三、意译法free translation语言是文化的组成部分和载体。
不同民族的文化之间既存在着差异又互相联系，既有各自独特的个性又有普遍的共性。
这种不同文化之间的共性为两种语言文化的交流——翻译提供了基础和可行性。
而两种语言文化的个性又给这种交流和翻译造成障碍和困难。
口译时，如果按字面意思直译，意思可能含糊不请，不能确切表达原话的信息和文化内涵，有时还可能引起严重曲解，甚至与原意风牛马不相及，完全两回事。
这时译员就要根据具体情况，采取其他变通办法，作适当的语法和词汇调整，或进行解释性翻译，或说明具体内容，关键是要译出原话的真正含义。
这就是意译。
例如，以下英语词语和句子若按字面意思或对等关系直译，结果不是产生歧义就是词不达意，只有意译才能确切表达原意。

目前我们的对外宣传中出现了很多汉语新词语，这些词语都有特定的含义。

遇到这种情况，只能采取意译的方法。
试比较以下汉语词语和句子的直译与意译的不同效果。
