【翻译笔记】《围城》英译选句—“大材小用原文:赵辛媚鉴赏着口里吐出来的烟圈道:―大材小用,可惜可惜!方先生在外国学的是什么呀?‖(钱钟书- 围城)翻译关键词:赞赏,烟(圈),大材小用译文:Admiring the smoke ring he had blown, Chao Hsin-mei said, ―A greattalent gone to waste. Such a pity! Such a pity! What did you study abroad, Mr. Fang?‖(美Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao <译> –Fortress Besieged)翻译笔记:赞赏虽然我们更常用admire来表示―钦佩;赞赏;仰慕‖,但这里的admire相当于―欣赏‖,即appreciate,其实这个用法也不见得新鲜,之所以拿出来讲,其实是想着重说说admire的用法。

话说偶常常发现有些童鞋很喜欢用admire接that引导从句,其实这样是错误的,admire后面接名词,但是不接that引导从句。

比如我们可以说I admireyour enthusiasm,却不可以说I admire that you are enthusiastic。

烟(圈)―烟圈‖译为smoke ring,smoke单独用时通常统指―烟‖,不指―一缕烟‖。

―一缕烟‖应该说成a cloud of smoke,不能说a smoke,因为a smoke指―一次吸烟‖或―用来驱虫的一次熏烟‖。

如:Clouds of thick black smoke billowed from the car's exhaust.从汽车排气管冒出一股股黑色浓烟。

Are you coming outside for a smoke?你是不是出来抽支烟?They are making a smoke to drive away mosquitos.他们正在用烟把蚊子熏走。

钱钟书的翻译思想及其译例赏析

钱钟书的翻译思想及其译例赏析

钱钟书的翻译思想及其译例赏析作者:江梦晔来源:《读书文摘(下半月)》2017年第10期摘要:钱钟书先生是我国近现代的国学大师,文化昆仑。

从翻译方面来看,钱钟书先生具有创新性的翻译理论观点和丰富的翻译实践经验。

他的翻译理论观点言简意赅,意蕴丰富,在文学翻译界独树一帜,对以后的翻译实践具有重要的理论指导意义。

本文将根据有关资料,对钱钟书的翻译思想与实践做出总结、论证以及不同层面的梳理,对其译例进行赏析,希望有利于人们对“钱氏”翻译思想与实践的研究,并且为全球化交际过程中的文化转型提供借鉴思路。

关键词:钱钟书;翻译思想;译例一、引言钱钟书,江苏无锡人,字默存。

他精通数国外语,在许多文化领域都取得了极高建树。

他是当代中国的国学大师之一,更是见解独到的翻译理论家,对翻译界做出了杰出的贡献。

钱钟书翻译的专著不多,而且他对翻译问题的研究比较零散,但十分独到、全面。

《林纾的翻译》《汉译第一首英文诗及有关二三书》等专文比较全面地反映了他的翻译思想,此外,大多散见于《管锥编》《谈艺录》等著作中。

二、翻译思想(一)“诱”、“媒”、“讹”在《林纾的翻译》一文的开始,钱钟书就首先分析了“译”字中相互关联的意义。

在后面的文章中,他对“诱”“讹”“化”做出了详细的阐述,把翻译的性质、作用、易犯的错误和翻译的理想做出了独特的概括。

这一段话意蕴丰富,引人深思。

所谓“诱”就是我们常说的“媒”,钱钟书用二字形象地说明了翻译的作用。

从广义上来说,即翻译在文化交流中所起的作用。

也就是说,翻译是个“居间者”和“联络人”,诱使人们去了解外国作品,好像“做媒婆”似的,促使各国文化缔结“文学姻缘”。

从狭义来说,一方面,读者可能会因为阅读了翻译作品而对原作产生浓厚的兴趣。

另一方面,随着读者阅读量的增加,可能渐渐对翻译作品产生质疑,故想阅读原作。

这就是钱钟书所说的“讹”。

所谓“讹”,就是译文和原作之间总有“失真”的地方,在意义理解或语气上与原文的风格不同。

《围城》英译选句

《围城》英译选句

《围城》英译选句原文:苏小姐理想的自己是:“艳如桃李,冷若冰霜,”让方鸿渐卑逊地仰慕而后屈伏地求爱。

谁知道气候虽然每天华氏一百度左右,这种又甜又冷的冰淇淋作风全行不通。

(钱钟书- 围城)翻译关键词:艳如桃李,冷若冰霜,华氏一百度“左右”译文:Miss Su, who pictured herself in the words of the familiar saying, "as delectableas peach and plum and as cold as frost and ice," decided she would allow Fang to humbly gaze at her in admiration and then prostrate himself to beg for her love. Who would have thought that while the temperature hovered around 100 degrees every day, this sweet, cool ice cream manner of hers was completely ineffective. (美Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao <译> –Fortress Besieged)资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途翻译笔记:艳如桃李,冷若冰霜* 这句话出自于《苍鹰击割爱》。

一般用来形容女子,容貌艳丽而态度严肃。

文中译为as delectable as peach and plum and as cold as frost and icedelectable是一个GRE的词汇,常用在来说食物美味的,或者某件事或人是令人愉快的。

例如:What delectable dinner it is!这顿晚餐真是美味极了!还有什么词语可以来形容女子美貌的呢?是不是想到了“沉鱼落雁,闭月羞花”?沉鱼落雁makes the fish sink and wild geese fall闭月羞花a beauty which obscure the moon and make flowers blush对啦?小编小哈扯开一下,大家知不知道,这两个词是形容哪四位古代美女哒?华氏一百度“左右”* 这里特别指出左右,是不是有点奇怪?左右无非就是left and right?哈哈,我们来看,文中是怎么翻译的。

钱钟书 翻译 例句

钱钟书 翻译 例句

钱钟书,一座文化昆仑,一代博学鸿儒。

他博学多能,兼通数国外语,学贯中西,在文学创作和学术研究、翻译三方面均做出了卓越成绩。

钱钟书的翻译恣肆传神信属鬼工。

他译英国诗人拜伦写给情人的一封信,走笔典雅,一不留神,竟超过了原文,成了倾诉离别之苦的绝唱;也完美地实践了他提出的翻译的“化境”(既能不因语文习惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹,又能完全保存原有的风味)之说。

拜论原文:Everything is the same, but you are not here, and I still am. In separation theone who goes away suffere less than the one who stays behind.钱钟书译文:此间百凡如故,我仍留而君已去耳。

行行生别离,去者不如留者神伤之甚。

译文用典浑然天成,丝毫不露翻译之痕;令人玩味再三,拍案叫绝。

从1950年到1956年,钱先生几乎没有文章发表。

这六七年时间,一个大学问家怎能无论著问世?一直让学界感到不可思议。

原来在这段时间里,钱钟书先生担任《毛泽东选集》英译委员会主任委员。

刘继兴考证,钱钟书先生曾在1955年填写的《中国作家协会会员表》中说:“自1950年7月起至去年(1954)2月皆全部从事《毛泽东选集》英译工作,故无暇顾及其他活动”。

《毛泽东选集》是毛泽东思想的集中体现。

把“毛选”四卷准确地译成英文,是极为严肃的政治任务。

谁能领衔担此重任,学贯中西的钱钟书先生自然是最合适的人选了。

钱钟书当年从清华考取牛津大学留学生时,其考试成绩名列榜首。

他在牛津大学爱克赛特学院潜心攻读英国文学,其时牛津大学出版一套“东方哲学、宗教、艺术丛书”,聘请钱钟书担任特约编辑,他是编辑组中惟一的一个中国学生,其英文水平可见一斑。

钱钟书的学术代表作《管锥编》中征引西方学者和作家达千余人,征引包括数种语言的著作1780多种。

很多引用的外文是钱钟书先生凭他超人的记忆默写出的。

钱锺书的《围城》英译版

钱锺书的《围城》英译版

钱锺书的《围城》英译版《围城》是钱钟书所著的长篇小说。

通过主人公方鸿渐在欧洲留学回国后的人生经历,小说道出了围在城里的人想逃出来,城外的人想冲进去。

对婚姻也罢,职业也罢,人生的愿望大都如此这一内涵。

接下来,小编给大家准备了钱锺书的《围城》英译版,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。

钱锺书的《围城》英译版1990年,由黄蜀芹执导,由陈道明、英达、吕丽萍、葛优主演的电视剧《围城》播出,堪称中国自改革开放以来不可多得的电视剧佳作之一。

我们一起看一看书中的人物鲍小姐。

可是苏小姐觉得鲍小姐赤身,伤害及中国国体。

Miss Su felt that Miss Paos exposed body constituted an insult to the body politic of the Chinese nation.赏析:译者明晓作者的幽默语气,并通过选词把这一幽默坚持到底。

译文的constitute 极妙,是一个正式的、会与制度相关的词语。

既和国体同属一个语域,也以这种正式的用语增加了戏谑的程度。

而两个体也以body的形式很好保留在译文里。

那些男学生看得心头起火,口角流水,背着鲍小姐说笑个不了。

When men students saw Miss Pao, they burned with lewd desire, and found some relief by endlessly cracking jokesbehind her neck.赏析:钱钟书先生以一组对仗的四字词语心头起火和口角流水,营造了极强的画面感。

译本采用意译的方式,译出了大意。

有人叫她熟食铺子(Charcuterie),因为只有熟食店会把那许多颜色暖热的肉公开陈列; 又有人叫她真理,因为据说真理是赤裸裸的。

Some called her a charcuterie- a shop selling cooked meats- because only such a shop would have so much warm-colored flesh on public display. Others called her Truth, since it is said that the truth is naked.赏析:译文替换原文的括号,采用破折号对词语进行解释。

吃一堑长一智钱钟书译英文

吃一堑长一智钱钟书译英文

吃一堑长一智钱钟书译英文In the vast landscape of Chinese proverbs, "Eating a tumble and gaining wisdom" stands as a timeless piece of advice, encapsulating the essence of experience and learning. This proverb, often shortened to "Eat a tumble, grow a wisdom," embodies the understanding that setbacks and failures, while painful, are valuable teachers that lead to personal growth and wiser decision-making. When Qian Zhongshu, a renowned Chinese scholar and translator, took on the task of translating this proverb into English, he did not simply convey the literal meaning; he strove to capture the profound wisdom and cultural resonance hidden within.The translation challenge lay in finding an English expression that could convey the same level of insight and brevity as the original Chinese proverb. Qian Zhongshu's translation, "A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit," achieves this balance beautifully. It maintains the parallelism of the original, using "a fall" to represent the tumble and "a gain" to signify the wisdom gained. By using "pit" and "wit," Qian creates a vivid image thatresonates with the original Chinese, while maintaining the rhythmic quality of the proverb.The translation's success lies in its ability to evoke the same emotional and intellectual response in English-speaking audiences as it does in native Chinese speakers. It captures the idea that while falling may be painful, it is through these experiences that we learn the most valuable lessons about life and ourselves. This translation is not just a linguistic feat; it is a cultural bridge, connecting the insights of ancient Chinese wisdom to a global audience.Qian Zhongshu's translation of "Eating a tumble and gaining wisdom" is a testament to his profound understanding of both Chinese culture and the nuances of the English language. His translation not only preserves the essence of the original proverb but also enhances its universal appeal, making it accessible and relevant to people across different cultures and languages. Through his translation, Qian Zhongshu has ensured that this timeless piece of advice will continue to guide and inspiregenerations of learners, both within China and beyond its borders.**吃一堑长一智:钱钟书的英文翻译**在中国谚语的丰富宝库中,“吃一堑长一智”这句至理名言占据着举足轻重的地位。

今天趁隙,把剩下的5个句子传上来。

其实钱钟书还有很多的妙译,散见在他的著作里。

以后有时间,我还会整理一些,公之于博客。

6、原文:“In summer I`m disposed to shirk, /As summer is no time for work./In winter inspiration dies/For lack of outdoor exercise./In spring I’m seldom in the mood, /Because of vernal lassitude ./The fall remains. But such a fall!/We’ve really had no fall at all.”(美国人小诗)钱译:炎夏非勤劬之时;严冬不宜出户游散,无可即景生情,遂尔文思枯涸;春气困人,自振不得;秋高身爽,而吾国之秋有名乏实,奈何!——《管锥编》1408页7、原文;“After a certain age every milestone on our road is a gravestone of our funeral procession.”钱译:人至年长,其生涯中每一纪程碑亦正为其志墓碑,而度余生不过如亲送己身之葬尔。

——《管锥编》1439页8、原文:“If all seas were ink and all rushes pens and the whole Heaven parchment and all sons of men writers, they would not be enough to describe the depth of the mind of the Lord.”(塔木德语)钱译:海水皆墨汁,芦苇皆笔,天作羊皮纸,举世人作书手,尚不足传上帝之圣心。

译文赏析作业

译文赏析作业

钱钟书译文赏析钱钟书(1910-1998),江苏无锡人,因他周岁“抓周”时抓得一本书,故取名“钟书”,字默存,号槐聚,曾用笔名中书君,中国现代作家、文学研究家。

他哓畅多种外文,包括英、法、德语,亦懂拉丁文、意大利文、希腊文、西班牙文等。

中学时代,在语文课本上第一次接触到了钱钟书老先生。

那时候只知道钱老先生是一位作家,只知道他写的文章很好,很受欢迎。

后来才知道,原来钱老还是一个著名的翻译家。

下面是钱钟书先生翻译的经典作品:1.拜伦致情人语:Everything is the same, but you are not here,and I still am. In separation the one who goes away suffer lessthan the one who stays behind.钱译:此间百凡如故,我仍留而君已去耳。

行行生离别,去者不如留者神伤之甚。

评析:钱钟书的这一翻译肆意传神,走笔典雅,令人玩味再三,拍案叫绝。

一不留神,竟超过了原文,成了倾诉离别之苦的绝唱;也完美地实践了他提出的翻译的“化境”Focus onthe translator’s smooth and idiomatic Chinese version forthe sake of the Chinese reader (既不能因语文习惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹,又能完全保存原有的风味)之说。

2.Happy the people whose annals are tiresome.钱译:国史沉闷,国民幸运。

评析:译句之美,美在工整、对仗,况且“闷”和“运”韵母相似,读起来也很上口,钱钟书先生还有一译,与此译有异曲同工之妙:Happy the people whose annals are vacant.国史无录,国民有福。

3.《管锥编》:One man was maimed in his legs, while anotherhas lost his eyesight. The blind man, taking the lame man on his shoulders, kept a straight course by listening to the other’s orders. It was bitter, all-daring necessity which taught them how, by dividing their imperfection between them, to make a perfect whole.钱译:一跛一盲,此负彼相,因难见巧,何缺成全。

钱钟书论林纾的翻译

钱钟书论林纾的翻译

的小诗集》(Epigerams of against Martial)[8]。许多人都能从自己的阅读经验 里找出补充的例子。
林纾的翻译所起的“媒”的作用,已经是文学史上公认的事实[9]。他对若干读者 也一定有过歌德所说的“媒”的影响,引导他们去跟原作发生直接关系。我自己就是 读了他的翻译而增加学习外国语文的兴趣的。商务印书馆发行的那两小箱《林译小 说丛书》是我十一二岁时的大发现,带领我进了一个新天地、一个在《水浒》、 《西游记》、《聊斋志异》以外另辟的世界。我事先也看过梁启超译的《十五小豪 杰》、周桂笙译的侦探小说等等,都觉得沉闷乏味[10]。接触了林译,我才知道西 洋小说会那么迷人。我把林译里哈葛德、欧文、司各特、迭更司的作品津津不厌地 阅览。假如我当时学习英文有什么自己意识到的动机,其中之一就是有一天能够痛 痛快快地读遍哈葛德以及旁人的探险小说。四十年前[11],在我故乡那个县城里, 小孩子既无野兽电影可看,又无动物园可逛,只能见到“走江湖”的人耍猴儿把戏或 者牵一头疥骆驼卖药。后来孩子们看野兽片、逛动物园所获得的娱乐,我只能向冒 险小说里去追寻。因为翻来覆去地阅读,我也渐渐对林译发生疑问。我清楚记得这 个例子。哈葛德《三千年艳尸记》第五章结尾刻意描写鳄鱼和狮子的搏斗,对小孩 子说来,这是一个惊心动魄的场面,紧张得使他眼瞪口开、气也不敢透的。林纾译 文的下半段是这样:
彻底和全部的“化”是不可实现的理想,某些方面、某种程度的“讹”又是不能避免 的毛病,于是“媒”或“诱”产生了新的意义。翻译本来是要省人家的事,免得他们去 学外文、读原作的,却一变而为导诱一些人去学外文、读原作。它挑动了有些人的 好奇心,惹得他们对原作无限向往,仿佛让他们尝到一点儿味道,引起了胃口,可 是没有解馋过瘾。他们总觉得读翻译象隔雾赏花,不比读原作那么情景真切。歌德 就有过这种看法,他很不礼貌地比翻译家为下流的职业媒人(Uebelsetzer sind als geschaftige Kuppler anzusehen)——中国旧名“牵马声价[7]。要证实那个想象,要揭去 那层遮遮掩掩的面纱,以求看得仔细、看个着实,就得设法去读原作。这样说来, 好译本的作用是消灭自己;它把我们向原作过渡,而我们读到了原作,马上掷开了 译本。勇于自信的翻译家也许认为读了他的译本就无需再读原作,但是一般人能够 欣赏货真价实的原作以后,常常薄情地抛弃了翻译家辛勤制造的代用品。倒是坏翻 译会发生一种消灭原作的效力。拙劣晦涩的译文无形中替作品拒绝读者;他对译本 看不下去,就连原作也不想看了。这类翻译不是居间,而是离间,摧灭了读者进一 步和原作直接联系的可能性,扫尽读者的兴趣,同时也破坏原作的名誉。法国十七 世纪德·马露尔神父(Abbe de Marolles)的翻译就是一个经典的例证,他所译古罗 马诗人《马夏尔的讽刺小诗集》(Epigerams of Martial)被时人称为《讽刺马夏尔

Business Sees Profits in Education:Challenging Public SchoolsBy Irving H.Buchen由于私人企业的介入,美国的教育正在经历一系列快速、惊人的变化。

cation in the United States is undergoing a rapid and dramatic series of changes caused by private enterprise moving into the field.教育吸引私人企业有三个原因。

第一是财务上的回报。

估计教育是个有6000亿美元的市场,超出国防部的预算。

从幼儿园至12年级是最大的单个市场,1998年的价值达到了3100百亿美元。

除此之外,人们对学习的毕生追求,企业与机构进行的培训项目是不断增长的领域。

cation attracts the private sector for three reasons. First, it can be financially rewarding. Education is estimated to be a $600 billion market, more than the budget for the Department of Defense. The biggest single market is kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12), valued at $310 billion in 1998. Additionally, lifelong learning and training programs for businesses and organizations are growing areas.第二,教育受到严重的压力,虽然内部尽全力进行改革,但人们对这个既有的体制信心不足。

钱钟书经典美文《窗》翻译详解

钱钟书经典美文《窗》翻译详解

钱钟书经典美文《窗》翻译详解钱钟书先生的这篇散文说的是窗子,但是其用意绝不仅仅是说说窗子而已,而是要以窗子来比喻生活、比喻人生。

从语言上看,《窗》延续了一贯的钱派手法,用词平实、普通,没有长句,没有什么复杂结构,非常从容地叙述、说理,却又紧紧地扣住了主题。

这样的特点对翻译构成的难度不言而喻,翻译中应当时时充分考虑上述特点,尽量在译文中体现出来。

下面我们就以《窗》这篇散文的前两段为例,来谈谈汉译英中可能遇到的问题。

汉译英翻译:窗 Random Thoughts on the Window又是春天,窗子可以常开了。

春天从窗外进来,人在屋子里坐不住,就从门里出去。

不过屋子外的春天太贱了!到处是阳光,不像射破屋里阴深的那样明亮;到处是给太阳晒得懒洋洋的风,不像搅动屋里沉闷的那样有生气。

就是鸟语,也似乎琐碎而单薄,需要屋里的寂静来做衬托。

我们因此明白,春天是该镶嵌在窗子里看的,好比画配了框子。

It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like. As spring comes in through the windows, so people——unable to bear staying inside any longer——go outdoors. The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house. Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house. Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is neededto set it off. It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.同时,我们悟到,门和窗有不同的意义。
