浅析我国外宣翻译的不足及对策

浅析我国外宣翻译的不足及对策

- 237 -校园英语 / 翻译研究【摘要】中国加入世贸组织以来，外宣翻译的作用日益彰显。

翻译质量的好坏直接决定了中国的国际形象。

因此加强外宣翻译研究，提高翻译质量势在必行。

本文将结合外宣翻译的意义和特点，分析目前我国外宣翻译的不足，并就这些不足提出了几点对策，以更好的促进中国文化“走出去”。

【关键词】外宣翻译 不足 对策一、引言随着全球化的不断发展，中国与世界的联系变得更加紧密。

中国文化如何“走出去”已成为当今世界一个重点话题。

但由于国与国之间存在语言、思维、生活背景上的差异，中国本土的东西输送到国外可能就会出现水土不服，效果大打折扣。

要准确、有效的宣传中国的政治、经济、文化，向世界发出中国声音，很大程度上就需要依靠翻译的力量。

外宣翻译，顾名思义，就是要完成那些以对外宣传材料的翻译任务为基本内容的翻译实践活动的总称。

外宣翻译作为一种特殊的翻译形式，对表达中国观点、促进国家形象的树立和推广、提高中国话语权的作用是毋庸置疑的，这是时代文明传承与交流的需要。

外宣翻译不同于文学类翻译，它是以信息对外传播为目的的，具有信息价值，为的就是要让世界认识、了解中国。

如何让世界了解中国，就要求译者做到“内外有别”，充分考虑国外受众的心理，贴近他们的需求，贴近中国发展的实际，“让译文读者明确无误地理解和把握译文所传递的信息要旨”。

外宣翻译目前在我国是主要的政治宣传工具，具有明显的政治意义。

翻译注重宣传效果，注重国家形象和国家利益的维护。

因此译者要始终站在国家层面，坚持本国所持的政治立场，来赢得国际社会对我国的支持和理解。

在确保政治意义的前提下，对外展开外宣工作带来的最明显、最直接的效果就是产生经济价值。

从路边标语、招商广告到政府文件、经济论坛无一不体现着外宣工作所带来的经济效果。

好的翻译能吸引外商投资，不尽人意的翻译可能造成产品滞销，“一句标语，吓走外商”也不是危言耸听。

另外，外宣翻译对促进文化交流、社会发展具有重要意义。

3.同学们都很讨厌他，因为他经常拍 老师的马屁。
[误] The student all dislike him because he often pats the teacher's ass. [正] The students all dislike him because he often licks the teacher's boots. 注：以前在欧洲，臣民见到国王与王后往往要葡 匐到在，亲吻他们的靴子。后来，人们将 lick the boots 引申为“为了某种目的而讨好某人”，它与 汉语的“拍马屁”含义一样。在美国英语中， “拍马屁”还有另一种说法，即 polish the apple， 它典出以前的学生用擦亮的苹果来讨好老师。
注：原文的“资本”是借喻，实际指“可 以依靠并取得成功的手段”。而英语的 capital 指 money used to produce more wealth or for starting a business，并没有中 文那样的引申意思。所以，这里的“资本” 不能与 capital 画等号。
这只表的价钱很贵。
[误] The price of the watch is dear. [正] The watch is dear. /The price of the watch is high. 注： 以物品为主语时用 dear 或 cheap，以 定价为主语时就说 high 或 low.
昨天晚上我们玩得很愉快。
7.大家都怀疑汤姆是个间谍。
[误] Everyone doubts that Tom is a spy. [正] Everyone suspects that Tom is a spy. 注：doubt 作“怀疑”讲，是“不相信”的意思； 而 suspect 作“怀疑”讲，是指“对...有所察觉”。 第一句译文犯了两个错误：首先，doubt 不能接 that 从句，只有not doubt that 和 doubt if/whether；其次，它所表达的意思是“大家对汤 姆是间谍这件事表示怀疑”，即“大家不相信汤 姆是间谍”，与原文的意思恰好相反。
