研究生英语翻译笔记

Chapter 1:Main issues of translation studies:1. Jacobson’s categories of translation:a. Intralingual;b. Interlingual;c. Intersemiotic (verbal- non-verbal).2.History of the discipline:a. From the late 18th to the 1960s – grammar-translation method (replaced by communicative approach in the 1960s and 1970s);b.The USA 1960s –translation workshop concept based on Richards’reading workshops and practical criticism approach that began in 1920s; running parallel to this approach was that of comparative literature;c.The USA 1930s-1960s/70s – contrastive analysis;d.More systematic, and mostly linguistic-oriented, approach 1950s-1960s:i.J.-P. Vinay and J. Darbelnet (French/English);ii. A. Malblanc (French/German);iii.G. Mounin (linguistic issues of translation);iv. E. Nida (based on Chomsky generative grammar).v.James S. Holmes’“The name and nature of translation studies”is considered to be the founding statement of a new discipline.vi.Hermans Manipulation Schoolvii.Vieira Brazilian cannibalist school Postcolonial theoryviii.Venuti cultural-studies-oriented analysisThe Holmes/Toury map of translation studies1:Chapter 2: Translation theory before the 20th century:Traduttore, traditore = the translator is a traitorChapter 3: Equivalence and equivalent effect:In the 1950s and 1960s the place of circular debates around literal and free translation took the new debate revolved around certain key linguistic issues, among them those of meaning and equivalence, discussed by R. Jakobson in 1959. Over the following 20 years many further attempts were made to define the nature of equivalence.Jakobson:1.Meaning: the signifier=the signal of the signified (the concept).2.There is no full equivalence between code-units of different languages.3.So, we should substitute not words, but messages.4.Only p oetry is considered ‘untranslatable’ and requires ‘creative transposition’.Nida’s ‘science of translating (subjective):1.Meaning:a.Linguistic;b.Referential (dictionary meaning);c.Emotive (connotative).2.Ways of determining meaning:a.Hierarchical structuring (animal dog, cow etc);ponential analysis (grandmother, mother, cousin etc);c.Semantic structure analysis (spirit can mean demon, angel, god, ghost, ethos, alcohol etc)meaning depending on context.3.3-stage system of translation (Chom sky’s influence: deep/surface structure of a language):SL1 (analysis) X (transfer) Y (restructuring) TL24.Equivalence:a.Formal (form and content);b.Dynamic (equivalent response of: t2 reader on t2 as t1 reader on t1) (closest naturalequivalent).5.Correspondence in meaning must have priority over correspondence in style.6.Reader-based orientation.主要理论1：对等和等效（1950s－1960s）1．代表人物（1）罗曼雅各布逊A．描写了翻译的三类型：语内翻译，语际翻译和符际翻译B．提出语际翻译指用一种语言替换另一种语言种的整个信息C．强调对等的差异性（2）尤金奈达A. 提出形式对等和动态对等B. 提出著名的读者反应理论C. 他的理论以乔姆斯基的转换生成语法为基础（3）皮特纽马克A．提出语义对等和交际对等（4）韦内科勒A．区分了对应和对等B．描写了五种对等：外延意义，隐含意义，文本规则，语用及形式对等Newmark’s semantic and communicative translation:1.Replaces Nida’s division with semantic (resembles formal equivalence) and communicative(resembles dynamic equivalence) translation.2.Nida’s division inoperant if the text is out of TL space and time.3.Dynamic equivalence: are readers ‘to be handed everything on a plate’?4.Semantic translation differs from literal in that it ‘respects context’, interp rets and explains(metaphors). Literal translation is to be the best approach in both semantic and communicative translation. If semantic translation would result in an ‘abnormal’ TT or would not secure equivalent effect in the TL, then communicative translation should win out.Tertium comparationis, an invariant against which 2 text segments can be measured to determine variation.Chapter 4: The translation shift approach:1.Vinay and Darbelnet’s taxonomy:a)Direct (=literal) translation:(1).Borrowing(2).Calque(3).literal translation (word-for-word)b).Oblique translation:(4).Transposition(5).modulation6(6)..equivalence(7).adaptationc)The 7 categories operate on 3 levels:1.the lexicon2. 2.syntactic structures3. 3.the message 9context)4. 4.word order and thematic structure5. 5.connectors [cohesive links, discourse markers, deixis (pronouns anddemonstrative pronouns) and punctuation]d)2 possibilities:1.servitude (obligatory 4 and 5)2. 2.option (non-obligatory)2.Catford’s linguis tic approach (shifts)a.Distinction between: formal correspondence (a particular ST-TT pair) and textualequivalence (a pair of lgs).b.When the 2 concepts diverge, a translation shift occurs –a departure from formalcorrespondence in the process of going from the SL to the TL. There are 2 kinds of shift:1. A level shift (sth is expressed by grammar in one lg and by lexis in another)2. A category shift:i.Structural shifts; ii.Class shifts (word category); iii.Unit/rank shifts (sentence, clause,group, word, morpheme);iv.Intra-system shifts (systems are similar, but not always corresponding).3. van Leuven-Zwart’s microlevel/macrolever translation shifts:a.The comparative model (a detailed comparison of ST and TT and classification of allthe microstructural shifts within sentences, clauses and phrases);b.The descriptive model (a macrostructural model, designed for the analysis oftranslated literature)Chapter 5: Functional theories of translation:K. Reiss’s text typesNord adds to 3 types of language function a fourth ‘phatic’ function, covering lg that establishes or maintains contact between parties involved in the communication (e.g. greetings).Holz-Manttari’s translational action model for non-literary translations with1.its roles and players:a The initiator;b b.The commissioner (contacts the translator);c.The ST producer;d.The TTproducer;e.The TT user;f.The TT receiver.2.Content:a Factual information; b.Overall communicative strategy.3.Form: a.Terminology; b.Cohesive elements.J. Vermeer’s skopos theory: knowing the purpose and the function of translation is crucial (adequacy over equivalence).Ch. Nord’s translation-oriented text analysis:1.2 kinds of translation: a.Documentary translation(a)reader knows that he’s reading a translation;(b)Instrumental translation (a reader doesn’t know that).2.3 aspects of functionalist approaches particularly useful in translator training:a)The importance of the translation commission;b)The role of ST analysis;c)The functional hierarchy of translation problemsChapter 6: Discourse and register approaches:Halliday’s model of language and discourse b ased on systemic functional grammar (lg=communication):Influence:House’s model of translation qu ality assessment:1.Scheme for analyzing and comparing original and translation texts:Translation: a.Overt;b.Covert.Baker’s text and pragmatic level analysis:1.Textual function2.Cohesion3.Pragmatics:a.Coherence (depends on receiver’s expectations and experience of theworld);b.Presupposition (what the speaker supposes a listener shouldknow);c.Implicature (what the speaker implies).Hatim and Mason’s semiotic level of context and discourse:Text elements:1.Stable (translated fairly literally);2.Dynamic (not).Chapter 7: Systems theories:脚注：1.What is being written about.2.Who is communicating and to whom.3.The form of communication e.g. writtenEven-Zohar’s polysystem theory: a literary work as apart of a literary system in the social, cultural, literary and historical framework. It’s important [for choosing the translation strategy] if translated literature has a primary or secondary position in given literature.Toury and descriptive translation studies (DTS):1.Situate the text within the target culture system, looking at its significance oracceptability;2. pare the ST and the TT for shifts, identifying relationships between ‘coupled pairs’of ST and TT segments, and attempting generalizations about the underlying concept of translation;3. 3.Draw implications for decision-making in future translating.Norms of translation behaviour can be reconstructed from:1.The examinations of texts;2. 2.The explicit statement made about norms by translators, publishers, reviewers and otherparticipants in the translation actNorms:1.Initial norm (general translator’s choice):a.Subjection to source culture norms adequate translation;b.Subjection to target culture norms acceptable translation.2.Preliminary norms:a.Translation policy (text selection);b.Directness of translation (ST TT; ST t2 TT).3.Operational norms (the presentation and linguistic matters of the TT):a.Matricial norms (completeness of TT);b.Textual-linguistic norms (TT linguistic material).‘Laws’ of translation:1.Of growing standardization (tending to TT common options);2.Of interference (ST options transferred to TT, negatively or positively).Chesterman’s translation norms:1.Product or expectancy norms;2. 2.Process or professional norms:a.The accountability norm (an ethical norm);b.The communication norm (a social norm);c.The‘relation’ norm (a linguistic norm).Other DTS models:1.Manipulation School (‘a continual interplay between theoretical models and practical casestudies’);mbert and van Gorp – the scheme for the comparison of the ST and TT literary systems andfor the description of relations within them:a.Preliminary data;b.Macro-level;c.Micro-level;d.Systemic context (data compared andnorms identified)Chapter 8 "Varieties of cultural studies" examines Lefevere (1992), who treats translation as "rewriting" and identifies ideological pressures on translated texts. This chapter also looks at the writing of Simon (1996) on gender in translation, and at postcolonial translation theories which stress the part that translation has played in the colonization process and the image of the colonized (cf. Bassnett and Trivedi 1999).Lefevere (1992) treats translation as "rewriting" and identifies ideological and poetological pressures on translated texts. Translation functions are controlled by the following factors:1.Professionals within the literary system;2.Patronage outside the literary system:a.The ideological component;b.The economic component;c.The status component.d.If a-c come from the same source – patronage is undifferentiated; if not – differentiated.3.The dominant poetics:a.Literary devices;b.The concept of the role of literature.Simon compares the status of translation throughout the centuries to that of women’s and presents pro-feminist methods in translation.Postcolonial translation theories:1.Spivak: ‘translationese’ eliminates the identity of politically less powerful individuals andcultures.2. 2.Spivak: compares the status of translation throughout the centuries to that of colonies.3.Power relations : trans lation as the colonizer’s device used against the colonized.4.S. Bassnett and H. Trivedi’s translational linked to transnatio nal (translation=battleground).Brazilian cannibalism: the colonizers and their lg are devoured, their life force invigorating the devourers, who transform it according to their needs.The Irish context: postcolonialism in Europe.Chapter 9: Translating the foreign:the (in)visibility of translation: A. Berman’s ‘negative analytic’ of translation that prevents the foreign coming thr ough. ‘Deforming tendencies’:1.Rationalization;2.Clarification;3.Expansion;4.Ennoblement;5.Qualitative impoverishment;6.Quantitative impoverishment;7.The destruction of rhythms;8.The destruction of underlying networks of signification;9.The destruction of linguistic patternings;10.The destruction of vernacular1 networks or their exoticization;11.The destruction of expressions and idioms;12.The effacement of the superimposition of languages.‘Positive analytic’ = literal translation.Venuti:1.The invisibility of the translator in contemporary Anglo-American culture.2. 2.Domestication (dominant in connection with the translator’s invisibility) –‘the authortowards the reader’.3. 3.Foreignization –‘the reader towards the writer’ – resistancy – minoritizing (desirable).4. 4.‘Call for action’ –‘visibility’ + ‘foreignization’.Chapter 10: Philosophical theories of translation:Steiner’s hermeneutic1 approach to translation as ‘the act of elicitation and appropriate transfer of meaning’. The parts of the hermeneutic moti on:1.Initiative trust;2. 2.Aggression (penetration);3. 3.Incorporation (embodiment);4. pensation (restitution)Ezra Pound’s energy of language: translation as a tool in the cultural struggle, and the revitalization of the past.W. Benjamin’s task of the translator: translation gives the original ‘continued life’; pure language = coexistence of SL and TL; literal rendering of the syntax.J. Derrida’s deconstruction: capturing the meaning? No stability in the signified-signifier (meaning-sign) relationship; the opposition between SL and TL.1.Letter=Judaism=justice;2.Spirit=Christianity=mercy.Chapter 11: Translation studies as an interdiscipline:M.

英语专业研究生考试笔记，英汉翻译笔记:6.词组的翻译英语专业研究生考试笔记，英汉翻译笔记：第六部分词组的翻译1.all＋抽象名词/抽象名词＋itself ＝very + adj.He was all gentleness to her.他对她非常温存。

To his superiors, he is humility itself。

对于长辈，他极为谦逊。

分析：该结构原来是表示某种性质达到极点的一种说法，有“非常”、“尽管”、“一味”、“尽”的含义，有时甚至可以译为“。

的化身”、“。

的具体化”。

普通复数名词用于“all”之后，也是表达这种概念。

He is all smiles.他一味地笑。

She is all eyes.她盯着看。

I am all anxiety.我真担心。

He is all attention.他全神贯注地听着。

2.Something (much) of / nothing (little) ofMr.Li is something of a philospher.李先生略具哲学家风范。

Mr. Wu is nothing of a musician.吴先生全无音乐家的风味。

Mr. Lu is very much of a poet.陆先生大有诗人气派。

Mr.Liu is little of a scholar.刘先生几无学者风度。

分析：此为表示“程度”的形容词短语，有时可以当作副词翻译。

Something of ＝to some extent（某程度），在问句和条件句中则用anyting of（略有、多少）。

nothing of译作“全无、毫无”。

相类似的情况：to be something of = to have something of + 名词＋in ＋代名词He is nothing in ability of an orator = He has nothing of an orator in his ability.他毫无演说家的才能。

翻译的定义：美国翻译理论家奈达说，翻译就是在译入语中用最切近而又自然的对应信息再现原语的信息，首先是在意义上，其次是在文体上，他还说翻译不止是一门科学，而且说到底完美的翻译永远是一种艺术。

翻译的标准，严复的信、达、雅。

鲁迅认为：凡是翻译，必须兼顾着两面，一当然力求其易解，一则保存着原作的风姿。

翻译的分类：就所涉及的语言来分可分为语内翻译和语外翻译。

就操作方式而言，可分为口译，笔译，机器翻译。

就翻译的文体而言，可分为实用文体和文学文体。

就翻译的活动的处理方式而言，可分为全译，编译，节译，摘译等。

结构对比：汉语意合重于形合，英语形合生于意合。

英语句子多前重心，汉语句子多后重心，英语有少用动词或使用其他手段表示动作意义的自然倾向，而汉语则有动辄使用动词的固有习惯。

英语的物称倾向十分明显。

英语被动语态的使用频率很高。

英语句子常常是环扣相嵌，盘根错节，句中有句，而汉语结构相对比较简单，多用积累式分句或独立的单句。

旅行通用语1 数十年来，法兰西语言研究院一直捍卫着法语的尊严。

几年前，由于法国人对英语词汇的入侵非常敏感，该机构颁布了净化法语的法律，其内容甚至涉及专业术语。

就拿波音747来说吧，现在法国人必须用法语词gors-porteur；表示出租的leasing也变成了credit-bail，此类例子不胜枚举，触及生活的方方面面。

法国总统希拉克很可能会继续加大力度，直至连英特网internet和字节流（信息组）byte stream 之类的词也找到相应的法语新词。

哎，真不知未来的法语会变成什么样。

2 不幸的是（或许并非不幸），英语没有受到如此的保护。

在美国，随处可见严重偏离英国标准英语的美式英语。

“honour”普遍被写成“honor”, “night”也变成了“nite”。

许多词意广为人知的英式英语单词被赋予新的解释，交流也变得有些困难。

比如说，汽车的行李箱“boot”变成了“trunk”（一个在英国指代树干的单词）；引擎盖“bonnet”变成了“hood”（英式英语中的风帽）；老式婴儿尿布“nappy”变成了“diaper”（英式英语中的菱格花纹织物）；婴儿小外套“matinee ja cket”也变成了“vest”（英国的内衣汗衫）。

显而易见，两国英语曾同出一源，而如今却将两国彼此隔离。

当然了，按美国人的观点，是英国人的语言表达出了问题。

3 实际使用中，甚至还有更糟的英语呢！只要你在外国旅游并注意一下菜单、海报、旅店、甚至当地日常生活中的英语，就可以证明过去的标准用语在这些地方已变得不伦不类，让我详例如下：4 旅行作家波洛.菲利浦曾不异笔墨地渲染自己的几番经历，我觉得该有更多的读者了解一下。

他提及某份荷兰的灯泡目录，上面对用户承诺有“a speedy execution”—快速处死（毫无疑问，候表达的应是“送货及时”）。

此外，东柏林的一个衣帽间告示要求客人“please hang yourself here”—请在这儿吊死自己（本想说的是“将衣帽挂在这儿”）。

英语句子简洁化方法：状从变介短动词名词化后置定从前置化删减重复多余次要信息从句化（找语义重心）(1)时间状语位于句首，无论英译汉还是汉译英，都处理为状语。

19世纪下半叶的中国历史就这样充满了屈辱。

In the second half of the nineteenth century, China's history was full of such humuliations.(2) 偏正结构变主谓结构gleaming eyes 双眼炯炯有神偏正结构的互换，在文学英语中常用the treasury of silt宝贵的沙子(3)英译汉时，宾语前缺少谓语，增加动词。

作者给的例句是He wears a coat, a hat and a scarf.(4)同位语从句的翻译作者给出两种方法，一是翻译成主谓结构，而是翻译成顶真结构Beijing, the capital of China, is a very beautiful city.北京是中国的首都，它十分美丽。

(5)“抽象名词有动词词根，翻译为动词”The suggestion of mine is that我建议····(6)形容词翻译时一般不用其原本的意思，而用其延伸含义。

(7)Chow was a quite and thoughtful man周恩来举止优雅，代人体贴。

(8)长的形容词和副词（短语）可以单独成句He tried to piece the broken vase together in vain.他试着要把破碎的花瓶拼装一起，但是怎么拼也拼不起来了。

9、英译汉时，增词较多，汉译英时，减词较多10、省略范畴词中国有12亿多人口，陆地自然资源人均占有量低于世界平均水平。

China has a population of more than 1.2 billion, and its land natural resources per capita are lower than the world average.字面上的“水平”省略了。

考研英汉翻译笔记之分词短语1/现在分词短语：现在分词短语必须放在所修饰名词的后面，它相当于一个包含一般时或进行时谓语的从句（完成分词不能这样用）：It is a question puzzling (=that puzzles) many people.(带有宾语）（比较：It is a puzzling question.)He was a businessman growing(=that grew ) rich in recent years.(带有补语)（比较：He is a growing boy.)The gentleman talking (=who is talking ) so loudly is my uncle.(带有副词) （比较：Can you read her talking eyes?)The lady visiting (=who visited) us from time to time taught us French. (带有副词短语）The girl coming to learn music is only siz years old. (带有不定式作状语）"Anybody getting up as soon as the cock crows will be rewarded," said my father. (带有状语从句）2/过去分词短语：过去分词短语也必须放在所修饰的名词后面，它相当于一个被包含有被动谓语的定语从句，这个谓语可以是完成时态，也可以是一般时态。

若分词是被动进行形式（即由being开头的短语），这个谓语又可以是进行时态。

Dogs cruelly treated (=which have been cruelly treated ) will be vicious. (带有副词）The woman abandoned (=who had been abandoned) by her husband called on me one day. （带有副词短语）I drink water boiled (=which has been boiled) at least ten minutes.Book called (=that are called ) the comics may be harmful to children. (带有补语）Boys disciplined (=who are disciplined) when they are yong will become good citizens. (带有状语从句）I shall study the subject being studied (=which is being studied) by so many students. (带有being)The text-book being used (=which is being used) in this school is "Let Us Learn French".c)前面带as的分词连词as可以用在分词前面The news as arriving (=The news as it arrives, Such news as arrives( today is not believable. (There may be different news).The results as proclaimed (=The results as they have been proclaimed, Such results as have been proclaimed) in today's newspaper are encouraging.His ability as displayed during the last three months was inadequate.I will tell you a story as told by my mother.b.作主语补语的分词现在分词和过去分词都可以用在is,was,grow,feel这类系动词后做补语（亦称表语）。

一：考研翻译中英汉语言特点1）形合与意合英语：形合（通过形式上紧密结合在一起的）汉语：意合（通过意义上紧密结合在一起的）翻译时，先看一句话的连接词与引导词，理解它的语法结构和逻辑结构。

研究生英语翻译总结写在开头的话：老师讲的实在是太随心所欲了，所以按照自己的理解整理了遍，希望可以帮到同学们~ ~第一讲1、形合意合原文：Presumably, he needed to feel cornered so he could outperform everyone, almost as though he enjoyed overcoming adversity and showing off his brilliance and subtlety.译文1：据推测，他需要感到走投无路，这样，他就能超越其他人，就像他很享受克服逆境和炫耀自己的才华和敏锐。

译文2：情况或许是这样：他需要感到被别人逼到绝境，这样才好背水一战，胜人一筹，就仿佛他乐于战胜逆境，以显示自己的聪明才智一般。

思考：“cornered”和“overcoming adversity”逻辑吻合，翻译成“被逼到角落（绝境）”2、语序（调序）原文：You must fix in mind the symbols and formulas , definitions and laws of physics, no matter how complex they may be when you come in contact with them, in order that you may understand the subject better and lay a solid foundation for further study.译文：为了更好地理解物理学并为以后的学习打下牢固的基础，遇到物理学符号、公式、定义和定律时，不管它们多么复杂，你都必须牢记。

思考：①【the symbols and formulas , definitions and laws】of physicsphsics限定前面的四个名词，所以不能翻译成符号、公式、定义和物理学定律②句序重组先交代目的，所以in order that……后面部分提前3、增词原文：没有调查研究就没有发言权。
