关于汉语中几种特殊句型的翻译汉语中几种特殊句型的翻译分析了这些句型的特点,归纳了翻译这些句型的基本技巧。
汉语中有些常见句型,如是字句、得字句、把字句、搞字句等,其翻译没有、也不可能有固定的公式可以套用,如汉语的判断词是不一定总是翻译成英语的系动词be。
但是,通过纷繁的译例,我们仍然可以探索出翻译这些句型的有效方法和策略。
(一) 是字句的翻译: 是字句在汉语中占有相当的比例,但并非所有的是都是判断词,因此不能机械地用英语的连系动词be 来翻译,必须结合语境含义译之。
汉语中的是可表示等同、类属、特征、存在等意义; 是的含有被动意义;与才、就、正等连用表示强调; 是还可以表示一种直观表象或结果。
下面介绍一些是字句的翻译方法。
1. 译为英语连系动词be---改革是振兴中国的唯一出路,是人心所向,大势所趋,不可逆转。
Reform is the only process through which China can be revitalized, a process which isirreversible and which accords with the will of the people and the general trend of events. ---那年月,有钱人是天天过年。
In those years, the rich people s extravagance was such that everyday was a SpringFestival.---是党和政府的正确方针和政策,促进了广大农村的经济繁荣。
It is the correct principles and policies of our Party and Government that have promoted theeconomic prosperity of China s vast rural areas.2. 省略是字---武汉是长江中下游地区的特大城市,是湖北省的政治、经济、文化、科技中心。
宾语前置句动词可以带宾语,介词也可以带宾语,在文言文中,宾语前置是有条件的。
一、动词宾语前置文言文中动词宾语前置,大致有以下四种种情况:(一)否定句中,代词作宾语。
否定句中动词的宾语如果是代词,这个代词宾语一般要放在动词的前面,这是古汉语特有的用法。
1、动词前面有“不”“未”“弗”“无”等否定副词的否定句。
在这种否定句里,动词的宾语如果是代词,一般放在动词的前面2、古之人不余欺也。
(《石钟山记》)译文:“古时候的人没有欺骗我呀。
”这是个否定句。
动词前面有否定副词“不”,代词宾语“余”,放在动词“欺”的前面。
翻译的时候应该按现代汉语的顺序,即“古之人不欺余也”。
忌不自信。
(《邹忌讽齐王纳谏》)译文:“邹忌不相信自己(比他漂亮)。
”这是个否定句。
动词前面有否定副词“不”,代词宾语“自”,放在动词“信”的前面。
翻译时应该按现代汉语的顺序,即“忌不信自”。
3、以否定性无定代词作主语的否定句。
在这类否定句中,动词的宾语如果是代词一般也要放在动词的前面。
三岁贯汝,莫我肯顾。
(《硕鼠》)这是否定句。
它的主语是“莫”“莫”是否定性无定代词。
宾语“我”也是代词,现代汉语“莫我肯顾”应理解成“莫肯顾我”。
(二)疑问句中,代词作宾语,放在动词谓语前。
在古代汉语里,使用频率大的疑问代词是“何”字,其他的还有“谁、孰、恶、安、焉、胡、奚、曷”等,它们作宾语时,也放在动词谓语前面。
①良问曰:“大王来何操?”(〈鸿门宴〉)译文:“张良问道:‘大王来时带什么了吗?’”这是疑问句,“何”是疑问代词,它充当动词“操”的宾语,前置到“操”的前面。
按现代汉语的顺序,应是“大王来操何?”②沛公安在?(〈鸿门宴〉)译文:“沛公在哪里?”这是疑问句,“哪里:是疑问代词,它是动词在“的”宾语,前置到“操“的前面。
按现代汉语的顺序,应是“沛公在安?”(三)用“之”把宾语提到动词前,以加重语气。
这种现象古汉语并不多见。
如:句读之不知,惑之不解。
(韩愈《师说》)译文:“不懂得断句,不明白疑难问题……”句中的“句读”,“惑”都是要强调的宾语,动词是“知”、“解”。
英语特殊结构的句型比较固定,在纷杂的英语句子中找出一些普遍性和代表性的规律,对理解或翻译颇有裨益。
在尊重汉语习惯表达方式的前提下,如何将英语特殊结构译成准确的汉语,是提高翻译水平的关键问题之一。
1、倒装句英语倒装句,无论是完全倒装,还是部分倒装,都与汉语的语序有差异,翻译时应尊重汉语习惯,将句子理顺。
例:Down came the hammer and out flew the sparks.铁锤一落,火星四溅。
(原句为完全倒装。
)2、强调句翻译好强调句的关键在于掌握好强调句型(It is…that/who/which/…)。
应注意该句型与主语从句意义上的差异。
例:1)It is an unusual person who can live free from financial stress or who can spend money on others as he spends on himself.只有不同寻常的人才能远离经济重压,才能把钱花在别人身上就像花在自己身上一样。
(该句强调an unusual person,在译文中用"只有"两字体现出来。
)试比较主语从句:We had a lot of fun at the beach.It was really a fly in the ointment that George cut his foot on a piece of glass.我们在海滩上玩得很开心,美中不足的是乔治的脚被一块玻璃割破了。
(句中的It为形式主语,代替that引导的主语从句。
a fly in the ointment油膏里有一只苍蝇,喻美中不足。
)3、被动语态英语被动语态使用比较多,尤其是科技论文中特别突出,这与汉语形成鲜明的对照。
在汉语表达中,主动语态比被运语态用得更普遍些。
因此,在进行英译汉时,最好能尊重汉语习惯,将英文被动句转换在汉语主动句。
英语四级特殊句型如何翻译改革后的翻译是英语四六级考试的又一重难点,也是让考生最头疼的内容,它除了需要我们有一定的词汇积累,也需要我们了解一些常考的句型以及固定搭配,为了方便考生复习,学习拉为大家整理出英语四级翻译必胜的原则一、定语从句可以采取顺势断句译法如:Before I went ,all the partcipants in the scheme were given a short list of words that are in commom use in the UK which Americans would either be confused by or would even offend them。
可以将这个定语从句,拆成两个单独的句子,中间通过重复英语中的先行词,将断开的句子连接起来。
译文:在我动身之前,我们这个项目所有的参与者都得到一小份单词表,上面列出某些在英国通用,而在美国则可能引起他们误解,甚至冒犯他们的词汇。
再如:Working for President Ronald Reagan,Mr。
Bush was a silent and subservient vice president,∥a former rival ∥who gave himself the task of proving his loyalty∥by staying in the background and never ∥speaking out when his beliefs differed from those of his boss。
这本来是一个很长的句子,有定语从句,又有插入语,信息量也较多。
如果不进行合理断句,很难在短时间内把所有信息,完全通顺的翻译出来。
经过断句后,这个定语从句可以采用顺序驱动的方法。
译文:布什先生为里根总统效力时,是一份缄默顺从的副总统,他以前曾是里根的竞争对手,当了副总统以后,他要证实自己对里根的忠诚:他尽量不抛头露面突出自己,在即的观点与上司相左时,他总是把话放到肚子里。
1. 当时,那位出租车司机别无选择,只能求助于游客。
(choice)【答案】At that time the taxi driver had no choice but to turn to the tourist/ traveler (for help).【解析】这里考查的是have/had no choice but to do sth.句型,意为“除了做……别无选择”,一定要注意,在这个句型中but要加to do不定式。
2. 自从出国留学后,她就不再和我们保持联系了。
(No longer)【答案】No longer has she kept in touch with us since she went abroad for further study / education.【解析】这里考查的是no longer位于句首的倒装结构;与......保持联系 keep in touch with...。
3. 我发现很难与那些一贯固执己见的人合作。
(…it…)【答案】I find it (is) hard to cooperate with those who always stick to their own opinions.【解析】本句可以翻译为两种句型,如果加上括号中的is,则理解为动词find后跟宾语从句;如果不加is,则考察句型find+形式宾语it+adj.+to do sth.真正的宾语是to do不定式。
除find外,常用的动词还有think,consider等。
4. 学校董事会没有批准这一提案,也没有做出任何解释。
(nor)【答案】The school board did not approve the proposal nor did they make any explanation/give the reasonfor doing so.【解析】本题重点测试nor这个否定词引导的句子需用部分倒装结构。
