Flow
（心流）
In his seminal（具有深远影响的） work, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Csikszentmihalyi outlines his theory that people are most happy when they are in a state of flow. The flow state is an optimal(最佳的) state of intrinsic(内在的) motivation, where the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing. It is characterized by a feeling of great freedom, enjoyment, fulfillment, and skill — and during which temporal concerns (time, food, ego, etc.) are typically ignored. 2013-12-12 5

Lesson 6—The Man in the Water
• Text Analysis

大学英语翻译教程 第五版 PPT第六讲
6.1 转换成汉语动词
❖ 词类转换是英汉翻译中不可或缺的变通手段， 是突破原文词性束缚、避免貌合神离的硬译死 译，使译文准确、通顺、易懂的有效方法。
❖并不意味着词类转换可以随心所欲，而必须遵 循忠实于原文意义、使译文自然流畅、通顺易 懂的原则。
6.1 转换成汉语动词
❖ 英语动词远比汉语动词用得少。一个英语句子 （单句）往往只用一个限定性动词作谓语，而 在一个汉语句子中却可以出现几个动词。
(41) Experts say this is actually a picture after
Picasso.
6.1.2 介词（与介词短语）转译成动词
❖ 此外，英语中不少的短语介词同样具有动作、 行为意义，这些短语介词汉译时，也往往转换 成动词。 (42) Before long his thoughts were centred on the use of air as the working fluid, instead of steam. (43) In view of human history this could be a slight enough hope.
LOGO
第 六 讲 翻译技巧（二）： 词类转换
❖ 在忠实于原文的前提下，根据译入语的行文习 惯，适当进行词类转换（即将原文中属于某种 词类的词译成译语的另一类词），能使译文通 顺达意、自然流畅。
(1) Those small factories are also lavish consumers, and wasters, of raw materials. 原译：那些小厂还是原材料极大的消耗者和浪费 者。
(14) The engine has given a constantly good performance.

1. What did the explosion above Fort Sumter mean? The explosion was a signal for all Confederate guns surrounding the fort to open fire.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The g_e_n__e_ro_u_s_ deed was done, In the storm of the years that are f_a_d_i_n_g
No braver battle was won:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Under the b__lo_s_s_o_m_s_ , the Blue, Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war cry ever, Or the winding rivers be red; They _b_a_n_is_h_ our anger forever When they laurel the _g_ra_v_e_s of our dead! Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment-day, Love and tears for the Blue, Tears and love for the Gray.
