省略法
∙英译汉翻译技巧∙省略法∙首先请试译下面的句子：∙Dr. John resumed his experiment as soon as he came into the laboratory.∙译文一：约翰博士一到实验室，他就继续做实验。
∙译文二：约翰博士一到实验室就继续做实验。
∙译文一将主从句的主语都译出，貌似“忠实”，但产生歧义，可能让人以为“他”和”约翰博士”是两个人。
∙省略法（omission），是指在翻译中，原文中有些词在译文中可以省略，不必翻译出来。
因为译文(汉语)中虽然没有这个词，但是已经具有了原文这个词所表达的意思，或者这个词在译文中的意义是不言而喻的。
省略的目的在于使译文更加通顺流畅，更符合译文习惯（idiomatic）。
一般地说，英译汉并不随便删减词语，但汉语有其简洁的特点，如果过分强调表达一切，把每一个词都译出，反而因为保全了一些次要部分而破坏了整体，即所谓因小失大。
因此，只有敢于牺牲一些不影响原意的词句，才能更好地突出重点。
∙Definition∙By omission we mean we properly omit some words or expressions in order to make the translated version brief, concise and clear. Proper omission in English-Chinese translation often involves the omitting of some words (such as prepositions, articles, certain pronouns, conjunctions, etc.) that are indispensable in the SL text but not in the TL text.∙Omission is based on the differences between English and Chinese. For example, Chinese has no articles or infinitive markers. And pronouns, conjunctions, and prepositions are not used as frequently as those of English. So when we translate English sentences with articles and infinitive markers into Chinese, we often omit these articles or infinitive markers.∙Principles1. Omission should be aimed at smoothness and conciseness or succinctness.2. Omission does not go against ‘faithfulness’. Omission does not mean subtracting meanings from the original work.3. What is omitted may not be necessarily confined to certain parts of speech, as the traditionalists often say. Any parts of speech may be liable to be omitted depending upon the context and the translator’s translation techniques.∙一个认真负责的译者往往不仅善于保全，而且也善于牺牲。

Under the leadership of the Party, the Chinese people have succeeded in their liberation.
2)她的朋友们听说她家中的困难情况后，都主动伸出了援助 之手。
What is the significance of life? Is there any criterion for its measurement? Difficult as it is to advance an absolute one, it will not be so to judge the very meaning of one’s existence generally from whether he is serious about life and what his attitudes are towards work and life.
Wherever they went, the bandit troops massacred and raped, burned and looted, and stopped at nothing.
请将下面一段话译成英语
一个人的生命究竟有多大意义，这有什么标准可以衡量吗？ 提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难；但是，大体上看一个人 对待生命的态度是否严肃认真，看他对待劳动、工作等等 的态度如何，也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估 计了。
5)Some have entered college and others have gone to the countryside.
上大学的上大学， 下乡的下乡。

英语翻译之省略法
⑸省译动词
• ①谓语动词的省译。 • 谓语动词，是英语句中必不可少的成分。 汉语则不然，句中可以没有动词而直接用 形容词、名词或词组作谓语。所以，有些 英语谓语动词汉译时可以不译出，句子反 而更为通顺有力。（了解汉语这个特点， 汉译英时，可把某些汉语中的形容词、名 词或词组译成动词。）
ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ
• 例 ： The charged capacitor behaves as a secondary battery. • 充了电的电容器，就像一个蓄电池一样。 • Friction always opposes the motion whatever its direction may be. • 不管运动方向怎样，摩擦力总是同运动方向相反。
• He declined to amplify on the President’s statement, since he had not read the text. • 他没有看到总统讲话的文本,不愿意加以发挥. • If I had known it,I would not have joined in it.早知 如此,我就不参加了。 • John rose gloomily as the train stopped, for he was thinking of his ailing mother. • 火车停了,John 郁郁地站了起来,因为他想起了病 中的母亲.
• 表示原因、条件、时间等的连词，常省译。 • 例：As the temperature increase, the volume of water becomes greater. • 温度增高，水的体积就增大。 • Wise men love truth, whereas fools shun it. • 智者爱好真理，愚者躲避真理。 • The average speed of all molecules remains the same, as long as the temperature is constant. • 温度不变，所有分子的平均速度也就不变。
省略法翻译技巧
省略法翻译技巧省略法翻译技巧 省略法的⽬的在于使译⽂更加通顺流畅，更符合译⽂习惯，但是⼤家要注意的是，省略并不是把原⽂的某些思想内容删去，省略不能改变原⽂的意义，下⾯就和⼩编⼀起来看看详细⽅法吧! ⼀、从语法⾓度来看 (⼀)省代词 1.省略作主语的⼈称代词 (1)省略作主语的⼈称代词 根据汉语习惯，前句出现⼀个主语，后句如仍为同⼀主语，就不必重复出现。
英语中通常每句都有主语，因此⼈称代词作主语往往多次出现，这种⼈称代词汉译时常常可以省略。
I had many wonderful ideas, but I only put a few into practice. 我有很多美妙的想法，但是只把少数付诸实践了。
(2)英语中，泛指⼈称代词作主语时，即使是作第⼀个主语，在汉语译⽂中往往也可以省略。
We live and learn. 活到⽼，学到⽼。
When will he arrive?—You can never tell. 他什么时候到?——说不准。
The significance of a man is not in what he attained but rather in what he longs to attain. ⼈⽣的意义不在于已经获取的，⽽在于渴望得到什么样的东西。
2.省略作宾语的代词 英语中有些作宾语的代词，不管前⾯是否提到过，翻译时往往可以省略。
Please take off the old picture and throw it away. 请把那张旧画取下来扔掉。
3.省略物主代词 英语句⼦中的物主代词出现的频率相当⾼。
⼀个句⼦往往会出现好⼏个物主代词，如果将每个物主代词都翻译出来，那么汉语译⽂就显得⾮常罗嗦。
所以在没有其他⼈称的物主代词出现的情况下，在翻译时物主代词⼤多被省略。
I put my hand into my pocket. 我把⼿放进⼝袋。

第三节省略法省略法(Omisssion)，是指不译出原文中的某些词。
正如增词法不是随意增加原文的意思一样，省略法也不是要删去原文的意思，而是省去那些在译文中不言而喻的字词，或省去那些译出来反嫌累赘或不合汉语习惯的词语。
一般来说，省略有的是出于结构上的需要，有的是出于修辞上的需要。
现在分类举例说明。
一、英译汉时的结构性省略结构性省略，也称句法省略，主要是省略虚词，如代词，冠词，介词，连词等。
例如：•Follow the river and you will get to the sea.顺藤摸瓜。
(省略代词和冠词)•Let me tell you, time is a very precious gift of God; so precious that He only give it to us moment by moment. He would not have you waste it.让我来告诉你吧，时间是上帝赐予的极其珍贵的礼物。
惟其珍贵，他才一点一点地赐予。
他不愿让你白白浪费。
(省略代词，冠词和介词) •In my childhood, I experienced a great deal about poverty and suffering.童年时代我就体味了贫穷和苦难(省略介词和代词)•We live and learn.活到老，学到老(省略代词)•It is a good horse that never stumbles.好马也有失蹄时。
(或：智者千虑，必有一失)(省略代词)•If winter comes, can spring be far behind?冬天来了，春天还会远吗?(省略连词if)从以上例子可以看出，翻译时虚词的省略可使译文显得简洁，洗练，也符合汉语“形合”的特点。

正反反正译法
英语和汉语均有从正面或反面来表达一种概念的现象。 翻译时，英语里有些从正面表达的词或句子，译文中可 从反面来表达；英语里有些从反面表达的词或句子，译 文中又可从正面来表达。 He knew he was mortally ill. 他知道他得的是不治之症。 This would cover my absence from the scene. 这就为我不在现场提供了合法外衣。
1.然而争取男女平等的过程仍然是一项未竟之业。
2.你已经恶贯满盈了。 3.什么都瞒不过我。 4.彼得的拥护者相信他的荣誉不会被这些流言蜚语抹煞 掉。

What do we mean by omission of words?
❖ This translation technique means that some words in the original are left out in the version because though they are not contained in the version, their meaning is implied or obvious enough in it. In other words, omission means omission of some words that are found in the original but need not necessarily be retained in the version, or omission of some words that are needed in the original but found superfluous if they are kept in the version.
