附录翻译练笔材料及详解一、英文短篇1A faint whinny, ①penetrating her dreams, woke the little girl on the veranda. When she opened her eyes it was still not quite light and the tall gums crowding the steep rise to the road ②loomed up darkly over the house, only leaving a pale strip of sky. ③Dew lay heavy on everything -the bark woodshed, the wheelbarrow by the stump, the bracken on the edge of the bush. From the spouting trickled beads of water, dimming the flywire that netted the veranda.Warm in her blankets, the little girl looked drowsily up at ④the dark shape that always frightened her at bedtime; it had the beard and hunched shoulders of an old man and stretched out a dead hand. Now, in the growing light, it was only a tree, no different from the other trees. Noises were beginning to seep through the woolly mist -⑤the yellow robin’s plucked string, clop-clop and jingle of a farmer’s cart on the road above, snort of the pony that was always brought into the paddock near the house at night-time.【参考译文】一阵轻微的马嘶声①闯进了睡在阳台上的小妞的梦乡,把她惊醒了。
第2章确定词义,表达得体2.1 复习笔记第1节确定词义不能望文生义,否则会引起实际翻译工作中的很大失误。
1. The School of the Air (the school of the air)【正译】广播学校(即通过电台对各地学生授课的学校)【误译】空军学校2. a family tree【正译】家谱【误译】一棵家庭树3. 协议书【正译】Agreement(or:Written Agreement)【误译】Agreement Book4. 王教授精通小学和《大学》。
【译文】Professor Wang is a master of the study of ancient forms,phonologyand meaning of written language as well as of the book The Great Learning.【解析】此句中的“小学”不能译成“primary school”或“elementary school”,《大学》也不能译为什么“university”之类。
因为“小学”在此句中的意思是指研究文字古字形、训诂、音韵的学问;《大学》是我国古代经典著作《四书》之一。
第2节表达得体一、表达得体表达得体就是使译文恰如其分,不仅和原文的意思相符而且和原文的风格相符。
二、翻译中做到表达得体的方法1. 要联系上下文,这是确定词义、表达得体的基础。
2. 注意文字表达的分寸与褒贬。
3. 活用词典,即不能照抄词典上的译文。
只能根据各种词典所赋予的基本意思,融会贯通,自己创造出恰如其分的措词或词典上碰巧合适的译文。
4. 充分发挥汉语和英语的优势,使译文更地道,做到精益求精。
英、汉语各有自己的优势。
从下面例句,特别是译文中对成语的使用,可以看出汉语的优势所在。
①What we were offered was a big fat zero.我们得到的是一个大零蛋。
②Carter is shooting at oil now, but who will be next?卡特现在正拿石油开刀,下一个目标是谁呢?第3节正确理解与表达译例一、应用文方面的译例汉语中同样一个字,所处的上下文不同,译法就会各不相同:1. ××书:①申请书Letter of Application②报告书Report③协议书Agreement2. ××启事:①招领启事Found②鸣谢启事Acknowledgments③征稿启事Contributions Wanted④更正启事Corrections以上为汉译英的例子。

翻译过程:译文表达表达是指译者把自己对原文内容的理解用本族语/或另一种语言重新表达出来。
表达的好坏主要决定于对原文理解的深度和对译文语言的修养程度和驾驭能力。
表达是理解的结果,但理解正确并不一定意味着表达得正确。
