marriage doesnt just happen.They take a lot of love and a lot of work.,/7/26,5,Good marriage doesnt just happen.They take a lot of love and a lot of work.,直译,：好的婚姻不会仅仅发生它们需要大量的爱和大量的工作。,意译,：幸福的婚姻不是凭空发生的-它需要你为它付出大量的爱和做大量的工作。,或：美满的婚姻不会从天上掉下来-你必须为它付出大量的爱，做大量的工作。,/7/26,6,很显然，本句话的意译要比直译更符合汉语体现习惯。当然，一句话并不限于一种译法，要根据详细需要而定。一般来说，在英汉翻译考试中，假如直译能达意就用直译，假如直译效果不好，就应当考虑意译。只要译文内容忠实，意思明白就行了。,/7/26,7,顺译法（又名句型对应法）,顾名思义，顺译法（句型对应法）就是按原文句子构造的排列次序进行翻译，这种译法适合于原文论述层次与汉语相近的长句翻译，如只含名词性从句的复合句、前置的状语从句或从句在后的长复合句等等。,/7/26,8,As an obedient son,I had to accept my parents decision that I was to be a doctor,though the prospect interested in me not at all.,作为一种孝顺的儿子，我不得不接受父母的决定，去当大夫，虽然我对这样的前途毫无爱好。,/7/26,9,3.倒译法,倒译法就是颠倒原文句子构造的排列次序来进行翻译。,例1：The moon is completely empty of water because the gravity on the moon is much less than on the earth.,由于月球的引力比地球小的多，因此月球上主线没有水。,/7/26,10,例2：The football students can be removed from the university if they fail to pass their examination.,作为足球运动员的学生假如考试不及格就要被开除。,/7/26,11,4.分译法,分译法，又称拆译法，也是一种基本的句法变通手段。从被分译成分的构造而言，分译大体可以分为单词的分译、短语的分译和从句的分译三种。,单词的分译即拆词，将难译的词从句子主干中拆离出来，另作处理，这种措施常常引起句式上的调整，英译汉中要拆译的词常常是形容词和副词。如：,/7/26,12,He unnecessarily spent a lot of time introducing his book,which the student are familiar with.,他花了很长时间简介这本书，其实没有必要，由于学生们对它已经很熟悉了。,They,not surprisingly,did not respond at all.,他们主线没有答复，这是局限性为奇的。,/7/26,13,短语的分译即将英语的某个短语单独拿出来译成一种独立成分、从句或并列句。如：,例1：We tried in vain to persuade him to give up his wrong belief.,我们竭力劝说他放弃错误的信念，但没有成功。,例2：The professor entered the laboratory followed by his graduate students.,专家走进教室，背面跟着他的硕士。,/7/26,14,从句的分译则是根据译文需要打散句子，重新组织。英语的长句重要由主从复合句构成，构造严谨，只要明确其主从关系，就能对的分译。如：,He told me such experience as I had never heard of before.,他给我讲述了他的经历，那些经历是我此前从未听说过的。,/7/26,15,He did not remember his father who died when he was three years old.,他三岁丧父，因此记不起父亲了。,Strange enough they were the same age to the day.,说来也巧，他俩年龄同样大，并且还是同日的。,/7/26,16,5.合译法,合译是将原文的两个或几种分开论述的意思或层次合并重组，如将两个分句合译为一种简朴句，或两个简朴句合译成一种复合句等，使全句的构造愈加紧凑，语气愈加顺通。,There are men here from all over the country.Many of them are from the north.,从全国各地来的人中有许多是北方人。,/7/26,17,There are many people who want to see the film.,许多人要看这部电影。,The time was 10:30,and traffic on the street was light,.,10点30分的时候，街上来往的车辆稀少了。,/7/26,18,英汉翻译中常用的多种技巧,一、词类的转换,由于英汉两种语言在语法和习惯上存在差异，在描述同一事物时，两种语言会使用不一样的词性。因此，在翻译过程中，有时需要变换原词的词性，以有效的传达原文的信息。常见的词类转换有一下几种。,/7/26,19,1.英语名词汉语动词,英语中具有动作意义或由动词转化过来的名词，汉译时往往转化为动词。如：,His arrival at this conclusion was the result of much thought.,他得出这结论是深思熟虑的成果。,/7/26,20,2.英语动词汉语名词,有些动词在汉语里虽有相对应的动词词义，但在某种特定的语言场所下不能使用该动词词义，或由于需要选择另一种更好的译文，因而将其转化为汉语的名词。如：,Judgment should be based on facts,not on hearsay.,判断应当以事实为根据，而不应当依道听途说。,/7/26,21,The man I saw at the party looked and talked like an American.,我在晚会上看到的那个人，外表和谈吐像美国人。,The electronic computer is chiefly characterized by its accurate and rapid computation.,计算机的重要特点是计算精确迅速。,/7/26,22,3.英语名词汉语形容词,英语原文中有形容词加后缀构成的名词，翻译时可转化为汉语的形容词。如：,Scientists are no strangers to politics.,科学家对政治并不陌生。,We found difficulty in solving the complicated problem,我们发现处理这个复杂的问题是很困难的。,/7/26,23,4.英语介词副词汉语动词,He came to my home for help.,他来到我家祈求协助。,I love having Friday off.,我喜欢周五休息。,I am for the former.,I am against the latter.,/7/26,24,5.英语副词汉语名词,It was,officially,announced that Paris is invited to the meeting.,官方,宣布，巴黎应邀出席会议。,/7/26,25,二、词类的增减,1.增词：,增词法按照汉语的习惯，在中文译文中合适添加英语中所没有的词语，以便满足汉语语法修辞的需要或更明确的体现原文的含义。如：,After the footfall match,he has got an important meeting.,看完足球赛后，他有一场重要的会议要去参与。,/7/26,26,More recently,Americans have been moving from the cities to the suburbs.,近年来，美国人一直不停地由都市迁往郊区。,The latest type of TVR system is light,inexpensive and easy to manipulate.,这种最新型的电视录像装置重量轻，价格低，并且操作简便。,/7/26,27,2.减词：,在不影响原意的状况下，省略无关紧要的词语，可以防止译文拖泥带水，这样，语句可以愈加精炼，并且不损害原意。如：,/7/26,28,Smoking is prohibited in public places.,公共场所不准吸烟,。,If winter comes,can spring be far behind?,冬天来了，春天还会远吗？,/7/26,29,三、语序调整,语序调整就是根据两种语言的不一样语序特点对句子成分进行调整安排。两种语言在时间、地点、逻辑等表述次序上常常存在某些差异。英译汉时，为了使译文合乎汉语语法和语言习惯，需要变化语序。英语诸多后置的定语、状语和修饰语，在翻译中的位置变化是英汉翻译中最常见也是最基本的现象。如：,/7/26,30,1.定语位置的调整：英语定语就其位置来说，可以分为前置定语和后置定语，而汉语定语一般放在名词之前，放在名词之后的很少，因此，英译汉时需要注意定语位置的调整。如：,The house whose roof was damaged has now been repaired.,屋顶坏了的房子目前已经修好了。,/7/26,31,定语从句,定语从句的翻译波及到限制行定语从句和非限制性定语从句的译法。,1.限制性定语从句对所修饰的先行词起限制作用，与先行词关系亲密，不用逗号隔开，翻译此类句子可以使用前置法或后置法。,1）前置法：把英语限制性定语从句译成带“的”定语词组，放在被修饰词之前，从而将复合句译成汉语单句。如：,/7/26,32,Anyone who has not attended a large college football game has missed one of the most colorful aspects of American college life.,任何一种没有参与过学校足球比赛的人，都会错过大学生活中最为精彩的一面。,/7/26,33,2）后置法：上述译成前置定语大都是用于限制性定语从句，但一般用于译比较简朴的英语定语从句。假如从句构造复杂，译成汉语前置定语显得太长而不符合汉语体现习惯时，往往可以译成后置的并列分句。可以分为两种状况。一是可以反复英语先行词，译成并列分句。如：,/7/26,34,They are striving for the ideal which is close to the heart of every Chinese and for which,in the past,many Chinese has laid down their lives.,他们正在为实现一种理想而努力，这个理想是每个中国人所珍爱的，在过去，许多中国人曾为了这个理想而牺牲了自己的生命。,/7/26,35,2.非限制性定语从句对先行词不起限制作用，只对它加以描写、论述和解释。翻译此类从句时可以运用如下几种措施：,1）前置法：某些较短而具有描写性的英语非限制性定语从句，也可以译成带“的”前置定语，放在被修饰词前面。如：,He liked his sister,who was warm and pleasant,but he did not like his brother,who was aloof and arrogant.,他 喜欢热情快乐的妹妹，而不喜欢冷漠傲慢的弟弟。,/7/26,36,2）后置法：,（1）译成并列分句。如：,Electronic computers,which make it possible to free man from the labor of complex measurements and computation,have found wide application in engineering.,电子计算机在工程技术上已获得广泛应用，它使人也许挣脱复杂的测量和计算工作。,/7/26,37,（2）译成独立句。如：,He had talked to Vice-president Nixon,who assured him that everything that could be done would be done.,他和副总统尼克松谈过话，副总统向他保证，但凡可以做到的都将竭尽全力去做。,/7/26,38,2.状语次序的调整：在汉语里状语多数放在所阐明或修饰的词的前面，但英语状语有的放在句子最终，有的放在句中，有的放在句首，翻译时要考虑汉语表述习惯，进行语序调整。如：,Many types of animals have now vanished from the earth.,许多动物在地球上灭绝了。,/7/26,39,3.同位语、插入语成分语序的调整：,插入语和同位语一般是对一种事物或一句话做某些附加的解释，英语中插入语和同位语位置十分灵活，译成汉语时，有时要做对应的调整以合乎汉语的体现习惯。如：,There are,to be exact,only two choices.,精确地说，只有两种选择。,/7/26,40,4.评论和表态中语序的调整：英语的语序和汉语不一样，英语先评论或先表态，再说有关状况，而汉语则相反，翻译时要按汉语习惯重新组织和排列句子的语序。如：,Food is essential to life.,食物是维持生命不可或缺的。,总埋怨是没用的,It is useless to complain all the time.,在西方，人走在梯子下面是不吉利的。,It is unlucky to walk under a ladder in the western countries.,/7/26,41,5.it 构造的语序调整：在英语里，主语可后来置，前面用形式主语it 替代。在汉语里，主语放在谓语的前面，不能用代词替代。在翻译“It+系动词+实际主语”的构造时，主语应尽量提前，并且应当明确详细，要将做真正主语的不定式等连同背面的从句提前译在主语的位置上。如：,It has long been proved that the creative power of the people knows no limits.,人民的发明力是无穷的，这一点早已得到证明。,/7/26,42,It doesnt make much difference whether he attends the meeting or not.,他参不参与会议没有多大关系。,It is strange that she did not see her own shortcomings.,她居然没看出自己的缺陷，真奇怪。,/7/26,43,四、语态的转换,1.英语中的被动语态可以译为积极语态。如：,Much has been said about the necessity of introducing foreign funds into Chinese enterprises.,有关中国企业引进外资的必要性已经谈的诸多了。,/7/26,44,2.英文中的被动语态还可以译成汉语中的“由、受、遭到、靠、让、要、得到、得以、可以、加以”等构造。如：,If the stability can be maintained,one of the worst features of the cycle will have been removed.,假如这种稳定状态得以保持下去，商业周期最坏的一种特性将被消除。,/7/26,45,3.英文中的被动语态还可以译成汉语中的无主语，或者译成泛泛的主语。如:,You are required to return all the books you borrowed from the library by the end of this month.,规定大家在月底前把从图书馆借的书所有偿还。,/7/26,46,三、表语从句,英语表语从句一般可按原文次序翻译。,What he emphasized over and over again was that,no matter how difficult it might be,they should never retreat even for an inch.,他再三强调的是，不管多么困难绝不后退半步。,His view of the press was that the reporters were either for him or against him.,他对新闻界的见解是记者们不是支持他就是反对他。,/7/26,47,四、同位语从句,同位语从句用来对名词或代词做深入的解释。同位语可以是单词、短语或从句。不一样的同位语有不一样的翻译措施。,1.同位语从句汉译时不提前。如：,He expressed the hope that he would come over to visit China again.,他表达但愿再到中国来访问。,/7/26,48,2.同位语从句提前。如：,But I knew I couldnt trust him.There was always the possibility that he was a political swindler.,但我懂得不能轻信他。他是政治骗子，这种也许性总是存在的。,/7/26,49,3.增长“即”（或“认为”）或用冒号、破折号分开。如：,But considered realistically,we had to face the fact that our prospects were less than good.,不过现实地考虑一下，我们不得不正视这样的现实：我们的前景并不妙。,/7/26,50,4.阐明身份、称号的英语同位语往往放在专门名词背面，汉译时一般放在前面。如：,They silently surrounded Tom,a young soldier,in order to take him prisoner.,他们悄悄地包围了一种年轻战士汤姆，企图俘虏他。,/7/26,51,第五节 英译汉常见问题,一、译文不忠,译文不忠于原文的原因重要是由于考生没有读懂原文，这其中除了考生英文基础和翻译经验方面的原因外，也许尚有如下两点原因：,/7/26,52,1、不理解英汉两种语言的区别，理解时缺乏英语思维，体现时又不能用汉语思维。英语和汉语是两种完全不一样的语言，英语用长句多，汉语用短句多；英语用被动多，汉语用积极多等。由于考生不理解这些规律，做英译汉时往往生搬硬套，成果译文与原文貌合神离，既谈不上精确，也谈不上完整，更谈不上通顺，得分当然不高。,/7/26,53,2、词汇障碍是考生丢分的重要原因。就单句翻译而言，词汇障碍也许有：考生不认识某些单词；有的单词似曾相识，但不知确切涵义；而句中的习语、短语和复合语、派生词等更是翻译障碍。此外还存在词义选择的问题。如：,A personnel deficit has existed for years in the company.,/7/26,54,其中许多考生不认识deficit一词，猜成“缺乏缺乏”等意。把句子译成：人员缺乏已在企业存在数年了。有考生认识该词，于是译成：企业里的人员赤字已存在好数年了。实际上对的的译文是：企业里人手局限性的状况已经存在好数年了。,/7/26,55,二、句子构造不合理,构造比较复杂的句子，假如不弄清晰它的语法构造，很难到达对的理解原文的规定。在分析句子构造时，首先把句子的主语谓语宾语找出来，这样句子的骨干构造也就清晰了。在分析句子的骨干构造时，还应分析句子中与否有省略成分，主句和从句之间的关系与否明确等。对的把握句子的构造是进行对的翻译的关键，假如连句子的构造还没弄清晰就匆忙动笔翻译,肯定是译不好的。,/7/26,56,For a family of four,for example,it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home,with almost unlimited entertainment available,than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.,/7/26,57,For a family of four,for example,it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home,with almost unlimited entertainment available,than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.,对于一种四口之家来说，舒舒适服地在家中看电视，就能看到几乎数不清的娱乐节目，这比到外面别的地方去消遣又廉价又以便。,/7/26,58,汉英翻译技巧,/7/26,59,一、直译与意译,二、增词与减词,1.增词法,（1）汉语无主句多，而英语句子一般均有主语，因此在翻译汉语无主句时，除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或There be构造翻译外，一般都要根据语境补出主语，句子完整。如：,/7/26,60,估计今年的工业产量比去年增长百分之八。,It is expected that industrial production this year increases by 8%over that of last year.,(2)英语中词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子之间的逻辑关系一般用连词来表达，而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表达这种关系。因此，在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。如：,/7/26,61,他不来信，我也不给他写信。,I wont write to him unless he writes first.,(3)英语句子离不开介词和冠词，而汉语中介词使用很少，也没有冠词，因此汉译英时要把省略的部分加上。如：,你白天还是夜间工作？,Do you work in the daytime or at night?,/7/26,62,2.减词法：即删去不符合目的语思维习惯、语言习惯和体现方式的词，以防止译文累赘。如：,中国人民历来是勇于探索，勇于发明，勇于革命的。,The people of China have always been courageous enough to probe into things,to make inventions and to make revolution.,/7/26,63,三、分译与合译,他的女朋友是什么样的人，他母亲一眼就能看出。,His mother is able to tell at a glance what kind of person his girlfriend is.,四、转换技巧,/7/26,64,我们对他说的那个地区的局势表达关注。,We are concerned about the situation of that area which he talked about.,/7/26,65,汉译英的常见错误,语法方面的错误,汉译英单句翻译中的语法错误重要有：不能精确使用时态或语态、主谓不一致、单复数混淆、可数与不可数名词使用不妥、连词、介词等使用不妥、拼写错误等。,1.时态错误：谓语动词时态形式选择不妥就会导致语法或句法错误。如：,/7/26,66,由于国外市场的剧烈竞争，多种家电变得越来越廉价。,Due to tough domestic and international competition,various types of electronical appliances have been getting cheaper.,have been getting cheaper比 have got cheaper更好，由于前者表达出来动作从过去开始一直延续到目前，并将继续下去。,/7/26,67,2.语态错误：某些在汉语中用积极语态体现的句子，英语中必须用被动语态。如：,国家没有那么钱，这些问题只能通过收费来处理。,The country does not have that much money,therefore,these problems can only be solved by introduction of fees.,/7/26,68,3.主谓不一致：根据语法规则，动词与真正的主语的数和人称必须一致。如：,老问题处理了，新问题出现了。,A number of new problems emerges when old ones is solved.,A number of new problems emerge when old ones are solved.,/7/26,69,4.连词使用不妥：在汉译英中，诸多英语连词错误是由于受汉语干扰导致的。如：,企业由于起步早，因此发展比他人快。,Because the company starts early,so it develops faster than others.,Because the company starts early,it develops faster than others.,或The company starts early,so it develops faster than others.,/7/26,70,习题演习 汉译英,1.假如你想准时到纽约参与会议，除了坐飞机以外别无选择。,If you want to reach New York in time for the meeting,you have no choice but to go by air.,2.在日本几乎每个人都懂得在地震发生时该怎么办。,In Japan,nearly everybody knows what he should do when the earthquake occurs.,3.无论何时我们都应牢记工业的发展决不能以牺牲环境为代价。,At no time should we forget that industrial growth can never be bought at the expense of environment.,/7/26,71,5.应当教育小朋友讲实话。,The children should be taught to speak the truth.,6.We think it our duty to clean the room everyday.,/7/26,72,7.马克决定去长途旅行，以远离这些麻烦。,Mark decided to go on a long trip away from these troubles,8.虽然病还没有完全康复，但他着手开始工作了。,Although he hadnt recovered from his illness,he set out to work.,9.直到被送到手术室时，他才明白遵守交通规则的重要性。,He didnt realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules until he was sent into the operating room.,/7/26,73,10.不要让你的皮肤直接暴晒在太阳下，否则，你会患皮肤病。,Dont have your skin exposed to the sun,or you will suffer skin disease.,11.伴随经济的飞速发展，中国在国际事务中起着越来越大的作用。,With the rapid development of economy,China is playing a greater role in international affairs.,12.我的工作如此紧张，以至于我都没时间休息。,My work is so intense that I even have no time to take a rest.,/7/26,74,二、英语多长句，汉语多短句,Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves.(1999,72),/7/26,75,三、英语多从句，汉语多分句,On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence,but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom he is being compared,and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.(,75),/7/26,76,Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves.(1999,72),人们对历史研究措施产生了爱好，这与其说是由于外部对历史作为一门知识学科的有效性提出了挑战，还不如说是由于历史学家内部发生了争执。,/7/26,77,On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence,but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom he is being compared,and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.(1992,75),总的来说，得出这样一种结论是由一定程度把握的，不过必须具有两个条件：一是可以假定这个孩子对测试的态度和与他相比的另一种孩子的态度相似；二是他并没有因缺乏别的孩子已掌握的有关知识而被扣分。,/7/26,78,2021/7/26,79,
