2018考研英语冲刺之长难句翻译赏析

2018考研英语冲刺之长难句翻译赏析 所谓长难句,就是指句子中有着复杂的结构和一些生僻名词或者熟词僻意词汇,句子本身较长,结构复杂,理解有难度,试想,如果句子中的词汇不是很熟悉,一定会对理解造成一定的影响,考研英语一中会出现超纲词汇,考生不可避免的会“懵”出词汇含义,这就考察到翻译的技巧。下面为考生展现了一些晶灿的长难句翻译,希望考生从中领悟翻译精髓。 It is not obvious how the capacity to visualize s and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers. 【精彩译文】构思物体和找出数字模型的能力是如何让一个人去回答那些连最好的诗人和哲学家都回避的问题的,这点我们还不是很清楚。 Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters,whether it’s knowing when to guess or what question to skip. 【精彩译文】任何一个参加过SAT考试的人都会证实考试的技巧也很重要,无论这种技巧是知道什么时候去猜还是知道什么问题应该跳过。 On another level ,many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying. 【精彩译文】在另一个层面上,很多医疗界的人事承认,关于医生帮助下的自杀的讨论部分是因为病人的绝望情绪,对病人来说,现代医学已经延长了死亡的身体痛苦。 The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training , and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom . 【精彩译文】很自然,这种趋势会在尤以数学或实验室训练为基础的自然科学领域中表现得最为明显,并且可以用英国的地质学发展作为例证来说明。 The findings add weight to the theory that large areas of the Amazon have recovered so well from past periods of agricultural use that the regrowth has been mistaken by generations of biologists for“birgin”forest. 【精彩译文】有理论认为亚马逊流域很大一部分从过去的农业耕作中如此完美地恢复了过来,以至于哪些重新生长的部分被好几代生物学家都错误地认为是原始森林。这些发现进一步地证明了这一理论。 An invisible border divides those arguing for computers in the classroom on the behalf of student’s career prospects and those arguing for computers in the classroom for broader reasons of radical education reform. 【精彩译文】一条五星的界限将支持计算机课堂的人分成两类:一类是从学生的职业前景出发考虑的,另一类人想得是像教育的彻底改革这样的一些更广泛的理由。 Instead , we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles , which now more than

科技英语翻译的原则_方法及技巧.

翻译是把一种语言里已经表达出来的事物用另一种语言准确流畅地进行重新表达的过程。与其他题材的文章相比,科技专业文章在内容、表达形式和风格上有很大的差别,具有科技性强、专业性强、逻辑严密、表达要求简练的特点,在翻译上力求准确全面、严谨明确和通顺简练。 1科技英语翻译遵循的基本原则 从科技文章的特点来看,大多具有以下几个特征:述说事理、逻辑性强、结构严密、术语繁多,语言严谨、数据精确。这就要求译文必须概念清楚、条理分明、逻辑正确、数据无误,尤其对定义、定律、公式、图表、结论等更应特别注意。科技英语作为特殊英语的一个分支,在词汇构成、遣词造句等方面都有其自身的特点,其语法结构不十分严密、语言习惯和汉语也有不少差别、词汇量大、词语繁多,因此科技英语翻译起来比较困难。另外,科技文章比较重视叙事逻辑上的连贯及表达上的明晰与畅达; 避免行文晦涩,避免表露个人感情,避免论证上的主观随意性。因此,科技英语翻译力求少用或不用描述性形容词以及具有抒情作用的副词、感叹词及疑问词,而是大量使用科技词汇、专业技术用语,译者应尊重客观事实,不能随意改动数据、回避不易翻译的文字,更不能加进自己的主观想象,进行自由翻译。 我国著名翻译家严复提出的“信、达、雅”三准则一直为不少翻译工作者所接受。 “信”指的是译文要忠实于原文,“达”是指译文的通顺达意,“雅”指的是译文的用词修辞。三准则体现了译文和原文信息等值这一基本要领。 “信、达、雅”的翻译准则对各种英语文体的翻译实践都具有指导意义,是衡量一篇译文好坏的标准,也同样适用于科技文献的翻译。由于科技文章特有的文体特征,与其他类文章相比,其“达”和“雅”的内涵不同,它要求在准确传达信息的基础上,使译文更加简洁明快,流畅通顺。2科技英语翻译的基本方法

2018考研英语:教你更好地理解翻译中的原文

2018考研英语:教你更好地理解翻译中的原文 (1)搞清句子结构,辨别主语和谓语。抓住了句子的主干,各部分之间的从属关系也就看得比较清楚,有益于从整体把握句子。 (2)理解虚拟语气。虚拟语气是英语特有的一种表达方式。它包括对现在、未来、过去的假设,在英语中有多种表现,译成汉语时一定要弄清它的对象和范围,尽量把虚拟的意思传达出来。 (3)搞清楚关系。句中如果有代词,应根据上下文找出其所指代的内容,并将其准确地翻译出来。 (4)明白否定的方式。英语思维的特点也表现在它对否定式的用法上,中国读者往往容易在这里产生错误。例如 All that glitters is not gold.(发光的未必都是金子)在这里是以全部否定的形式来表达部分否定的事实。英语也用双重否定表示肯定,这种现象英语中常见,汉语中并不常见,翻译时需要多加注意。 (5)一词多义。一词多义是很常见的现象。判断词义一定要根据上下文确定其具体的义,不能因为是过去认识的词便不加深究,便草率地按以前的理解翻译而产生错误。如Don’t worry about preparations for this year’s July Fourth parade. Everything is in apple pie order。(别担心今年国庆日游行的准备事宜,样样东西都弄妥当了)如按通常的理解以为apple是“苹果”的意思,就出错了。 (6)注意英国英语和美国英语的不同。英美语言之间有很多差异,比如 英国英语中continent指欧洲大陆,而在美语中,continent却指美洲大陆 又如 英语中homely是“家常的、朴素的”的意思,并无贬义,在美语中却是“不漂亮的”。所以翻译时一定要搞清文章是英语作者还是美国作者写的。 (7)成语。成语具有约定俗成的特点,属于语言中较难理解的部分。英语的某些成语具有形象思维的特点,可以和汉语相吻合,比如 Strike the iron as it is hot.(趁热打铁)但有一个成语的含义与我们的理解大相径庭,如 Claw me and I will claw thee.(互相吹捧)所以翻译时一定要小心。 (8)语意的褒贬与轻重。翻译时还要注意词语的感情色彩,即它是褒、是贬,还是中性。这种感情色彩往往表明了作者的主观态度,好恶与爱憎。把握住它对于正确、传神的翻译是非常必要的。有时单凭个别词是难以判断的,还要根据上下文来判断,因为为达到讽刺的目的,作者可能正话反说或反话正说。 (9)注意文章的语体色彩。如果是专业文章,那么术语一定很多,叙述也较客观,少有个人色彩,翻译时应多选用正式的词语。如果是一般的叙述,则可能日常用语较多,小词和短语较多。翻译时也要注意这一点,以此来确定词语的选择。 (10)留心文化背景。中西文化的差异非常明显。比如,中国的亲戚划分非常仔细,而英

2018年考研英语冲刺翻译训练的三个步骤

2018年考研英语冲刺:翻译训练的三个步骤 新东方在线推荐: 总的来说,翻译句子的方法分为三个步骤:分析句子结构--准确判断词义--重组翻译。 今天我们就以2005年的第一句话为例,来看看这三步应该如何分析。 【例句】Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe. (一)分析句子结构 通读这句话,我们会发现这是个由and连接的两个并列句。这时就需要我们分别分析and前后的两个分句。 and之前的一句话:Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed. 其主语是television,谓语是be动词is,宾语是one of the means,其后还有by which引导的定语从句修饰先行 词one of the means. 这句话的结构比较简单。 and之后的一句话:perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe. 这句话由于否定副词never before置于句首引起部分倒装,所以应该首先将其还原为正常语序:It perhaps has never served so much... to connect different peoples and nations是不定式结构做目的状语。as in the recent events in Europe是as引导的比较状语从句,这里也省略了主句提到的内容,补充完整是as it has served to connect different peoples and nations in the recent events in Europe.这句话的结构较前一句话相对复杂。 (二)判断词义 【means】作为名词,表示方式,途径 【these feelings】指示代词,指代前面(非划线部分)的skepticism and optimism。所以feelings这里应译为情绪或感受,而不是感情。 【create】引发 【convey】传达 【it】代词,需要找到它所指代的名词,television 【serve so much】serve这里不是大家熟悉的意思服务,应该意译为发挥很大的作用 【peoples】复数形式,表示民族

1、1994年 Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. According to the new school of scientists, technology is an overlooked force in expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge. (71) Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools. (72) "In short" , a leader of the new school contends, "the scientific revolution, as we call it, was largely the improvement and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded the reach of science in innumerable directions. " (73)Over the years, tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science. The modern school that hails technology algues that such masters as Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and inventors such as Edison attached great importance to, and derived great benefit from, craft information and technological devices of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments. The centerpiece of the argument of a technology-yes , genius-no advocate was an analysis of Galileo' s role at the start of the scientific revolution. The wisdom of the day was derived from Ptolemy, an astronomer of the second century, whose elaborate system of the sky put Earth at the center of all heavenly motions. (74)Galileo' s greatest glory was that in 1609 he was the first person to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens to prove that the planets revolve around the sun rather than around the Earth. But the real hero of the story, according to the new school of scientists, was the long evolution in the improvement of machinery for making eyeglasses . Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs. genius dispute. (75)Whether the Government should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice versa (反之) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force. 精美译文 新学派的科学家认为,技术是扩大科学知识的范围中被忽视的力量。(71)他们说,科学的发展与其说源于天才伟人的真知灼识,不如说源于改进了的技术和工具等等更为普通的东西。(72)新学派的一位领袖人物坚持说:“简言之,我们所称谓的科学革命,主要是指一系列器具的改进、发明和使用,这些改进、发明和使用使科学发展的范围无所不及。 (73)工具和技术本身作为根本性创新的源泉多年来在很大程度上被科学史学家和科学思想家们忽视了。为技术而欢呼的现代学派争辩说,像伽利略、牛顿、麦克斯威尔、爱因斯坦这样的科学大师和像爱迪生这样的发明家十分重视科学实验中能使用的各种不同的工艺信息和技术装置并从中受益匪浅。 鼓吹技术第一、天才第二的论据的核心是分析了科学革命初期伽利略的作用。那时的聪明才智取自第二世纪的天文学家托勒密;了精心创立的太空体系把地球置于所有天体运动的中心。(74)伽利略的最光辉的业绩在于他在1609年第一个把新发明的望远镜对准天空,

2010.02 College English 研英语翻译部分是一篇400字左右组成的文章,其中包含5个划线句子,要求30分钟内准确、完整、通顺地译为汉语。作为限时完成的测试科目,考研英语翻译难度较大,众多非英语专业考生普遍感到头疼。本文通过对近十几年来考研英译汉 真题的分析,根据其特点提出了一些解题技巧。 1.试题特点 考研英语翻译的短文内容大多涉及社会生活、政治、经济、文化等题材,且体裁基本上都是议论文。通过对最近十几年来考研英语翻译的真题分析,笔者从英汉两种语言对比的角度概括了三大特点。 1.1英语重形合句子结构严谨 英语句子以形连表意连,重句法结构,主语十分重要,理解时要抓住主谓关系,否则很难理解。尤其复合句,一定要看清主句和各分句的主谓结构。 1.2英语多被动结构 英语中被动句比汉语多,尤其是科技英语。从最近十几年的考研英译汉真题中笔者发现被动结构的出现频率相当高,2002年的 5个句子中全都出现了被动结构。 1.3英语多从句,句子长且结构复杂 英语通过一整套系统语法结构组合成句子,还可通过增加限制成分、修饰语以及补充成分使句子变长、变复杂。考研英语翻译题几乎都是长而复杂的句子。 2.考生在解题中的问题 笔者通过问卷调查分析,发现考生在解题时主要有以下几个方面的问题:英语基本功不扎实,理解不透;缺乏基本翻译常识,不 懂翻译技巧;中文表达能力不强,意思表达不清。在英译汉过程中,理解与表达互相联系,理解是表达的前提,表达是理解的结果。因此可将存在的问题归为理解、表达。 2.1理解问题 翻译的第一阶段是理解,理解是最关键、基本的环节。考研英语试题句子结构都比较复杂,且很多修饰短语穿插于主要结构之间,有时还有省略,代词指代关系模糊,加之文章所谈主题、语境、语篇等因素,都会对理解造成巨大障碍。但在以上所提的诸多因素中,句子结构应是主要矛盾。 2.2表达问题 表达是指在正确理解原文的基础上,准确而通顺地再现原文思想内容。表达过程实际上是语言加工过程。理解是表达的基础,表达是理解的结果。但是对原文的正确理解并不意味着一定会有正确的表达。译文既要符合原文所表达的思想,又要求符合汉语的行文规范,还要重视语境,注意逻辑,避免文理不通,搭配不当,使译文生涩难懂。 3.考研英语翻译技巧 下面引用历年真题,介绍一些基本的翻译技巧,使考生能看得懂,学得会,用得上。 3.1定语从句的翻译 考研英语翻译解析 浙江师范大学外国语学院 赖慧云 考 笤考试专栏笤 60

Unit 1 罗素悖论的提出是基于这样的一个事例:设想有这 样一群理发师,他们只给不给自己理发的人理发。假设 其中一个理发师符合上述的条件,不给自己理发;然而 按照要求,他必须要给自己理发。但是在这个集合中没 有人会给自己理发。(如果这样的话,这个理发师必定是 给别人理发还要给自己理发) 1901 年,伯特兰·罗素悖论的发现打击了他其中的一 个数学家同事。在 19 世纪后期,弗雷格尝试发展一个基 本原理以便数学上能使用符号逻辑。他确立了形式表达 式(如:x =2)和数学特性(如偶数)之间的联系。按照 弗雷格理论的发展,我们能自由的用一个特性去定义更 多更深远的特性。 1903 年,发表在《数学原理》上的罗素悖论从根本上 揭示了弗雷格这种集合系统的局限性。就现在而言,这 种类型的集合系统能很好的用俗称集的结构式来描述。 例如,我们可以用 x 代表整数,通过 n 来表示并且 n 大于3 小于 7,来表示 4,5,6 这样一个集合。这种集合的书写形势就是:x={n:n 是整数,3

不再 a 中}导致一个矛盾,就像对一群理发师的描述一样。 x 它本身是在x 的集合中吗?否定的答案导致了矛盾的出 现。 当罗素发现了悖论,弗雷格立即就发现悖论对他的 理论有致命的打击。尽管这样,他还不能解决这个问题, 并且上世纪有很多的尝试,去解决这个问题(但没有成 功)。 罗素自己对这个悖论的回答促进了类型理论的形 成。他解释说,悖论的问题在于我们混淆了数集和数集 的集合。所以,罗素介绍了对象的分级系统:数、数集、 数集的集合等等。这个系统为形式化数学的形成奠定了 基础,至今它还应用于哲学研究和计算机科学分支。 策梅洛对于罗素悖论的解决方法用新的公理:对于 任意公式 A (x)和任意集合 b,都会有一个集合满足 y={x:x 既在 b 中又满足 A (x)}取代了以前的公理:对于任意公式 A (x),都会有一个集合满足 y={x:x 满足 A (x)}。究竟是什么样的努力使数学逻辑基础得以发展?现 在数学家认识到这个领域可以用所谓的策梅洛-弗兰克 尔集合论来定义。形式化的语言包含符号,例如 e 表示“其中一个数”,=表示等于,□代表集合中没有任何元素。 那么可以写下一个公式 B (x):如果如果 y e x,而 y 是空4 集。在集的结构式中我们可以这样书写:y={x:x=□},或 者更简单 y={□}。罗素悖论就成这样:y={x:x 不在 x 中},
