英译汉:佳译赏析巧选主语成妙译(1)原文】饱经沧桑的20世纪仅剩下几个春秋,人类即将跨入充满希望的21世纪。
【译文】I n a few years’ time, mankind will bid farewell to the 20th c entury, a century full of vic issitudes, and enter into the 21s t c entury, a c entury full of hopes.【赏析】1995年,联合国举办纪念成立50周年庆祝活动,江主席出席并发表演说。
原文是该篇演说的第一句,是地道的汉语。
翻译此句时,一般译者往往会亦步亦趋地将原文译为两个分句,分别以“饱经沧桑的20世纪”和“人类”作主语。
但高明的译者吃透了原文的精神,选择mankind为主语统领全句,以准确而地道的英语译出,确实是一则难得的佳译,值得翻译爱好者认真体会。
英译汉:佳译赏析之“肚里的墨水”(2)【原文】T heir family had more money, more hors es, more slaves than any one els e in the Country, b ut the boys had less grammar than mos t of their poor C racker neighbors.【译文】他们家里的钱比人家多,马比人家多,奴隶比人家多,都要算全区第一,所缺少的只是他哥儿俩肚里的墨水,少得也是首屈一指的。
【赏析】原文选自Gone With the Wind。
译文忠实且流畅,算得上好译文,特别值得一提的是译者对grammar的处理,如果照搬字典自然难于翻译,但译者吃透了原句精神,译为“肚里的墨水”,真是再妥帖不过了。
英译汉:佳译赏析之“思前想后”(3)【原文】A nd in these meditations he fell asleep.【译文】他这么思前想后,就睡着了。
汉译英段落1:中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切,在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占有比例较为恰当的地位,而非绝对统治万物的主宰。
因此我们的苦闷基本上比西方人为少为小:因为苦闷的强弱原是随欲望与野心的大小而转移的。
农业社会的人比工业社会的人享受差得多,因此欲望也小的多。
何况中国古代素来以不怠于物不为物役为最主要的人生哲学。
汉译英段落2:暮色中,河湾里落满云霞,与天际的颜色混合一起,分不清哪是流云哪是水湾。
也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边,在河湾之畔,一群羊正在低头觅食。
它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来,看一眼这美丽的黄昏。
也许它们要抓紧时间,在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。
这是黄河滩上的一幕。
牧羊人不见了,他不知在何处歇息。
只有这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。
这儿水草肥美,让它们长得肥滚滚的,像些胖娃娃。
如果走近了,会发现它们那可爱的神情,洁白的牙齿,那丰富而单纯的表情。
如果稍稍长久一点端详这张张面庞,还会生出无限的怜悯。
汉译英段落3(翻译划线部分):都市寸土千金,地价炒得越来越高,今后将更高。
拥有一个小小花园的希望,对寻常之辈不啻是一种奢望,一种梦想。
我想,其实谁都有一个小小花园,这便是我们的内心世界。
人的智力需要开发,人的内心世界也是需要开发的。
人和动物的区别,除了众所周知的诸多方面,恐怕还在于人有内心世界。
心不过是人的一个重要脏器,而内心世界是一种景观,它是由外部世界不断地作用于内心渐渐形成的。
每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的渐损,以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。
但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的内心世界的阴晴。
汉译英段落4(翻译划线部分):我想不起来哪一个熟人没有手机。
今天没有手机的人是奇怪的,这种人才需要解释。
我们的所有社会关系都储存在手机的电话本里,可以随时调出使用。
古代只有巫师才能拥有这种法宝。
手机刷新了人与人的关系。
会议室门口通常贴着一条通告:请与会者关闭手机。

(Isaac Bashevis Singer: Gimpel the Fool)7.Its waters, in creeping down these miles of meadow-land, frequently divided,serpentining in purposeless curves, looping themselves around little islands that had no name, returning, and re-embodying themselves as a broad main stream further on.(Thomas Hardy: Tess of the d‟Urbervilles)8.I had not thought that brush and heart had so failed each other.9.Colonel Korn acted decisively to arrest what seemed to him to be the beginning ofan unwholesome trend in Major's squadron.10.There was an interval off our years and more between Tess and the next of thefamily, the two who had filled the gap having died in their infancy, and this lent her a deputy-maternal attitude when she was along with her juniors.(Thomas Hardy: Tess of the d'Urbervilles)11.Don't make it hard for us again.12.She liked doing it, after the confinement of the sick chamber, where she was notnow required by reason of her mother's improvement.

I chanced to rise very early one particular moming this summer, and tooka walk into the country to divert myself among the fields and meadows, while the green was new, and the flowers in their bloom. As at this season of the year every lane is a beautiful walk, and every hedge full of nosegays, Ilost myself, with a great deal ofpleasure, among several thickets and bushes that were filled with a great variety of birds, and an agreeable confusion of notes, which formed the pleasantest scene in the world to one who had passed a whole winter in noise and smoke. (Joseph Addison:“Tulips")译文:今年夏天的一个清晨,我偶然起了个大早,信步走向乡间,期望在田间和草丛之间寻求一份惬意。
经典翻译段落(一)科学对人体节奏有新发现你有没有患过时差综合症,即由于长时间坐喷气飞机环球飞行跨越过很多时区而感到疲倦和沮丧?你有没有像北欧国家的很多人一样患过冬季忧郁症,即由于在阴郁的12月和1月老是看到冬日阴沉灰暗的天空而感到郁闷?也许一点点光就能解决你的问题——而且只需要照射你皮肤上一小块地方。
实际上,美国科学家已竭尽全力进行研究——用光照射受试者的膝盖后部,试验光在提神方面的作用。
对付时差综合症和冬季忧郁症的东西可能是荷尔蒙褪黑激素。
已知荷尔蒙褪黑激素能调节人体节奏。
它于夜幕降临时分泌,可用于帮助治疗时差综合症和睡眠紊乱。
冬天光线昏暗、白昼时间短,人们褪黑激素分泌较少,据说这就是许多人在天气昏暗时普遍有这种感觉(即冬季忧郁)的原因。
许多年来,专家们一直在试验用光治疗时差综合症和季节性情绪失调(“冬季忧郁证”)。
他们建议患者坐在模仿太阳光自然波长的灯光前,以恢复褪黑激素。
1996年,哈佛大学医学院的戴安娜·波文及其同事发现即使是昏暗的台灯也可以起到同样的作用。
动物和人接触光都会引起体内复杂的反应。
纽约一个大学的研究小组说他们发现光照射在皮肤上会重新调整体内的生物钟。
他们选择了胭窝做试验是因为那儿容易接触到而且远离眼睛,许多科学家认为那个部位决定着人体节奏的周期。
Scientists Shed New Light On The Body's RhythmsHave you ever suffered from jet-lag, the fatigue and depressionthat comes from long hours spent in a jet aircraft traveling acrossthe world over many time zones? Or like many people in northernEuropean countries, have you ever suffered the dark depression ofwinter blues, the feelings of gloom that comes from facing thesomber December and January winter days under dark, cloudy skies?Maybe all you need is a little light -- and merely on a small patchof your skin. In fact, in experiments investigating the effect oflight in raising our spirits, American scientists have done alltheir research using light played on the back of the subjects'knees.What could be a key to jet-lag and winter blues is the hormonemelatonin, which is known to regulate body rhythms. It is secretedas night falls and it can be used to help to overcome jet-lag andsome sleep disorders. The low level of melatonin we experience inwinter when light is dull and daylight hours are shorter is said tobe cause of that common feeling many people get in dull weather --winter depression.For years experts have experimented with treating jet-lag andseasonal affective disorder ("winter depression") with light. Theycounsel victims to sit in front of lights simulating the sun'snatural wavelengths to restore melatonin. In 1996, Diane Boivin andcolleagues at Harvard Medical School found even dim reading lampsworked in this way.Exposure to light sets off a complex response inside the bodies ofanimals and humans. A university team in New Y ork said they hadfound that shining light on the skin could re-set the body'sinternal clock. They chose the back of the knee because it was easyto reach and away from the eyes, which is where many scientists hadbdieved circadian rhythm is determined.经典翻译段落(二)提倡“有灵魂的”知识经济进入21世纪,发达国家所面临的共同问题,不是缺资金,而是缺人才;不是缺最新的资讯,而是缺最新的知识。
段落翻译(原文+译文)1. 参与并取胜,这就是奥林匹克精神。
他表现于弱者敢于向强者挑战,也表现于强者力争取得更好的成绩。
胜而又胜,优而更优,这种理想一直鼓舞着运动员奋力前进。
他会尽其所能,争取优胜,永不松懈,永不罢休。
有人说竞技者终究逃脱不了失败,即使是最佳运动员也会被更强者所淘汰——这就是竞技运动的规律。
然而运动员却从不为这种不可避免的失败而气馁,仍然奋力拼搏争取最佳发挥。
并对自己在奥林匹克运动中为争取更好成绩已尽了一份力而心满意足。
他会自豪地说他的青春没有虚度。
(221字)【参考译文】To participate and win — that is the Olympic spirit. It finds expression in the weak daring to defy the strong, and the strong striving for ever better performance. “Ever better” — the ideal is always luring a sportsman forward. He will do everything he can for it, never relax, never give up. It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated — even the best is to be surpassed by someone still stronger. This is rule of sports. However, undaunted by the inevitable failure, the sportsman is always striving to do the best he can and content with the fact that he has done his bit for the “ever better” records in the Olympic Games. He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.2. 中国,一个值得自豪的文明古国,大约有5000年悠久和神秘的历史。
