第六章 英汉转换译法 (英文)第一节 正面表达和反面表达的转换
第六章英汉转换译法第一节正面表达和反面表达的转换这里所谓的正面表达和反面表达是指在英语中是否用no, not或者带有de-, dis-, im-, in-, un-, less-等前、后缀的词，在汉语中是否用“无，非，不，没，未，否”等表示否定意义的字，如果有就是反面表达，反之就是正面表达。
如：两个人谈话，其中一个说：“I am not kidding.”这反面表达。
（我不是在开玩笑。
）译成汉语从正面表达：另一个说：“I meant it, too.”为正面表达。
（我也是认真的。
）译成汉语可以从反面表达：正面表达与反面表达只是表达方式的不同，它们所传达的意思是相同的。
因此，在通常情况下，正反表达法的互变只是一种权宜的变通手段。
例如：incompleteinfrequentilliterateuntouchableexactlyfailmissdumb-bell但在某些情况下，这种变通则是一种必需。

Her beauty is beyond compare.4. Instead of Mr. Black, Mr. White delivered a speech at the meeting.当but, except, except for, barring, besides等词义相当于leaving out时，均宜译成反说式，以免引起词义含混。

鉴于此，我们在翻译某些含有否定意义的英文句子时，应 当特别注意两点：一是英语里有些从正面表达的词语或句 子，汉译时可以从反面来表达，即正说反译法 (negation)；二是英语里有些从反面表达的词语或句子， 汉译时可从正面来表达，即反说正译法(affirmation)。 例如:。

第六章英汉转换译法第一节正面表达和反面表达的转换
第六章英汉转换译法第一节正面表达和反面表达的转换这里所谓的正面表达和反面表达是指在英语中是否用no, not或者带有de-,dis-, im-, in-, un-, less书前、后缀的词,在汉语中是否用“无,非,不,没,未, 否〞等表示否认意义的字,如果有就是反面表达,反之就是正面表达.如：两个人谈话,其中一个说：“I am not kidding.〞这反面表达.（我不是在开玩笑.）译成汉语从正面表达：另一个说：“I meant it, too.〞为了正面表达.（我也是认真的.）译成汉语可以从反面表达：正面表达与反面表达只是表达方式的不同, 它们所传达的意思是相同的.因此,在通常情况下,正反表达法的互变只是一种权宜的变通手段.例如：incompleteinfrequentilliterateuntouchableexactlyfailmissdumb-bell但在某些情况下,这种变通那么是一种必需.一、英语含蓄否认句汉译时从反面表达All music is alike to me.（一）动词或动词短语引起的含蓄否认句1. I hate to get personal, but you re much older than Byron.2. I hate to say good-bye.3. Then, the source of energy wilLcease to be a reason for war.4. My father will kill me when he finds out.5. The specification Jacks detail.6. We must keep the proletarian state from ever changing colors.（二）介词或连词引起的含蓄否认句1. That lazy boy went to class before he had prepared his lesson.2. Mr. Smith was above reproach.3. Her beauty is beyond compare.4. Instead of Mr. Black, Mr. White delivered a speech at the meeting.当but, except, except for, barring, besides等词义丰目当于leaving out 时,均宜译成反说式,以免引起词义含混.（三）名词引起的含蓄否认句1. A few instruments are in a state of neglect.2. We cannot finish the work in the absence of these conditions.3. She was at a loss what to do.（四）形容词及其短语引起的含蓄否认句1. I am far from considering it perfect.2. The newspaper accounts are far from being true.3. We must be free from arrogance and rashness and learn from people.4. He is the last man I want to see.5. Present supplies of food are short of requirements.（五）too, but引起的含蓄否认句too, but在一定的上下文中具有否认的含义,因此,含有这两个词的英语句子往往要译为了汉语的否认句.1. But for your efficiency, our timely communication should have been impossible.2. He is too much of a coward to shoot.3. His mother is anything but angry.4. I ll do anything but that.5. I would go with you but that I am so busy.6. He is anywhere to be found_but in his office.（六）有些肯定的比拟句含有否认的意义,可译为了汉语的否认句1. You ought to know better than to do that sort of thing.2. Your temper is more than I can bear.3. There is more in it than you imagine.4. The hero would rather die than surrender.5. I, rather than you, should do the work.6. I ll buy it!二、某些英语否认结构译时从正面表达有些英语句子虽然是从反面表达的, 但它们的意义却是肯定的,翻译时根据汉语的表达习惯从正面表达.（一）形容词1. I will never be so ungrateful as even to think he has done an act of injustice by me.2. It is well you wish this behind her back, else you would have but an unquiet house." said Nerissa.（二）名词1. To say the truth, there is but on work in His whole creation that doth Him any dishonor, and with that I have long since avoided holding any conversations.2. Mr. Square happened to be at church on the Sunday, when, the appearance of Molly in her sack had caused al that disturbance.3. He manifested a strong dislike for his fathers business.（三）动词1. He had not the least difficulty in discovering the true cause of his present behavior.2. Some well-chosen present from the philosopher so softened and unguarded the girl s heart.3. As the door was fastened, which gave her an opportunity of conveying her lover behind that rug or blanket where he now was unhappily discovered.（四）副词1. On the contrary, had she been confined to the choice of one only, Tom Jones would undoubtedly have been of the two victorious persons.2. Our other grandson looks unbelievable like Byron as an infant.3. He stood for a while motionless, and seemed equally at a loss what to say orwhither to direct his eyes.4. Byron walked uncertainly to the cry girl.（五）短语英语中有些短语形式上是否认的,但表达的内容却是肯定的.如：not-• until, never-without, no one but等,含有这些短语的句子,译成汉语时大多从正面表1. They gave me the wrong book, and I didrit notice it until I got back to my room.2. Don' drive back till these bastards quit, or you may get strafed.3. No one but a great philosopher could solve such a question.4. How are you?〞“ couldn't feel better.〞5.

I never go past that school but think of my first teacher.3. You cari t be too careful.4. I' m not a little afraid of snakes.三、双重否认结构的译法（一）译为了双重否认句使用双重否认句的目的是起强调作用, 或使语气委婉.翻译时如果保存原文的“否认之否认〞形式并不影响中文的流畅,那么保存为了好.这样可以突出原文的强调作用或委婉语气.1. I cannot let your statement pass unquestioned.2. There can never be a force acting in nature unless two bodies are involved.3. He was not unequal to the duty.4. I could not translate certain passages_wilhout challenging them.5. She never willingly suffered any one to depart from her house without inquiring as much as possible into their names, families and fortunes.6. Now no spaceship cannot be loaded with man.（二）译为了肯定句如果保存原文的双重否认形式不能得到流畅的译文,那么译为了汉语的肯定句.1. Nowadays it is not seldom that a man lives to be seventy years old.2. There can be_no sunshine without shadow.3. I am not insincere about it.4. She is not a little interested in American literature.5. The flowing of electricity through a wire is not unlike that of water through a pipe.。

正反、反正表达法(翻译技巧)
正反、反正表达法（翻译技巧）Negation在语法与翻译两个不同学科中含义不尽相同。
Negation 作为一种翻译技巧，它主要指在翻译实践中，为了使译文忠实而合乎语言习惯地传达原文的意思，有时必须把原文中的肯定说法变成译文中的否定说法，或把原文中的否定说法变成译文中的肯定说法。
因此，翻译技巧中的Negation译成“正说反译、反说正译法”是比较合适的。
而语法中的Negation则译成“否定”，因为它是指下面四种语言现象：1.Full negative(完全否定)；2. Absolute negative（绝对否定）；3. Semi negative(部分否定) ;4. Words, or phrases, with negative implication（含否定意义的词或短语）。
前两种否定，除少数情况外，英语汉语中差别不大；而后两者否定，在英汉两种语言的运用中则差别较大，需要特别注意。
从下面的例句中，可以体会“正说反译，反说正译”在翻译中使用的一些情况。
1.I don’t think Tom is correct.我认为汤姆不对。
（不译成：我不认为汤姆是不对的）2.我想小李明天不会来了。
I don’t think Xiao Li will come tomorrow.（不译成：I think Xiao Li won’t come tomorrow.）3. A: Are you not going tomorrow?B. No, I’m not going.甲：你明天不去吗？乙：是的，我不去。
4. ①Africa is not kicking out Western Imperialism ②in order to invite other new masters.①非洲踢出西方帝国主义②并不是为了请进其他新的主子。
（假如不运用“正说反译，反说正译”这一技巧，译文就会成为：“非洲不踢出西方帝国主义为了请进其它新的主子。
正反、反正译法
（二）英译汉反说正译法：英语从反面表达， 汉语从正面表达
反正译是用变换语气的方法把原文的否定式译成 汉语的肯定式。翻译时运用这一方法可使译文自然 流畅。 英语中含有否定词语的结构和双重否定的结构常有 这种方法来解释。英语中表达否定意思的词或词组 指带有de-, dis-, im-, in-, un-, less-等词缀的词和 no, not, not…until, no less than, no more than, Nothing than, nothing but, cannot…too 等表示 否定的词或词组。

She is no less diligent than her sister. 她和她姐姐一样用功。 Such things couldn’t long escape notice. 这类事情迟早会被人发觉的。 We did not notice this matter until yesterday. 直到昨天我们才注意到这件事。 We can not be too careful in doing experiments. 我们做实验越仔细越好。
（一）英译汉正说反译法：英语从正面表达， 汉语从反面表达
正反译是用变换语气的方法把原文的肯定式译成 汉语的否定式。翻译时运用这一方法可使译文合乎 汉语规范，更恰当地表达原文的意思。
例如, correct 可译成“没有毛病”，wonder可译成 “不知道”，exactly可译成“一点不错”，anythi but可译成“一点也不”等等。
Never too old to learn. 活到老，学到老。 I couldn’t agree more about it. 我对此非常赞同。 His story was nothing but lies. 他的那番话纯粹是谎言。 Our advice was not lost on him. 我们的劝告对他起了作用。 There is no rule but exceptions. 凡规则总有例外。 Don’t lose time in posting this letter.

Conversion from Affirmation to Negation
The English language has its peculiarities in negation. Of course, English-speaking people have their own way of thinking in the negation and expressing negative implications. What is affirmative in form in English may be implied something negative in Chinese, and vice verses-. The use of “yes” and “no” is a case in point.

英汉翻译法7——正反译法
⏹在翻译时，对于中国学生来说，某些否定句犹如陷阱，稍有不慎，就会掉入其中。
鉴于此，我们在翻译某些含有否定意义的句子时，应当把握两点：一、英语里有些从正面表达的词或句子，译文可从反面来表达，即正说反译法；二、英语里有些从反面表达的词或句子，译文可从正面来表达，即反说正译法。
例如：⏹1) Only five customers remained in the bar.⏹酒吧间只有五个顾客还没走。
⏹(原文从正面表达，译文从反面表达。
如译成“还留着”，或“还呆在那里”，则不如“还没有走”更符合汉语习惯。
)⏹2）Anyone wants to get out? Over my dead body!⏹只要我活着，谁也别想出去。
（the original English sentence implies “nobody can get out unless you kill me）.⏹3) Mother said Father would come soon, but Mary knew better.⏹妈妈说爸爸很快就会来了，玛丽知道不会。
（“know better” implies that Mary thoug ht differently or disagreed with Mother, it means “think otherwise”）⏹5) A radar screen is not unlike a television.⏹雷达荧光屏跟电视荧光屏一样。
⏹(如译成“雷达荧光屏不是不象电视荧光屏一样”则不符合汉语习惯。
)⏹我们可以看到，正面译不顺，不妨从反面译；反面译不顺，不妨从正面译，因为同一个概念，一个民族正面说，认为是合乎表达习惯的，而另一个民族则认为反着说才顺嘴。
⏹下面从正说反译和反说正译这两个方面来探讨英语否定结构汉译的一般原则⏹一、正说反译法（Affirmative in English, but Negative in Chinese）⏹英语中的含蓄否定词或含蓄否定短语一般都要译成汉语的否定词组。
