Thetheoryandpracticeoftranslation奈达的翻译理论与实践The theory and practice of translationEugene A. Nida and Charles R. Taber 1974Contents1.A new concept of translation2.The nature of translating3.Grammatical analysis4.Referential meaning5.Connotative meaning6.Transfer7.Restructuring8.Testing the translationChapter One The old focus and the new focusThe older focus in translating was the form of the message, and the translator too particular delight in being able to reproduce stylistic specialties, ., rhythms, rhymes, plays on words, chiasmus, parallelism, and usual grammatical structures. The new focus, however, has shifted from teh form of the message to the response of the receptor. Therefore, what one must determine is the response of the receptor to te translated message, this response must be compared with the way in which the original receptors presumably reacted to the message when it was given in its original setting.Chapter Two Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source-language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style. But this relatively simple statement requires careful evaluation of several seeminglycontradictory elements.Reproducing the messageTranslating must aim primarily at “reproducing the message.” To do anything else is essentially false to one’s task as a translator. But to reproduce the message one must make a good many grammatical and lexical adjustments. Equivalence rather than identityThe translator must strive for the equivalence rather than identity. In a sense, this is just another way of emphasizing the reproduction of the message rather than the conversation of the form of the utterance, but it reinforces the need for radical alteration of a phrase, which may be quiet meaningless.A natural equivalentThe best translation does not sound like a translation. In other words, a good translation of the Bible must not be “cultural translation”. Rather, it is a “linguistic translation”. That is to say, it should studiously avoid “translationese”--formal fidelity, with resulting unfaithfulness to the content and the impact of the message.The priority of meaningAs has already been indicted in the definition of translating, meaning must be given priority, for it os the content of the message which is of prime importance for Bible translating.The significance of styleThough style is secondary to content, it is nevertheless important, one should not translate poetry as though it were prose, nor expository material as though it were straight narrative.In trying to reproduce the style of the original one must beware, however, of producing something which is not functionally equivalent.A system of prioritiesAs a a basis for judging what should be done in specific instances of translating, it is essential to establish certain fundamental sets of priorities: (1) contextual consistency has priority over verbal consistency ( or word-for-word concordance), (2) dynamic equivalence has priority over formal correspondence, (3) the aural form of language has priority over the written form, (4) forms that are used by and acceptable to the audience for which a translation is intended have priority over forms that may be traditionally more perspectives.The priority of dynamic equivalence over formal correspondenceIf we look at the translations in terms of the receptors, rather than in terms of their respective forms, then we introduce another point of view; the intelligibility of the translation. Such intelligibility is not, however, to be measured merely in terms of whether the words are understandable, and the sentences grammatically constructed, but in terms of the total impact, the message has on the one who receives it.Dynamic equivalence is therefore to be defined in terms of the degree to which the receptors of the message in the receptor language respond to it in substantially the same manner as the receptor in the sourcelanguage. This response can never be identical, fro the culture and historical settings are too different, but there should be a high degree of equivalence of response, or the translation will have failed to accomplish its purpose.It would be wrong to think, however, that the response of the receptors in the second language is merely in terms of comprehension of the information, for communication is not merely informative. It must also be expressive and imperative if it is to serve the principal purposes of communications.Of course, persons may insist that by its very nature a dynamic equivalent translation is a less “accurate” translation, for it departs further from the forms of the original. To argue in this manner, however, is to use “accurate”in a formal sense, whereas accuracy can only be rightly determined by judging the extent to which the response of the receptor is substantially equivalent to the respond of the original receptors. In other words, does the dynamic equivalent translation succeed more completely in evoking in the receptors responses which are substantially equivalent to those experienced by the original receptors If “accuracy”is to be judged in this light, then certainly the dynamic equivalent translation is not only moe meaningful to the receptors but also more accurate. This assumes, of course, that both the formal correspondence translation and the dynamic equivalent translation do not contain any overt errors of exegesis.Grammatical analysisThere are three major steps in analysis: (1) determining the mining themeaningful relationships between the words and combinations of words, (2) the referential meaning of the words and special combinations of words, idioms, (3) the connotative meaning.Kernel sentencesWe soon discover that we have simply recast the expressions so that events are expressed as verbs, objects as nouns, abstracts (quantities and qualities) as adjectives or adverbs. The only other terms are relationals, ., the prepositions and conjunctions.These restructures expressions are basically what many linguistics call “kernels”; that is to say, they are the basic structural elements out of which the language builds its elaborate surface structures. In fact, one of the most important insights coming from “transformational grammar” is the fact that in all languages there are half a dozen to a dozen basic structures out of which all the more elaborate formations are constructed by means of so called “transformations”. In contrast, back transformation, then, is the analytic process of reducing the surface structure to its underlying kernels.Semantic adjustments made in transferIn transferring the message from one language to another, it is the content which must be preserved at any cost; the form, except in special cases, such as poetry, is largely secondary, since within each language, the rules for relating content to form are highly complex, arbitrary, and variable.Of course, if by coincidence it is possible to convey the same contentin the receptor language in a form which closely resembles that of the source, so much the better; we preserve the form when we can, but more than the form has to be transformed precisely in order to preserve the content. An expressive effort topreserve the form inevitably results in a serious loss or distortion of the message.Obviously in any translation there will be a type of “loss”of semantic content, but the process should be so designed as to keep this to a minimum. The commonest problems of the content transfer arise in the following areas: (1) idioms, (2) figurative meanings, (3) shifts in central components of meaning, (4) generic and specific meanings, (5) pleonastic expressions, (6) special formulas, (7) redistribution of semantic components, (8) provision for contextual conditioning.(8)In other instances one may find it important to employ a descriptive phrase so as to provide some basis for comprehending the significance of the original.It must be further emphasized that one is not free to make in the text any and all kinds of explanatory additions and/or expansions.Testing the translationOnce the process of restructuring has been completed, the next essential step is th e testing of the translation. This should cover the entire range of possible problems: accuracy of rendering, intelligibility, stylistic equivalence, etc. But to do this, one must focus attention not upon the extent of verbal correspondence but upon the amount of dynamic equivalence. This does not mean, of course, that the translation isjudged merely on the extent to which people like the contents. Some people may object strongly to the themes and the concepts which are communicated, but there should not be anything in the translation itself which is stylistically awkward, structurally burdensome, linguistically unnatural, and semantically misleading or incomprehensible, unless, of course, the message in the source language has these characteristics ( the task of the translator is to produce the closest natural equivalent, not to edit or to rewrite). But to judge these qualities one must look to the potential users.The problem of overall lengthIt only means that in the process of transfer from one linguistic and cultural structure to another, it is almost inevitable that the resulting translation will turn out to be longer.This tendency to greater length is due essentially to the fact that one wishes to state everything that is in the original communication but is also obliged to amke explicit in the receptor language what could very well remain implicit in the source language text, since te original receivers of this communication presumably had all the necessary background to understand the contents of the message.He analyzes its components builds in proper redundancy by making explicit what is implicit in the original, and then produces something the readers in the receptor language will be able to understand.Types of expansionsThe expansions may perhaps be most conveniently divided between syntactic(or formal) expansions and lexical (or semantic) ones.Lexical expansions in marginal helpsIn making explicit what is fully implicit in the original translation, one can ofter insert material in the text itself without imposing undue strains upon the process of translation.Such information may only be part of the general cultural background shared by the participants in the source language. This type of information cannot be legitimately introduced into the text of a translation, but should be placed in marginal helps, either in the form of glossaries, where information about recurring terms is gathered together in summary fashion, or in marginal notes on the page where the difficulty in understanding occurs.Practical textsTherefore, if a translator really wants to obtain satisfactory replies to direct questions on specific problems, the only way to do so is by supplying people with alternatives. This means that one must read a sentence in two or more ways, ofter repeating such alternatives slowly (and , of course, in context). And then ask such questions as: “which way sounds thesweetest”“which is planner”...Explaining the contentsA secondary very important way of testing a translation is to have someone read a passage to someone else and then to get this individual to explain the contents to other persons, who did not hear the reading.Reading the text aloudPublication of sample materialThe ultimate basis for judging a translation。

你买点什么翻译英语作文
你买点什么翻译英语作文Title: What to Buy: Exploring the Art of Translation。
In the realm of translation, the choices one makes can significantly impact the final outcome. From selecting the right words to capturing the essence of the original text, each decision shapes the journey from one language to another. So, when faced with the question, "What to buy?" in the context of translation, the considerations are vast and nuanced.Firstly, investing in language resources is paramount. High-quality dictionaries, both bilingual and monolingual, serve as the bedrock of translation. They provide not only translations of words but also nuanced meanings, idiomatic expressions, and cultural insights. Online platforms like Oxford Languages and Cambridge Dictionary offer comprehensive resources for various languages, aiding translators in their quest for precision and fluency.Additionally, acquiring specialized glossaries and terminology databases can elevate the quality of technical translations. In fields such as medicine, law, and engineering, accuracy is non-negotiable. Therefore, purchasing access to industry-specific terminologyresources ensures that translations meet professional standards and effectively communicate complex concepts across language barriers.Furthermore, subscribing to translation software and tools can streamline the translation process and enhance productivity. Programs like SDL Trados and MemoQ offer features such as translation memory, terminology management, and machine translation integration. While human expertise remains irreplaceable in translation, these tools serve as invaluable aids, especially for large-scale projects and repetitive texts.Investing in language courses and professional development opportunities is another wise purchase for translators. Continuous learning not only improveslinguistic proficiency but also deepens culturalunderstanding and expands subject matter expertise. Workshops, seminars, and online courses conducted by reputable institutions and industry experts provide valuable insights into translation theory, practice, and emerging trends.Moreover, building a personal library of translated works and reference materials can enrich one's translation practice. Studying translations by renowned translators offers valuable lessons in style, tone, and creative adaptation. Additionally, reference books on translation theory and practice, such as "The Translator's Handbook" by Morry Sofer and "Translation Studies" by Susan Bassnett, provide theoretical frameworks and practical guidance for aspiring translators.In the digital age, investing in an ergonomic workstation equipped with high-speed internet, dual monitors, and ergonomic furniture is essential for translators. A comfortable and efficient workspace minimizes distractions and maximizes productivity, allowing translators to focus their energy on the intricacies oflanguage and meaning.Lastly, networking and collaboration are invaluable investments for translators. Joining professional associations like the American Translators Association (ATA) or the International Federation of Translators (FIT) provides access to a supportive community of fellow translators, mentors, and potential clients. Collaborating with other linguists on projects fosters mutual learningand growth, expanding one's skill set and professional network.In conclusion, the art of translation encompasses a myriad of choices and investments. From language resources and software tools to professional development and networking, each purchase contributes to the translator's journey towards excellence. By carefully selecting and investing in the right resources, translators can navigate the complexities of language and culture with confidenceand precision, enriching the world with the beauty of multilingual communication.。
对thetheoryandpracticeoftranslation书中翻译理论的理解概括
对The Theory and Practice of Translation书中翻译理论的理解概括尤金・奈达是美国当代著名的语言学家、翻译家,也是西方语言学派翻译理论的主要代表之一,他发展了英国著名翻译理论家纽马克提出的交际翻译理论。
交际法的翻译理论不仅照顾到语言意义的传递,也考虑到功能的对应,解决了原来的翻译理论从语言本身解决不了的问题。
上世纪80年代初,奈达的翻译理论传到中国并备受推崇。
奈达的翻译理论使我国大多数翻译工作者开始接触西方系统的翻译理论,对中国的翻译理论研究影响非常大,以致在当时中国的翻译界形成了言必称奈达的局面。
80年代末90年代初,对奈达的翻译理论的质颖之声开始出现,90年代中期以后,进而出现了“言必称奈达理论之缺陷”的风潮,大有对其全盘否定之势。
近几年,译界开始了对奈达的翻译理论的冷静反思。
在中国翻译界舆有巨大影响力的翻译理论除了严复的“信、达、雅”外,想必就是奈达的理论r。

Translation Studies in Theory and PracticeThesis: After half-year study of translation, I have grabbed comprehensive knowledge in this field, which has greatly changed my previous attitude, now I realized that translation is not a simple work every English learner could undertake. In this paper, I demonstrate my understanding towards translation that I have learned from many relative resources, not only my knowledge of translation, but also the translation skills cultivated by those resources. The main purpose is to demonstrate the application of these learning resources to my study and to analyze my understanding of translation by learning these resources.I. Introduction (300w)Good theory is based on information gained from practice. Good practice is based on carefully worked-out theory. The two are interdependent. This perfectly reflects the relationship between translation theory and translation practice.The ideal translation will be accurate as to meaning and natural as to the target language forms used. The reader who is unfamiliar with the source text will understand it well. The success of a translation is measured by how closely you translate to the measurement.The ideal translation should be:1: Accurate: reproducing as exactly as possible the meaning of the source text.2 Natural: using natural forms of the receptor language in a way that is appropriate to the kind of text being translated.3 Communicative: expressing all aspects of the meaning in a way that is readily understandable to the intended audience.Translation is a process based on the theory that it is possible to abstract the meaning of a text from its forms and reproduce that meaning with the very different forms of a second language.Translation, then, consists of studying the lexicon, grammatical structure, communication situation, and cultural context of the source language text, analyzing it in order to determine its meaning, and then reconstructing this same meaning using the lexicon and grammatical structure which are appropriate in the receptor language and its cultural context.In practice, there is considerable variation in the types of translations produced by translators. Some translators work only in two languages and are competent in both. Others work from their first language to their second language, and still others from their second language to their first language.In the era of information explosion, everyone is faced up with a plethora of resources, from the most traditional media such as books, academic conferences, to the online dictionaries and onlinetranslation software. In this thesis, we will roughly study how these resources influence will be applied to improve our translation.II. The Application of the Translation Resources (800w)A.

translation theory and translation practice
翻译是人类沟通交流的重要方式之一,它的作用不仅仅是将一种语言文化转化为另一种,更是承载着跨越文化、促进交流、促进友谊的重要使命。
然而,要想做好翻译工作,必须具备扎实的翻译理论和熟练的翻译实践。
翻译理论是翻译工作者必须掌握的基础知识,它是对翻译过程的科学概括和归纳。
翻译理论研究包括翻译的本质、翻译的目的、翻译的原则、翻译的方法等内容。
熟练掌握这些理论知识,有助于翻译工作者更好地理解翻译的本质和翻译的目的,从而更好地选择翻译策略和方法。
翻译实践是翻译工作者将翻译理论应用到具体的翻译工作中的
过程。
翻译实践需要翻译工作者掌握的技能包括语言能力、文化素养、专业知识、翻译技巧等。
在翻译实践中,翻译工作者需要注意对原文的准确理解和对译文的质量把控,同时要遵循翻译的原则,如忠实原文、通顺流畅、得体准确等。
翻译理论和翻译实践是相辅相成的,两者缺一不可。
翻译理论可以为翻译实践提供指导和支持,而翻译实践也可以反过来检验和完善翻译理论。
只有在翻译理论和翻译实践的双重支撑下,翻译工作者才能够更好地应对翻译工作中的各种挑战。
在当今全球化的背景下,翻译工作的重要性日益凸显。
随着国际交流的频繁和多样化,翻译工作也越来越复杂和繁重。
因此,我们需要不断学习、不断提高自己的翻译理论和翻译实践水平,不断适应和
满足不同领域、不同层次的翻译需求,为促进人类沟通交流和文明融合做出更大的贡献。

评中文译本《翻译学导论——理论与实践》
- 238 -校园英语 / 【摘要】杰里米•芒迪的Introducing Translation Studies: Theories and Applications一书的中文译本《翻译学导论——理论与实践》由数位教授、博士合译,商务印书馆出版。
该译本对翻译理论的学习者不无帮助,但在具体的词语层面上存在不妥之处。
本文指出其中一些翻译问题,旨在引起译者们对同类问题的重视。
【关键词】《翻译学导论》 翻译问题一、引言杰里米•芒迪教授的Introducing Translation Studies: Theories and Applications 一书出版于2001年,按时间顺序介绍了自古罗马时期以来的主要翻译理论,每一章末尾有一个运用该章理论的翻译案例。
2010年上海外语教育出版社将其原文引进,书名译为《翻译研究入门:理论与应用》。
而早在2007年,商务印书馆已出版了其中文译本《翻译学导论——理论与实践》,旨在让中国读者了解西方翻译理论发展进程。
在封底上有这样的文字:“本书各章均由任教于各高等院校的翻译学教授及博士译成,译文准确忠实,并照顾到中文读者的研习需要,适量保留外文原文,俾便查考。
”“文本是翻译研究的对象与翻译批评活动中的价值客体”,赖斯也认为,译者在翻译过程中应依据原文的文本类型来选择相应的翻译策略,并建议将文本分类方法运用于翻译批评。
按照赖斯的理论,原文为以内容为重的文本,内容大于形式,因此准确地传达原文内容成为翻译的主要任务,准确地翻译术语更是重中之重。
笔者经仔细研读,认为译文的文本类型、目的与原文一致,然而难免在微观层面上有疏忽。
译文有的地方未能做到准确传达原文信息,难以称得上“准确忠实”。
王程辉认为,“可商榷的翻译各有各的误区,大致有三类:第一是译者功力,第二是常识逻辑,第三是各方合译。
”就本书而言,译者功力毋庸置疑,主要的问题存在于常识逻辑及各方合译,若将上述问题解决,译文将更加完善。
翻译的理论与实践英语作文
Translation,as a discipline,has always been a fascinating and complex field that intertwines linguistics,cultural studies,and communication theory.The practice of translation involves the transfer of meaning from one language to another,and the theory behind it seeks to understand and explain the processes,challenges,and strategies involved in this transfer.Theoretical Frameworks in Translation1.Equivalence Theory:This theory,proposed by Eugene Nida,emphasizes the importance of conveying the same effect on the target audience as the original text had on its source audience.It distinguishes between formal equivalence and dynamic or functional equivalence.2.Skopos Theory:Developed by Katharina Reiss and Hans J.Vermeer,this theory focuses on the purpose skopos of the translation.It argues that the translator should consider the intended use and audience of the translated text,which can influence the translation strategy.3.Cultural Translation:This approach,often associated with AndréLefevere and Susan Bassnett,considers the cultural context and the impact of cultural elements on the translation process.It highlights the need for cultural adaptation to make the translated text accessible and meaningful to the target culture.4.Deconstructionist Approach:Influenced by the philosophy of Jacques Derrida,this approach challenges the idea of a single,fixed meaning in a text.It suggests that translation is an interpretative act that can never fully capture the original texts meaning. Practical Aspects of Translation1.Linguistic Competence:A translator must have a deep understanding of both the source and target languages,including their grammar,syntax,and vocabulary.2.Cultural Sensitivity:The translator should be aware of cultural nuances and idioms to avoid misinterpretations and to ensure that the translation is culturally appropriate.3.Technical Proficiency:Depending on the field,a translator may need to understand technical terms and concepts to accurately translate specialized texts.4.Ethical Considerations:Translators must maintain a balance between fidelity to the original text and the need to adapt the text to suit the target audience and culture.e of Technology:Modern translation tools and software can assist in the translation process,but they cannot replace the nuanced understanding and judgment that a human translator provides.Challenges in Translation1.Ambiguity:Languages often contain ambiguous expressions that can have multiple meanings,making it difficult to determine the intended meaning in the source text.2.Idiomatic Expressions:Idioms and proverbs are particularly challenging to translate because they often do not have direct equivalents in other languages.3.Cultural References:References to specific cultural practices,historical events,or figures can be difficult to convey in a way that is meaningful to the target audience.nguage Variation:Even within a single language,there can be significant regional or dialectical variations that must be considered in the translation process.5.Subjectivity:The translators own background,experiences,and interpretations can influence the translation,leading to potential subjectivity in the final product.ConclusionTranslation is an art that requires not only linguistic skills but also an understanding of cultural contexts and the ability to navigate the complexities of meaning.Theoretical frameworks provide a foundation for understanding the translation process,while practical skills and strategies are essential for executing effective translations.As the field continues to evolve with technological advancements and increasing globalization, the role of the translator remains crucial in bridging linguistic and cultural gaps.。
the theory and practice of translation 1969
the theory and practice of translation 1969"The Theory and Practice of Translation" is a book written by Eugene A. Nida and Charles R. Taber, first published in 1969. This book is a foundational text in the field of translation studies and provides both theoretical frameworks and practical guidelines for translators.The book explores various aspects of translation, including the nature of language, cultural differences, and the role of the translator. It introduces the concept of dynamic equivalence, which suggests that a successful translation should convey the same meaning and impact as the original text, but in a different language and cultural context.Nida and Taber discuss the different translation techniques and strategies that can be employed, emphasizing the importance of understanding the source text and target audience. They address various challenges faced by translators, such as the need to navigate linguistic differences, idiomatic expressions, and cultural nuances.Additionally, the book delves into the role of translation in communication and cross-cultural understanding. It highlights the significance of translation in international diplomacy, religious literature, and scientific research."The Theory and Practice of Translation" has had a significant impact on the field of translation studies and has been widely used as a reference by scholars and practitioners alike. It provides valuable insights and practical tools for translators, encouragingthem to approach their work with deliberation and cultural sensitivity.。

Translation as Cross-cultural Communication
Language, in a sense, is part of culture as it often functions as the carrier and reflector of culture. Culture is the total accumulation of beliefs, customs, values, behaviors, institutions and communication patterns that are shared, learned and passed down through the generations in an identifiable group of people.

波斯盖特(J.P.Postgate)是英国翻译理 论家、造诣很深的古文学家。他精通古 希腊语、拉丁语和法语、德语等多种语 言,对翻译终生抱有兴趣,有五十年的 翻译实践经验。1922年,他出版了一本 专著,题为《译论与译文》 (Translation and Translations)。
(1)翻译分两类:“后观式翻译” (retrospective translation)和“前观 式翻译”(prospective translation)。 (2)译文效果应由学者判断。人们一般 都承认,翻译的目标是再现原文的真实 面貌。就是再现在译文中的原文印象, 也就是译文在译文读者身上所产生的印 象。

Course Plan Unit One Definition I.What is translation ?
Translation is a representation or recreation in one language of what is written or said in another language. Strictly speaking, Translation is an art. Like painting, translation enables us to reproduce the fine thought of somebody, not in colors, but in word, in words of a different language. It is no easy job, not so easy as it is supposed. Do not think that any one who knows a foreign language, say English, can invariably translate well. And this difficulty is greatly multiplied by the wide difference in vocabulary and sentence construction between the Oriental and Occidental languages.
德国、苏联也出现了一些卓有成就的翻译 理论家如沃尔特.本杰明(Walter Benjamin)(德)、科尔涅伊.丘科夫斯 基(苏)、伊凡.卡什金(苏)等。以上 翻译理论家都是从文学翻译的角度对翻译 理论进行探讨。所注重的是译文的文学性 和译文的选词造句等方面的问题,而不涉 及诸如翻译对民族语言的贡献、翻译与思 维的关系、各个民族语言之间的共性、决 定语言的可译性和不可译性的科学根据、 翻译目的和手段之间的关系以及翻译的科 学性和艺术性的关系等方面的问题。
二十世纪上半叶,在主要包括英美的英语 国家,翻译理论的研究更是活跃。其翻译 论著在数量上超出其他西方语种。1901 年,美国教授赫伯特 托尔曼(Herbet Cushing Tolman)撰写了一部题为《翻译 的艺术》(The Art of Translating)的专 著着重阐明两大观点: (1)必须以正确的方法理解原文。 (2)必须如实的反映原文的思想和风格。
Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning, and secondly in terms of style. --Eugene A. Nida and Taber The Theory and Practice of Translation 翻译就是译入语复制出原语信息最接近的 自然等值体, 首先就意义而言,其次就风格 而言.
(3)忠实性是衡量翻译成败的最高标 准。翻译中表达的主要矛盾是言语问题。 在言语形式上,译者首先应当关心的是 使译文合乎习惯;对于一篇中译文的要 求就是它必须是中文,而不是通篇的外 国腔。 (4)词汇分四类。第一类是完全相同的 词(常见于科技词汇)。第二类是不同的 词(翻译这类词只能靠借用外来词)。第 三类词是部分相等的词(这类词较多)。 第四类词是假同义词。

英国二十年代的另一位著名翻译理论家是 菲利莫尔(J.S.Philimore)。他发表了 《略谈翻译和译者》(Some Remarks on Translators)被认为是当时最好的英语翻 译论著,比同时代人的见解高出一筹。
翻译是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达 的思维内容准确而完整地表达出来的语言. 张培基《英汉翻译教程绪言》 Translation is an activity of reproducing in one language the ideas which have been expressed in another language. 翻译是从语义到文体在译入语中用最切近 而又最自然的对等语再现原语的信息. 谭载喜《奈达论翻译》

二十世纪初还有法国著名文学家瓦莱里(Paul Valery,1871-1945)和马鲁佐(J.Marouzeau)。 瓦莱里翻译了维吉尔的作品,对翻译理论也有自 己的主张。他用诗人的眼光看待翻译,强调译者 必须冲破原文形式,特别是原文句法结构的约束, 使译文同原文一样,具有强烈的音乐感、文学感。 马鲁佐在他的《论拉丁语翻译》中对翻译作了言 简意赅论述,该书充分体现了他对翻译具有丰富 的实践经验和深刻的理性认识,其观点为:(1) 翻译首先是一门技巧。要掌握它,主要靠丰富的 实践经验、坚实的语言知识和灵活的翻译方法。 (2)翻译不可不讲究译文清晰、生动、易懂, 以争取尽可能多的读者。

西方现代翻译理论
*传统时期的翻译理论 *新时期的翻译理论
*传统时期—在意大利,美学家、文学评论家克 罗齐(Benedetto Croce,1866-1952)在他的美 学名著《美学原理》(Estetica)中对翻译问题 提出一些精辟见解。他的观点是:(1)翻译不 可能完美地再现原著面貌。这是因为语言凭直觉 产生,语言行为按潜在的思维出现,并对思维加 以扩展和修改,因此,每一语言行为都是无先例 的、创新的。翻译的目的是为了解决言语不可重 复的矛盾,它受语言内在规律的支配,不可能达 到完美的地步。(2)翻译必须靠再创造。由于 完全相等于原作表达方式的翻译不可能存在,翻 译的结果不是比原作少一点,就是多一点。译文 不可能不带有译者风格的痕迹。
