第九单元课文

Throughout the ages different ideas have been expressed about the workings of the human brain.

It is only recently, however ,

that science has begun to give us some idea of how the brain really works.

THE BRAIN THE MOST POWERFUL COMPUTER IN THE UNIVERSE

人脑

Man still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body-the brain.

人类对于其身体中最有功效的,最为复杂的部位——人脑,仍有很多需要了解的东西。

In ancient times men did not think that the brain was the centre of mental activity.

在古代,人们并不认为人脑是智力活动的中心。

Aristotle the philosopher of ancient Greece thought that the mind was based in the heart.

古希腊哲学家亚里士多德认为思想寓于心脏这中。

It was not until the 18th century that man realised that the whole of the brain was involved in the workings of the mind.

直到18世纪人类才认识到,整个人脑都卷入了思想活动。

During the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain were damaged

在19世纪,科学家们发现,当人脑的某些部位受到损伤时,

men lost the ability to do certain things.

人们便失去了做某些事情的能力。

And so, people thought that each part of the brain controlled a different activity.

于是,人们便认为,人脑的每一个部位都控制着一种不同的活动。

But modern research has found that this is not so.

但是现代的研究已经发现,事实并非如此。

It is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.

要确切地说出脑子的每一个部位起什么作用并不是一件容易的事情。

In the past 50 years there has been a great increase in the amount of research being done on the brain.

在过去50年中,对人脑所做的研究在数量上有了很大增长。

Chemists and biologists have found that the way the brain works is far more complicated than they had thought.

化学家和生物学家已经发现,人脑的活动方式比他们原告所想的远为复杂。

In fact many people believe that we are only now really starting to learn the truth about how the human brain works.

实际上,很多人相信,对于人脑活动的真相,我们只是现在才真正开始有所了解。The more scientists find out,

科学家们发现的越多,

the more questions they are unable to answer.

他们无法回答的问题也就越多。

For instance,

例如,

chemists have found that over 100,000 chemical reactions take place in the brain every second.

化学家们发现,在人脑中每秒要发生十万次以上的化学反应。Mathematicians who have tried to use computers to copy the way the brain works have found

试图利用计算机来复制人脑活动方式的数学家们发现,

that even using the latest electronic epuipment they would have to build a computer which weighed over 10,000 kilos.

即使动用最先进的电子设备,他们也需要建造一台重一万公斤以上的计算机才行。Some recent research also suggests that we remember everything that happens to us.

某项新近的研究还表明,我们能够记住所有我们经历过的事情。

We may not be able to recall this information,

我们也许不能回忆起这些信息,

but it is all stored in our brains.

但它们却都贮存在我们的大脑里。

Scientists hope that if we can discover how the brain works,

科学家们希望,如果我们能够发现人脑是怎样活动的,

the better use we will be able to put it to .

我们将能够更好地运用它。

For example, how do we learn language?

例如,我们是怎样学习语言的呢?

Man differs most from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use language

人跟其他动物的最大区别就在于人能够学习并使用语言,

but we still do not know exactly how this is done.

Some children learn to speak and read and write when they are very young compared to average children.

跟一般的孩子相比,有些孩子很小就学会了说、读、写。

But scientists are not sure why this happens.

但科学家们对于这种事情发生的原因却不太清楚。

They are trying to find out whether there is something about the way we teach language to children which in fact prevents children from learning sooner.

他们正在试图查明,在我们教孩子们学习语言的方法中是不是有什么东西实际上却妨碍了他们学得更快些。

Earlier scientists thought that during a man's lifetime the power of his brain decreased.

早些时候的科学家们认为,在人的一生中,大脑的机能会逐渐减弱。

But it is now thought that this is not so.

但现在人们认为,情况并非如此。

As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise it keeps its power.

只要脑子得到充分运用,它就会保持其机能。

It has been found that an old person who has always been mentally active has a

quicker mind than a young person who has done only physical work.

人们发现,一个智力上一直活跃的老人,他的头脑比一个只干体力活的年轻人更敏捷。

It is now thought that the more work we give our brains,

现在人们认为,我们让大脑工作得越多,

the more work they are able to do.

它就能干更多的工作。

Other people now believe that we use only 1% of our brains' full potential.

还有一些人现在相信,我们只利用了大脑全部潜在能力的百分之一。

They say that the only limit on the power of the brain is the limit of what we think is possible.

他们说,人脑机能的唯一限度是我们认为能办到哪些事情的限度。

This is probably because of the way we are taught as children.

这很可能是我们小时候受教育的方式所造成的。

When we first start learning to use our minds we are told what to do,

当我们最初开始学着运用我们的头脑时,我们便被告知该做些什么,

for example, to remember certain facts,

例如,该记住某些事实;

but we are not taught how our memory works and how to make the best use of it . 但是却没有人告诉我们我们的记忆怎样动作以及怎样才能最好地运用它。

We are told to make notes but we are not taught how our brains accept information and which is the best way to organise the information we want our brains to accept. 别人叫我们记笔记,但却不告诉我们我们的脑子是怎样接受信息的,什么是对我们希望自己的大脑接受的信息加以条理化的最好方法。

This century man has made many discoveries about the universe---

本世纪人类已经对于宇宙,有了很多发现,——

the world outside himself.

人体外部的世界

But he has also started to look into the workings of that other universe which is inside himself-

但是人类也已经开始研究其自身内部的另外一个宇宙的活动了,这另外一个宇宙就是

the human brain.

人脑。

四种翻译方法,十种翻译技巧

四种翻译方法 1.直译和意译 所谓直译,就是在译文语言条件许可时,在译文中既保持原文的内容,又保持原文的形式——特别指保持原文的比喻、形象和民族、地方色彩等。 每一个民族语言都有它自己的词汇、句法结构和表达方法。当原文的思想内容与译文的表达形式有矛盾不宜采用直译法处理时,就应采用意译法。意译要求译文能正确表达原文的内容,但可以不拘泥与原文的形式。(张培基) 应当指出,在再能确切的表达原作思想内容和不违背译文语言规范的条件下,直译有其可取之处,一方面有助于保存原著的格调,另一方面可以进新鲜的表达方法。 Literal translation refers to an adequate representation of the original. When the original coincides or almost tallies with the Chinese language in the sequence of vocabulary, in grammatical structure and rhetorical device, literal translation must be used. Free translation is also called liberal translation, which does not adhere strictly to the form or word order of the original.(郭著章) 直译法是指在不违背英语文化的前提下,在英译文中完全保留汉语词语的指称意义,求得内容和形式相符的方法。

《论语十则》——《中国文化经典研读》(整理)

《论语十则》——《中国文化经典研读》(整理) 1 子曰:“君子食无求饱,居无求安,敏于事而慎于言,就(1)有道(2)而正(3)焉,可谓好学也已。” 【注释】 (1)就:靠近、看齐。 (2)有道:指有道德的人。 (3)正:匡正、端正。 【译文】 孔子说:“君子,饮食不求饱足,居住不要求舒适,对工作勤劳敏捷,说话却小心谨慎,到有道的人那里去匡正自己,这样可以说是好学了。” 2 2?4 子曰:“吾十有(1)五而志于学,三十而立(2),四十而不惑(3),五十而知天命(4),六十而耳顺(5),七十而从心所欲不逾矩(6)。” 【注释】 (1)有:同“又”。 (2)立:站得住的意思。 (3)不惑:掌握了知识,不被外界事物所迷惑。 (4)天命:指不能为人力所支配的事情。 (5)耳顺:对此有多种解释。一般而言,指对那些于己不利的意见也能正确对待。 (6)从心所欲不逾矩:从,遵从的意思;逾,越过;矩,规矩。 【译文】 孔子说:“我十五岁立志于学习;三十岁能够自立;四十岁能不被外界事物所迷惑;五十岁懂得了天命;六十岁能正确对待各种言论,不觉得不顺;七十岁能随心所

欲而不越出规矩。” 3 子曰:“由(1),诲女(2),知之乎,知之为知之,不知为不知,是知也。” 【注释】 (1)由:姓仲名由,字子路。生于公元前542年,孔子的学生,长期追随孔子。 (2)女:同汝,你。 【译文】 孔子说:“由,我教给你怎样做的话,你明白了吗,知道的就是知道,不知道就是不知道,这就是智慧啊~” 4.颜渊、季路侍(1)。子曰:“盍(2)各言尔志。”子路曰:“原车马,衣轻裘,与朋友共,敝之而无憾。”颜渊曰:“愿无伐(3)善,无施劳(4)。”子路曰:“愿闻子之志。”子曰:“老者安之,朋友信之,少者怀之(5)。” 【注释】 (1)侍:服侍,站在旁边陪着尊贵者叫侍。 (2)盍:何不。 (3)伐:夸耀。 (4)施劳:施,表白。劳,功劳。 (5)少者怀之:让少者得到关怀。 【译文】 颜渊、子路两人侍立在孔子身边。孔子说:“你们何不各自说说自己的志向,”子路说:“愿意拿出自己的车马、衣服、皮袍,同我的朋友共同使用,用坏了也不抱怨。”颜渊说:“我愿意不夸耀自己的长处,不表白自己的功劳。”子路向孔子说:“愿意听听您的志向。”孔子说:“(我的志向是)让年老的安心,让朋友们信任我,让年轻的子弟们得到关怀。” 5 子曰:“知之者不如好之者,好之者不如乐之者。” 【译文】

翻译中国文化和历史

翻译(一)、中国文化和历史 1、狮舞(Lion Dance)是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。狮为百兽之首,在中国传统中,狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物(mascot)。古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身,能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。据记载,狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代(the Tang Dynasty),狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。因此,舞狮成为元宵节(the Lantern Festival)和其他节日的习俗,人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。 The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals. In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness. 2、端午节,又叫龙舟节,是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣(minister),他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤(vilify)而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方,抛下粽子,希望鱼儿吃粽子,不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来,端午节的特色在于吃粽子(glutinous dumplings)和赛龙舟,尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 ? The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified. People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. 3、上海菜系是中国最年轻的地方菜系,通常被成为“本帮菜”,有着400多年的历史。同中国其他菜系一样,“本帮菜”具有“色,香,味”三大要素。//上海菜的特点是注重调料的使用,食物的质地和菜的原汁原味。其中最著名的有特色点心“南翔小笼”和特色菜“松鼠鲑鱼”。//“南翔小笼”是猪肉馅,个小味美,皮薄汁醇。“松鼠鲑鱼”色泽黄亮,形如松鼠,外皮脆而内肉嫩,汤汁酸甜适口。//在品尝过“松鼠鲑鱼”之后,我们常常惊讶于“松鼠”的形状,觉得在三大评价标准上在添加“形”这个标准才更合适。 Shanghai cuisine, usually called Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among themajor regional cuisines in China, with a history of more than 400 years. Like all other Chinese regional cuisines, Benbang cuisines takes “color, aroma and taste”as its essential quality elements.//Shanghai cuisine emphasizes in particular the expert use of seasonings,

文言文翻译技巧和方法

文言文翻译技巧和方法 一、基本方法:直译和意译文言文翻译的基本方法有直译和意译两种。所谓直译,是指用现代汉语的词对原文进行逐字逐句地对应翻译,做到实词、虚词尽可能文意相对。直译的好处是字字落实;其不足之处是有时译句文意难懂,语言也不够通顺。所谓意译,则是根据语句的意思进行翻译,做到尽量符合原文意思,语句尽可能照顾原文词义。意译有一定的灵活性,文字可增可减,词语的位置可以变化,句式也可以变化。意译的好处是文意连贯,译文符合现代语言的表达习惯,比较通顺、流畅、好懂。其不足之处是有时原文不能字字落实。这两种翻译方法当以直译为主,意译为辅。 二、具体方法:留、删、补、换、调、变。 “留”:就是保留。凡是古今意义相同的词,以及古代的人名、地名、物名、官名、国号、年号、度量衡单位等,翻译时可保留不变。例如:《晏子使楚》中的“楚王”、“晏婴”、“晏子”等不用翻译。 “删”,就是删除。删掉无须译出的文言虚词。例如:“寡人反取病焉”的“焉”是语气助词,可不译,本句的意思就是“我反而自讨没趣。”(《晏子使楚》)又如:“子猷、子敬俱病笃,而子敬先亡”中的“而”是连词,可不译,整句意思是“子猷与子敬都病重,子敬先死去。” “补”,就是增补。(1)变单音词为双音词,如《桃花源记》中“率妻子邑人来此绝境”,“妻子”一词是“妻子、儿女”的意思;(2)补出省略句中的省略成分,如《人琴俱亡》中“语时了不悲”,翻译为:(子猷)说话时候完全不悲伤。 “换”,就是替换。用现代词汇替换古代词汇。如把“吾、余、予”等换成“我”,把“尔、汝”等换成“你”。“调”就是调整。把古汉语倒装句调整为现代汉语句式。例如《人琴俱亡》中“何以都不闻消息”,“何以”是“以何”的倒装,宾语前置句,意思是“为什么”。“变”,就是变通。在忠实于原文的基础上,活译有关文字。“子猷问左右”(人琴俱亡))中的“左右”指的是“手下的人”,“左右对曰”(《晏子使楚》中的“左右”指的是“近臣”。 古文翻译口诀古文翻译,自有顺序,首览全篇,掌握大意;先明主题,搜集信息,由段到句,从句到词,全都理解,连贯一起,对待难句,则需心细,照顾前文,联系后句,

英汉翻译的基本方法和技巧

英汉翻译的基本方法和技巧 翻译是信息交流过程中极其复杂的社会心理现象。语言知识是翻译的基础。此外,翻译还涉及到推理、判断、分析和综合等复杂的心理认识过程。翻译的方法和技巧是翻译工作者在长期的实践中根据两种语言的特点总结归纳出来的一般规律。这些规律可以指导我们的翻译实践,使我们能更自觉、更灵活地处理翻译过程中所遇到的各种语言现象。下面就英译汉中的一些方法和技巧结合翻译实例作一概述。 1. 词义的选择 一词多义和一词多类是英汉两种语言都有的一种语言现象。因此,在平日的翻译练习和测试中,我们在弄清原文句子结构后,务必注意选择和确定句中关键词的词类和词义,以保证译文的质量。通常可从以下三个方面来考虑词义选择: 1)根据词在句中的词类来选择词义 例如:Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Like the law, it contributes to the common good. [译文]:审查是为了整个社会的利益。它像法律一样维护公众利益。 [注释]:本句中like作介词,意为"像……一样"。但like作动词用,则意为"喜欢;想要"。例如:He likes films with happy endings. (他喜欢结局好的电影。)又如:Would you like to leave a message? (你要不要留个话儿?)此外,like还可以作形容词用,意为"相同的",如:Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.(电荷同性相斥,异性相吸。) 2)根据上下文和词在句中的搭配关系选择词义 例1 According to the new s chool of scientists, technology is an overlooked force in expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge. [译文]:新学派的科学家们认为,技术在扩大科学知识范围过程中是一种被忽视的力量。 [注释]:school一词常被误译为"学校",其实,school还有一个词义"学派"。可见,正确选择词义对译文质量有重要影响,而文章的上下文和逻辑联系是翻译中选择词义的重要依据。 例2 Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a "valid" or "fair" comparison. [译文]:既然对智力的评估是比较而言的,那么我们必须确保,在对我们的对象进行比较时,我们所使用的尺度要能提供"有效的"和"公平的"比较。 [注释]:许多人把scale译为"范围",和文章的语篇意思和句子的确切含义大相径庭。

英语翻译技巧实例

英语翻译技巧 5.拆句法和合并法: 这是两种相对应的翻译方法。拆句法是把一个长而复杂的句子拆译成若干个较短、较简单的句子,通常用于英译汉;合并法是把若干个短句合并成一个长句,一般用于汉译英。汉语强调意合,结构较松散,因此简单句较多;英语强调形合,结构较严密,因此长句较多。所以汉译英时要根据需要注意利用连词、分词、介词、不定式、定语从句、独立结构等把汉语短句连成长句;而英译汉时又常常要在原句的关系代词、关系副词、主谓连接处、并列或转折连接处、后续成分与主体的连接处,以及意群结束处将长句切断,译成汉语分句。这样就可以基本保留英语语序,顺译全句,顺应现代汉语长短句相替、单复句相间的句法修辞原则。如: (1) Increased cooperation with China is in the interests of the United States. 同中国加强合作,符合美国的利益。(在主谓连接处拆译) (2)I wish to thank you for the incomparable hospitalityfor which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world. 我要感谢你们无与伦比的盛情款待。中国人民正是以这种热情好客而闻明世界的。(在定语从句前拆译) 6.倒置法: 在汉语中,定语修饰语和状语修饰语往往位于被修饰语之前;在英语中,许多修饰语常常位于被修饰语之后,因此翻译时往往要把原文的语序颠倒过来。倒置法通常用于英译汉, 即对英语长句按照汉语的习惯表达法进行前后调换,按意群或

进行全部倒置,原则是使汉语译句安排符合现代汉语论理叙事的一般逻辑顺序。有时倒置法也用于汉译英。如: (1)At this moment, through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say than on any other occasions in the whole history of the world. 此时此刻,通过现代通信手段的奇迹,看到和听到我们讲话的人比整个世界历史上任何其他这样的场合都要多。(部分倒置) (2)I believe strongly that it is in the interest of my countrymen that Britain should remain an active and energetic member of the European Community. 我坚信,英国依然应该是欧共体中的一个积极的和充满活力的成员,这是符合我国人民利益的。(部分倒置) (3)改革开放以来,中国发生了巨大的变化。 Great changes have taken place in China since the introduction of the reform and opening policy.(全部倒置) 7.倒置法: 在汉语中,定语修饰语和状语修饰语往往位于被修饰语之前;在英语中,许多修饰语常常位于被修饰语之后,因此翻译时往往要把原文的语序颠倒过来。倒置法通常用于英译汉, 即对英语长句按照汉语的习惯表达法进行前后调换,按意群或进行全部倒置,原则是使汉语译句安排符合现代汉语论理叙事的一般逻辑顺序。有时倒置法也用于汉译英。如: (1)At this moment, through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say than on any other occasions in the whole history of the world.

常用翻译技巧和方法

常用翻译方法和技巧 1. 四种翻译方法 1.1直译和意译 所谓直译,就是在译文语言条件许可时,在译文中既保持原文的内容,又保持原文的形式——特别指保持原文的比喻、形象和民族、地方色彩等。 每一个民族语言都有它自己的词汇、句法结构和表达方法。当原文的思想内容与译文的表达形式有矛盾不宜采用直译法处理时,就应采用意译法。意译要求译文能正确表达原文的内容,但可以不拘泥与原文的形式。(张培基) 应当指出,在再能确切的表达原作思想内容和不违背译文语言规范的条件下,直译有其可取之处,一方面有助于保存原著的格调,另一方面可以进新鲜的表达方法。 Literal translation refers to an adequate representation of the original. When the original coincides or almost tallies with the Chinese language in the sequence of vocabulary, in grammatical structure and rhetorical device, literal translation must be used. Free translation is also called liberal translation, which does not adhere strictly to the form or word order of the original.(郭著章) 直译法是指在不违背英语文化的前提下,在英译文中完全保留汉语词语的指称意义,求得内容和形式相符的方法。 意译是指译者在受到译语社会文化差异的局限时,不得不舍弃原文的字面意义,以求疑问与原文的内容相符和主要语言功能的相似。(陈宏薇) 简单地说,直译指在译文中采用原作的的表达方法,句子结构与原句相似,但也不排除在短语层次进行某些调整。 意译指在译文中舍弃原作的表达方法,另觅同意等效的表达方法,或指对原作的句子结构进行较大的变化或调整。(杨莉藜) Literal translation may be defined as having the following characteristics: 1, literal translation takes sentences as its basic units and the whole text into consideration at the same time in the course of translating. 2, literal translation strives to reproduce both the ideological content and style of the entire literary work and retain as much as possible the figures of speech and such main sentence structures or patterns as SV,SVO, SVC, SVA, SVOO, SVOC, SVOA formulated by Randolph Quirk, one of the authors of the book A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language. Free translation may be defined as a supplementary means to mainly convey the meaning and spirit of the original without trying to reproduce its sentence patterns or figures of speech.

Unit1 中国丝绸 中国是丝绸的故乡。栽桑、养蚕、缫丝、织绸是中国古代人民的伟大发明。商周时期(前1600——前256)丝绸的生产技术就已发展到相当高的水平。西汉(前206——公元25)时张蹇通西域,把中元与波斯湾、地中海紧密联系起来,开辟了中外交流贸易的新纪元。从此中国的丝绸以其卓越的品质、精美的花色和丰富的文化内涵闻名于世,成为中国文化的象征、东方文明的使者。 Chinese Silk China is the home of silk. Mulberry planting, sericulture, silk reeling and thickening are all great inventions of the ancient Chinese. As early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties (1600-BC256BC), the Chinese people’s silk-weaving techniques had reached an extremely high level. During the Western Han Dynasty(206BC-25AD),Zhang Jian ,an outstanding diplomat ,traveled around central Asia and connected China with the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean, opening up a new era of Sino-foreign trade, exchange and communication. From then on, China’s silk became well known for its extraordinary quality, exquisite design and color , and abundant cultural connotations. Hitherto, Chinese silk has been accepted as a symbol of Chinese culture and the emissary of oriental civilization.
