重复作代词主语的名词英语中用物主代词its,his,their等等以代替句中作主语的名词时,翻译中往往可以不用代词而重复其作主语的名词,以达到明确具体的目的。
例1:Happy families are all alike,every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.幸福的家庭总是相似的,不幸的家庭各有各的不幸。
例2:Big powers have their strategies while small countries also have their own lines.强国有大强国的策略,小国也有小国的路线。
重复强势关系代词或关系副词例1:Whoever violates the law should be punished.谁犯了法,谁就应该受惩罚。
英汉翻译技巧——重复译法使用重复法的目的主要有三个:一是使意义明确,二是使译文生动活泼,三是加强语势。
一、使意义明确1.重复名词1) We should learn how to analyze and solve problems.2) It is our duty to rebuild and defend our homeland.3)A good play serves to educate and inspire the people.4)It was he who first repudiated and breached the understanding.5)All of these arrangements were a prelude to the ball, the hostess' ultimate prize.6)They slipped out into the open,avoiding the kitchen, a spacious separate building.2.重复动词1)People forget your face first, then your name.2)Then he spoke of the rise of charity and popular education, and in particular of the spread of wealth and work.3)They talked of things they longed for ─ of meat and of hot soup and of the richness of butter.4)He encouraged this bumptious young ma n to write of his own region──of its bleak poverty and of its women old before their time.3.重复代词1)The country has its romantic feeling.2)However you travel, it’ll take you at least two days.3)Whoever works hard will be respected.4)Choose whatever you like.5)Ignoring a problem does not solve it.6)When her eyes looked up, they were very large, odd, and attractive.二、使译文生动活泼1)grotesque2)careless3)in chaos4)street gossip5)rumors6) Talking and laughing, running and jumping, the children had a good time at sea-side.7) But at that time, she was the only woman there.8) His folks ate up everything he had.三、加强语势1) Would you please please please please please please please stop talking.2)Any my poor fool is hanged. No, no, no life.。
重复法实际上也是一种增词法,只不过所增加的词是上文刚出现过的词。
翻译和写作一样,本应力求简练,尽量省略一些可有可无的词;但有时为了明确、强调或生动,却往往需要将一些关键性的词加以重复。
一、为了明确(一)重复名词1. 重复英语中作宾语的名词1)Let us revise our safety and sanitary regulations.我们来修订安全规则和卫生规则吧。
2)I had experienced oxygen and / or engine trouble.我曾碰到过,不是氧气设备出故障,就是引擎出故障,或两者都出故障。
3)They began to study and analyze the situation of the enemy.他们开始研究敌情,分析敌情。
4)Thus, I wrote "Spain in Arms, 1937" and saw China in revolution in 1925-27, and later in war with Japan.这样,我就写了《战斗中的西班牙(一九三七年)》。
我也看到了一九二五年至一九二七年正在革命的中国,后来又看到了正同日本作战的中国。
2. 重复英语中作表语的名词1)He became an oil baron -- all by himself.他成为一个石油大王——一个白手起家的石油大王。
2)This has been our position -- but not theirs.这一直是我们的立场——而不是他们的立场。
3)John is your friend as much as he is mine.约翰既是你的朋友,又是我的朋友。
3. 重复英语前置词短语前所省略的名词英语中常重复使用前置词,而将第二个、第三个前置词前的名词省略,翻译时则往往要把此名词重复。
1)The doctor will get more practice out of me than out of seventeen hundred ordinary patients.医生从我身上得到的实践,会比从1700个普通病人身上得到的实践还多。
