汉译英 成语的翻译
Strike while the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。 Walls have ears. 隔墙有耳。 Constant dropping wears the stone. 水滴石穿。 Actions speak louder than words.
事实胜于雄辩。
成语翻译要注意的事项
汉语成语的语言特色,即形象鲜明、常用典故、
音韵和谐,翻译时应尽可能地保留这些特色。 然而由于汉英两种语言和文化的巨大差异,汉 语成语的这些特色很难全部在译文中得以再现, 此时译者必须有所舍弃,采取适当的翻译策略 以确保主要信息的传递。 现代翻译学认为,译文与原文在意义上应动态 对应,不要形式对等。因此,从原文的深层意 义出发,汉语句子当中的四字词组在译成英语 时都有可能与英语句中的单词、短语、习语甚 至整句相对应。
Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. 不可过早乐观。 Every cloud has a silver lining. 天下没有绝对的坏事。 Among so many well-dressed and cultured people, the country girl felt like a fish out of water. 同这么多穿着体面而又有教养的人在一起,这位乡下 姑娘感到很不自在。 She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth; she thinks she can do what she likes. 她生长在富贵之家,认为凡事都可随心所欲。
TRANSLATION APPRECIATION
1.It is too late to grieve when the chance is past. 坐失良机,后悔已迟。 2.It’s never too late to learn. 活到老,学到老。 3.Joy at its height engenders sorrow. 乐极生悲。 4.Justice has long arms.

英汉译英的方法
英汉译英的方法
英汉译英的方法,也可称为英译英,是指将英文文本(或词语)翻译成英语的过程。
以下是一些常见的英汉译英方法:
1. 直译法:直接将中文的意思逐字逐句地翻译成英语。
这种方法通常用于固定搭配或成语的翻译,例如“十全十美”可以直译为“Ten complete and beautiful”。
2. 同义替换法:对中文词语或句子进行同义替换来翻译成英语。
这种方法要求翻译者有一定的英语词汇量和表达能力,以便选择更合适的英文表达方式。
3. 释义法:将中文词语的释义翻译成英语。
这种方法常用于翻译中文词语的时候,可以通过解释、描述或定义表达词语的含义。
4. 转换法:通过转换句子结构或思维方式来实现翻译。
例如,中文习惯使用被动语态,而英文更倾向于使用主动语态,因此在翻译时可以对句子进行结构转换来适应英语的表达习惯。
5. 词类转换法:将中文词语的词类转换为英语的相应词类。
例如,将中文的名词翻译成英文的形容词或动词,通过词类的转换来达到翻译的目的。
6. 增减法:在翻译过程中增加或减少必要的词语或结构。
这种方法可以根据英文表达的需要进行适当的删减或补充,以确保整体句子在英语语境中能够表达清晰。
无论使用哪种方法,都要考虑到英文表达的习惯和语法规则,以及实现对原文意思的准确传达。

5. President Jimmy Carter noted that inflation is the cruelest tax that anyone can pay. Many people agree with that statement, arguing that the persistent decline in the dollar’s purchasing power hurts people directly because products cost more, and also causes a kind of psychological damage. Recent polls have shown that the average American, far from being optimistic, expects prices to rise to ever higher rates.

收藏汉译英
收藏汉译英
收藏可以翻译为“collect”,意思是“to gather and store things that you find interesting or valuable”,即收集并存储你觉得有趣或有价值的东西。
在不同的语境下,收藏也可以用其他词汇来表达,如“treasure up”(珍藏)、“hoard”(囤积)等。
但一般来说,“collect”是最常用和通用的翻译。
另外,“收藏”在网络和社交媒体语境中,特别是与网页、帖子或内容相关时,也常翻译为“favorite”或“save”,表示用户喜欢或想要以后再次查看的内容。
例如,“添加到收藏夹”可以翻译为“add to favorites”或“save to favorites”。
总的来说,“收藏”的具体翻译取决于上下文和所指的具体行为或对象。
在不确定的情况下,“collect”是一个比较安全和通用的选择。
但如果你能提供更具体的语境或用途,我可以给出更准确的翻译建议。
