Negation (正说反译,反说正译法 正说反译, 正说反译 反说正译法)
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 versa. The use of "yes" and "no" is a case in point. 1. --"Are you not going tomorrow?" --"No, I'm not going." 2. "I don't think you're right in this point."
重复译法主要体现在以下几个方面: 1,英语中常重复使用前置词,而将第二个,第三个 前置词的名词省略,翻译时则往往要把名词重复; 2,英语句子常常用一个动词连接几个宾语或表语, 在译文中要重复这个动词; 3,英语句子中动词后有前置词时,在第二次第三次 往往只用前置词而省略动词,在译文中则要重复 动词以代替英语中重复的前置词; 4,英语中两个并列句中后句的动词承接前文省略, 而在汉语中独立的分句必须具备谓语,翻译时必 须重复译出英语中省略的动词. 5,英语中用代词的地方,翻译时往往可按照汉语习 惯重复其所代替的名词.
