第九章第九章 被动语态翻译被动语态翻译 Chapter Nine Passive Voice in English-Chinese Translation 第1页 英语一个显著特点是广泛使用被动语态，在科技文章中尤为如此。以下面一段英语文章为例，在14个谓语动词中，13个使用是被动语态。As oil is found deep in the ground,its presence cannot be determined by a study of the surface.Consequently,a geological survey of the underground rock structure must be carried out.If it is thought that the rocks in a certain area contain oil,a“drilling rig（钻塔）”is assembled（装配）.The most obvious part of a drilling rig is called“a derrick（油井铁架塔）”.It is used to lift sections of pipe,第2页接上文which are lowered into the hole made by the drill.As the hole is being drilled(钻孔）,a steel pipe is pushed down to prevent the sides from falling in.If oil is struck,a cover is firmly fixed to the top of the pipe and the oil is allowed to escape through a series of valves.第3页Comparison between the English Version and the Chinese Version of the paragraph:As oil is found deep in the ground,its presence cannot be determined by a study of the surface.因为石油深埋地下，靠研究地面，不能确定石油有没有。Consequently,a geological survey of the underground rock structure must be carried out.所以，对地下岩层结构必须进行地质勘探。If it is thought that the rocks in a certain area contain oil,a“drilling rig（钻塔）”is assembled.假如认为某地域岩层含石油，则在该处安装钻机。The most obvious part of drilling rig is called“a derrick（油井铁架塔）”.钻机中最显眼部件叫井架。第4页It is used to lift sections of pipe,which are lowered into the hole made by the drill.井架用来吊升分节油管，把油管放入由钻头打出孔中。As the hole is being drilled,a steel pipe is pushed down to prevent the sides from falling in.当孔钻成时，放入钢管预防孔壁坍塌。If oil is struck,a cover is firmly fixed to the top of the pipe and the oil is allowed to escape through a series of valves.假如发觉石油，则在油管顶部紧固地加盖，使石油经过一系列阀门流出。第5页 经过对比能够看出：英文翻译成汉字时，汉字中极少使用被动语态;英语中含有被动语态句子在汉语翻译过程中要变成主动句，这么才能符合汉语译文习惯。英语被动语态通惯用于以下5种情况：主语不明或无须提及 Rice is chiefly grown in the south.为特殊目标强调动作实施 The song was composed by a worker.第6页为文体需要防止结构转换造成衔接不妥 He appeared on the stage and was warmly applauded by the audience.用于礼貌与修辞被动态 It is generally considered not advisable to act that way.无须提及动作实施者 Visitors are requested not to touch the exhibits.第7页1.英语被动句译成汉语主动句 将英语被动句译成汉语主动句主要有四种方法：1.1.原文中主语在译文中仍作主语，但不原文中主语在译文中仍作主语，但不表示被动意义。表示被动意义。Language is shaped by,and shapes,human thought.语言由人思想形成，并影响人思想。Levis jeans were first introduced

Ten Translation of English Clauses英语从句翻译英语从句翻译第22页 英语汉语都有复合句。英语复合句由主句和从句构成，英语从句包含定语从句，名词性从句，状语从句，其中一些从句翻译可按原文语序处理，但大部分从句翻译要靠句子合并和语序调整。汉语复合句主要分为联合复合句和偏正复合句两类。翻译汉语复合句时，关键在于抓住句子重心，将主要信息译成英语主句，其余部分视情况可分别用分词、动名词、不定式、介词短语等来翻译。与英语复合句相比，汉语句子较为简短、零碎、语序较为固定，翻译时要视情况把复杂冗长英语复合句转化为汉语流水句。下面我们分别学习各种从句翻译方法。第23页1.定语从句翻译 Translation of Attributive Clause 英语中定语从句分为限定性和非限定性定语从句两种。二者之间区分在于限制意义是强还是弱，前者限制意义很强，后者则很弱。从英汉定语结构对比能够看出，英语定语从句绝大部分置于被修饰词语之后，而汉语中全部定语成份都置于被修饰词语之前，不包括限制意义强弱。所以，在英译汉时，英语定语从句长句不宜译成汉语中定语，最有效方法是将其化整为零，分成一个个小短句分别处理。而假如英语定语从句较短，则能够译成汉语定语。英语定语从句翻译方法普通分为三种：组正当，分译法和顺承法。第24页1.1.组正当组正当（Combination）英语中限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句都能够采取组正当进行翻译。这种翻译法能够避免涣散句子结构和上下衔接。组正当就是把复杂英语定语从句译成“”结构。This is the reservoir that we built after the flood last year.这就是去年洪水过后我们修建水库。第25页 “”结构置于它所修饰名词之前，作名词定语。比如：In addition to visible trade,which involves the importing and exporting of tangible goods,there is also invisible trade,which involves the exchange of services between nations.除了这种进出口有形商品有形贸易以外，还有一个国与国之间进行交换服务无形贸易。第26页1.2.分译法分译法（Division）分译法就是把冗长复杂定语从句分而译之。它可分为三种：（1）主、从句分开翻译，重复先行词）主、从句分开翻译，重复先行词 Day light comes from the sun,which is a mass of hot,glowing gas.日光来自太阳，太阳是一团炽热发光气体。第27页Another Example:But the important thing to remember is that in the modern world we must give people skills which will prepare them for the changingworld of manufacturing and production whichis now upon us.我们必须向人们传授技术本事，掌握这些技术本领就能够使他们为应对我们眼下所面临不停改变着生产制造领域做好准备。第28页（2）主、从句分开翻译，不重复先行词）主、从句分开翻译，不重复先行词She sent me an English-Chinese dictionary,which I kept to this day.她送给我一本英汉词典，我一直保留到今天。The Multilateral Agreement on Investment(MAI)aims to achieve a situation where foreign investors are not discriminated against,but they are still subject to the same substantive laws and regulations that apply to domestic investors.多边投资协定目标是要到达这么一个境界外国投资者不受歧视，但他们仍和国内投资者一样要受实体法规管制。第29页3)主、从句分开翻译主、从句分开翻译,把把“which”转换为人转换为人称代词或指示代词称代词或指示代词Electronic computer,which makes it possible to free man from the labor of complex computation,has found wide application in engineering.电子计算机已在工程行业广泛应用，它使人们能够摆脱复杂计算工作。They turned a deaf ear to our demands,which enraged all of us.他们对我们要求置若罔闻，这使我们很生气。第30页1.3.顺承法顺承法/混正当混正当(Mixture)这种翻译方法是将英语主句和定语从句合为一个汉字句子，按照汉字次序翻译出来。这类方法多用于“there be”句型翻译。We used a plane of which almost every part carried some identification of national identity.我们驾驶飞机几乎每一个部件都有国籍一些标志。There are some metals which possess the power to conduct electricity and the ability to be magnetized.一些金属既能导电，又能被磁化第31页1.4.定语从句译成状语从句定语从句译成状语从句 一些定语从句在复合句中含有状语从句作用，与主句有表示原因，结果，目标，时间，条件，让步等逻辑关系。在翻译这类句子时，要考虑译成对应状语从句。如：He would have to be careful not to offend the foreman,who would give him the sack（粗布袋，辞退）at any time.他得小心慎重，不敢得罪工头，因为工头随时都可以炒他鱿鱼。（原因）第32页There is no bad habit that may not be cured by a strong willpower.只要有坚强意志，就没有克服不了坏习惯。（条件）The scientist,who was dog-tired（筋疲力尽）,went on with the experiment.那位科学家即使已筋疲力尽，但仍继续进行试验。（让步）Private schools in the United States have a wide range of programs that are offered to meet the needs of certain students.美国私立学校课程种类繁多，从而满足一些学生不一样要求。（目标）第33页2.英语名词从句翻译 英语名词从句可分为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句四大类。这些从句翻译普通按照原文语序处理。不过，在翻译以“it”为形式主语或形式宾语主语从句或宾语从句时，语序往往应作调整。我们重点选择同位语从句翻译讲解。第34页 英语中同位语从句是一个名词性从句。它有别于定语从句。首先，通常它多用 that 引导；其次，同位语从句前边名词往往是一个表示某种概念概括性名词，如 view,hope,belief,idea,order,suggestion,question,conviction,message等；再者，同位语从句所阐述内容是对它前面那个概括性名词详细化。同位语从句翻译主要有三种方法：第35页2.1.保持原来语序保持原来语序She had no idea why she thought of him suddenly.她不明白自己为何突然想起他。It does not alter the fact that he is the man responsible for the delay.拖延应由他负责这个事实是改变不了。The fact that the gravity of the earth pulls everything towards the center of the earth explains many things.地球引力把一切东西都吸引向地心这一事实解释了许多现象。第36页2.2.先把同位语从句前面名词翻译成：先把同位语从句前面名词翻译成：“这这样样/这种这种/这一观点这一观点/希望希望/信念信念/主意主意 /命令等命令等,然后在该短语后加然后在该短语后加“：”,接着翻译同位语本身。接着翻译同位语本身。The liberalization debate is a debate over ideas and ideals,and it matters enormously that we spread the message that market liberalization forms part of the answer to the concern of citizens,rather than being a cause of their misgivings.自由化辩论是一场理念与理想辩论，我们要传播这么信息：市场自由化是处理公民忧虑部分答案而不是造成他们担忧原因。第37页Another example：Canada has long subscribed to（同意）the view that no state should use its territory or allow it to be used in such a way as to injure the environment of another state or of the“international commons”.长久以来，加拿大一直持这么一个观点：任何国家都不应该利用自己领土或允许别国利用其领土来破坏另一国家或“国际社会”环境。第38页2.3.在观点在观点/希望希望/信念信念/主意主意 /命令等之后使用逗命令等之后使用逗号，接下去以号，接下去以“即即”（也就是）翻译同位语从也就是）翻译同位语从句。句。Not long ago the scientists made an exciting discovery that this“waste”material could be turned into plastics.很快前，科学家做出了激感人心重大发觉，即废物能够变成塑料。I will share with President Carter my conclusion that our two countries are destined to grow together for our mutual benefit and for the benefit of all mankind.我要把我结论告诉卡特总统，即为了我们两国人民利益，为了全人类利益，我们两国一定会共同发展。第39页3.状语从句翻译状语从句翻译 英语状语从句依据功效不一样可分为时间、地点、原因、条件、让步、方式、目标等状语从句，翻译关键在于要处理好主从句之间逻辑关系，把它们放在适当位置。其方法以下：3.1.保持原从句位置不变保持原从句位置不变We will let you use the room provided that you keep it clean and tidy.(条件状从）我们能够让你使用这房间，假如你能保持房屋清洁话。第40页Exercise is as good a way as any to lose unwanted weight.(比较状从）运动是跟其它减肥方法一样好方法。Disabled as was Paul,he tried his best to serve the people.（让步状从）保罗即使残疾，他仍竭尽全力为人民服务。Wuhan lies where the Yangtze and Han River meet.(地点状从）武汉位于长江和汉水交叉处。3.2.从句位于主句前从句位于主句前We can certainly overcome the difficulties as long as we are closely united.只要我们紧密团结，就一定能克服困难。(条件状从）第41页3.3.将一个状语从句转换成其它种类状语从句将一个状语从句转换成其它种类状语从句Though not at substance yet in form,economic reforms are a nation-wide revolution.假如不就内容而就形式而言，经济改革是一场全国范围革命。(让步 条件）I invite your urgent and immediate cooperation in the work before the conflict between two nations enters a more dangerous phase.我请求你们对工作给予刻不容缓合作，以免两国间冲突进入更危险阶段。(时间 目标）第42页Skill and patience will succeed where force fails.在体力达不到时，技巧和耐心会帮人成功。(地点时间）If children are so well able to learn their mother tongue,it is putting themselves into the sea of language instead of reading a few textbooks only.孩子们之所以把母语学得很好，恰恰是因为他们投身于语言海洋之中，而不单单是读几本教材而已。(条件 结果）Why did you give up when you could make it?既然你能成功，为何还要放弃呢？(时间 原因）第43页Assignments:1.Do Exercise One of Page 99.2.Pick out the appositive clauses from the paragraph in Exercise Two of Page 99 and copy their Chinese translation.3.Pick out the adverbial clauses from the three paragraphs in Exercise Three of Page 99 and copy their Chinese translation.第44页第十一章第十一章 英语难句和长句翻译英语难句和长句翻译Translation of Long and Difficult Sentences 翻译长句时，首先要搞清原文句法结构，找出整个句子中心内容及其各层 意思，然后分析几层意思之间相互逻辑关系（因果、时间顺序），再按照汉语特点和表示方式，正确地译出原文意思，不拘泥于原文形式。长句译法主要有以下几个：（一）次序法；（二）逆序法；（三）分译法；（四）综正当。第45页1.次序法（次序法（Keep the Original Sequence）有些英语长句所叙述一连串动作上基本上是按动作发生时间先后安排，也有些按照英语长句内容逻辑关系安排，这与汉语表示方法比较一致，所以翻译时普通可按原文次序译出。看下面例子：第46页 even if she had long lost blue eyed,flower-like charm,the cool slim purity of face and form,the apple-blossom coloring which had so swiftly and oddly affected Ashurst twenty six years ago,she was still at forty-three a comely(清秀，标致）and faithful companion,whose cheeks were faintly（微弱地）mottled（斑驳，杂色）,and whose grey-blue eyes has acquired a certain fullness.译文：假如说她早已失掉了那蔚蓝色眼睛、花儿般魅力，也失掉了她脸儿和身段那种玉洁冰清、苗条多姿气质和那苹果似颜色二十六年前这种花容月貌曾那样快速而奇妙地影响过艾舍斯特那么在四十三岁今天，她依旧是个好看而忠实伴侣，不过两颊淡淡地有点儿班驳，而灰蓝眼睛也已经有点儿饱满了。第47页2.逆序法（逆序法（Reversing）有些英语长句表示次序与汉语表示习惯不一样，甚至完全相反，这时就必须从原文后面译起，逆着原文次序翻译。比如：第48页 Time goes fast for one who has a sense of beauty,when there are pretty children in a pool and a young Diana on the edge,to receive with wonder anything you can catch!按照汉语先发生事先叙述，以及条件在先结果在后习惯，这个句子可逆着原文次序译出。译文：当你跟可爱孩子们站在池子里，又有个年轻狄安娜在池边好奇地接收你捉来任何东西时候，假如你知道什么叫美话，时间是过得很快！第49页 It was our view that the United States could be effective in both the tasks outlined by the president-that is,of ending hostilities as well as of making a contribution to a permanent peace in the Middle East if we conducted ourselves so that we could remain in permanent contact with all of these elements in the equation.译文：译文：假如我们采取行动方便能够继续与中东问题各方一直保持接触，那么我们美国就能有效地担当起总统所提出两项任务，那就是在中东结束敌对行动以及对该地域永久和平作出贡献。这就是我们观点。第50页3.分译法分译法/拆译法拆译法(Splitting)拆译是指原文句子过长，同时又含有多层意思，而主句和从句或修饰部分之间关系又不很紧密，假如在译文中用一个句子对原文进行翻译，反而会引发句意混乱，这时就需要拆译。拆译目标是为了使翻译句子意思表示清楚明了。In the first half of this century Shanghai served as the industrial,trade,financial and commercial center of the country,which attracted many foreign investors as a mysterious oriental city and an adventurers paradise.译文：译文：本世纪上半叶上海曾经是中国工业、贸易、金融和商业中心，有着远东大都会浪漫传奇历史，吸引过不少外来投资者，因而一度成为“冒险家乐园”。第51页 This land,which once barred（阻挡）the way of weary travelers,has now become a land for winter and summer vacations,a land of magic and wonder.译文：译文：这个地方现在已经成了冬夏两季休假圣地，风光景物，蔚为奇观，而从前,精疲力竭旅客只能到此止步。第52页4.综正当综正当(comprehensive method)有些英语长句子顺译感觉不便，分译也有困难，这时就应仔细推敲，或按时间先后，或按逻辑次序，有顺有逆、有主有次地对全句进行综合处理。看下面例子：第53页 What the New Yorkers would find missing is what many outsiders find oppressive（压制，沉重）and distasteful（厌恶）about New York-its rawness,tension，urgency，its bracing competitiveness，the rigor of its judgment and the congested（拥挤，堵塞）,democratic presence of so
