You are going to hear a short passage, note down what you hear, payattention to the idioms and try to interpret them accurately.Idioms Interpreting（成语口译）Both Chinese and English are particularly rich in idioms. Idioms are so vivid and forcible in conveying a particular meaning that they are frequently used by speakers of both languages. Chinese and English idioms came into being under different historical, geographical, cultural and social backgrounds, so they contain different stories reflecting different environment, life, history, culture and values of the native speakers. It is surely no easy thing to understand idioms, let alone interpret them. One can hardly expect to provide a satisfactory rendition of an idiom unless he is guided by the correct method and manages to get an accurate understanding of its implied meaning through its surface structure according to the context.The Definition of IdiomAn idiom can be defined as a group of words with a meaning different from the combined meanings of its component words. One can hardly guess its meaning from the individual words that form it, for these words have already lost their original meaning. Idioms can be understood both in a broad sense and in a narrow one. In the narrow sense, they simply refer to the set phrases or clauses used in a language. Broadly speaking, they comprise all the idiomatic and special expressions in that language.Methods of Idioms InterpretingThere are quite a number of methods in interpreting idioms, but the following four are the most common ones:1. Idiom for IdiomAs we mentioned previously, both Chinese and English are rich in idioms. Some idioms in one language contain images, descriptions and meanings identical to idioms in the other language. There are also idioms that express the same meanings though they don’t have identical metaphors or images. In both cases, we might borrow them directly from the target language so as to retain their vividness and achieve equivalence in effect, such as “滴水石穿”for “constant dripping wear the stone”; “Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings” for “饥不择食” and so on.2. Literal TranslationLiteral translation means word-for-word rendition, bringing the whole image into the target language. This approach is used when the speakers of the target language can easily understand the image contained in an idiom. For example,“易如反掌”can be literally interpreted into “as easy as turning over one’s palm”, and “To head a wolf into a house” into “引狼入室”.3. Free TranslationSome idioms which exhibit strong national or cultural characteristics can neither be handled by borrowing idioms from the target language nor translated literally because it would cause misunderstanding or could not be easily accepted by native speakers of the other language. In this case, it is necessary to resort to paraphrasing according to the context. For example, “王小二过年，一年不如一年” is interpreted into “to be going from bad to worse”, and “Every dog has its day” is interpreted into “人人皆有得意之日”.4. Literal Translation combined with paraphrasingThis approach is used when certain idioms, particularly those with historical stories or names involved, can hardly be understood and accepted by the listener, and the interpreter cannot find their proper equivalents in the target language. If literal translation were used, they would lose their original vividness. For example, “杀鸡给猴看”is interpreted into “to kill the chicken to frighten the monkey—to punish somebody as a warning to others”.II. Phrase Interpreting (短语口译)Work on the following words and phrases.
