第10章Division(拆译法)10.1 复习笔记In division, we have to determine where to divide, how to divide, what the subject or the predicate of the new clause or sentence should be, and how to rearrange various parts of the original sentence. These may involve such techniques as Conversion, Addition and Inversion.拆分时要注意以下问题:在哪里拆分,怎样拆分,新的从句或句子的主语、谓语分别是什么,以及如何重新组织这些部分。
这里涉及到的技巧有转换法、增补法和倒置法。
一、Picking Out of Words(拆译单词)It is advisable to pick out those words which are hard to reproduce in the original structure and expand them into Chinese word groups, clauses or sentences. There are usually three steps to deal with such words:翻译过程中,如果一个单词的意义很难用汉语在原有句法框架下表达出来,就可以把该单词抽取出来,并将其扩展为汉语词组、从句或句子。
具体操作步骤如下:1. Determine which word(s) to pick out;确定需要抽取出来的单词;2. Apply Conversion or Addition, if necessary, to make the translated version smooth and well-connected;必要时运用转换法或增补法,使译文流畅、通顺;3. Rearrange the word order according to the Chinese mode of expression.根据汉语表达习惯,重新组织语序。
英译汉教程练习参考答案Key to the Exercises (for reference only)Keys to the exercises for the first semester1 They considered that such work is of particular relevance in helping developing countries, in particular governments and SMEs, to better understand and participate in processes under way in other intergovernmental organizations dealing with telecommunications and their trade applications, in particular the International Telecommunications Union and World Trade Organization.1) Analysis of the original:A) Grammatical analysis:The selection consists of a single sentence, consisting of a main clause and an object clause. Additionally, in the sentence, in particular governments and SMEs is embedded as a parenthesis. In the object clause, better understand and participate in processes could be understood as better understand the processes and better participate in them. Then the word processes is modified by both under way and in other intergovernmental organizations. It can be understood that the processes are dealing with… or preferably, other intergovernmental organizations are dealing with … . However, the International Telecommunications Union and World Trade Organization is in apposition to other intergovernmental organizations.B) Stylistic analysis:Stylistically speaking, the selection consists of a periodic sentence for the embedding of a parenthesis. In terms of structure, the sentence is rather formal and complicated in that it is grammatically complete and every grammatical unit is formally connected with every relevant others. The complication mainly lies in the gerundial phrase helping…, which takes an object and an object complement, consisting of two coordinate verb phrases and the word processes is followed by two attributes, as revealed in the grammatical analysis. And the content in the prepositional phrase in particular… is used to specify or exemplify the content in another prepositional phrase in other intergovernmental organizations…. In the selection, parallel structures could be easily identified, for example, governments and SMEs; to better understand and participate; telecommunications and their trade applications; the International Telecommuni- cations Union and World Trade Organization; in other intergovernmental organizations dealing with telecommunications and their trade applications, and in particular the International Telecommunications Union and World Trade Organization. In terms of lexical cohesive device, examples could be found as follows:particular, organization, telecommunications, and others are repeatedly used; government is used as a partial repetition for intergovernmental, though of different categories. In the selection, formal words, including nominalizations, are frequently used, for example, consider, particular, relevance, developing, country, government, understand, participate, telecommunications, and many others.2) Staged translation:A) Translation 1:他们认为,这样的工作在帮助发展中国家,尤其在帮助政府和中小企业,关系甚为密切,以更好地理解并参与到正在进行的过程中去,参与到其他政府间的组织中去,应付通讯和电讯的贸易应用,尤其在国际电讯联盟和世界贸易组织中。

3. Credit cards enable their holders to obtain goods and services on credit. They are issued by retail stores, banks, credit card companies to approved clients. The bank or credit card company settles the client’s bills, invoicing him monthly andcharging interest on any outstanding debts. Their profits come from the high rate of interest charged, the card-holder’s subscriptions, and the fees paid by some organizations that accept cards.【译文】信用卡能使持卡人通过赊账的方式购买商品,得到服务。
求则得之Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7你们祈求,就给你们;寻找,就能找到;叩门,就给你们开门。
因为凡祈求的就得到,寻找的就寻见,叩门的就给他开门。

那一天,我们肯定接到过15次或20次火警电话,最大的火灾发生在一栋废弃楼房背后的一个车库,光棉裹的水管就拖拽了有600英尺长。

有一篇文章居然公开宣称:诺贝尔文学奖得主,爱尔兰文艺复兴运动的领袖——威廉·巴特勒·叶芝超越了其爱尔兰精神,将永远作为一位世界诗人而被人铭记。

对叶芝这份爱尔兰遗产,我十分引以为豪,很少有什么东西能够胜之。
我服兵役时曾从兵营书架上拿起一本叶芝的诗集,从那时起,他就成为了我最喜爱的爱尔兰作家,其次才是希恩·奥凯西和詹姆斯·乔伊斯。
连淑能《英译汉教程》TranslationofLongSentences(长句译法)【圣才出品】第13章Translation of Long Sentences(长句译法)13.1 复习笔记Translating long English sentences involves not only a mixed application of various techniques but also a careful analysis of their grammatical structures and logical sequences.英语长句的翻译不仅涉及复杂的翻译技巧,还要求对其句法结构和逻辑顺序进⾏细致的分析。
⼀、Features of Long English Sentences(英语长句的特点)English speakers build up long sentences in an “architectural style”. They pay more attention to construct “spatial structure”, often regardless of temporal sequences. It seems to us Chinese that they build basic structures in five patterns, namely, S + V, S + V + P, S + V + O, S + V + o + O, and S + V + O + C as mainstays, with words, phrases, or clauses as members of sentences, then join directly or indirectly, various kinds of nexuses composed of words ,phrases, or clauses as modifiers ,to the mainstays of the basic structures. Here, among other things, English inflection and function words play important roles in connecting various parts grammatically and in showing their relations logically.英语长句是按照“楼房建筑法”组织起来的:主⼲是五种句⼦结构,即主+谓,主+系+表,主+谓+宾,主+谓+宾+宾,主+谓+宾+补;枝叶是由词语、词组、从句等组成的各种各样的关系。

第15章Translation of Proper Nouns and Technical Terms(专有名词和专门术语译法)15.1 复习笔记English proper nouns include names of persons, places, organizations ,newspapers, periodicals, radios, news agencies, books, films, etc. English technical terms include, broadly speaking, special words or expressions for things and ideas used in any branch of science and technology.英语专有名词包括人名、地名、组织名、报纸名、期刊名、广播台名、通讯社名、书名、电影名等等。
英语专有术语主要包括在技术科学、社会科学、自然科学等领域广泛运用的特殊词汇或特殊表达。
Many troubles arise in translating proper names and technical terms. Great confusion may come from.在翻译专有名词和专有术语的时候会遇到一些棘手的问题,这些问题主要来源于:1. Transliteration of proper names from English spelling or pronunciation;对英语专有名词的发音直接进行音译;2. Variation in the spoken sound of Chinese characters used in translated names;汉语中部分汉字的发音有地域区别;3. Large number of homonyms, homophones and homographs in Chinese;汉语中有大量同音字、多音字和同形字;4. Mixed use of old and new translated names.新译法和旧译法的混合使用。
第4章Conversion(转换法)4.1 复习笔记一、Conversion of Word Classes(转换词类)In translation, a word in one language belonging to a certain word class is not necessarily translated into one of the same class in another language.在翻译过程中,一种语言的某一词类不一定要相应地译为另一语言中相应的词类,有时候进行适当转化是十分必要的。
1. Conversion from English Nouns and Adjectives into Chinese Verbs and Adverbs(英语名词、形容词转换为汉语动词、副词)Nouns or nominal dorms, especially action nouns and other abstract nouns, find their wider use in English while verbs or multi-verbal forms are much preferred in Chinese. In translation, therefore, the conversion of English nouns into Chinese verbs, and subsequently English adjectives into Chinese adverbs, becomes one of the techniques frequently employed for smooth representation in idiomatic Chinese.英语中多用名词或名词短语,尤其是动作名词和其他抽象名词,而汉语中多用动词,甚至多个动词连用的情况。

我其实很早就想要考研了,只是在后期老是拖延复习时间。
拖到8月份才开始正式备考。
希望大家一定要尽早复习,否则时间太紧张的话,自己的压力也会很大。
大家在复习之前可以先去论坛逛逛,可以学到不少复习经验,也会有一些学姐学长帮你解惑。
我备考的时候在论坛上受到了很多人的帮助,也看到了很多学长学姐的经验贴,真的是万分感激。
所以今天我来聊一聊自己的备考经验,也希望能够给各位学弟学妹们一些参考经验,能帮助到你们也会让我觉得更加开心。
MTI研究生入学考试科目为四科:政治、211翻译硕士英语、357翻译基础、448百科知识与写作。
其中政治是全国统考科目,其他三科均为各大高校自主命题。
政治我当时大概每天复习时间一个半小时左右,用的《李凡政治新时器》我的政治得分是几个科目里面的最高分。
大家做好复习计划,循序渐进。
西南大学官方指定参考书目:连淑能《英译汉教程》、曾诚《实用汉英翻译教程》。
对于基础相对薄弱的同学来说,一定要充分认识到自己具体知识的薄弱点,要尽早合理地安排复习计划弥补自己基础知识的不足。
接下来介绍一下翻译硕士英语的复习经验。
西南大学的硕士英语可以说是非常难以捉摸的。
我之前看学姐的经验贴说她们考的题型为单选,完型,阅读,改错,作文,但是我拿到的卷子和学姐讲的题型一点也不一样,变化太大了,简直猝不及防。
今年考的是15个选择题,还有两段很简单的阅读,两个短语,以及一段文学翻译。
文学翻译好像是出自于《马丁﹒伊登》的节选,我觉得挺难的。
因为西大以前的真题从来没有出现过文学翻译,所以我没怎么准备文学翻译,以至于在考试的时候这个文学翻译花费了我很大的精力,也占用了很长的考试时间,导致之后没有足够的时间打磨作文的语言。
最后一题是作文Do you agree travels help the understanding and communication between countries? 这个作文不难,出的题型很常规。
大家参考专八的作文就知道了。
