汉语量词与英文用法对照(Comparison between Chinese Words of Measurement and Their English Equivalents)     量词是现代汉语11类词中的一种,运用非常普遍,大约有500多个量词。除了表“量”以外,它的一个显著特点就是习惯搭配。即使是华人也有弄错的时候,学中文的外国人更是头疼。所以正确认识量词,准确翻译汉语量词也是很重要的。英语中没有像汉语这样的“量词”分类,但有类似的用法和修辞结构,如quantitive determinatives(量词限定词),portative(量词),quantifiers(量词)。它们之间有相同之处,但更多的是差异。因而,本节以一定的版面来分析其不同结构和用法,不过,更多的还是靠读者自己潜心收集认识,才能掌握如何翻译。   1、一群     一群人  a crowd/group/multitude/throng/army/team/class of people;a gang/swarm/horde/pack/band of people(in a derogatory way)   troop 通常指聚在一起活动的、生气勃勃的一群人。如:   a troop of demonstrators/shoppers/visitors   bevy 特指女性的“一群”,有时指鸟类,尤指鹌鹑或云雀。如:   a bevy of actresses/young women/ladies/shop girls/quails   表贬义的“一群”有:a mob of angry people/rioters/slaves/liars/blackguards   horde 原意为游牧部落,通常含有轻蔑色彩:   a horde of lazy-bones/swindlers/locusts/hooligans   band;gang 常指“帮”:     a band of robbers/gangsters/thieves/outlaws     a gang of criminals/slaves/prisoners     一群牛、象、马、天鹅 a herd of cattle/elephants/horses/swans     一群鸟 a flock of birds/geese/hens/goats/swallows/sheep/chickens     一群猎狗 a pack of hounds/wolves/grouse     一群狐狸 a skulk of foxes     一群狮子 a pride of lions     一群星星 a cluster of stars     一群鱼 a school/shoal of fish/shrimps     一群马 a stud/drove of horses     一群鹅 a gaggle/flock of geese     一群蚊子/蝴蝶 a swarm of mosquitoes/butterflies     一群(窝)蚂蚁 a colony of ants/bees     一群建筑物 a clump/complex of buildings   2、一丝/点/层/片     一片草皮 a chunk of turf     一丝睡意 a wink of sleep     一丝怀疑 a shadow of doubt     一点点工作 a stroke of work     一线未来之光 a glimpse of future     一缕月光 a streak of moonlight/amber(fig)     一丝绿意;一片绿色 a tint of green     一片心意 a small token of our hearts     一丝嫉妒;一阵窘迫 a slight twinge of jealousy/embarrassment     一丝恻隐之心 a sign of sympathy for...     一丝懊悔 a slight twinge of remorse     一层霜/雪/糖霜 a layer of frost/snow/cream     一丝失望的眼神 a flicker of disappointment     (剩下)一口气/一丝气 a spark/breath of life     一丝失望的情绪 a taint/faint of disappointment     一片漆黑 completely dark;dismal night;pitch dark     一片汪洋 a flood of  water   3、英译“一阵”,颇有学问,且看以下译例     (突然爆发出的)一阵哭泣/喝彩/炮击/雷声     a burst of tears/cheers/gunfire/thunder     (量如洪水的)一阵泪雨/瓢泼大雨/夸夸其谈     a flood of tears/rain/boasts   少量或稀疏的     一阵(小)雨/射击 a spatter of rain/bullets      一阵稀疏的掌声/喝彩 a spatter of applause/cheers   声响很大的        一阵隆隆的炮声/雷声 a peal of artillery/thunder   突然而猛烈的     一阵暴雨/狂风/烈火 a gust/blast of rain/wind/flame   持续短暂的     一阵怒气/激情/咳嗽 a fit of anger/passion/coughing     一阵呕吐 a vomiting fit   持续一段时间的     一阵厄运/暑热 a spell of bad luck/summer heat     一阵寒潮 a cold spell of weather     一阵昏厥 a fainting spell     (针捻刀刺般的)一阵内疚/牙痛/风湿痛 a twinge of remorse/toothache/rheumatism     一阵尴尬 a twinge of embarrassment     (抽搐或颤抖的)一阵痛苦/伤心/咳嗽/激动 a spasm of pain/grief/coughing/excitement   雹打雨淋般的     一阵轰炸/打击/咒骂 a hail of bombs/blows/curse     一阵弹雨/批评 a shower of bullets/criticism   更多的例子     一阵欢乐 an agony of joy     一阵子爱意 a flush of love     一点点工作 a stroke of work     一阵心脏病发作 a stroke of heart attack     一点点满足 a crumb of satisfaction     一种混乱的政治局面 a chaos of politics   4、“一阵”为何有这么多不同的译法   其实原因很简单,汉语“一阵”这个数量词不含修辞色彩,可用于各类描述;而在英语中,“一阵”这个概念则是由许多不同的名词来表述的,而且这些词一般分别具有不同的修辞色彩。如:     spatter “少量”,“稀疏”之义;     peal 专指一阵响亮或轰鸣的声音;     twinge 特指肉体或心灵上的一阵剧烈的刺痛;     burst 泛指突然爆发出的一阵,有突如其来之感;     hail 和shower的比喻色彩也很浓,有雹打雨淋之感;     spell常用于描述天气、疾病等,表持续一阵子;     flood一词比喻色彩浓厚,给人以量如洪水,滔滔不绝之感;     gust则专指风、雨、雹、火、烟等的突然而猛烈的一阵。也可用喻感情的猛烈进发;     fit常指持续时间短暂的一阵——尤指疾病的短暂发作或感情的短暂进发;     spasm原指痉挛,抽搐,用于动作、感情的一阵突发时,表抽搐或浑身颤抖之感。   由此可见,英译“一阵”,宜细心推敲,酌情翻译。   5、其他类似的汉译英所用的修辞性的用法   a)暗喻Metaphor     一串香蕉a hand of bananas     颗颗汗珠beads of sweat     一长串汽车a string of cars     很大的朋友圈a large circle of friends   b)借代Metonymy     一串珍珠  a rope of pearls     一炉钢 a heat of steel     一年三熟  three crops a year     一大群飞机 a cloud of planes     林立的烟囱 a forest of chimneys     一片沙滩 a beach of sands   c)夸张Hyperbole     多如牛毛的问题 a sea of troubles     一大笔钱 a pile of money     勃然大怒 a wave of anger     开怀大笑 gales of laughter
