英语俚语的特点及翻译撰稿人：ＸＸＸ 学号：ＸＸＸＸＸＸ 指导教师：ＸＸＸ 日期：2012年3月24日
英语俚语的特点及翻译 学生：×××指导教师：××× 工作单位：×××× 摘要：如今越来越多的国人选择出国旅游或者是留学，美剧、英剧等英语剧在我国也越来越流行，人们接触到英语俚语的机会在不断的增加，但是很多人在翻译英语俚语的时候存在诸多问题，这样就使得人们无确理解英语俚语所表达的意思。本文基于这个目的，先是介绍了英语俚语的定义以及特点，接着分析了在翻译过程中常见的问题，最后提出翻译的方法，希望在翻译英语俚语的时候正确使用这些方法，准确的翻译出俚语所要表达的意思。 关键词：英语俚语；翻译技巧；俚语特点 1. 引言 当前随着国际间关系越来越紧密，很多人都会选择出国旅游或者是游学，大部分都会选择欧美地区，那么就免不了和当地人接触了。在欧美地区，英语作为主要的语言，被用于日常的生活中，但是日常生活并不是严肃的文学作品，日常交谈更加具有口语化，而这个时候英语俚语的使用次数就会增多。英语俚语的意思与英语单词本来的意思是不相同的，这就给听者的翻译工作造成了很大的障碍，不利于交流。 另外，如今大量的美剧、英剧也受到越来越多国人的喜爱，在观看美剧或者是英剧的时候，也会听到很多俚语，如果不能够理解俚语真实表达的意思，那么就不能够理解这个情景设置了，这对于观众欣赏电视剧也是不利的。 英语俚语与标准词语存在差异，相对于标准词语来说，英语俚语“具有较强的开放性、生动新颖性、带有感情色彩与修饰色彩、具有简洁性”[1]。正是因为英语俚语具有这样的特点，所以俚语在翻译上更加的复杂多变，这也就导致译文经常会存在错误，为此在翻译英语俚语的时候需要“准确理解原文、再现原文特色、再现说话者的个性”[2]。 2. 英语俚语概述 2.1 英语俚语的定义 英语俚语在以英语作为官方语言的国家经常使用，但是关于英语俚语的定义在学术界并没有一个统一的标准。最知名、使用频率最高的一个解释来自于《牛津现代高级英汉双解词典》，在这本词典中明确表示俚语是“一般用于朋友或同事间的谈话，但是不能够用于写作或正式场合的字词；特别指某一阶层人士的习惯用语”[3]。 说起俚语，总是不可避免的联想到暗语、黑话、行话，这是因为最早的俚语源自于暗语、黑话以及行话，不过后来随着俚语的不断发展，俚语与这三者有了很大的差别。暗语指的是“某一阶层、宗派等所用的惯用语、隐语或术语，目的是为了保守秘密防止他人知道而采用的一种语言形式”[4]；黑语指的是“为数很少的人才能理解的语言”[5]；行话指的是“因形式不好或者说得不好而让人很难懂的话”[6]。 英语俚语的来源非常的广泛，除了上文所述的暗语、黑话、行话，还源自于其他语种或者是从标准词汇转变而来。但是俚语更新换代的速度也非常的快，其具有“流行性”的特点。 2.2 英语俚语的特点 2.2.1 具有较强的开放性 英语俚语开放性非常的强，不单单可以吸收标准词汇，还可以吸收其他国家的语言。例如“drag”这个词语是一个典型的标准词语，表示“拖、拽”，但是在俚语里面，可以使用这个词语来表示“街道”[7]。再就是“sotto voce”，这个词语来自于意大利语，
1. kick ass 了不起 A: Wow, you fixed my computer in less than 10 minutes. You’re good. A: 哇! 你不到十分钟就把我的计算机修好了呀! 你很棒! B: Yep. I just kick ass. B: 是的! 我就是厉害! “kick ass”除了字面上的「踢屁股」外，还有「厉害、打败」的意思。当「踢屁股」时，比如某人放你鸽子，你很气，就可以说: “I’m going to kick his ass.” (我得踢他的屁股)。当「厉害」用时，就像上面例句一样用。”kick ass”还可作「打败某人的意思」。比如某人一向在某方面比你强，终于有一天你比他厉害了，你就可以说:”Hahaha…I kick ed your ass.”。觉得“ass”太难听的人，就用“butt”吧! 2. kiss ass 拍马屁 A: Mary, I’m sorry for cheating on you before. Do you see any chance that we c an get back together? A: Mary, 我真的很抱歉对你不忠实。你想我们可不可能重修旧好呢? B: I don’t know, but you can kiss my ass. B: 不知道，不过你可以亲我的屁屁(巴结我)。 「亲屁屁」好象不大卫生吧! 不过人家就是这样用，就照着「亲」吧! “cheat”除了作弊外，还有「不忠实」的意思。 3. XYZ 检查你的拉链 Hey, man. XYZ. 老兄啊! 检查一下你的拉链吧。 “XYZ”是“Check your zipper.”的意思。在美国，填表选项时多用打「X」来表示(台湾则用打勾表示)。这个选项的动作就叫”Check”, 也就是这里的 XYZ 的X所代表的。Y 是 Your, Z 就是 Zipper 啰! 4. Hit the road. 上路了。 A: Do you want to come in for some tea? A: 你要不要进来喝个茶呢?
洛基提醒：英语学习已经进入互联网时代 经常看美剧的朋友可能会很有体会，英语俚语还是非常有用，你可以不会用或者用不好，但如果看到了或听到了，不明白它的意思，那同样影响交流的，因为有些英语俚语太常见了，每个词都认识，但就是不知道是什么意思。转了别人发布的一些俚语贴出来。 1 Be in the air将要发生的事情 The feeling or idea that something new is about to happen or is going to change.

语言文字 对英语俚语翻译中等值性的思考 余郑 (四川大学外国语学院,四川成都 610065;成都信息工程学院,四川成都 610225) 摘 要 俚语作为英语文化中非正式的一种语言形式,在英语学习和英汉互译与跨文化交际中引起越来越多 学者和英语使用者的关注。本文通过分析英语俚语的突出特点,对其英汉翻译的细节提出了三点值得关注的 问题,对词义、语体和文化等值性的思考,旨在能更准确、恰到、精确的理解、翻译和运用英语俚语。 关键词 俚语;翻译;词义等值;语体等值;文化等值 作者简介 余郑(1975 ),女,重庆人,四川大学外国语学院在读博士,成都信息工程学院副教授,研究方 向:翻译与跨文化交际。 一、引言 随着改革开放的不断深入,随着中国与外界接触机会的日渐频繁,在日常生活中,从书刊杂志或是电影电视上,随处都可以听到或看到英语俚语的使用。但是,在中国传统的英语课堂中,教师和课本所选用的材料通常并没有把俚语列入学习范围内,所以在真正的跨文化交流中,往往会出现学了很多年英语的人没办法理解某些常用的俚语表达,造成了交流障碍的现象;或者在翻译过程中,译者往往也会因为俚语基本功的欠缺,而出现误译或错译的例子,这些都不得不说是一种遗憾。那如何才能最大程度的理解并翻译好这些俚语以达到成功的交际,便成了值得各位译者思考的问题。 二、英语俚语的定义与特点 (一)定义 英语俚语是一种使用频率较高的语言形式,通常形象生动、表现力强,并富有浓重的文化色彩和内在涵义(conno tation),常常在非正式或活泼、友好的场合中使用。对于俚语的定义,!朗文现代汉英双解词典?解释为#在严肃言语或文章中通常难以接受的字句;被视为很不正式或不礼貌的字句?;!牛津现代高级英汉双解词典?定义为#一般用于朋友或同事之间谈话,但不适于好的写作或正式场合的字词。?从这两种版本的释义不难看出,作为英语学习者,如果只通过正规的课堂和严肃的课本教育,是很难真正体会到英语俚语的含义和魅力。而对于翻译人员来说,如果没有多年的留学背景或在国外生活的经验,要全面掌握俚语的运用并做到英汉双语俚语自由的切换,的确是非常不容易。 (二)暗语、黑话、行话与俚语的关系与差异 大部分俚语的形成源自黑话(argot)、暗语(cant)或行话(jar gon)。但是随着使用环境和背景的不同,俚语同这三者也存在或多或少的差异。#黑话?(A rgo t)一词起源与法语,意为#为数很少的人才能理解的语言。?这个词通常会让人联想起犯罪团伙或黑帮社会所用的语言。#暗语?(Cant)一词意为#某一阶层、宗派等所用的惯用语、隐语、或术语,目的是为了保守秘密防止他人知道而采用的一种语言形式。?而行话(Jargon)一词意为#因形式不好或是说得不好而使人难懂的话。?它通常指某个特殊的行业或某个门道专门的术语,而非此专业的人一般很难听懂。虽然很多俚语来自这三种语言形式,但因其在日常用语中频繁的出现,早已被广大的本族语使用者所认同和接受,并在各自的语言中不断的重复和使用,所以它同黑话、暗语或行话便有着本质的区别。例如单词#crash ?,它原意有#猛烈的坠落或是发出声响的巨大的事故?,但在俚语使用中它却意为#睡觉?。如词组#crash pad ?,就是表示#紧急时睡觉之处?的意思。再例如词组#k ick off ?,它本源自足球比赛,意为#以开球的方式开始一场球赛?,但是现在#kick off ?可以指开始任何一件事,而不仅仅只是球赛。 93 第24卷第1期 攀枝花学院学报 2007年2月V o.l 24.N o .1 Journal o f P anzhihua U n i ve rsity F eb .2007

浅析英语俚语及其翻译方法赵杨甩 许多学过英语的人在阅读英文原版书籍或看原版英文影视片时，常常感到有一定的困难，其主要原因是由于不熟悉英语俚语.本文就英语理语的涵义、形式与内容上的特点 及其翻译的方法谈几点看法。 二、英语俚语的特点及理语的使用 第一，常用一些简单易懂、生动活泼的具体事物形象，来表意传情，从而达到幽默、新奇和富有情趣的效果。 例如: (l)facelace脸上的带子。英语俚语表示一个人上了年纪，脸上布满了皱纹。 (2) bailand。hain禁锢犯人的锁链。在英语理语中常用来形容妻子，说明她们爱束缚丈夫。 第二，在使用时多与时间、情景、动物及人身体的部位等有关。例如: (1)blackSunday西方人认为十三是个不吉利的数字，因而遇到13号恰逢星期日时便称之为blaekSunday。 (2) bottle一neek瓶颈，是指拥挤的交通道口。 第三，理语的口语化色彩尤为浓重。 例如:Areyoufit?你准备好了吗?可以了吗? 理语是较常用的一种语言形式，运用恰当就能较形象、生动地表达思想，运用不妥当，
就会词不达意，甚至闹出笑话，令人无所适从。 因此，在使用理语时应注意以下几点: 第一，根据谈话的对象和当时的语言环境精心选择要说的俚语。一般来说，非正式场合如亲朋好友之间或者私人交谈的过程中，均可采用非正式英语、口语甚至健康、活泼带有善意讽刺内容的理语。但在正式场合或大庭广众之中，人们在表达思想时，就应当持谨慎态度，语言应规范，慎用俚语，更要避免和不使用粗俗、低级、庸俗的但语，以免有伤大雅，破坏高雅的气氛。 第二，要准确理解理语概念的含义，掌握其使用方法。对于自己将要使用的理语，一定做到对其含义有一定了解，否则就会成为笑料，有时会在无意中伤害听话者。尤其与外国朋友交谈时，对理语内涵十分清楚时才使用，而且就这样也不应多用。 第三，避免把母语中的俚语直译为英语。每种语言差不多都有俚语这一语言形式，而在不同语言中，理语的内容往往又是千差万别的，有时甚至意义完全相反。如果我们在使用或翻译过程中生搬硬套，就会事与愿违，闹出笑话，洋像百出。 三、英语理语翻译的几种方法 英语理语的翻译方法有许多，如果从内容的角度上看，其翻译大致可分为以下三类 即:委婉语的翻译、赌咒语的翻译和粗俗语的翻译。下面分门别类地分析一下: 第一，英语理语中关于委婉语的翻译，委婉语在理语中所占比
常用英语俚语小汇总 英语俚语是一种非正式的语言，通常用在非正式的场合，所以在用这些俚语是一定要考虑到所用的场合和对象，不要随意用这些俚语。下面是一些常用的俚语。 a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush 一鸟在手，胜似二鸟在林 a blank slate 干净的黑板（新的一页，新的开始） a bone to pick 可挑剔的骨头（争端，不满） a cat nap 打个盹儿 a ouch potato 躺椅上的马铃薯（懒鬼） a headache 头痛（麻烦事） a knock out 击倒（美得让人倾倒） a load off my mind 心头大石落地 a pain in the neck 脖子疼（苦事） a piece of cake 一块蛋糕（小菜一碟，易事一件） a shot in the dark 盲目射击（瞎猜） a sinking ship 正在下沉的船 a slap in the face 脸上挨了一耳光（公然受辱） a social butterfly 社交蝴蝶（善于交际，会应酬的人） a thorn in someone''s side 腰上的荆棘（芒刺在背）
a turn coat 反穿皮袄的人（叛徒） a weight off my shoulders 放下肩头重担 an ace up my sleeve 袖里的王牌 ants in one''s pants 裤裆里有蚂蚁（坐立不安） back in the saddle重上马鞍（重整旗鼓） back on track重上轨道（改过自新） backfire逆火（弄巧成拙，适得其反） ball and chain 铁球铁链，甜蜜的枷（老婆） beat a dead horse 鞭打死马令其奔驰（徒劳） beaten by the ugly stick 被丑杖打过（生得难看） bet your life 把命赌上（绝对错了） better half 我的另一半 big headed 大脑袋（傲慢，自大） bigger fish to fry 有更大的鱼要炸（有更重要的事要办） bite the bullet 咬子弹（强忍痛苦） birds of a feather flock together 羽毛相同的鸟总飞成一群（物以类聚） blow up in you face 在眼前爆炸（事情完全弄砸了） break a let 折断一条腿（表演真实，演出成功） break the ice 破冰（打破僵局） brown nose 讨好，谄媚 bull in a china shop 瓷器店里的蛮牛（笨拙的人，动辄弄坏东
当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你烦透了，说―You are so boring ―.(你真烦！)。―Shut up !‖（闭嘴！）自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句―Oh, come on .Give me a break !‖ (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这多地道、多幽默。 要想说人―气色好‖。―You look fine !‖当然不错，可如果你说‖You’re in the pink !‖就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。 ―他精力充沛‖美国人说：―He is bouncy.‖而不说―He is energetic ‖,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。 如：久仰，―I get mind of you ―.比‖I heard a lot about you.‖轻松得多。 代问他人好当然能用‖Please remember me to your sister .‖ 或‖Please give my best w ishes to your father ‖不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说，―Please give my love to Jim。‖ 在中国可不能随便说―我想你‖，然而，当和西方人分手时说―I will miss you .‖要比说―Goo d-bye‖或―See you soon‖有趣得多，不妨一试。 有人开会迟到了，你若对他说―You are late .‖，听起来象是废话，若说―Did you get lost ?‖，则更能让他歉然，可别说成―Get lost!‖那可是让人滚蛋的意思。 别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要说―You can do that .‖就有点土了，用一句―Do you have the time? ‖实际上，问他人的姓名，地址都可以这么用：―May I have you na me?―要比‖What’s your name ? ‖礼貌得多，不过警察例外。 别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用―It’s my secret ,Don’t ask such a personal question .‖回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说―I would rather not say .‖（还是别说了吧！）。 有时候，你想说什么，可说是想不起来，你可以说―Well …‖―Let me see‖―Just a moment ‖或―It’s on the tip of my tongue.‖等，想比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。 交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说―By the way ‖,实际上，―To change the subject‖―B efore I forget‖―While I remember‖―Mind you ‖都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。 遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，―I know‖可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍―I know‖可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍―I know‖,我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用―I know ‖或―I got it ‖就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说―I’m not clear about it .‖不过如果你会说―It’s past my understanding‖或―It’s beyond me .‖你的教师定会惊讶不已的。 要想将地道习语熟练地运用于口语，下面内容，不可不读： ☆a black sheep 败家子 绵羊一般为白色，一旦成了黑色的绵羊，一定是个―败类‖。 Eric is a black sheep ,splashing one million dollars in a few years . 艾瑞克是个败家子，几年就挥霍了一百万美金。

论英语俚语的翻译 引言 俚语，又称为隐语，是隐藏在普通语言之中的特殊语言，在人们的日常语言交流中，俚语以其活跃、生动的特点，成功获得了人们的喜爱，在人们的沟通交流中这种独特的语言形式展现出了语言的魅力和感染力，已经深深融入到了人们的生活中。随着英语在全世界范围内的广泛使用，英语俚语也随之被世界各地人们所知道。英语俚语在人们生活中被大量使用，经常出现在人们的日常交流和新闻媒体甚至是文学作品中。俚语在英语语种中有着很重要的地位，因此，要了解英语，使用英语并翻译英语，英语俚语是必须要面对的一个重点难点。 一、英语俚语的文化背景 俚语是一种俗语，在语言上是不属于标准英语范畴的，通俗口语化，带有浓厚的方言特性，通常还比较粗俗。在语言的概述里，俚语指的是民间的非正式的语句，源自于百姓日常生活沟通的总结，一般具有很强的地域性和生活性。就像中国的成语和俗语，都是经历长时间的生活积累，在使用中广为人知而后约定成俗，英语俚语，也是这样一个形成过程。在西方的文化中，因为某个时间段某个语句被人们大量接触和使用，又因为一些有趣的巧合或是小故事，被人们热衷使用，保持在当时社会中极高的关注度，在社会中流行开来，经过时间的沉
淀，语义或许会发生一定的改变，最后被标准化流传下来。英语俚语在英语中的来源无从考证，最初是出现在印刷品上，话语出自伦敦的罪犯，这些语言在使用上表示出了很强的负面情绪，大多数来自于社会的阴暗面，出自价值观念的冲突，在使用中经过不断的转变，成为了西方人们生活中的常用语言。 二、俚语的内涵 每一种俚语都有其自身的历史和流行的原因。俚语的内涵主要可以从俚语形成和俚语的使用特性两个方面来理解。从前文英语俚语的文化背景可以知道，俚语非常具有表现力，文字组成很灵活，可以应用于各种语境，在不同的语境下又会展示出不同的含义，非常难以琢磨。在使用中俚语也是多变的，在新的时期会结合新的现象表达出新的含义。俚语的形成方式可以是新概念的更替，可以是语音的扭转、字母顺序的变换或是音形并用等，不过最多的还是以形象的谬误为基础，有效的俚语可以在简短的几个字中把所指之物、用物之人及其社会背景都概括进来。俚语的使用通常是在非正式的场合，因其独特的语言魅力，最受幽默大师和新闻记者的喜爱。 三、俚语翻译理念 翻译，就是把一个国家的文字转变为另一个国家的文字，把一个国家的做品转变为另一个国家的作品，在这个过程中要想保持文字的原汁原味，即在保持原作风味的同时还不能因为文化差异和语言习惯而让人感出牵强生硬的痕迹。英语俚语已
