第一章翻译的定义和翻译的原则一、翻译的定义1.Translation is the art of recomposing a work in another language without losing its original flavor.( Columbia Encyclopedia )2. Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style. ( Eugene A. Nida )3.翻译是把一种语言表达的意义用另一种语言传达出来,以达到沟通思想感情、传播文化知识、促进社会文明,特别是推动译语文化兴旺昌盛的目的。
(孙致礼2003:6 )二、翻译的原则1. Yan Fu (1854-1921)In translation, there are three aspects difficult to bring about: faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance. It is no easy work to realize ―faithfulness‖! If there is only faithfulness without expressiveness , the translation doesn’t amount to translation. From here we can see expressiveness is of great importance.(译事三难,信,达,雅。
求其信已大难矣!顾信矣不达,虽译犹不译也,则达尚焉)①Japanese army killed millions of innocent people during the war.----那场战争中日本军队屠杀了成百上千无辜的平民②Action is equal to reaction, but it acts in a contrary direction.――作用力与反作用力大小相等,方向相反.③We shall all miss him, but we wish him a long and happy retirement.――我们都会想念他的,我们祝愿他退休后快乐、长寿.④For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.古往今来多少离合悲欢, 谁曾见这样的哀怨辛酸!⑤Crafty men contempt studies, simple men admire them, and wise use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them , won by observation.――有一技之长者鄙读书,无知者慕读书,唯明智之士用读书,然书并不以用处告人,用书之智不在书中,而在书外,全凭观察得之.2. Fu Lei (1908-1966)①From there I could see the whole valley below, the field, the river , and the village. It was all beautiful, and the sight of it filled me with longing.――从这里望下去,整个山谷一览无遗,只见那田野、河流、村庄,全都美不胜收,真叫我心驰神往.②He carried on a business , but brought his pigs to the wrong market.――他经营生意,可是几乎血本无归.3.Qian Zhongshu①Capri is a gaunt rock of austere outline, bathed in a deep blue sea; but its vineyards, green and smiling, give ita soft and easy grace. It is friendly, remote, and debonair.卡普里岛是一块外形突兀的荒凉的岩石,沐浴在深蓝色的海洋里,但是它的葱绿的葡萄园仿佛在向人微笑,使这个海岛增添了几分令人舒爽的温柔宁静的姿色,卡普里岛远离尘嚣,但景色宣人,生机盎然。
《英汉翻译教程》第一章总论翻译是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思维内容准确完整地重新表达出来的语言活动。
(张培基等1983)我国早期典籍《周礼·秋官司寇》篇里就有“象胥”(谓通言语之官)这一名目,唐朝贾公彦所作的《义疏》里提到“译即易,谓换易言语使相解也。
”这条注疏,关于翻译的定义,足以给人不少启发。
用现代文艺理论和语言理论,也许可以诠释为:翻译是把一种语言文字换易成另一种语言文字,而并不变更所蕴含的意义,——或用近年流行的术语说,并不变更所传递的信息,——以达到彼此沟通,互相了解的目的。
(罗新璋1984)一、关于翻译何谓翻译?关于翻译的定义很多。
根据《现代汉语词典》,翻译是“把一种语言文字的意义用另一种语言文字表达出来”。
根据《剑桥语言百科全书》,“翻译”这个中性术语是指将一种语言(“原语”)里的词句的意思转变为另一种语言(“目的语”)的意思所做的一切,不论其手段是说话、写字还是做手势。
美国著名翻译理论家奈达认为,所谓翻译,是指从语义到语体在译语中用最切近而又最自然的对等语再现原语的信息。
(《奈达论翻译》,1984)有人把翻译看作是一门科学(science),因为它有自身的规律可循;有人看作是一门艺术(art),因为它是译者对原文再创造的过程;也有人看作是一门手艺(craft),因为原语的信息需要用地道恰当的目的语再现。
在自动化数据处理中,翻译又被定义为:“将计算机信息从一种语言转换成另一种语言,或将字符从一种表示转换成另一种表示。
”(《现代科学技术词典》上海科学技术出版社1980)凡此种种,不一而足。
但是,在经济和文化日益全球化的今天,翻译的重要性是有目共睹的。
翻译是国际间理解的钥匙,据说西欧的文明归功于翻译者(据L·G·凯里1979)。
季羡林教授也说,翻译是永葆中华文明青春的万应灵药。
前中国驻联合国代表凌青先生说,从中国来讲,没有翻译工作,就没有中国***和中国近代的革命运动,就没有中国成功的对外开放和四个现代化;从世界范围来讲,没有翻译,就没有世界和平,就没有各种国际交往,就没有一个共同繁荣的美好世界的未来。

(后置)We worked fast and well, so that we overfulfilled our production plan. (后置)我们工作得又快又好,超额完成了生产计划。
(后置)4、He is the last man to come.他是最后来的。
He is the last man to do it.他是绝不会干那件事。
He is the last person for such a job.他最不配干这个工作。
He should be the last (man) to blame.怎么也不该怪他。
He is the last man to consult.根本不宜找他商量。

5、He was a man of integrity, but unfortunately he had a certainreputation. I believe the reputation was not deserved.他是一个正直诚实的人,但不幸有某种坏名声。
我相信他这个坏名声是不该有的。
6、He had lied to me and made me the tool of his wicked deeds.他欺骗了我,使我成了进行罪恶勾当的工具。
6. the statement that oil originated in the sea is confirmed by a glance at a map showing that chief oilfields of the world;very few of them are far distant from the oceans of today.石油原于大海的这种观点是被人们所认可的,你要看一眼世界主要油井的分布图就一目了然了,几乎没有远离现在海洋的油井。
7. the rocks in which oil is found are of marine origin too.石油存在处的岩石也都有海洋的渊源。
8. A very common sedimentary rock is called shale,which is a soft rock and was obviously formed by being deposited on the sea bed. And where there is shale there is likely to be oil.一块极普通的沉积岩叫页岩,这种页岩质地松软,很明显是通过海底沉积作用形成的。

《英汉翻译教程》第一章 总论 翻译是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思维内容准确完整地重新表达出来的语言翻译应当把原文的本意,完全正确的介绍给中国读者,使中国读者得到的概念等于英俄日德法等国的读奈达认为更准确地反映出好的翻译的实际过程是:(1)分析:从语法和语义两方面对原文的信息进行词层不对等的情况 词层不对等采取的策略 对等译法的实例 第二章 词语翻译 相关链接 family的------------------------2009年11月30日阅读 三、修辞引申 “言之无文,行之不远。

接表达出来的语言活动。
(张培基等 1983) 我国早期典籍《周礼·秋官司寇》篇里就有“象胥于英俄日德法等国的读者从原文得来的概念。
(瞿秋白:1931) “动态对等”(Dynamic Equivalence)是奈方面对原文的信息进行分析;(2)传译:译者在脑子里把经过分析的信息从原语转译成译语;(3)重新组织:把相关链接 family的译法: 原文:Do you have a family? 译文1:你有家庭吗? 译文2:你成家了吗? 辨析:现原作中包含的内容外,还得讲究修辞。
这样,在翻译时,往往因修辞需要而增添一些引申意义。
英汉翻译教程张培基第一讲翻译原则简介一、教学目的:了解基本的翻译原则和翻译研究的问题二、教学过程:1.翻译的定义和内涵:(Definition and Connotation)Translation is an art/ science/craf2.中国几位翻译家的理论(influential translation principles)严复:信达雅-—- faithfulness/expressiveness/elegance。
The “three character guide" is regarded as a plumb—line of long standing to measure the professional level of translating.傅雷:神似--—spiritual conformity。
Emphasizing the reproduction of the spirit of the flavor of the original。
强调原作神韵再现。
钱钟书:化境--—sublimed adaptation. Focus on the translator’s smooth and idiomatic Chinese version for the sake of the Chinese reader.刘重德:信、达、切-——faithfulness/expressiveness/closeness.3.中国翻译史上的论争:鲁迅:宁信而不顺-—-rather to be faithful than smooth。
目的:引入英文句式的表达法梁实秋、赵景深:宁顺而不信--—rather to be smooth than faithful 目的:可读性强,便于交流.4.直译与意译:直译—--literal translation意译:free translation直译的例子:crocodile tears鳄鱼的眼泪; armed to the teeth武装到牙齿; chain reaction连锁反应;gentlemen's agreement君子协定; one country, two systems 一国两制;The three religions and the nine schools of thought 三教九流;paper tiger 纸老虎; Breath one’s last——-断气; go to one’s external rest——-安息; the long sleep——-长眠;see Marx 见马克思; Go west 上西天; go to heaven 上天堂; blow out the candles 吹灯拔蜡kick the bucket 蹬腿:直译不等于死译(dead translation):街道妇女应动员起来打扫卫生:Women in the street should be called on to do some cleaning.“In the street" should be replaced by “in the community”.她一大早起床,进城,见到了她的公爹:She got up early, went to the town and saw her public father。
Public father should be father in law.意译的例子:It rains cats and dogs / at sixes and sevens /Adam’s apple句子比较:Little fish does not eat big fish直译:小鱼不吃大鱼意译:胳膊拧不过大腿试译:天有不测风云,人有旦夕祸福:直译:Storms gather without warning in nature and bad luck befalls men overnight.意译:The weather and human life are both unpredictable有人说,翻译是带着镣铐跳舞(translation is like dancing in fetters);还有人说,翻译像女人,忠实的不漂亮,漂亮的不忠实。
实际上,忠实与通顺的关系是辩证关系。
5.归化与异化(domestication/adaptation or foreignization / alienation)归化的翻译在理论上是把语言看作交际工具;在实践上,强调通俗易懂,避免多义或歧义。
习惯认为,当原文与译文之间因文化差异而出现不能通达的情况时,“要用译语文化替代原语文化"即把在译语中找不到对等的外语词汇改头换面,或套用译语中与之相似的现成的表达法,把它们变成读者熟悉的译语文化形象.归化派代表人物尤金•奈达(Eugene A。
Nida):Functional Equivalence 功能对等What is functional equivalence?“The receptors of the translated text could respond to it with comprehension and appreciation in essentially the same manner and to the same degree as the original receptors of the message”;“Translation should arouse the same feeling in its receptors as the feeling of the readers of the original"---- NidaFor instance: as white as snow 通常译为白如雪 / 但没有见过雪的人可以将其翻译为“白如白鹭毛”,以达到功能对等的目的。
Spring up like mushrooms—-—雨后春笋Everybody’s business is nobody’s business. 三个和尚无水喝Among the blind the one —eyed man is king. 山中无老虎,猴子称霸王然而,翻译负有文化交流的使命,即尽可能把一个民族的语言和文化习惯介绍给另一个民族.鲁迅先生就特别强调译文要“保留原文的丰姿”。
在南京大学姜秋霞教授举办的一次翻译调查中,多数读者认为,读异国文学是为了欣赏异国作品特有的韵味和语言风格,他们在读译文之前就已经对不同文化的差异有了一定的心理准备,有些人读译文的目的之一是想了解外国人与中国人之间的异同究竟在什么地方。
因此,从促进世界文化交流这个角度上讲,我们在处理英译汉或汉译英时,都应着力于全面、完整地向译语读者介绍对方(己方)的全部意蕴,包括文化。
特别要强调的是,在汉译英中,我们尤其要树立这种文化意识,积极创造条件,弘扬中华文化,帮助英语读者扩大加深对中华文化的了解。
异化的翻译无疑在文化交流方面起了巨大的作用。
异化派代表人物韦努蒂(Lawrence Venuti ):All roads lead to Rome:条条大道通罗马不能译成:殊途同归To teach one’s grandmother to eat eggs:教老祖母吃鸡蛋不能译成:班门弄斧班门弄斧:show off one’s proficiency with the axe before Lu Ban, the master carpenter.Hence:Make hay while it is sunshine: 不能译成:趁热打铁If I slapped someone, He would see the way to Cracow:要是我给谁一巴掌,准会把他扇到克拉科去。
不能:一巴掌扇到西天去。
武松要吃酒,哪里听他人发说,一转身道:“放屁!放屁!”pass your wind/sheer nonsense6.段落翻译练习:沿着荷塘,是一条曲折的小煤屑路。
这是一条幽僻的路;白天也少人走,夜晚更加寂寞。
荷塘四面,长着许多树,蓊蓊郁郁的。
路的一旁,是些杨柳,和一些不知道名字的树。
没有月光的晚上,这路上阴森森的,有些怕人.今晚却很好,虽然月光也还是淡淡的。
Beside the lotus pond there is a small tortuous cinder path。
This is a secluded road even by day, more isolated still at night。
Around the pond, there are many trees rich in leaves, lush and green. There are some willows along the path, and some trees whose names I do not know。
When there is no moonlight the road and pond have a haunted disconcerting feel to them。
Tonight is not bad, even though the moon looks pale。
第二讲翻译的过程一、教学目的:怎样去理解和表达;学会表达的基本策略。
二、教学过程:1.理解与表达:He found them pushing needles, thread, pots, pans, ribbons, yarns, scissors and buttons to house wives.他发现他们在向家庭主妇推销针头线脑,锅碗瓢盆。
(国外没有瓢)改为:他发现他们在向家庭主妇推销针线,锅罐,绸带,剪刀和钮扣。
Do you see any green in my eye? 你以为我是好欺骗的吗?It is an order from President Bush/ I don't care if it is from bush, tree, or grass.这是布什总统的命令,管他什么布什,布头儿,布片儿,我才不在乎呢。
The old man's heart missed a beat when he saw the pearl.这位老人一看到这颗珍珠高兴得连心都跳不过来。
A good dancer never missed a beat.善于跳舞的人从不漏跳一拍(总能跟上节拍/总能采对步点)If we don’t hang together, they shall hang us separately。
