an oppositestem type: added to verbs or nounsexamples : disapprove, “do not approve”dishonesty, “lack of honesty”.(2) prefix: anti-meaning: against, opposed tostem type: added to nouns or adjectivesexamples : antinuclear, “opposing the use of atomic weapons and power”antisocial, “opposed or h armful to the laws and customs of anorganized community. ”(3) prefix: counter-meaning: the opposite ofstem type: added to nouns or adjectives.examples: counterproductive, “producing results opposite to those intended”counteract, “act against and redu ce the force or effect of (sth.) ”4. The italicized part in each of the following sentences is an inflectional morpheme.

What is syntax?Syntax is a branch of linguistics that studies how words arecombined to form sentences and the rules that govern the formation of sentences.2. What is phrase structure rule?The grammatical mechanism that regulates the arrangement of elements (i.e. specifiers, heads, and complements) that make up a phrase is called a phrase structure rule.The phrase structural rule for NP, VP, AP, and PP can be written as follows: NP →(Det) N (PP) ...VP →(Qual) V (NP) ...AP →(Deg) A (PP) ...PP →(Deg) P (NP) ...The general phrasal structural rule ( X stands for the head N, V, A or P): The XP rule: XP →(specifier) X (complement)3. What is category? How to determine a word's category?Category refers to a group of linguistic items which fulfill the same or similar functions in a particular language such as a sentence, a noun phrase or a verb.To determine a word's category, three criteria are usually employed, namely meaning, inflection and distribution. A word's distributional facts together with information about its meaning and inflectional capabilities help identify its syntactic category.4. What is coordinate structure and what properties does it have?The structure formed by joining two or more elements of the same type with the help of a conjunction is called coordinate structures.Conjunction exhibits four important properties:1) There is no limit on the number of coordinated categories that can appear prior tothe conjunction.2) A category at any level (a head or an entire XP) can be coordinated.3) Coordinated categories must be of the same type.4) The category type of the coordinate phrase is identical to the category type of theelements being conjoined.5. What elements does a phrase contain and what role does each element play?A phrase usually contains the following elements: head, specifier and complement. Sometimes it also contains another kind of element termed modifier.The role of each elementHead:Head is the word around which a phrase is formed.Specifier:Specifier has both special semantic and syntactic roles. Semantically, it helps to make more precise the meaning of the head. Syntactically, it typically marks a phrase boundary.Complement:Complements are themselves phrases and provide information about entities and locations whose existence is implied by the meaning of the head.Modifier:Modifiers specify optionally expressible properties of the heads.6. What is deep structure and what is surface structure?There are two levels of syntactic structure. The first, formed by the XP rule in accordance with the head's subcategorization properties, is called deep structure (orD-structure). The second, corresponding to the final syntacticform of the sentence which results from appropriate transformations, is called surface structure (or S-structure).7. Indicate the category of each word in the following sentences.a) The old lady got off the bus carefully.Det A N V P Det N Advb) The car suddenly crashed onto the river bank.Det N Adv V P Det Nc) The blinding snowstorm might delay the opening of the schools.Det A N Aux V Det N P Det Nd) This cloth feels quite soft.Det N V Deg A(以下8-12题只作初步的的成分划分,未画树形图, 仅供参考)8.

(surface structure)you would come tomorrow (deep structure)b) What did Helen bring to the party? (surface structure)Helen brought what to the party (deep structure)c) Who broke the window? (surface structure)who broke the window (deep structure)Chapter 5 Semantics1. What are the major views concerning the study of meaning?答:(1) The naming theory proposed by the ancient Greek scholar Plato. According to this theory, the linguistic forms or symbols, in other words, the words used ina language are simply labels of the objects they stand for. So words are justnames or labels for things.(2) The conceptualist view has been held by some philosophers and linguistsfrom ancient times. This view holds that there is no direct link between alinguistic form and what it refers to (i. e., between language and the realworld); rather, in the interpretation of meaning they are linked through themediation of concepts in the mind.(3) The contextualist view held that meaning should be studied in terms ofsituation, use, context ––elements closely linked with language behaviour.The representative of this approach was J.R. Firth, famousBritish linguist.(4) Behaviorists attempted to define the meaning of a language form as the“situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls forth in thehearer.”This theory, somewhat close to contextualism, is linked withpsychological interest.2. What are the major types of synonyms in English?答:The major types of synonyms are dialectal synonyms, stylistic synonyms, emotive or evaluative synonyms, collocational synonyms, and semantically different synonyms.Examples(略)3. Explain with examples “homonymy”, “polysemy”, and “hyponymy”.答:(1) Homonymy refers to the phenomenon that words having different meanings have the same form, i.e., different words are identical in sound or spelling, or in both.When two words are identical in sound, they are homophones.When two words are identical in spelling, they are homographs.When two words are identical in both sound and spelling, they are complete homonyms(2) While different words may have the same or similar meaning, the same oneword may have more than one meaning. This is what we call polysemy, and such a word is called a polysemic word. There are many polysemic words in English, The fact is the more commonly used a word is, the more likely it has acquired more than one。

31Le voleur et Balzac小偷与巴尔扎克Je me rappelle toujours les anecdotes de grands auteurs que mon grand-père m'a racontée dans mon enfance. En voici une:Une nuit, un voleur est entré dans la maison de Balzac qui avait l'habitude de se coucher très tard et de ne pas fermer la porte.Cette nuit-là, Balzac était déjà au lit et semblait dormir profondément. Le voleur a cherché à ouvrir le bureau. Mais tout à coup, il a été interrompu par un gros rire. Il a vu Balzac qui riait de tout son cœur. Très effrayé, le voleur n'a pas; pu s'empêcher de lui demander:— Pourquoi donc riez-vous?—Je ris, lui a répondu l'auteurs, parce que vous venez la nuit, sans lumière, chercher de l'argent dans un bureau où, moi, je n'ai jamais pu en trouver en plein jour.我一直记得童年时祖父给我讲述的那些有关大文豪们的故事。

Without really understanding it, these two businessmen had discovered a previously untapped market: the “mush” market. People just loved their cards. They loved even messages in them. Who cared if they were sloppy and sentimental? Who cared if the verses were childishly simple? The important thing was that they expressed feelings in a way which the sender could understand. It was great to have someone else write a nice little poem for you and put it on a pretty card. After all, we can’t all be poets or artists. This simple idea soon made Hallmark into a billion-dollar business. The company is now the world’s leading manufacturer of greeting cards.

Week 01 简明翻译教程翻译的定义:翻译是许多语言活动中的一种,它是用一种语言形式把另一种语言形式里的内容重新表现出来的语言实践活动。
这一活动分为口头与书面两种。
(Interpretation and translation)有时在不同国家的不同语言之间进行,有时在同一国家的不同民族或不同区域的语言之间进行,但这种实践活动更多的应用于前者。
翻译是一门艺术,是语言艺术的再创作。
一篇译文在定稿之前,一般都要经过许多次修改,才能达到较高的水平。
一部名著经常会有树种译本并存。
一个译本的反复修改,同一原著的各有千秋的不同译本,都体现了翻译的艺术性。
如果说把写作比成自由舞蹈,翻译就是带着手铐脚链在跳舞,而且还要跳得优美。
因为原著的创作不受语言形式的限制,而翻译既要考虑到对原著的忠实,又要按照译文的语言规则来表达原文的意思。
从这个意义上来将,翻译并不比创作容易,有时甚至更难。
翻译的目的:世界语言繁多,导致了翻译的必要性。
我们翻译课的开设,其目的就是在掌握汉语和英语这两种语言的基础上,结合不断的翻译实践,学习翻译中的各种技巧,提高翻译水平。
通过翻译,对已经掌握的听、说、读、写的能力可以进行一次全方位的检验,找出漏洞,弥补不足,并使这些能力在综合运用中得到巩固和提高。
学习英语的主要目的是搞翻译,而翻译又可以反过来进一步促进英语学习。
翻译的标准:早在汉朝和唐朝,就有“文”与“质”之争。
文就是强调翻译的修辞和通顺,可读性。
质强调翻译的不增不减,忠实性。
体现了意译和直译之争,但有片面性。
1898年,严复(《天演论》)提出的“信”、“达”、“雅”,即忠实原文、文字典雅。
(适合部分文学作品)1951年,傅雷提出文学翻译应该“传神”论,“以效果而论,翻译应当像临画一样,所求的不在形似而在神似。

他们没有钱但是他们想旅行。
所以找到一位乐于助人的司机他们会很高兴的。
但是。
拦车搭乘对搭车人和开车人都是具有危险的。
下面这个故事发生在Albert 身上,乐于助人的司机之一。
@Albert 经常去南方,他经常会停下来来载一个或两个搭乘人。
他经常和他们交谈,时间对他来说似乎不那么长了。
@有一次,刚出里昂城,他察觉到有两个修女在向他招手示意。
一些修女,他可不能把他们孤零零的丢在公路上不管。
他让两位修女上了他的车。
他尝试着跟他们说话。
她们几乎一个词也不说,而且她们的嗓音非常的粗。
这非常奇怪。
Albert曾在报纸上看到一家银行被两位匪徒抢劫几天前。
(时态)这些匪徒,他想,可能穿着修女的衣服,坐在后面的两个可能就是他们。
(强调句型)所以Albert很害怕,一会儿后,他在一家旅馆前停下来了,向两位拦车搭乘者解释道他不再往前继续走了。
两人匆忙走了,连谢谢也没说。
@晚饭后,收音机广播:刚刚逮捕了抢劫人民银行的人。
劫匪曾穿着劫匪的服装,并经常拦车搭乘。
对他们来说不幸的是,他们拦了一辆警车,一位警察认出了他们:这两位修女穿着男人的大鞋。
啊,幸好,Albert侥幸脱险。
第32课拿破仑的午餐@拿破仑在当上法国皇帝之后,仍喜欢私访巴黎。
一天,他决定到旺多姆广场看看圆柱建造工程的进展情况,他让人用从奥斯特利茨战役中缴获的大炮铸成圆柱。
@在参观后,拿破仑饿了想吃午饭了。
在迪罗克元帅的陪同下,他走进了一家餐馆,点了一些羊排,一份炒鸡蛋,一些酒和咖啡。
这顿饭非常不错。
当服务生拿来账单时,迪罗克元帅意识到他忘了带皮夹,身上没有钱。
至于拿破仑,他从来都是不带钱的。
元帅向老板娘解释当时的情况:我们是禁卫军的军官,他说,我们有钱的,但今天我们忘带钱包了。
不幸的是,老板娘不相信他,并要求立刻交钱。
情况变得很令人尴尬。
此时,服务生向老板娘提出由他代两位军官付款。
他不是很富有,但是他相信迪罗克的解释。

4.1翻译的标准P31 The term "standard of translation" in fact covers two aspects: the principle of translation and the criterion of translation.术语“翻译标准”实际上包括两个方面:翻译与翻译标准的原则。
While the former guides the translator’s practice, the latter lays emphasis on readers’ or critics’ evaluation of the translated text.虽然以前的指南翻译的实践,后者强调读者和批评家的译文评价。
Thus the standard of translation functions as a plumb-line for measuring the professional level of translation and as a goal set for translators to strive after, though in most cases it is interchangeable with the so-called principle and criterion because of the identity of the ultimate pursuit: what on earth constitutes excellence in translation?因此,翻译标准作为铅垂线测量翻译的专业水平和作为一组译者努力追求的目标,虽然在大多数情况下,它可以用所谓的原则与标准由于其终极追求的身份:究竟什么是卓越的翻译?4.1.1严复关于翻译标准的论断P31 Translation has to do three difficult things: to be faithful, expressive and elegant. 译者三难,信、达、雅。

4.1.1严复关于翻译标准的论断
译者三难,信、达、雅。
求其信,已大难矣!顾信矣,不达,虽译,犹不译也,则达尚焉。
易曰:“修辞三诚”。
子曰:“辞达而已!”又曰:“言之无文,行之不远。
”三者乃文章正轨,亦即为译事楷模。
故信达而外,求其尔雅。
Chapter 7
Translationese in English-Chinese Translation 语言是我们进行社会生活的主要手段。
一个国家(地区)的语言通过特有的词汇、句法、俗语和思维模式与其他国家(地区)的语言区别开来。
如果译者不能摆脱原语的影响或只是错误地认为与原语形式上最接近的译文便是忠实于原文的,那么有时就会直接把原来的语言形式移植到目的语中,因此这种杂合语言的特点是它在目的语中可接受程度差,这就是翻译腔。
7.1 翻译腔:一种风格或一种综合征
一些学者倾向于将翻译腔看作是一种文体,并且认为“翻译读起来应该像翻译”。
奈达注意到了这种趋势并写道:在大量的翻译书和半文学资料的影响下,翻译腔出现在了世界上的许多地方。
这一语言形式常常被接受,尤其被教育性报刊认为是在外语中首次被表达出来
的交流材料唯一可能的媒介。
由于学者不得不经常阅读大量的这种材料逐渐地将它当作一种文学的标准。
而没有意识到这种平庸和虚假的语言形式没有恰当地处理接受语中丰富的资源。
尽管翻译腔尤其被全国性期刊所接受,但由于其晦涩难懂在大多数读者看来,它实际上是一种病症。
带有轻微翻译腔的译文听起来蹩脚不流畅,有严重翻译腔的译文会使译文表意不明和出现累赘,以至于读者不能正确理解文意。
7.2 一般来说,在英汉翻译中有两个原因导致翻译腔:错误的理解原文和汉语句式结构的欧化。
7.2.1 词意和翻译腔
翻译旨在翻译原文信息。
做不到这点本质上有违作为译者的义务。
由于词意是原文信息的内容,所以翻译过程中要优先考虑词意。
当译者没有理解原文的语境意义或者只是简单地照搬词典上的意思,则翻译腔就会频繁出现。
7.2.2 句子结构与翻译腔
在20世纪早期汉语发展和汉语方言的广泛传播中翻译发挥着重要的作用。
现代翻译对汉语的影响主要来自于直译,给我国带来了新的表达方式的同时也带来了欧式语句结构。
总所周知,英语和汉语在句法、修辞方面有很大的差异,欧式句子结构经常导致翻译腔和对汉
语产生不利的影响。
7.3可能的解决方法
不必说,翻译腔是影响英汉翻译好坏的主要因素,基于以上分析,我们总结了一些解决方法。
7.3.1 避免死板的通信形式
尽管任何从事翻译工作的人明显知道字面信件的误导性,但还是会出现错误,因为译者没有完全意识到逐字翻译的荒谬。
严格按照死板的通信格式而出现的翻译腔无疑是翻译过程中出现最多的,尽管不是最严重的错误。
任何逐字翻译成其他语言的人不得不记住大量的词汇和句法方面的离奇搭配。
当然,有时这些搭配一点意义也没有,而有时他们给出的恰恰是错误的含义。
7.3.2 把握调整的技术
正如前面章节所讨论的,翻译是一个完整的体系,包括基本理论、特定的原则、具体的技术和技巧。
这绝不是那些懂点外语和仅仅依靠字典的人所能胜任的工作。
常用的翻译方法如:增删改,目的不是为了修改原语的信息,而是有助于用某种不同的,最为全面、准确的形式再现原语的信息,衡量是否忠于原文(准确性)的标准不应该主要是准确性,而应该是以没有误解翻译者意欲表达的内容为标准。
事实上,有两种情况需要大幅修改:(a)当形式上接近等价但完全无意义
时;(b)当表达了错误的意思时。
7.3.3 彻底的理解原文
消除翻译腔的最后一种方法是透彻的理解原文。
我们总认为译者至少要具备双语素养,但这远远不够,要想成为一名合格的译者还需具备双文化素养,以明字里行间之意。
译者必须能够察觉到哪些是作者有意隐含的和哪些应该在译文中含蓄表达。
透彻理解原文是为目标语中流畅表达铺平了道路,因此,这样减少了翻译腔的出现。
Chapter 8
Chinglish in Chinese-English Translation
翻译过程中经常会出现两种趋势。
一种是一味地追求顺畅和辞藻华丽而不顾原文的真正意思;另一种是严格的忠于原文的翻译,致使译文晦涩难懂。
与翻译腔相对应的中式英语是指一种畸形的杂合语,既不像英语也不像汉语,而更可能称为中文特色的英语。
早在20世纪中期,中式英语被贬称为中国沙家浜,中式英语是影响汉英翻译质量的主要问题。
8.1 中式英语的主要原因
8.1.1母语的干扰
显然,中式英语产生的原因之一是受个人母语的语言干扰,母语的干扰常常会给学习外语过程中的人造成干扰。
当以汉语为母语的成
年人学习时,他们往往忽视两种语言的显著差异,并且,用汉语的模式写英语,结果,中式英语造成了汉译英(过程中)的混乱,中式英语是用汉语的思维表达英语是不合文法和习惯的蹩脚混合语言。
8.1.2.2 不自然的语句
汉语和英语是截然不同的语言。
为了消除中式英语,我们应该敏锐地觉察到英语和汉语在语法结构和词语搭配方面的不同。
8.2 问题可能的解决方法:
尽管一些学者宣称一定的中式英语是英语学习过程中不可避免的。
但是我们也应该意识到对于在大学和学院的英语学习者被教授汉译英作为目标语时,这(中式英语)是不可容忍的。
8.2.4 (P182)
