在日常學(xué)習(xí)、工作或生活中,大家總少不了接觸作文或者范文吧,通過(guò)文章可以把我們那些零零散散的思想,聚集在一塊。相信許多人會(huì)覺(jué)得范文很難寫?這里我整理了一些優(yōu)秀的范文,希望對(duì)大家有所幫助,下面我們就來(lái)了解一下吧。

復(fù)試英譯漢技巧篇一

一、詞義的選擇和引伸技巧

英漢兩種語(yǔ)言都有一詞多類和一詞多義的現(xiàn)象。一詞多類就是指一個(gè)詞往往屬于幾個(gè)詞類,具有幾個(gè)不同的意義;一詞多義就是同一個(gè)詞在同一詞類中又往往有幾個(gè)不同的詞義。在英譯漢的過(guò)程中,我們?cè)谂逶浣Y(jié)構(gòu)后,就要善于運(yùn)用選擇和確定原句中關(guān)鍵詞詞義的技巧,以使所譯語(yǔ)句自然流暢,完全符合漢語(yǔ)習(xí)慣的說(shuō)法;選擇確定詞義通??梢詮膬煞矫嬷郑?/p>

1、根據(jù)詞在句中的詞類來(lái)選擇和確定詞義

they are as like as two peas.他們相似極了。(形容詞)

he likes mathematics more than physics.他喜歡數(shù)學(xué)甚于喜歡物理。(動(dòng)詞)wheat, oat, and the like are cereals.小麥、燕麥等等皆系谷類。(名詞)

2、根據(jù)上下文聯(lián)系以及詞在句中的搭配關(guān)系來(lái)選擇和確定詞義。he is the last man to come.他是最后來(lái)的。

he is the last person for such a job.他最不配干這個(gè)工作。

he should be the last man to blame.怎么也不該怪他。

this is the last place where i expected to meet you.我怎么也沒(méi)料到會(huì)在這個(gè)地方見(jiàn)到你。

詞義引伸是我們英譯漢時(shí)常用的技巧之一。翻譯時(shí),有時(shí)會(huì)遇到某些詞在英語(yǔ)辭典上找不到適當(dāng)?shù)脑~義,如果任意硬套或逐詞死譯,就會(huì)使譯文生硬晦澀,不能確切表達(dá)原意,甚至?xí)斐烧`解。這時(shí)就應(yīng)根據(jù)上下文和邏輯關(guān)系,從該詞的根本含義出發(fā),進(jìn)一步加以引伸,引伸時(shí),往往可以從三個(gè)方面來(lái)加以考慮。

1、詞義轉(zhuǎn)譯。當(dāng)我們遇到一些無(wú)法直譯或不宜直譯的詞或詞組時(shí),應(yīng)根據(jù)上下文和邏輯關(guān)系,引伸轉(zhuǎn)譯。

the energy of the sun comes to the earth mainly as light and heat.太陽(yáng)能主要以光和熱的形式傳到地球。

2、詞義具體化。根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣,把原文中某些詞義較籠統(tǒng)的詞引伸為詞義較具體的詞。

the last stage went higher and took the apollo into orbit round the earth.最后一級(jí)火箭升得更高,把“阿波羅號(hào)”送進(jìn)圍繞地球運(yùn)行的軌道。

3、詞義抽象化。根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣,把原文中某些詞義較具體的詞引伸為詞義較抽象的詞,或把詞義較形象的詞引伸為詞義較一般的詞。

every life has its roses and thorns.每個(gè)人的生活都有甜有苦。

二、詞類轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧

在英譯漢過(guò)程中,有些句子可以逐詞對(duì)譯,有些句子則由于英漢兩種語(yǔ)言的表達(dá)方式不同,就不能逐詞對(duì)譯,只能將詞類進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)譯之后,方可使譯文顯得通順、自然;對(duì)詞類轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧的運(yùn)用須從四個(gè)方面加以注意。

1、轉(zhuǎn)譯成動(dòng)詞。英語(yǔ)中的某些名詞、介詞、副詞,翻譯時(shí)可轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語(yǔ)中的動(dòng)詞。the lack of any special excretory system is explained in a similar way.植物沒(méi)有專門的排泄系統(tǒng),可用同樣的方式加以說(shuō)明。(名詞轉(zhuǎn)譯)as he ran out ,he forgot to have his shoes on.他跑出去時(shí),忘記了穿鞋子。

2、轉(zhuǎn)譯成名詞。英語(yǔ)中的某些動(dòng)詞、形容詞,翻譯時(shí)可轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語(yǔ)中的名詞。the earth on which we live is shaped a ball.我們居住的地球,形狀象一個(gè)大球。(動(dòng)詞轉(zhuǎn)譯)the doctor did his best to cure the sick and the wounded.醫(yī)生盡了最大的努力來(lái)治療病號(hào)和傷員。(形容詞轉(zhuǎn)換)

3、轉(zhuǎn)譯成形容詞。英語(yǔ)中有些作表語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)的抽象名詞,以及某些形容詞派生的名詞,往往可轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語(yǔ)中的形容詞。另外,當(dāng)英語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語(yǔ)名詞時(shí),原來(lái)修飾該動(dòng)詞的副詞也往往隨之轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語(yǔ)中的形容詞。

it is no use employing radar to detect objects in water.使用雷達(dá)探測(cè)水下目標(biāo)是沒(méi)有用的。(作表語(yǔ)的名詞轉(zhuǎn)譯)

the sun affects tremendously both the mind and body of a man.太陽(yáng)對(duì)人的身體和精神都有極大的影響。(副詞轉(zhuǎn)譯)

4、轉(zhuǎn)譯成副詞。英語(yǔ)中的某些名詞、形容詞,翻譯時(shí)可轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語(yǔ)中的副詞。

when he catches a glimpse of a potential antagonist, his instinct is to win him over with charm and humor.只要一發(fā)現(xiàn)有 可能反對(duì)他的人,他就本能地要用他的魅力和風(fēng)趣將這些人爭(zhēng)取過(guò)來(lái)。(名詞轉(zhuǎn)譯)

三、漢譯的增詞技巧

英譯漢時(shí),按意義上、修辭上或句法上的需要加一些詞,使譯文更加忠實(shí)通順地表達(dá)原文的思想內(nèi)容;但是,增加的并不是無(wú)中生有,而是要增加原文中雖無(wú)其詞卻有其意的一些詞,這是英譯漢中常用的 的技巧之一。增詞技巧一般分作兩種情況。

1、根據(jù)意義上或修辭上的需要,可增加下列七類詞。flowers bloom all over the yard.朵朵鮮花滿院盛開。(增加表示名詞復(fù)數(shù)的詞)

after the banquets ,the concerts and the table tennis exhibitor ,he went home tiredly.在參加宴會(huì)、出席音樂(lè)會(huì)、觀看乒乓球表演之后,他疲倦地回到了家里。(增加動(dòng)詞)he sank down with his face in his hands.他兩手蒙著臉,一屁股坐了下去。(增加副詞)i had known two great social systems.那是以前,他就經(jīng)歷過(guò)兩大社會(huì)制度。(增加表達(dá)時(shí)態(tài)的詞)

as for me ,i didn’t agree from the very beginning.我呢,從一開始就不贊成。(增加語(yǔ)氣助詞)the article summed up the new achievements made in electronic computers ,artificial satellites and rockets.本文總結(jié)了電子計(jì)算機(jī)、人造衛(wèi)星和火箭這三方面的新成就。(增加概括詞)

2、根據(jù)句法上的需要增補(bǔ)一此詞匯。

reading makes a full man;conference a ready man;writing an exact man.讀書使人充實(shí),討論使人機(jī)智,寫作使人準(zhǔn)確.(增補(bǔ)原文句子中所省略的動(dòng)詞)all bodies on the earth are known to possess weight.大家都知道地球上的一切物質(zhì)都肯有重量。(增補(bǔ)被動(dòng)句中泛指性的詞)

四、正反、反正漢譯技巧

正反、反正漢譯技巧是指翻譯時(shí)突破原文的形式,采用變換語(yǔ)氣的辦法處理詞句,把肯定的譯成否定的,把否定的譯成肯定的。運(yùn)用這種技巧可以使譯文更加合乎漢語(yǔ)規(guī)范或修辭要求,且不失原意。這種技巧可分五個(gè)方面加以陳述。

1、肯定譯否定

the above facts insist on the following conclusions.上述事實(shí)使人們不能不得出以下結(jié)論。

2、否定譯肯定

she won’t go away until you promise to help her.她要等你答應(yīng)幫助以后才肯走。

3、雙否定譯肯定

there can be no sunshine without shadow 有陽(yáng)光就有陰影。

但是,如果翻譯時(shí)保留英語(yǔ)原來(lái)的“否定之否定”的形式并不影響中文的流暢時(shí),則應(yīng)保留的目的還可突出原文中婉轉(zhuǎn)的語(yǔ)氣。如he is not unequal to the duty.他并非不稱職。

4、正反移位

i don’t think he will come.我認(rèn)為他不會(huì)來(lái)了。

5、譯為部分否定

not all minerals come from mines.并非所有礦物都來(lái)自礦山。

both of the substances do not dissolve in water.不是兩種物質(zhì)都溶于水。

五、漢譯的重復(fù)技巧

重復(fù)技巧是英譯漢中的一種必不可少的翻譯技巧。由于英譯漢時(shí)往往需要重復(fù)原文中的某些詞才能使譯文表達(dá)明確具體;又由于英漢語(yǔ)言結(jié)構(gòu)不同,重復(fù)的手段和作用也往往不盡相同,大致可分為三種。

1、為了明確

i had experienced oxygen and /or engine trouble.我曾碰到過(guò),不是氧氣設(shè)備了故障,就是引擎出故障,或兩者都出故障(重復(fù)名詞)under ordinary conditions of pressure ,water becomes ice at c and steam at 100c.在常壓下,水在攝氏零度時(shí)變成冰,在攝氏一百度時(shí)變成蒸汽。(重復(fù)動(dòng)詞)a locality has its own over-all interest ,a nation has another and the earth get another.一個(gè)地方有一個(gè)地方的全局,一個(gè)國(guó)家有一個(gè)國(guó)家的全局,一個(gè)地球有一個(gè)地球的全局(重復(fù)謂語(yǔ)部分)

2、為了強(qiáng)調(diào)

he wandered along the street ,thinking and thinking brooding and brooding.他在街頭游來(lái)蕩去,想了又想,盤算了又盤算。

3、為了生動(dòng)

while stars and nebulae look like specks or small patches of are really enormous bodies.星星和星云看起來(lái)只是斑點(diǎn)點(diǎn),或者是小片的光,但它們確實(shí)是巨大的天體。

六、倒譯技巧

英漢詞句組成和排列的順序千差萬(wàn)別,因此英譯漢時(shí)作些調(diào)整,顛倒一下順序,則是一種極為常見(jiàn)的翻譯技巧,這種翻譯技巧共分五種類型。

1、復(fù)合句倒譯技巧。復(fù)合句倒譯可分為部分倒譯和完全倒譯兩種技巧。

this university 6 newly _established faculties ,onic computer ,high energy physics ,laser ,geo-physics ,remote sensing, and genetic engineering.這所大學(xué)現(xiàn)在有電子計(jì)算機(jī)、高能物理、激光、地球、物理、遙感技術(shù)、遺傳工程等六個(gè)新建的專業(yè)。(部分倒譯)

many laws of nature actually exist in nature though they have not yet been discovered.雖然許多自然規(guī)律還沒(méi)被發(fā)現(xiàn),但是它們確實(shí)在自然界中存在。(完全倒譯)

2、被動(dòng)句倒譯的技巧。被動(dòng)句倒譯時(shí),有時(shí)可將被動(dòng)句倒譯成主動(dòng)句,有時(shí)可將狀語(yǔ)倒譯成主語(yǔ)。

the structure of an atom can be accurately described though we cannot see it.雖然我們看不見(jiàn)原子結(jié)構(gòu),但能準(zhǔn)確地描述它。(被動(dòng)句倒譯成主動(dòng)句)table tennis is played all over china.中國(guó)到處都打乒乓球。(狀語(yǔ)倒譯成主語(yǔ))

3、以否定型副詞或條件副詞開頭的句子的部分倒譯技巧。能引起這種倒譯的副詞有no ,never ,hardly ,no no way ,not until ,not even ,only 等。

never before have i read such an interesting book.我從來(lái)沒(méi)有讀過(guò)這樣有趣的書。

4、帶有介詞短語(yǔ)句子的部分倒譯技巧

these date will be of some value in our research work.這些資料對(duì)于我們的研究工作有些價(jià)值。

5、習(xí)語(yǔ)的倒譯技巧。習(xí)語(yǔ)的倒譯可分為按照漢語(yǔ)的固定順序倒譯和從輕重上加以區(qū)分進(jìn)行倒譯以及逆時(shí)間順序進(jìn)行倒譯三種技巧。

for its last 600 miles the yellow river flows eastwards through the flat , fertile ,north china plain ,which is densely populated.黃河最后的六百英里,向東流過(guò)平坦肥沃、人口密集的華北平原。(按照漢語(yǔ)的固定順序倒譯)

heal the wounded ,rescue the dying ,practice revolutionary humanitarianism.救死扶傷,實(shí)行革命的人道主義。(以輕重上區(qū)分進(jìn)行倒譯)

we have to be quick of eye and deft of hand.我們必須眼疾手快。(逆時(shí)間順序倒譯)

七、句子成份的轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧

英漢兩種語(yǔ)言,由于表達(dá)方式不盡相同,在具體英譯漢時(shí),有時(shí)往往需要轉(zhuǎn)換一下句子成分,才能使譯達(dá)到邏輯正確、通順流暢、重點(diǎn)突出等目的。句子成分轉(zhuǎn)譯作為翻譯的一種技巧,其內(nèi)容和形式都比較豐富,運(yùn)用范圍也相當(dāng)廣泛,共包括五個(gè)方面的內(nèi)容。

1、主語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧,可以將句子的主語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語(yǔ)中的定語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)等。the wings are responsible for keeping the sir plane in the air.機(jī)翼的用途是使飛機(jī)在空中保持不墜。(轉(zhuǎn)譯成定語(yǔ))

to get all the stages off the ground ,a first big push is needed.為了使火箭各級(jí)全部離開地面,需要有一個(gè)巨大的第一次推力。(轉(zhuǎn)譯成賓語(yǔ))machinery has made the products of manufactories very much cheaper than formerly.因?yàn)闄C(jī)械的緣故,工廠里出的產(chǎn)品比起以前來(lái),價(jià)格便宜多了。(轉(zhuǎn)譯成狀語(yǔ))

2、謂語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧。可以將謂語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯成定語(yǔ)。

radar works in very much the same way as the flashlight.雷達(dá)的工作原理和手電筒極為相同。

3、賓語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧。可以將賓語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯成主語(yǔ)。

automatic lathes perform basically similar functions but apper in a varitety of forms.各種自動(dòng)車床的作用基本相同,但形式不同

4、定語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧。定語(yǔ)可以轉(zhuǎn)譯成謂語(yǔ)和狀語(yǔ)。neutron has a mass slightly larger than that of proton.中子的質(zhì)量略大于質(zhì)子的質(zhì)量。(轉(zhuǎn)譯成謂語(yǔ))

scientists in that county are now supplied with necessary books ,epuipment and assistant ,that will ensure success in their scientific research.現(xiàn)在已給該縣科學(xué)家提供了必要的圖書、儀器和助手,以保證科研工作的成功。(轉(zhuǎn)譯成狀語(yǔ))

5、狀語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯技巧。狀語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)譯一般指的是狀語(yǔ)從句的轉(zhuǎn)譯。它可分作把時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句轉(zhuǎn)譯成條件狀語(yǔ)從句,把地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)從轉(zhuǎn)譯成條件狀語(yǔ)從句和把原因狀語(yǔ)從句轉(zhuǎn)譯成困果偏正復(fù)句中的主語(yǔ)等三種形式。

these three colors ,red ,green ,and violet ,when combined ,produced white.紅色、綠色和紫色這三種顏色如果合在一起就變成白色。(時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句轉(zhuǎn)譯成條件狀語(yǔ)從句)

where there is nothing in the path of beam of light ,nothing is seen.如果光束通道上沒(méi)有東西,就什么也看不到。(地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)從句轉(zhuǎn)譯成條件狀語(yǔ)從句)because he was convinced of the accuracy of this fact, he stuck to his opinion.他深信這件事正確可靠,因此堅(jiān)持已見(jiàn)。(原因狀語(yǔ)從句轉(zhuǎn)譯成因果偏正復(fù)合句中的主句)

八、分句、合句漢譯技巧

英譯漢時(shí),由于兩種語(yǔ)言的句子結(jié)構(gòu)大不相同而往往需要改變一下句子結(jié)構(gòu)以適應(yīng)于漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣。采用分句、合句進(jìn)行翻譯的作法正是為了達(dá)到這種目的而運(yùn)用的一種重要技巧。所謂分句,就是指把原文的一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句譯成兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的句子;所謂合名,就是指把原文的兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的簡(jiǎn)單句或一個(gè)復(fù)合句譯成一個(gè)單句。運(yùn)用這種分句、合句的漢譯技巧可以使譯文層次分明,更合乎于漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣。分句流譯的技巧共分五種類型,合句漢譯的技巧共分三種類型。先談?wù)劮志錆h譯技巧的五種類型。

1、主語(yǔ)分句漢譯技巧。

a man spending twelve days on the moon would find ,on returning to the earth ,that a year had passed by already.一個(gè)人如果在月亮上度過(guò)了十二天,回到地球以后就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一年已經(jīng)過(guò)去了。

2、謂語(yǔ)分句漢譯技巧。

it goes without saying that oxygen is the most active element in the atmosphere.不言而喻,氧氣是大氣中最活潑的元素。

3、定語(yǔ)分句漢譯技巧

he managed to raise a crop of 200 miracle tomatoes that weighed up to two pounds each.他居然種出了二百個(gè)奇跡般的西紅柿,每個(gè)重達(dá)兩磅。

4、狀語(yǔ)分句漢譯技巧 sunrays filtered in wherever they could ,driving out darkness and choking the shadows.陽(yáng)光射入了它所能透過(guò)的地方,趕走了黑暗,驅(qū)散了幽影。

5、同位語(yǔ)分句漢譯技巧。

mary normally a timid girl ,argued heated with them about it.瑪麗平常是個(gè)靦腆的姑娘,現(xiàn)在也熱烈地和他們辯論起來(lái)。

一、英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句的分析

一般來(lái)說(shuō), 造成長(zhǎng)句的原因有三方面:(1)修飾語(yǔ)過(guò)多;(2)并列成分多;(3)語(yǔ)言結(jié)構(gòu)層次多。在分析長(zhǎng)句時(shí)可以采用下面的方法:

(1)找出全句的主語(yǔ)、謂語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ), 從整體上把握句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。

(2)找出句中所有的謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)、非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞、介詞短語(yǔ)和從句的引導(dǎo)詞。

(3)分析從句和短語(yǔ)的功能, 例如, 是否為主語(yǔ)從句, 賓語(yǔ)從句, 表語(yǔ)從句等,若是狀語(yǔ), 它是表示時(shí)間、原因、結(jié)果、還是表示條件等等)。

(4)分析詞、短語(yǔ)和從句之間的相互關(guān)系, 例如, 定語(yǔ)從句所修飾的先行詞是哪一個(gè)等。

(5)注意插入語(yǔ)等其他成分。

(6)注意分析句子中是否有固定詞組或固定搭配。

下面我們結(jié)合一些實(shí)例來(lái)進(jìn)行分析:

orists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.分析:(1)該句的主語(yǔ)為behaviorists, 謂語(yǔ)為suggest, 賓語(yǔ)為一個(gè)從句, 因此整個(gè)句子為behaviorist suggest that-clause 結(jié)構(gòu)。

(2)該句共有五個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu), 它們的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞分別為suggest, is raised, are, develop, experience等, 這五個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)之間的關(guān)系為: behaviorist suggest that-clause 結(jié)構(gòu)為主句;who is raised in an environment為定語(yǔ)從句, 所修飾的先行詞為child;where there are many stimuli為定語(yǔ)從句, 所修飾的先行詞為environment;which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses為定語(yǔ)從句, 所修飾的先行詞為stimuli;在suggest的賓語(yǔ)從句中, 主語(yǔ)為child, 謂語(yǔ)為experience, 賓語(yǔ)為greater intellectual development.在作了如上的分析之后, 我們就會(huì)對(duì)該句具有了一個(gè)較為透徹的理解, 然后根據(jù)我們上面所講述的各種翻譯方法, 就可以把該句翻譯成漢語(yǔ)為: 行為主義者認(rèn)為, 如果兒童的成長(zhǎng)環(huán)境里有許多刺激因素, 這些因素又有利于其適當(dāng)反應(yīng)能力的發(fā)展, 那么, 兒童的智力就會(huì)發(fā)展到較高的水平。

a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.(85年考題)

分析:(1)該句的骨干結(jié)構(gòu)為it is more … to do sth than to do sth else.是一個(gè)比較結(jié)構(gòu), 而且是在兩個(gè)不定式之間進(jìn)行比較。

(2)該句中共有三個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu), 它們之間的關(guān)系為: it is more convenient as well as cheaper to … 為主體結(jié)構(gòu), 但it是形式主語(yǔ), 真正的主語(yǔ)為第二個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu): to sit comfortably at home, 并與第三個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)to go out in search of amusement elsewhere作比較。

(3)句首的for a family of four作狀語(yǔ), 表示條件。另外, 還有兩個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)作插入語(yǔ): for example, with almost unlimited entertainment available,其中第二個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)作伴隨狀語(yǔ), 修飾to sit comfortably at home.綜合上述翻譯方法,這個(gè)句子我們可以翻譯為:

譬如, 對(duì)于一個(gè)四口之家來(lái)說(shuō), 舒舒服服地在家中看電視, 就能看到幾乎數(shù)不清的娛樂(lè)節(jié)目, 這比到外面別的地方去消遣又便宜又方便。

二、長(zhǎng)句的翻譯

英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣于用長(zhǎng)的句子表達(dá)比較復(fù)雜的概念, 而漢語(yǔ)則不同,常常使用若干短句, 作層次分明的敘述。因此, 在進(jìn)行英譯漢時(shí), 要特別注意英語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)之間的差異, 將英語(yǔ)的長(zhǎng)句分解, 翻譯成漢語(yǔ)的短句。在英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句的翻譯過(guò)程中, 我們一般采取下列的方法。

(1)順序法。當(dāng)英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句的內(nèi)容的敘述層次與漢語(yǔ)基本一致時(shí), 可以按照英語(yǔ)原文的順序翻譯成漢語(yǔ)。例如:

when we turn off the beside lamp and are fast asleep, electricity is working for us, driving our refrigerators, heating our water, or keeping our rooms air-conditioned.(84年考題)

分析: 該句子由一個(gè)主句, 三個(gè)作伴隨狀語(yǔ)的現(xiàn)在分詞以及位于句首的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句組成, 共有五層意思: a.既使在我們關(guān)掉了床頭燈深深地進(jìn)入夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng)時(shí);b.電仍在為我們工作;c.幫我們開動(dòng)電冰箱;d.加熱水;e.或是室內(nèi)空調(diào)機(jī)繼續(xù)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。上述五層意思的邏輯關(guān)系以及表達(dá)的順序與漢語(yǔ)完全一致, 因此, 我們可以通過(guò)順序法, 把該句翻譯成:

即使在我們關(guān)掉了床頭燈深深地進(jìn)入夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng)時(shí), 電仍在為我們工作: 幫我們開動(dòng)電冰箱, 把水加熱, 或使室內(nèi)空調(diào)機(jī)繼續(xù)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。

now it is realized that supplies of some of them are limited, and it is even possible to give a reasonable estimate of their “expectation of life”, the time it will take to exhaust all known sources and reserves of these materials.(84年考題)

分析: 該句的骨干結(jié)構(gòu)為“it is realized that…”, it為形式主語(yǔ), that引導(dǎo)著主語(yǔ)從句以及并列的it is even possible to …結(jié)構(gòu), 其中, 不定式作主語(yǔ), the time …是“expectation of life”的同位語(yǔ), 進(jìn)一步解釋其含義, 而time后面的句子是它的定語(yǔ)從句。五個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu), 表達(dá)了四個(gè)層次的意義: a.可是現(xiàn)在人們意識(shí)到;b.其中有些礦物質(zhì)的蘊(yùn)藏量是有限的;c.人們甚至還可以比較合理的估計(jì)出這些礦物質(zhì)“可望存在多少年”;d.將這些已知礦源和儲(chǔ)量將消耗殆盡的時(shí)間。根據(jù)同位語(yǔ)從句的翻譯方法, 把第四層意義的表達(dá)作適當(dāng)?shù)恼{(diào)整, 整個(gè)句子就翻譯為:

可是現(xiàn)在人們意識(shí)到, 其中有些礦物質(zhì)的蘊(yùn)藏量是有限的, 人們甚至還可以比較合理的估計(jì)出這些礦物質(zhì)“可望存在多少年”, 也就是說(shuō), 經(jīng)過(guò)若干年后, 這些礦物的全部已知礦源和儲(chǔ)量將消耗殆盡。

下面我們?cè)倭信e幾個(gè)實(shí)例:

to the twentieth century, women in novels were stereotypes of lacking any features that made them unique inspaniduals and were also subject to numerous restrictions imposed by the male-dominated culture.在20世紀(jì)以前, 小說(shuō)中的婦女像都是一個(gè)模式。她們沒(méi)有任何特點(diǎn), 因而無(wú)法成為具有個(gè)性的人;他們還要屈從于由男性主宰的文化傳統(tǒng)強(qiáng)加給他們的種種束縛。

method of using “controls” can be applied to a variety of situations, and can be used to find the answer to questions as widely different as “must moisture be present if iron is to rust?” and “which variety of beans gives the greatest yield in one season?”

這種使用參照物的方法可以應(yīng)用于許多種情況, 也能用來(lái)找到很不相同的各種問(wèn)題的答案, 從“鐵生銹, 是否必須有一定的濕度才行?”到“哪種豆類一季的產(chǎn)量最高?”

begins as a childlike interest in the grand spectacle and exciting event;it grows as a mature interest in the variety and complexity of the drama, the splendid achievements and terrible failures;it ends as deep sense of the mystery of man's life of all the dead, great and obscure, who once walked the earth, and of wonderful and awful possibilities of being a human being.我們對(duì)歷史的愛(ài)好起源于我們最初僅對(duì)一些歷史上的宏偉場(chǎng)面和激動(dòng)人心的事件感到孩童般的興趣;其后, 這種愛(ài)好變得成熟起來(lái), 我們開始對(duì)歷史這出“戲劇”的多樣性和復(fù)雜性, 對(duì)歷史上的輝煌成就和悲壯失敗也感興趣;對(duì)歷史的愛(ài)好, 最終以我們對(duì)人類生命的一種深沉的神秘感而告結(jié)束。對(duì)死去的, 無(wú)論是偉大與平凡, 所有在這個(gè)地球上走過(guò)而已逝的人,都有能取得偉大奇跡或制造可怕事件的潛力。

parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment , they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.如果做父母的對(duì)這種青少年的反應(yīng)有所準(zhǔn)備, 而且認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)顯示出孩子正在成長(zhǎng), 正在發(fā)展珍貴的觀察力和獨(dú)立的判斷力的標(biāo)志, 他們就不會(huì)感到如此傷心, 所以也就不會(huì)因?qū)Υ擞袘嵑藓头磳?duì)的情緒而把孩子推到對(duì)立面去。

(2)逆序法。英語(yǔ)有些長(zhǎng)句的表達(dá)次序與漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)習(xí)慣不同, 甚至完全相反, 這時(shí)必須從原文后面開始翻譯。例如:

um remained unknown until the nineteenth century, because nowhere in nature is it found free, owing to its always being combined with other elements, most commonly with oxygen, for which it has a strong affinity.分析: 這個(gè)句子由一個(gè)主句, 兩個(gè)原因狀語(yǔ)和一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句, “鋁直到19世紀(jì)才被人發(fā)現(xiàn)”是主句, 也是全句的中心內(nèi)容, 全句共有四個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu), 共有五層意思: a.鋁直到19世紀(jì)才被人發(fā)現(xiàn);b.由于在自然界找不到游離狀態(tài)的鋁;c.由于它總是跟其他元素結(jié)合在一起;d.最普遍的是跟氧結(jié)合;e.鋁跟氧有很強(qiáng)的親和力。按照漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣通常因在前, 果在后, 這樣, 我們可以逆著原文的順序把該句翻譯成:

鋁總是跟其他元素結(jié)合在一起, 最普遍的是跟氧結(jié)合;因?yàn)殇X跟氧有很強(qiáng)的親和力, 由于這個(gè)原因, 在自然界找不到游離狀態(tài)的鋁。所以, 鋁直到19世紀(jì)才被人發(fā)現(xiàn)。

therefore becomes more and more important that, if students are not to waste their opportunities, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice.分析: 該句由一個(gè)主句, 一個(gè)條件狀語(yǔ)從句和一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句組成, “……變得越來(lái)越重要”是主句, 也是全句的中心內(nèi)容, 全句共有三個(gè)謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu), 包含三層含義: a.……變的越來(lái)越重要;b.如果要使學(xué)生充分利用他們的機(jī)會(huì);c.得為他們提供大量更為詳盡的信息, 作更多的指導(dǎo)。為了使譯文符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣, 我們也采用逆序法, 翻譯成:

因此, 如果要使學(xué)生充分利用他們(上大學(xué))的機(jī)會(huì), 就得為他們提供大量關(guān)于課程的更為詳盡的信息, 作更多的指導(dǎo)。這個(gè)問(wèn)題顯得越來(lái)越重要了。

下面我們?cè)倥e幾個(gè)實(shí)例:

is probably easier for teachers than for students to appreciate the reasons why learning english seems to become increasingly difficult once the basic structures and patterns of the language have been understood.一旦了解英語(yǔ)的基本結(jié)構(gòu)和句型, 再往下學(xué)似乎就越來(lái)越難了, 這其中的原因, 也許教師比學(xué)生更容易理解。(the poor)are the first to experience technological progress as a curse which destroys the old muscle-power jobs that previous generations used as a means to fight their way out of poverty.對(duì)于以往幾代人來(lái)說(shuō), 舊式的體力勞動(dòng)是一種用以擺脫貧困的手段, 而技術(shù)的進(jìn)步則摧毀了窮人賴以為生的體力勞動(dòng), 因此首先體驗(yàn)到技術(shù)進(jìn)步之害的是窮人。

例5.a great number of graduate students were driven into the intellectual slum when in the united states the intellectual poor became the classic poor, the poor under the rather romantic guise of the beat generation, a real phenomenon in the late fifties.50年代后期的美國(guó)出現(xiàn)了一個(gè)任何人都不可能視而不見(jiàn)的現(xiàn)象, 窮知識(shí)分子以“跨掉的一代”這種頗為浪漫的姿態(tài)出現(xiàn)而成為美國(guó)典型的窮人, 正是這個(gè)時(shí)候大批大學(xué)生被趕進(jìn)了知識(shí)分子的貧民窟。

is a human nature in the west that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers.許多人寧愿犧牲比較高的工資以換取成為白領(lǐng)工人的社會(huì)地位, 這在西方倒是人之常情。

s would make it impossible for us to live in the world;they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals.假如沒(méi)有那些以昆蟲為食的動(dòng)物保護(hù)我們, 昆蟲將吞噬我們所有的莊稼, 害死我們的牛羊家畜, 使我們不能生存于世。

(3)分句法。有時(shí)英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句中主語(yǔ)或主句與修飾詞的關(guān)系并不十分密切, 翻譯時(shí)可以按照漢語(yǔ)多用短句的習(xí)慣, 把長(zhǎng)句的從句或短語(yǔ)化成句子, 分開來(lái)敘述,為了使語(yǔ)意連貫, 有時(shí)需要適當(dāng)增加詞語(yǔ)。例如:

number of the young people in the united states who can't read is incredible about one in four.上句在英語(yǔ)中是一個(gè)相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的句子, 但是如果我們按照原文的句子結(jié)構(gòu)死譯, 就可能被翻譯成:

沒(méi)有閱讀能力的美國(guó)青年人的數(shù)目令人難以相信約為1/4。

這樣, 就使得譯文極為不通順, 不符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣, 因此, 我們應(yīng)該把它譯為:

大約有1/4的美國(guó)青年人沒(méi)有閱讀能力, 這簡(jiǎn)直令人難以置信。

sion, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allow one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programmes which are both instructive and entertaining.(85年考題)

分析: 在此長(zhǎng)句中, 有一個(gè)插入語(yǔ)“it is often said”, 三個(gè)并列的謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu), 還有一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句, 這三個(gè)并列的謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)盡管在結(jié)構(gòu)上同屬于同一個(gè)句子,但都有獨(dú)立的意義, 因此在翻譯時(shí), 可以采用分句法, 按照漢語(yǔ)的習(xí)慣把整個(gè)句子分解成幾個(gè)獨(dú)立的分句, 結(jié)果為:

人們常說(shuō), 通過(guò)電視可以了解時(shí)事, 掌握科學(xué)和政治的最新動(dòng)態(tài)。從電視里還可以看到層出不窮、既有教育意義又有娛樂(lè)性的新節(jié)目。

下面我們?cè)倥e一個(gè)例子:

they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match.(85年考題)

他們所必須做的只是按一下開關(guān)。開關(guān)一開, 就可以看到電視劇、電影、歌劇, 以及其他各種各樣的文藝節(jié)目。至于政治問(wèn)題的辯論、最近的激動(dòng)人心的足球賽更是不在話下。

gh perhaps only 1 per cent of the life that has started somewhere will develop into highly complex and intelligent patterns, so vast is the number of planets that intelligent life is bound to be a natural part of the universe.雖然在某處已經(jīng)開始的生命中可能僅有百分之一會(huì)發(fā)展成高度復(fù)雜、有智慧的型式, 但是行星的數(shù)目如此之多, 以致有智慧的生命一定是宇宙的一個(gè)天然組成部分。

(4)綜合法。上面我們講述了英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句的逆序法、順序法和分句法, 事實(shí)上,在翻譯一個(gè)英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句時(shí), 并不只是單純地使用一種翻譯方法, 而是要求我們把各種方法綜合使用, 這在我們上面所舉的例子中也有所體現(xiàn)。尤其是在一些情況下, 一些英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句單純采用上述任何一種方法都不方便, 這就需要我們的仔細(xì)分析, 或按照時(shí)間的先后, 或按照邏輯順序, 順逆結(jié)合, 主次分明地對(duì)全句進(jìn)行綜合處理,以便把英語(yǔ)原文翻譯成通順忠實(shí)的漢語(yǔ)句子。例如:

were afraid to leave their houses, for although the police had been ordered to stand by in case of emergency, they were just as confused and helpless as anybody else.分析: 該句共有三層含義: a: 人們不敢出門;b: 盡管警察已接到命令, 要作好準(zhǔn)備以應(yīng)付緊急情況;c: 警察也和其他人一樣不知所措和無(wú)能為力。在這三層含義中, b表示讓步, c表示原因, 而a則表示結(jié)果, 按照漢語(yǔ)習(xí)慣順序, 我們作如下的安排:

盡管警察已接到命令, 要作好準(zhǔn)備以應(yīng)付緊急情況, 但人們不敢出門, 因?yàn)榫煲埠推渌艘粯硬恢牒蜔o(wú)能為力。

下面我們?cè)倥e幾個(gè)例子:

scientific and technical books, especially textbooks, requires revision at short intervals if their authors wish to keep pace with new ideas, observations and discoveries.對(duì)于現(xiàn)代書籍, 特別是教科書來(lái)說(shuō), 要是作者希望自己書中的內(nèi)容能與新概念、新觀察到的事實(shí)和新發(fā)現(xiàn)同步發(fā)展的話, 那么就應(yīng)該每隔較短的時(shí)間, 將書中的內(nèi)容重新修改。

his cue from ibsen's a doll's house, in which the heroine, nora, leaves home because she resents her husband's treating her like a child, the writer lu xun warned that nora would need money to support herself;she must have economic rights to survive.易卜生的劇作《玩偶之家》中的女主人公娜拉離家出走, 因?yàn)樗鲪核恼煞蛳駥?duì)待孩子一樣來(lái)對(duì)待她。作家魯迅從中得到啟示, 從而告誡人們娜拉得需要錢來(lái)養(yǎng)活自己, 她要生存就必須有經(jīng)濟(jì)上的權(quán)利。

to the present time, throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this new tendency placed the home in the immediate suburbs, but concentrated manufacturing activity, business relations, government, and pleasure in the centers of the cities.到目前為止, 經(jīng)歷了18和19兩個(gè)世紀(jì), 這種新的傾向是把住宅安排在城市的近郊, 而把生產(chǎn)活動(dòng)、商業(yè)往來(lái)、政府部門以及娛樂(lè)場(chǎng)所都集中在城市的中心地區(qū)。

英譯漢是運(yùn)用漢語(yǔ)把英語(yǔ)所表達(dá)的思想準(zhǔn)確而完整地重新表達(dá)出來(lái)的語(yǔ)言活動(dòng)。而英譯漢的過(guò)程則是 正確理解英語(yǔ)原文和創(chuàng)造性地用漢語(yǔ)再現(xiàn)英語(yǔ)原文的過(guò)程, 在英譯漢的過(guò)程中, 有兩點(diǎn)值得我們特別地注 意:

(1)漢語(yǔ)所要表達(dá)的是英語(yǔ)原文的內(nèi)容, 即句子或文章的意義, 而不是句子結(jié)構(gòu);

(2)在翻譯過(guò)程中, 英語(yǔ)原文的內(nèi)容要準(zhǔn)確而完整地重新表達(dá)出來(lái),而不是將兩種語(yǔ)言結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單的轉(zhuǎn)換。

因此,在做英譯 漢的題目時(shí), 漢語(yǔ)所表達(dá)的意義應(yīng)與原文保持一致, 而漢語(yǔ)的句子結(jié)構(gòu)只是為這一表達(dá)服務(wù), 而不應(yīng)拘泥 于原文。另外, 應(yīng)付英譯漢考試和一般的從事翻譯創(chuàng)作不同, 因?yàn)楦髯杂胁煌暮饬繕?biāo)準(zhǔn), 翻譯創(chuàng)作的標(biāo) 準(zhǔn)為“信、達(dá)、雅”, 而英譯漢考試則只要做到“忠實(shí)、通順”即可。要做到忠實(shí)原文,就應(yīng)該掌握好適 度原則, 即要把原文的內(nèi)容準(zhǔn)確完整地表達(dá)出來(lái), 既不能改變和歪曲, 也不能增加或刪減。例如, he is seriously ill.這本來(lái)是一個(gè)極為簡(jiǎn)單的句子, 可將其翻譯為“他病得歷害”或“他病得很重 ”, 但有人為了追求譯文所謂的“漂亮”, 把它譯成“他茍延殘喘”, 這就給譯文增加了 一定的感情色彩, 違背了忠實(shí)的原則, 反而得不償失。要做到通順, 就必須把英語(yǔ)原文翻譯成合乎漢語(yǔ)規(guī) 范的漢語(yǔ), 譯文必須是明白通暢的現(xiàn)代漢語(yǔ), 即不能逐字逐詞的死譯, 也不能生吞活剝。例如, his addi tion completed the list.有人將該句翻譯成“他的加入結(jié)束了名單”或“他的加入完成了名單 ”, 這樣的翻譯盡管可以使讀者能勉強(qiáng)看懂, 但總使人有別扭之感, 根本不象是地道的漢語(yǔ), 根本 就不符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣, 關(guān)于上句, 我們不妨把它翻譯為“把他添上, 名單(上的人)就全了”, 這樣采取靈活的方法, 沒(méi)有生硬地套用原文的結(jié)構(gòu), 就使得譯文合乎漢語(yǔ)的習(xí)慣, 使人容易看懂, 讀起 來(lái)也順口多了。英譯漢的過(guò)程包括理解, 分析句架表達(dá)和校核三個(gè)階段, 理解是表達(dá)的前提, 若不能正確地理解原文就談不上確切的表達(dá), 但理解與表達(dá)通常是互相聯(lián)系, 往返反復(fù)的過(guò)程, 在進(jìn)行漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)的時(shí)候, 又可以進(jìn)一步加深對(duì)原文的理解, 因此, 在英譯漢的過(guò)程中, 往往需要考生從英語(yǔ)到漢語(yǔ), 再?gòu)臐h語(yǔ)到英語(yǔ)反復(fù)的推敲。

一、理 解

理解階段的目的在于讀懂英語(yǔ)原文, 弄清原文的意思。為了透徹理解原文, 建議考生在復(fù)習(xí)和應(yīng)試時(shí)采取下列步驟:

(1)通讀全文。通讀全文的目的在于從整體上把握整篇文章的內(nèi)容,理解劃線的部分與文章其他部分之間的語(yǔ)法與邏輯關(guān)系。在段落中要搞清劃線的句子和其他句子之間的關(guān)系, 特別要弄清代詞it, they, them, this, that, these, those other所指代的詞或詞組。這些詞和詞組有時(shí)在劃線的部分就能找到,有時(shí)則要到前面有關(guān)的句子中去找,這樣的例子在今年的試題中是很多的。如: 92年的英譯漢考題第一小題的英文為: there is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them.在該句子中有the term一詞, 那么它指代的是什么呢? 只有通過(guò)閱讀上下文才能搞清楚, 而有的考生只是單純地把它翻譯為“這一術(shù)語(yǔ)”, 但是,在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案中, 該詞被翻譯成“智力”, 因?yàn)橥ㄟ^(guò)上下文我們很容易地看出它指的是“智力”這一術(shù)語(yǔ)。再比如在93年的考題中的英譯漢部分的第二題的句子為“it is not that scales in the one case, and the balance in the other, differ in the principles of their construction or manner of working;but that the latter is a much finer apparatus and of course much more accurate in its measurement than the former.” 在這個(gè)句子中,the scales in the one case, the balance in the other, the former, the latter等的含義都是在把握全文的基礎(chǔ)之上才能掌握的,也只有這樣我們才能做出正確的翻譯。目前市場(chǎng)上的一些復(fù)習(xí)指導(dǎo)書主張考生不用通讀全文,我們認(rèn)為這是很不可取的,因?yàn)楣铝⒌亻喿x劃線部分的英語(yǔ),往往無(wú)法理解該部分的真正含義。一篇好的文章, 其前后的意思都互相關(guān)聯(lián), 具有很強(qiáng)的邏輯性, 一個(gè)單詞或句子只有在具體的上下文中才能體現(xiàn)出確切的含義來(lái), 這就是為什么我們有時(shí)看完一本書或一篇文章之后才對(duì)上文中的某個(gè)難以理解的地方“恍然大悟”。因此,上下文能幫助我們正確的理解劃線的部分, 通讀全文是很重要的。但是, 在通讀全文的過(guò)程中應(yīng)該注意,對(duì)非劃線的部分不要花費(fèi)時(shí)間過(guò)多,對(duì)于其中一些不太容易理解的內(nèi)容也不必太在意,只是搞清大體意義即可。因?yàn)橥ㄗx全文的目的在于幫助自己理解劃線的部分, 只要能把該部分理解透徹也就足夠了。

(2)分析劃線部分的句子結(jié)構(gòu)。中國(guó)的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者往往具有非常好的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法知識(shí),在做翻譯試題時(shí)也應(yīng)充分發(fā)揮和利用這一優(yōu)勢(shì)。從近年來(lái)的研究生入學(xué)試題來(lái)看,劃線的部分一般來(lái)說(shuō)結(jié)構(gòu)句子都比較復(fù)雜。例如, 1994年的第二小題, “in short, a leader of the new school contends, ”the scientific revolution, as we call it, was largely the improvement and invention and the use of a series of instruments that expanded the reach of science in innumerable directions.像這樣復(fù)雜的句子如果不搞清楚它的語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu), 很難達(dá)到正確完整地理解原文的要求。在分析劃線的部分的句子結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí),我們要注意首先把句子的主語(yǔ)、謂語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ)找出來(lái),這樣句子的骨干結(jié)構(gòu)也就清楚了,在分析句子的骨干結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)還應(yīng)該注意分析句子中成分是否有省略的地方,主句和從句之間的關(guān)系是否明確等等,在此我們?cè)俅翁嵝芽忌⒁?,正確地把握句子的結(jié)構(gòu)是進(jìn)行正確地翻譯的關(guān)鍵,如果連句子結(jié)構(gòu)還沒(méi)有搞清楚,就匆忙地動(dòng)筆翻譯,肯定是不會(huì)有好的結(jié)果的,在往屆的考生中,這樣的教訓(xùn)屢見(jiàn)不鮮。下面我們以1996年碩士研究生入學(xué)考試英語(yǔ)試題的第72題來(lái)說(shuō)明句子結(jié)構(gòu)的分析方法:

this trend began during the second world war, when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail.這是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句,句子的骨干結(jié)構(gòu)為this trend began during the second world war, when…, when是一個(gè)關(guān)系副詞,在這個(gè)句子中引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,修飾前面的名詞the second world war。而在when引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句中,主句是several governments came to the conclusion …, that引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句,做conclusion的同位語(yǔ)。在這個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句中,主句是the specific demands… cannot generally be foreseen…, that是關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,修飾前面的名詞demands。這樣通過(guò)我們進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的分析,在搞清楚句子的具體結(jié)構(gòu)之后,在動(dòng)筆翻譯也就簡(jiǎn)單多了。也只有劃清句架結(jié)構(gòu),我們才能知道如何翻譯。例如上句中如果我們把when作為狀語(yǔ)從句,譯成“當(dāng)……時(shí)候”就要被扣掉0??5分。如果把demand當(dāng)成動(dòng)詞,也要扣0??5分。

(3)理解分析劃線部分的含義??忌粌H要弄清句子中所有實(shí)詞和虛詞的詞匯意義, 還要理解全句的整體意義。理解句子的依據(jù)除了句子本身之外, 還有該句子所處的具體的語(yǔ)言環(huán)境。在此階段應(yīng)清楚下列問(wèn)題: a.句子中是否 含有代詞和其他具有指代意義的詞, 如果有, 應(yīng)根據(jù)上下文確定它們指代的內(nèi)容是什么;b.句子中的短語(yǔ)和一些常 用的詞往往具有多種含義和用法, 那么, 在該句中它們的具體含義是什么;c.按照你的理解, 該部分的意義是否與 全篇文章的內(nèi)容一致, 有無(wú)相互矛盾??傊? 在動(dòng)手翻譯之前, 首先要讀懂原文, 不要一上來(lái)就急于動(dòng)手翻譯, 這 樣做往往會(huì)出現(xiàn)一種情況: 該題快要翻譯完了, 猛然又發(fā)現(xiàn)自己理解有誤,馬上就急忙修改, 搞的卷面上一塌糊涂, 而且很容易忙中出錯(cuò), 把本應(yīng)拿到的分?jǐn)?shù)丟掉了, 這是非常令人可惜的。例如,某年的英譯漢試題中有這樣一句要 求翻譯的句子: the capacity to use a raw material depends on various factors, such as means of access, methods of extraction, and techniques of processing.一位考生把它翻譯成“使用原料的能力取決于各種各樣 的因素, 例如,接近的方法, 提取的方法和加工技術(shù)?!?很顯然, 這為考生并未完全理解這句話的意思, 原文列出 的三個(gè)因素, 是指獲得某種原材料的三個(gè)過(guò)程, 即探礦、開采和冶煉, 因此, ”means of access”, “methods of extraction” 和“techniques of processing” 應(yīng)該分別譯為“鉆探手段”、“開采方法”和“冶煉技術(shù)”, 那么, 整個(gè)句子就可翻譯為“利用一種原材料能力的大小取決于各種各樣的因素, 比如,鉆探手段、開采方法和 冶煉技術(shù)?!?/p>

二、表 達(dá)

表達(dá)就是譯者把自己從英語(yǔ)原文理解的內(nèi)容用漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)出來(lái), 表達(dá)的好壞取決與譯者對(duì)于英語(yǔ)原文的理解程度以及漢語(yǔ)的修養(yǎng)水平。理解是表達(dá)的基礎(chǔ),表達(dá)是理解的結(jié)果,但是理解正確并不意味著一定會(huì)有正確的表達(dá),許多考生反映,有時(shí)對(duì)原文理解之后還不知如何用漢語(yǔ)表達(dá),就充分說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn),因?yàn)樵诒磉_(dá)上還存在許多具體的方法和技巧。關(guān)于這些方法和技巧我們將在后面詳細(xì)論述, 在此我們只是介紹兩中基本的翻譯方法: 直譯和意譯。

(1)直譯。所謂直譯, 就是在譯文語(yǔ)言條件許可時(shí), 在譯文中既保持原文的內(nèi)容, 又保持原文的形式。在漢語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)兩種語(yǔ)言中存在著許多共同之處,在對(duì)于許多英語(yǔ)句子的翻譯過(guò)程中, 完全可以采取直譯的方法, 這樣可以獲得一舉兩得之功效, 既保持了原文的結(jié)構(gòu), 又正確表達(dá)了原文的內(nèi)容。但是直譯不是死譯和硬譯,象“it is asserted that …;it is believed that …”這一類的結(jié)構(gòu), 如果直譯過(guò)來(lái)那就不倫不類了。

(2)意譯。漢語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)分別屬于不同的語(yǔ)系, 兩者在詞匯、句法結(jié)構(gòu)和表達(dá)方法上具有很多的差異。當(dāng)原文的思想內(nèi)容與譯文的表達(dá)形式有矛盾不易采用直譯的方法處理時(shí), 就應(yīng)采用意譯法, 意譯就是不拘泥于原文的形式, 重點(diǎn)在于正確表達(dá)原文的內(nèi)容。例如:“do you see any green in my eye?” 象這樣的句子, 只能采取意譯的方法, 把它翻譯為“你以為我是好欺騙的嗎?” 當(dāng)然, 意譯并不等于亂譯,胡亂地翻譯是不符合“忠實(shí)”的翻譯標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的。

在具體的翻譯過(guò)程中, 我們應(yīng)該采取靈活的方法, 不論是直譯還是意譯, 只要是符合“忠實(shí)、通順”的翻譯原則, 都是可取的。在這里我們建議考生對(duì)結(jié)構(gòu)比較復(fù)雜的句子可以先采取直譯的方法,然后再對(duì)直譯得出得結(jié)果進(jìn)行加工潤(rùn)色,在保持原來(lái)句子意義的基礎(chǔ)上,根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣,用既符合原文的意義又符合漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)習(xí)慣的句子表達(dá)出來(lái)。例如,我們?cè)谏厦娣治龅?996年考題中的第72題我們可以首先直譯為:

這種趨勢(shì)開始于第二次世界大戰(zhàn),當(dāng)時(shí)一些政府得出這樣的結(jié)論,政府希望對(duì)科研部門所提出的特定的要求,總的來(lái)說(shuō)還不能非常具體的預(yù)見(jiàn)到。

然后,我們對(duì)上述譯文進(jìn)行加工潤(rùn)色,就可以得出下面的結(jié)果:

這種趨勢(shì)始于第二次世界大戰(zhàn),當(dāng)時(shí)一些國(guó)家的政府得出結(jié)論,政府向科研機(jī)構(gòu)提出的具體要求通常是無(wú)法預(yù)見(jiàn)的。

在翻譯的過(guò)程中, 我們務(wù)必注意以下幾點(diǎn):

(1)理解透徹之后再動(dòng)手表達(dá), 否則表達(dá)的結(jié)果會(huì)令人莫名其妙;

(2)切忌在翻譯時(shí)把漢語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)對(duì)號(hào)入座, 逐字逐句的對(duì)號(hào)入座的結(jié)果往往是不倫不類;

(3)切忌擅自增減詞意, 增減意義與翻譯技巧中經(jīng)常提到的增詞法與減詞法根本就不是一回事。

三、校 核

校核階段是理解與表達(dá)的進(jìn)一步深化, 是對(duì)原文內(nèi)容進(jìn)一步核實(shí)以及對(duì)譯文語(yǔ)言進(jìn)一步推敲的階段, 因此, 校核是翻譯過(guò)程中一個(gè)很重要的階段, 并不是可有可無(wú)的, 通過(guò)表達(dá)之后的校核, 我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)譯文的一些問(wèn)題, 確保自己理解的內(nèi)容很有把握地得到分?jǐn)?shù)。在校核階段, 一般應(yīng)注意與下列各項(xiàng)有關(guān)的問(wèn)題:

(1)人名、地名、日期、方位和數(shù)字等;

(2)漢語(yǔ)譯文的詞與句有無(wú)錯(cuò)漏;(3)修改譯文中譯錯(cuò)或表達(dá)不夠準(zhǔn)確的句子、詞組或詞匯;

(4)有無(wú)錯(cuò)別字;

(5)標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)是否有誤。

復(fù)試英譯漢技巧篇二

考博英譯漢技巧總結(jié)

1.英漢語(yǔ)言的異同

1.1.英語(yǔ)是形合:需要使用連詞或者關(guān)聯(lián)詞表示各部分的邏輯關(guān)系;漢語(yǔ)是意合:句與句之間的邏輯關(guān)系“隱含”于上下文之間。如果漢語(yǔ)使用形合句,則顯得語(yǔ)氣莊重、措辭嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。

1.2.語(yǔ)序方面,主謂賓的位置比較相似。然而狀語(yǔ)、定語(yǔ)的位置有差異。狀語(yǔ):英語(yǔ)可以放在主句前或后,漢語(yǔ)一般放在主句前。狀語(yǔ)順序方面,英語(yǔ):方式狀語(yǔ)+地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)+時(shí)間狀語(yǔ);漢語(yǔ):時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)+地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)+方式狀語(yǔ)。定語(yǔ):漢語(yǔ)大部分在修飾詞的前面,英語(yǔ)的狀語(yǔ)可以在修飾詞的前(形容詞)或者后(定語(yǔ)從句)。英語(yǔ)多長(zhǎng)句、松散句(中心在句首),漢語(yǔ)多短句、圓周句(中心在句尾)。

1.3.英語(yǔ)中多使用名詞,漢語(yǔ)中多使用動(dòng)詞。因此,英語(yǔ)中的名詞需要譯成動(dòng)詞。

2.詞語(yǔ)翻譯的五大原則

2.1.轉(zhuǎn)換原則:將具有動(dòng)詞意味的名(形、介、副)詞譯成動(dòng)詞。

2.2.具體原則:把原文中抽象或者比較抽象的詞用較為具體的詞進(jìn)行翻譯。2.3.加法原則:增補(bǔ)英語(yǔ)原句中省略的動(dòng)詞或其他省略部分。

2.4.減法原則:英語(yǔ)中的部分不需要翻譯【冠詞;充當(dāng)主語(yǔ)的人稱代詞、作賓語(yǔ)的代詞和物主代詞;連詞(并列連詞、復(fù)合句中的連詞);介詞(表示時(shí)間地點(diǎn)的英語(yǔ)介詞在句首可省略,句尾不能省略)】。

2.5.重復(fù)原則:對(duì)上下文出現(xiàn)過(guò)的詞加以重復(fù)的譯法。漢語(yǔ)多重復(fù),英語(yǔ)多變化。一是重復(fù)省略的名詞、動(dòng)詞、代詞。二是重復(fù)賓語(yǔ)。為了明確,英語(yǔ)的一句話中兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞共用一個(gè)賓語(yǔ),賓語(yǔ)在第二個(gè)動(dòng)詞之后出現(xiàn)一次。而漢語(yǔ),這樣的賓語(yǔ)要在每個(gè)動(dòng)詞后分別出現(xiàn)。三是重復(fù)名詞。兩個(gè)定語(yǔ)共同修飾一個(gè)名詞;被定語(yǔ)從句修飾的名詞。

3.名詞從句的翻譯技巧 3.1.主語(yǔ)從句。

主語(yǔ)從句如果以what, whatever等代詞引導(dǎo),翻譯時(shí)一般按照原文的順序進(jìn)行翻譯。如果是以it引導(dǎo)的主語(yǔ)從句,翻譯時(shí)要把主句的謂語(yǔ)分譯成一個(gè)獨(dú)立句,然后再譯從句【謂語(yǔ)分譯法】。

it goes without saying that oxygen is the most active element in the atmosphere.不言而喻,氧是大氣中最活潑的元素。3.2.賓語(yǔ)從句。

由that, what, how引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句,漢譯時(shí)一般按照原文的語(yǔ)序進(jìn)行翻譯。有時(shí)可以加“說(shuō)”字,接著譯原文賓語(yǔ)從句的內(nèi)容。he replied that he was sorry.他回答說(shuō),他感到抱歉。

由it作形式賓語(yǔ)的句子,漢譯時(shí)一般按照原文的順序譯,只是it不譯。i made it clear to them that they should have got these holes dug long ago.我和他們說(shuō)清楚了,他們本來(lái)早該把坑挖好了。有時(shí)需將that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句提前。i owe it to you that i have got the post.我得到這個(gè)職位全靠你。3.3.表語(yǔ)從句:可按照原文順序進(jìn)行翻譯。3.4.同位語(yǔ)從句。

同位語(yǔ)從句漢譯時(shí)可以按原文順序翻譯,也可以將同位語(yǔ)從句提前,這要視具體情況而定。有時(shí)還可以增加“即”、“這樣”或者破折號(hào)、冒號(hào)。

4.定語(yǔ)從句的翻譯技巧

英語(yǔ)中定語(yǔ)從句可分為限定性定語(yǔ)從句和非限定性定語(yǔ)從句,絕大部分后置。漢語(yǔ)中所有定語(yǔ)均前置。漢語(yǔ)不用長(zhǎng)定語(yǔ)。如果英語(yǔ)中的定語(yǔ)從句太長(zhǎng),不宜譯成漢語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)。如果英語(yǔ)中的定語(yǔ)從句短,一般譯成漢語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)。4.1.譯成定語(yǔ)。當(dāng)英語(yǔ)定語(yǔ)從句比較短,譯成漢語(yǔ)也不冗長(zhǎng),該從句可以譯成漢語(yǔ)中的定語(yǔ)。即“??的”句式。4.2.重復(fù)先行詞譯出。如果英語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)從句在意思上同先行詞的關(guān)系不太密切,而且整個(gè)從句用作補(bǔ)充或說(shuō)明先行詞的附加語(yǔ),或者定語(yǔ)從句套定語(yǔ)從句,可采用重復(fù)先行詞的譯法:按原次序譯出,用名詞或代詞(這、那、其)等代替先行詞。當(dāng)從句中的which和as代表整個(gè)主句時(shí),一般都譯成并列句,主語(yǔ)用代詞(這、那)等代替。

mechanical energy can be changed into electrical energy, which in turn can be changed into mechanical energy.機(jī)械能能轉(zhuǎn)化為電能,電能也可以轉(zhuǎn)化為機(jī)械能。(重復(fù)名詞)

galileo was a famous italian scientist by whom the copernican theory was further proved correct.伽利略是著名的意大利科學(xué)家,他進(jìn)一步證明了哥白尼的學(xué)說(shuō)是正確的。(用代詞,漢語(yǔ)多主動(dòng))

liquid water changes to vapor, which is called evaporating.液態(tài)水變成蒸汽,這就叫蒸發(fā)。(which 代整個(gè)句子,用代詞代替)

4.3.譯成狀語(yǔ)從句。英語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)從句,如果在意思上具有主句動(dòng)作發(fā)生的原因、結(jié)果、目的、讓步、條件等含義,可譯成漢語(yǔ)的狀語(yǔ)從句。同樣可以用名詞或代詞重復(fù)或代替先行詞譯出。

einstein, who worked out the famous theory of relativity, won the nobel prize in 1921.由于愛(ài)因斯坦提出了著名的相對(duì)論,因此,他于1921年獲得了諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)。

electronic computers, which have many advantages, cannot carry out creative work and replace human.雖然電子計(jì)算機(jī)有很多優(yōu)點(diǎn),但它不能進(jìn)行創(chuàng)造性工作,也代替不了人。省譯關(guān)聯(lián)詞。英語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)從句,如果在意義上作為先行詞的陳述部分用來(lái)進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明先行詞的具體內(nèi)容,這時(shí)可采用省譯關(guān)聯(lián)詞的方法,按照原句次序譯出。there are a number of drugs that can cause physical and mental trouble.有許多麻醉品會(huì)對(duì)身心造成傷害。

5.狀語(yǔ)從句的翻譯技巧

英語(yǔ)中狀語(yǔ)從句包括表示時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、條件、讓步、原因等各種從句。漢譯時(shí)要注意兩種語(yǔ)言使用狀語(yǔ)方面的共同性及其各自的特殊性。一般考慮將狀語(yǔ)從句或者狀語(yǔ)部分先譯,放在主句之前。5.1.時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句

譯成相應(yīng)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。譯成并列分句。

was arrested when he himself was not aware what crime he had committed.史密斯先生自己還不知道犯了什么罪,人家就把他逮捕了。英語(yǔ)中存在著內(nèi)容和形式不相一致的情況。有些時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句有時(shí)候可以按其邏輯關(guān)系譯成表示原因、條件、讓步等的分句。

the defense lawyer decided to petition for a new trial when they found an important new witness.由于發(fā)現(xiàn)了一名新的重要證人,辯護(hù)律師決定申請(qǐng)重新開庭審訊。5.2.條件狀語(yǔ)從句

譯成表示“條件”或者“假設(shè)”的分句。譯成補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明情況的分句。

按其邏輯關(guān)系轉(zhuǎn)譯為表示時(shí)間、讓步、結(jié)果、原因等從句。5.3.讓步狀語(yǔ)從句

譯成表示讓步的分句。

譯成表示“無(wú)條件”的條件分句。5.4.地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)從句

譯成相應(yīng)的地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)。

按其邏輯關(guān)系,譯成表示“條件”的狀語(yǔ)。5.5.原因狀語(yǔ)從句

譯成表示“原因”的分句。譯成因果偏正復(fù)句中的主句。譯成因果關(guān)系內(nèi)含的并列分句。

6.反譯法

漢語(yǔ)中表示否定意義的詞都含有明顯的標(biāo)志詞:不、無(wú)、非、勿、未、否、別、沒(méi)有等。英語(yǔ)更加復(fù)雜。除了否定詞外,還有否定詞綴,如:dis-, il-, in-, non-, un-,-less等、形式肯定、意義否定的各類詞語(yǔ),如:fail, deny, defy, miss, lack, ignore, but, except, beyond.短語(yǔ):instead of, in place of、結(jié)構(gòu) more...than...., other than......, rather than.....由于語(yǔ)言的差異,有時(shí)候英語(yǔ)用否定,漢語(yǔ)用肯定。反之亦然。wet paint.油漆未干。

反義法:將原文的肯定形式譯為否定形式,或者相反。包括兩個(gè)方向的互相轉(zhuǎn)變。6.1.正話反說(shuō)

americans are far more race-conscious than class-conscious.美國(guó)人的階級(jí)意識(shí)遠(yuǎn)不如種族意識(shí)那么強(qiáng)烈。6.2.反話正說(shuō)

the thought of returning to his native land never deserted him amid his tribulation.在苦難中,重返故國(guó)的念頭始終在他心頭縈繞著。

it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a turkish and a bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river--and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers, “pluff!pluff!” a hundred and eighty-five kilograms.“ [參考譯文]但當(dāng)我們先是從注釋中得知某詩(shī)行講述了一個(gè)土耳其軍官和一個(gè)保加利亞軍官在橋上動(dòng)手打架并雙雙掉進(jìn)河里,而后卻發(fā)現(xiàn)該行詩(shī)中不過(guò)只充斥著”撲通,撲通,185公斤重“這類對(duì)他們落水時(shí)的動(dòng)靜以及對(duì)軍官 們體重的描寫時(shí),我們不免感到困惑不安。

coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male-domiated job market have limited the opportunities of teen-agers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing janpan?s rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs.[參考譯文]戰(zhàn)后嬰兒潮一代的步入成年以及女性打入男性主導(dǎo)的勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)使得青少年的發(fā)展機(jī)會(huì)變得極為有限,他們已經(jīng)在不停地質(zhì)疑為了爬上日本國(guó)內(nèi)那通往優(yōu)秀學(xué)校和體面工作的嚴(yán)酷的社會(huì)階梯而做出的巨大的個(gè)人犧牲。

year mitsuo setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the american occupation authorities after world war ii had weakened the ”japanese morality of respect for parents“.[參考譯文]去年,當(dāng)擔(dān)任教育部長(zhǎng)職務(wù)的瀨戶光夫爭(zhēng)辯說(shuō)二戰(zhàn)后由美國(guó)占領(lǐng)當(dāng)局引入的自由主義革新削弱了日本民族”尊敬父母的道德品質(zhì)“的時(shí)候,輿論嘩然。

economic growth has come centralization: fully 76 percent of japan?s 119 million citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, tow-generation households.[參考譯文]隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng),出現(xiàn)了集中化:全國(guó)1.19億公民,其中整整76%的人口定居城市:在這里,原來(lái)的社區(qū)和多代同堂的大家庭已被摒棄,取而代之的是與外界疏于往來(lái)的、只由兩代人組成的核心家庭。

d, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of american materialism with a southampton summer home;the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants;the jou rnalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools.[參考譯文]相反,我們被款待看到這樣一些虛偽的壯觀景象,他們似乎比以前的任何時(shí)候都更供應(yīng)充足:美國(guó)式物質(zhì)主義的批判者卻擁有位于南安普頓的避暑山莊:激進(jìn)書籍的出版商卻在三星級(jí)餐廳享用一日三餐;倡導(dǎo)在人生各個(gè)階段的參與民主制的記者,他的子女卻就讀于私立學(xué)校。 clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professional and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any heless, the word ”amateur“ does carry a connotation that person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not share its values.[參考譯文]科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)人員和業(yè)余愛(ài)好者之間劃不出涇渭分明的界線:因?yàn)槿魏我?guī)則都有例外。然而,”業(yè)余“一詞的確意味著相關(guān)人員不能充分融入職業(yè)科學(xué)界,尤其未能分享科學(xué)圈子的價(jià)值。

oecd estimates in its latest economic outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25---0.5% of gdp.[參考譯文]oecd在其最近的《經(jīng)濟(jì)瞭望》中估計(jì),如果石油價(jià)格與1998年的每桶13美元相比在一年中平均為每22美元,這也只會(huì)給富裕的經(jīng)濟(jì)體的石油進(jìn)口賬單上增加gdp的0.25%到0.5%。

more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand.[參考譯文]另外一個(gè)不應(yīng)因油價(jià)上漲而失眠的原因是,這次不像70年代的那些次上漲,它并不是在普遍的商品價(jià)格暴漲和全球需求過(guò)旺的背景之下發(fā)生的。

gh it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effect”, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects--a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen--is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.[參考譯文]盡管它裁決并沒(méi)有憲法權(quán)利來(lái)支持醫(yī)生幫助下的自殺行為,34 最高法院實(shí)際上支持了被稱為“雙重效果”的醫(yī)療原則;這個(gè)已有幾個(gè)世紀(jì)歷史的道德原則認(rèn)為一個(gè)可能有兩個(gè)效果的行為--一個(gè)想要達(dá)到的好的效果和一個(gè)已經(jīng)預(yù)見(jiàn)到的有害的效果是被允許的,如果行為的實(shí)施者想要的只是好的效果的話。(北京安通學(xué)校提供)

復(fù)試英譯漢技巧篇四

復(fù)試最重要的是什么?

有人說(shuō)是成績(jī),那是錯(cuò)誤的,復(fù)試最重要是的是你在未來(lái)導(dǎo)師眼中的形象。怎么樣才能給他一個(gè)好的影像?這對(duì)于還沒(méi)出校門的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)的確不知道要怎么去做?

導(dǎo)師招學(xué)生來(lái)是做什么的?他最想得到什么樣的學(xué)生?

導(dǎo)師要的是那些能做事少說(shuō)話的學(xué)生,就是什么事都做的那種學(xué)生。所以你與導(dǎo)師第一次見(jiàn)面時(shí),不要夸夸其談,這樣的學(xué)生導(dǎo)師是80%討厭的。那第一次與導(dǎo)師見(jiàn)面說(shuō)些什么,一:可以聊一些有關(guān)專業(yè)方面的問(wèn)題,而這些你最好是在你自己見(jiàn)導(dǎo)師之前就準(zhǔn)備好的,一個(gè)能提出好問(wèn)題的學(xué)生比一些能解決問(wèn)題的學(xué)生還重要,問(wèn)專業(yè)問(wèn)題時(shí),不要什么都問(wèn),因?yàn)橛行﹩?wèn)題會(huì)讓導(dǎo)師覺(jué)得你什么也不懂,那么他要不要你還真得好好考慮一下。二:要是你的確沒(méi)什么好問(wèn)題問(wèn),那怎么辦,那就聊天,對(duì),就是聊天!說(shuō)說(shuō)這里的天氣,這是一個(gè)萬(wàn)能的話題,沒(méi)人對(duì)此反感的。三:禮給導(dǎo)師,送什么呢,我覺(jué)得不要太值錢的東西,這樣不太好,就弄些家里十分特別的東西,也就是特產(chǎn)之類的東西,比如你來(lái)自江西景德鎮(zhèn),那么瓷器是必不可少的,一定要是精品,不要隨便在一個(gè)地貨難上弄一個(gè)!

說(shuō)完這些見(jiàn)面“禮”,就輪到面試了;

注意,許多同學(xué)把面試與招工的面試混為一談,這兩者之間是有著極大的不同的,因?yàn)檎泄に菑膸资畟€(gè)人來(lái)選幾個(gè)人出來(lái),而面試是從十幾個(gè)人里選一兩個(gè)出去。所以招工面試可以出奇制勝,而如果你想在這里也來(lái)個(gè)出奇至勝,那么往往是出奇至敗的。

面試的衣著也是很重要的,對(duì)于男生來(lái)說(shuō),如果你選西裝,那么你就要注意以下幾點(diǎn):

1:袖口的商標(biāo)一定要剪掉(不要問(wèn)為什么,剪去沒(méi)錯(cuò))

2:穿西裝要注意“三色原理”,什么是三色原理,就是說(shuō)你身上的 色不過(guò)三,也就是說(shuō)你身上所有的色加起來(lái)不能超過(guò)三種色彩。領(lǐng)帶最好用好一些的,因?yàn)槟鞘悄愕膎o2臉,花紋要是幾何圖形的。如果你的鞋是黑的,那么你的皮帶也要是一樣的色。

3:不能穿白襪子,為什么,因?yàn)樵谡?guī)場(chǎng)合,這是禁忌,在國(guó)外別人把這樣的人說(shuō)成是驢,那么你的腳就自然是驢腳了。

4:不要夾領(lǐng)帶夾,因?yàn)轭I(lǐng)帶夾只有vip與公安等企業(yè)事業(yè)單位的工作人員用,一般的人就不能夾那個(gè)的至于你選休閑裝,就省事多了,如果你選休閑裝的話,面試的老師也不會(huì)與你計(jì)較這些。

女生:

1:我建議都選休閑裝,因?yàn)榕说囊轮皇且话闳四芨愣ǖ?,(裝的講究太

多了)

2:如果你的長(zhǎng)頭發(fā),那么面試時(shí)一定一定一定要扎起來(lái),不能披發(fā),可能有的同學(xué)覺(jué)得自己披發(fā)很好看,可是這里可不要那個(gè)好看。

3:如果你有體味,可以弄點(diǎn)香水,但要用淡的,也不要用多種香水,最好用一種或同一系列的香水。

4:可以適當(dāng)?shù)鼗┑瓓y,因?yàn)榛瘖y是對(duì)別人的尊敬,注意是淡妝

5:一般不建議查口紅,不過(guò)你要查得注意:口紅的色要與你的襯衣色一至,另指油也要一至,不過(guò)好這不要為好

6不能穿帶皮的褲子,因?yàn)樵趪?guó)外,只有妓女才川皮裙,所以帶的褲不要考慮,不管你是不是覺(jué)得好看都不要!

現(xiàn)在說(shuō)說(shuō)怎么去面對(duì)老師了。

坐在中間的那個(gè)老師自然是一把手了,進(jìn)去之前,最好能向他問(wèn)個(gè)好,不要硬綁綁地一屁股坐在椅子上,等他示意你坐,先對(duì)他說(shuō) 謝謝!禮多人不怪

位置是這樣的,中間的老師是老大,你自己右邊的老師是老二,你左邊的是老三,依此推理。

中間老大問(wèn)你問(wèn)題時(shí),你不要只看著他,也要“照顧?一下老三和老二,那么這也許能讓他們幾位多給你加些分的,如果你很怕看著老師,我有一”絕招“教你:你可以把你的目光放到老師身后去,那么這樣你說(shuō)看不到老師,而老師卻以為你是一直看著他的,回答時(shí),頭要?jiǎng)觿?dòng),選從中間向右轉(zhuǎn),再轉(zhuǎn)到左邊,當(dāng)然幅度不要太大,只要讓那些老師都覺(jué)得你至少也”關(guān)照“過(guò)他們了

針對(duì)這次面試情況,有幾點(diǎn)啟發(fā):

第一,自信和放輕松點(diǎn)是主要的。

第二,態(tài)度要誠(chéng)懇,不要夸夸其談。

第三,說(shuō)出的觀點(diǎn)一定要能自圓其說(shuō)。

第四,對(duì)你報(bào)考的導(dǎo)師的研究方向要有所了解和準(zhǔn)備。

第五,英語(yǔ)能力很重要,首先是初試要考,你得過(guò)線,其次是面試也也很重視你的英語(yǔ)能力。

第六,自己要有研究方向,研究方法考博考試

英譯漢翻譯技巧

王 瑛

英譯漢部分要求翻譯單句, 而不是段落或篇章??忌紫纫x懂句子,了解句子的語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)、使用的固定詞組、習(xí)慣用法及詞與詞之間的語(yǔ)義關(guān)系, 然后, 再正確分析原文的語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象和邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行透徹的理解, 最后, 力圖用簡(jiǎn)潔明了的漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)出原文的意思。因此, 考生有必要掌握一些基本的翻譯技巧。

一、翻譯技巧一

一般的英譯漢考題不會(huì)只是簡(jiǎn)單句。我們?cè)谧鲱}時(shí), 首先要從語(yǔ)法入手, 找尋和確定句子大的框架結(jié)構(gòu), 通過(guò)分析把句中的從句和插入部分先排除掉, 明確句子結(jié)構(gòu)有助于我們正確理解整句話的意思。

(一)重點(diǎn)分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)

其實(shí), 就英語(yǔ)的句子結(jié)構(gòu)而言, 是有規(guī)律可循的。除去省略句、倒裝句、感嘆句和

一些特殊句子外, 英語(yǔ)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可歸納為三類: be句型: 主語(yǔ) + be + 表語(yǔ)

miss jones is a manager.瓊斯小姐是位經(jīng)理。

do句型: 主語(yǔ) + do +(賓語(yǔ))+(狀語(yǔ))he teaches english in this school.他在這所學(xué)校教英語(yǔ)。

be句型: there be + 主語(yǔ) + 狀語(yǔ)

there are beautiful wildflowers in the hills.山中有美麗的野花。

(二)確定語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象和慣用結(jié)構(gòu)

英譯漢考題中常見(jiàn)的重點(diǎn)語(yǔ)法有: 時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)、主語(yǔ)從句、表語(yǔ)從句、賓語(yǔ)從句、同位語(yǔ)從句、定語(yǔ)從句、狀語(yǔ)從句、動(dòng)詞不定式、動(dòng)名詞、分詞、虛擬語(yǔ)氣、倒裝句、強(qiáng)調(diào)句等。考生要非常熟悉這些語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象, 才不至于對(duì)句子產(chǎn)生誤解。例如:

? anyone who is interested in it can go with us.對(duì)這事感興趣的人可以跟我們?nèi)ァ?who引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句修飾主語(yǔ)anyone)? the problem discussed at yesterday’s meeting is very important.昨天會(huì)上討論過(guò)的那個(gè)問(wèn)題非常重要。(過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作后置定語(yǔ)修飾主語(yǔ)the problem)? you could have done better if you had been more careful.要是細(xì)心一點(diǎn)的話,你就會(huì)做得更好。(if 引導(dǎo)虛擬語(yǔ)氣的條件狀語(yǔ)從句)? hardly had i said that when she entered the room.我剛說(shuō)完,她就進(jìn)來(lái)了。(倒裝句, 否定詞hardly位于句首, 助動(dòng)詞had 放在主語(yǔ)i之前)? it was not until last night that i noticed this matter.直到昨晚我才注意到這件事。(強(qiáng)調(diào)句: it was not until+強(qiáng)調(diào)成分+that句子其余成分)? the books were either works on travel or detective novels.這些書要么是關(guān)于旅行的, 要么就是偵探小說(shuō)。(連接詞either? or?連接兩個(gè)表語(yǔ))(三)熟悉固定搭配詞組和習(xí)慣用法

英譯漢考題中還常常會(huì)設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)關(guān)鍵的考點(diǎn) – 固定搭配的詞組和習(xí)慣表達(dá)法, 旨在考查考生對(duì)詞匯的掌握和運(yùn)用情況??忌诶斫膺@些習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)時(shí)會(huì)感到很困難, 這是因?yàn)閱螐慕M成某個(gè)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)的詞的字面意思上來(lái)理解其含義, 往往會(huì)出偏差, 必將影響到對(duì)整個(gè)句子的理解。例如:

? they came up with a cure for the disease at last.他們最終發(fā)現(xiàn)了治療這種疾病的方法(短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,意為“提出;發(fā)現(xiàn)”)

? the news got around by word of mouth.這一消息通過(guò)人們的口傳播開來(lái)。(介詞短語(yǔ),意為“口頭流傳”)

? it’ll be cheaper in the long run to use real leather.從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看, 用真皮更便宜。(介詞短語(yǔ),意為“從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看”)

? i’ll tell them the truth, regardless of what they want to hear.不管他們?cè)覆辉敢饴?tīng), 我要告訴他們真相。(形容詞短語(yǔ),意為 “不管...”)

? punishment had very little effect on him.懲罰對(duì)他沒(méi)有什么效果。(名詞短語(yǔ),意為“對(duì)?起作用”)

(四)熟練掌握過(guò)渡連接詞

過(guò)渡連接詞是使上下文的連接自然、緊湊的有效方法,使文章整體具有結(jié)構(gòu)上的粘著性和意義上的連貫性。因此,熟練掌握過(guò)渡連接詞能充分把握住原文的意圖和出題思路。過(guò)渡連接詞按語(yǔ)義劃分為以下最常見(jiàn)的幾種類型

表示增補(bǔ): and , also , besides , what’s more , in addition , furthermore ?

表示因果: for this reason, because of, since, as a result, thus, therefore, so, hence ?

表示轉(zhuǎn)折: however, still, but, otherwise, despite, nevertheless, though, in fact ?

表示列舉: firstly, secondly, for one thing?for another, to begin with, then, last ?

表示解釋: for example, for instance, that is, namely ? 表示總結(jié): in short, to sum up, in conclusion, briefly, on the whole ?

例如:

? the railroad connects two cities, namely, new york and chicago.這鐵路聯(lián)接兩個(gè)城市, 即紐約和芝加哥。(表示解釋)? she was very tired, nevertheless, she kept on working.她雖然很疲倦, 然而她卻繼續(xù)工作。(表示轉(zhuǎn)折)? he said that he could not find it and, furthermore, that nobody would ever find it.他說(shuō)他找不到它, 而且也沒(méi)有人會(huì)找到它。(表示增補(bǔ))? he was ill, and therefore could not come.(表示結(jié)果)他病了, 所以未能來(lái)。

二、翻譯技巧二

每一種語(yǔ)言,在詞意的運(yùn)用,語(yǔ)句的鋪排、句子的結(jié)構(gòu)方面,都有其獨(dú)特的方式,而每一詞每一字所承載的文化信息亦各不相同。因此, 英譯漢的表達(dá)方式總體上可以分成兩大類:

(一)直譯法:

一般來(lái)說(shuō), 在語(yǔ)言條件許可的情況下, 應(yīng)該盡可能地用直譯, 使譯文既能保持原文的內(nèi)容, 又能保持原文的形式和風(fēng)格。例如:

o all roads lead to roma.條條大路通羅馬。

o the soldier was as brave as a lion.那個(gè)士兵像獅子一樣勇敢。

o my brother is like a duck to water in the new job.我哥哥在新的工作崗位上如魚得水。

o it is he who has consistently offered fuel in snowy weather but never added flowers to embroidery.他這個(gè)人一向?qū)θ耸茄┲兴吞?,從?lái)不是錦上添花。

(二)意譯法: 為使譯文得到和原文基本相同的文化信息,當(dāng)翻譯中遇到兩種文化有差異,用直譯無(wú)法使譯文傳達(dá)準(zhǔn)確的信息時(shí),就要在母語(yǔ)中尋找與其對(duì)應(yīng)的表達(dá)方式,利用各種必要的轉(zhuǎn)換手段進(jìn)行意譯。例如: ? he is down and out as if/though he lived a dog’s life.他窮困, 潦倒,好像過(guò)著牛馬一樣的生活。(轉(zhuǎn)譯法-a dog’s life轉(zhuǎn)換詞義)

? he behaved politely while answering the interviewer’s questions.他在回答采訪者問(wèn)題時(shí), 很有禮貌。(省略法–behaved 一詞不譯出)? he is a stranger to the company’s business.他對(duì)于該公司的經(jīng)營(yíng)業(yè)務(wù)是陌生的。(轉(zhuǎn)換法–stranger 名詞轉(zhuǎn)換成形容詞)? all preparation must be done before you do experiments.在做試驗(yàn)之前, 一切準(zhǔn)備工作都必須做好。(增加法-preparation增加“工作”)

? each country has its own customs.各國(guó)有各國(guó)的風(fēng)俗.(重復(fù)法-each country重復(fù)使用“各國(guó)”)
