视角转换,在汉英翻译中主要表现有两种类型:
1.从与汉语不同的角度传达同样的信息
(1)生活中常用的“看”、“听”、“说”的翻译。
看钟/表
我能看出他的心事。
这东西还看得过去的话,你就买吧。
从他的话音里,我能听出点东西来。
他姓什么,我一时说不上来。
说来话长。
这可真说不过去。
还是把事情说开了好。
(2)在成语的翻译中,不同视角的转换体现在形象的替代上。
牛饮
瓮中之鳖
胆小如鼠
自言自语
开夜车
东张西望
天长地久
鱼米之乡
意在言外
(3)有些情况下进行虚实互换。
他们闹着要吃小马的喜酒
精神食粮
假眼(转虚为实)
Fake adj(only before noun): made to look like a real material or object in order to deceive people
Fake fur
A fake ID card
A fake 20-dollar bill
A fake name
Speak with a fake German accent
A fake smile of friendliness
她往日得了病,茶水也不咽一口。(转实为虚)
(4)习惯说法不一样
