汉译英_成语的翻译 2

二、将四字词组译成短语，如介词短语、
副词短语、不定式短语
这种方法往往是套用英语中最简单的词
组或句型。
某位领导的讲话要求外交人员“立场坚
定、目光远大、头脑敏捷、业务熟练、才华出众、风格高尚”， “A Chinese diplomat should be firm in stand, broad in vision, swift in wit, qualified in profession, outstanding in talent, noble in character.”
三、套用英语中意思相同及功能对等的习语
四字词组中有很大一部分是固定词组，即成语。成语
往往带有浓厚的民族色彩和地方色彩。翻译时除了要忠实地表达原文意义之外，还要尽可能保持原文成语的形象比喻，丰富联想，修辞效果以及其民族、地方特点等。有的成语和英语中的习语在内容和形式上都相符合，双方不但有相同的意义和修辞色彩，并且有相同或大体相同的形象比喻。汉译英时，如果遇到这种情况，不妨直截了当地套用英语同义习语。这样的译文可能会增色不少，基本能实现四字词组的美学价值转移。
谚语俗语
亡羊补牢
Mend the fold after the sheep is stolen. 外来语一尘不染 Free of dust 心花怒放
Be wild with joy\be elated
新生成语
分秒必争
Seize every minute and second Race against time 百花齐放
香港人、爱护香港人的旭日辉映下，满怀信心，升锚启航，向着振兴中华，祖国统一的宏伟目标乘风奋进。 We are embarking on a new era.

成语英译方法

成语英译方法今日，为大家介绍成语英译的方法。

一、敏捷翻译1)比方形象不能被译文读者所接受，意译为佳。

例4、沉鱼落雁直译：something makes the fish dive down and geese fall.意译：dazzling beauty/ striking beauty解析：“沉鱼落雁”是极富东方特色的一种表述，中国读者当然非常清晰这里的“something”是指什么，但是国外读者唯恐难以知晓，甚至觉得可能是“雷电”或“飓风”等自然灾难让动物死亡。

既然“沉鱼落雁”的字面意义误导英语读者，便大可采纳应用意译的方式。

例5、灯红酒绿直译：with red lights and green wine意译：dissipated and luxurious开门见山直译：to open the door and see the mountain意译：to come straight to the point解析：以上两个例子，直译都会造成误会，采纳应用意译为佳。

在与其他文化接触时，人们很难摆脱自身的文化传统和思维方式，往往根据自己习惯的思维模式来解读，这就产生了难以避开的文化误会。

这就需要在翻译中留意换位思索。

2)字面上含有中国古代人名、地名，或出自寓言或历史典故的成语，最好绕开其文化背景，翻译其内涵意义。

若加上解释性文字，则失去了成语短小精炼的特点。

例6、毛遂自荐to volunteer one's service东施效颦crude imitation with ludicrous effect悬梁刺股to be extremely hard-working in one's study四周楚歌to be besieged on all sides解析：“毛遂自荐”指的是赵国平原君的门客毛遂自动请缨的故事，假如翻译时将毛遂的人名加上，不免让英文读者一头雾水。

而这成语本身就是一个典故，若是后缀英文解释又显得过于累赘。

习语翻译的指导思想
“直译基础上的意译”
陆殿扬：“Translate literally, if possible, or, appeal to free translation.” (如果可能，就直译；否则就意译）
奈达：功能对等（Functional Equivalence: not only the equivalent content of message, but, in so far as possible, an equivalence of the form);
6.增添法：为了更清楚地表达原意，有时要结合上下文，在译文中增添一些说明。
7.还原法：有些习语源于外语，翻译时可使之还原。
8.直译加注法：有些习语包含历史典故，含有中国文化色彩，如果不作一番解释，英语读者将很难理解其确切含义。
9.粗俗语回避法：对于粗俗语，通常采用回避的方法，即借用英语同义习语或意译等方法来处理。
格言警句: maxim
