《世纪商务英语》翻译讲义AdvertisementsUnit 7 Advertisements1.Adverting is a way of bringing information to the public for the purpose of selling a product, a service, an idea, or an event. The information is transmitted by means of the printed word or even the air. It may be presented as a simple statement of fact, or, as is more frequently the case, it may be offered in colorful or even emotional language. All advertising is intended to stimulate people to do some specific thing, such as buying a product, ordering a service, joining an organization, attending a meeting, or thinking sympathetically about a situation. Each advertising is paid for by a person, a group, an organization, or a business enterprise seeking to advance his or its goals.Consumer advertising can be directed to different parts of a market. For example, producers advertise through magazines and radio and television programs that appeal to the portion of the market they wish to reach. A cereal manufacturer would schedule commercials for television cartoon shows in order to make children aware of a product. A tire maker would use air ads during sporting events to appeal to the adult male audience.Trade advertising is aimed at middlemen of all kinds. Trade ads try to persuade wholesalers and retailers to stock specific goods. Industrial advertising is directed to producers of manufactured goods. Agricultural advertising goes to the agricultural producers. Professional advertising is aimed at people such as doctors, teachers and architects, who recommend products but do not purchase them directly./doc/a6dbcee8dd3383c4bb4cd2fa.html nguage features(1)Verbs, adjs, pronouns, coinageNestle Ice Cream: Take time to indulge!

高中英语选必四U2课文翻译和词汇一、课文翻译Effective communication有效沟通If you heard someone shout, “Hey you!” from across the room, how would you react? Just these two words can carry much information.They could be interpreted as a welcoming greeting from a close friend, especially if accompanied by a gentle smile.When spoken by a stranger, they can function as a means of attracting your attention.Much of what we communicate is dependent not only on the words we use, but also on how we use them.So, let’s look a little deep er into the topic of communication.如果你听到有人喊:“嘿,你! ,你会有什么反应? 仅仅这两个词就能传达很多信息。
这句话可以被理解为来自亲密朋友的欢迎问候,尤其是伴随着温柔的微笑。
当陌生人和你说话时,它们可以作为一种吸引你注意力的方式。
我们交流的内容不仅取决于我们使用的词语,还取决于我们如何使用它们。
所以,让我们更深入地了解一下沟通这个话题。
Communication is the exchange of information between a sender and a receiver.The sender encodes a message and sends it face to face, or through video,telephone, mail or social media.This message is then received and decoded by the receiver.In response, the receiver sends an encoded message back, which is referred to as feedback.This feedback is decoded by the original sender and the entirecycle repeats itself until they have finished communicating.沟通是发送者和接收者之间的信息交换。
高考英语翻译讲义:无灵主语翻译技巧【外刊引入】The 1900s brought a different sort of mass relocation, as millions of black Americans moved from South to North in search of opportunity, and reprieve from intolerance.这句话属于典型的无灵主语,主语是时间The 1900s,谓语动词bring通常是人发出的动作。
假使我们在高考中遇到这类无灵主语句式,该怎样翻译呢?*这份讲义,以无灵主语的用法及翻译为主,适合上海翻译/新高考地区读后续写备考的学生们使用。
英语中的非人称主语句及其翻译思维与语言存在着一定的联系:思维决定语言的表达方式,语言映射出某种文化。
中西方思维不同,所以中英文表达也存在差异。
英语中有一种用法,叫无灵主语,也就是某个句子采用无灵主语(inanimate subject)+有灵动词(animate verb)的组合,这种句子也叫非人称主语句。
无灵主语表示抽象概念、心理感觉、事物名称或时间地点等,有灵动词表示人或社会团体的动作或行为,这种句子有很强的拟人化(personification)修辞色彩。
1. 时间名词作主语,与之搭配的动词一般和人的视觉有关,如:see,witness,find等。
Last year saw the occurrence of a number of public safety incidents and major workplace accidents.去年发生了多起公共安全事件和重大生产安全事故。
这样的句型相信大家在高考阅读中经常会见到,英文这样用使句子更生动活泼,也是一种句型灵活使用的表现。
翻译思维:把作主语的时间转译成时间状语,译为在什么时候发生了什么事。
saw千万不要翻译为看见,通常会直接忽略掉saw。
代词的增减英译汉时很多代词可以省略,而汉译英时则根据英语的行文需要增加适当的代词。
7. Calmly, Mother looked around before she turned back fearlessly, closing the door behind her and dashed to the window.母亲镇定地环顾四周,然后毫不畏惧地转身回到屋里,顺手关上门,一个箭步奔到窗口。
8. I shall take it as axiomatic that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative.译文一: 我认为人类到那时将会选择后者,这一点是不言而喻的。
译文二:不消说,那时人类将会选择后者。
9. In order to get a great amount of water power, we need large pressure and current.要得到巨大的水力,就需要高水压和大水量。
10. In the giraffe¡¯s neck, there are lots of muscles that flex and relax repeatedly as the animal moves its head and sucks up drinking water.长颈鹿移动头部喝水时,脖子里有很多肌肉会反复地收紧和放松。
11.她懒洋洋地站起来,估量丈夫不会再回来额。
Lazily she rose. Her husband probably would not come home, she supposed.12. 梅春姐用手护着头,紧紧地缩着她的身子。
Meichun, protecting her head with her arms, contracted her body.介词的增减13)She was one of my colleagues at the university at which I taught.她是我任教的那所大学的同事。
考博英语英译汉应试技巧与对策Test Analysis英语和汉语是两种完全不同的语言,英译汉不是简单的词义转换,而是一个极其复杂的理解与表达的过程。
历年考博英语多数给出一篇英语文章,从中划出句式相对复杂,长度相对长的句子来给考生翻译,有时会让考生翻译一小段的英语段落。
英译汉最终归结到句子在文章中的翻译。
“四步定位翻译法”,即结构分析——句子切分——词义推敲——检查核对将知道考生顺利地完成任务。
一、结构分析正是因为英语重结构、多长句、多从句,结构分析是做好翻译的第一步。
所谓结构分析,一是判断划线部分是什么句型,二是弄清句子的主干在哪里、有什么样的修饰语以及词与词之间是什么关系。
我们把英语句型主要分两大类:简单句和复杂句。
凡是没有从句的句子都称之为简单句;凡是有从句的句子,就称之为复合句。
无论是主句还是从句,基本句型有下面五种:1、主语+谓语2、主语+谓语+宾语3、主语+系动词+表语4、主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语5、主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语判断英语句子是什么句型有一个很简单的方法,那就是看句中有几个谓语动词:如果只有一个谓语动词,那肯定是简单句;如果有一个以上的谓语动词,有两种可能:一是动词并列作谓语,标志是第二个动词或最后一个动词前有并列连词and/or/but“二是有从句出现,标志是有从句引导词(有时可能会省略从句引导词)。
英译汉五个划线句子一般有1~2个简单句,3~4个复合句。
如果是简单句,修饰语可能会有些复杂;如果是复合句,从句往往会有一定的难度。
通过结构分析,可以弄清句子的结构特点,从而对整个句子的大意有所了解。
如果说整个句子的翻译是建立一座大厦的话,那么结构分析就是首先搭一个架子。
二、句子切分英语句子的结构特点不仅为结构分析提供了方便,而且还使句子切分成为可靠:所谓切分,就是按意群用斜线(/)将一个长句切成好几段。
一般情况下,每个切分段都有一个难点,这样既能突出每个重点,又能降低每个难点的难度,是初学翻译者须学会的一种方法。
第九讲高中英语翻译技巧与能力训练(上)[讲义]高考英语翻译技巧与能力训练高考英语中的翻译(中译英)题要求考生能应用所学过的语法和词汇来准确地表达思想,是一种要求相当高的考查形式。
要求考生把中文的句子译成通顺的、语法结构正确的、符合英语表达适应的英语句子,并能准确地传达中文句子中的每一具信息。
该题型全面地考查学生英语词汇、语法等知识的综合运用能力,它对学生的动词时态、语态、名词的单复数、冠词、形容词、副词、介词等应用能力,还对学生的词组、句型、句子结构等举行了全面考查。
翻译别仅在高考英语主观题中占别小的比例,而且翻译能力还直截了当妨碍考生在作文中的表现。
高考评分标准: 1.每题中单词拼写、标点符号、大小写错误每两处扣一分;2.语法错误(包括时态错误)每处扣一分;3.译文没用所给的单词扣一分。
怎么才干提高中译英水准,在高考中获得理想的分数呢?考生除了必须具备比较扎实的语言基础外,关键还在于学会总结规律,找准中译英的切入点。
一、分析句子结构、寻觅合适的句型中文必须认真读,一定要看的算是题目给我们的关键字或关键的词组,也算是我们常讲的key words。
尤其是最终两句翻译句子,它们大都在句子结构上提高了难度。
读啥?读出句子结构:关于简单句,辨不出主谓宾,分清定语、同位语和状语;关于并列句,记住两个语法意义上独立的分句,须由连词连接起来;关于复合句,须区分定语从句,名词性从句以及状语从句。
普通来讲,中译英的句型可分为三大类:1.简单句;2.并列句;3.复合句;并且我们也要注意非谓语动词及其他一些特别结构。
回忆近几年的高考试题时,也别难发觉试题中考了一些特别句式。
如:It句型(近几年考得较为频繁)、倒装句、with 结构。
例1: 昨天我的电脑坏了。
(wrong)解析:本题考查:1)简单句There be结构;2)wrong的用法;3)中英文表达的差异。
译句:There was something wrong with my computer yesterday. 例2: 遇到困难的时候,我们需要的别是彼此埋怨,而是互相帮助。
