英語散文翻譯-專業(yè)提高翻譯水平

1、Translation of Proses品味散文品味散文By Peter ChenDozens of my books were purchased with money which ought to have been spent upon what are called necessities of life. Many a time I have stood before a stall, or a booksellers window, torn by conflict of intellectual desire and bodily need.對照譯文：我的成打成打的書都是用了該

2、花在生活必需品上的錢買來的。不止次我站在書攤，或是書店的櫥窗前，經(jīng)受精神需要和物質(zhì)需要的沖突的折磨。參考譯文：鄙人鄙人所購的許多書籍，所用之款之款本應(yīng)用于所謂生活必需品。我時常留連于書攤前或是書店的櫥窗前，在心智渴念心智渴念與口腹之欲口腹之欲的矛盾中受盡煎熬。鄙人鄙人勾起讀者時代聯(lián)想Association of age, 百年舊作At the very hour of dinner, when my stomach clamored or food, I have been stopped by sight of a volume so long coveted, and marked at

3、so advantageous a price, that I could not let it go: yet to buy it meant pangs of famine.對照譯文：到用晚餐的時間，當(dāng)我的肚子餓得咕嚕咕嚕直叫的時候，我已經(jīng)因為看到一本我已想要多時的書籍而停住勒腳步。樹上標(biāo)著很合算的價格，我實在是不能錯過這個大好的機會，但是如果我買下了這本書籍，那便意味著我將經(jīng)受挨餓的痛苦。參考譯文：某日正當(dāng)進(jìn)餐之時，我饑腸轆轆饑腸轆轆，步步履卻為一書所止履卻為一書所止，此書令我心儀已久，而標(biāo)價竟如此誘人，實不忍失之交臂不忍失之交臂。然而，購之便意味著忍饑挨餓。咕嚕咕嚕直叫，一個滑稽，一個

4、文雅My Heynes Tibullus was grasped at such a moment. It lay on the stall of the old book-shop in Goodge Street a stall where now and then one found an excellent thing among quantities of rubbish.對照譯文：我發(fā)現(xiàn)了海涅的詩集狄巴拉斯。它躺在喬治街一家舊書店的書架上，在那里人們總能從一堆無用的垃圾中挑出優(yōu)秀作品來。參考譯文：那冊海涅的狄巴拉斯詩選便得手于此種情勢之下。它靜臥于古畿大街一家舊書屋的書攤上，此書屋

5、是一個可以沙里淘金的去處?？梢陨忱锾越鸬娜ヌ帯０涤鞑蛔g總有些許遺憾，沙較之于原文的rubbish更雅，更美Sixpence was the price sixpence! At that time I used to eat my midday meal (of course, my dinner) at a coffee-shop, such as now, I suppose, can hardly be found. Sixpence was all I had yes, all I had in the world; it would purchase a plate of meat

6、and vegetables.對照譯文：書價為六便士六便士！那時候，我經(jīng)常在一家咖啡店用午餐（當(dāng)然，我的午餐）。我想，現(xiàn)在那家咖啡店已經(jīng)找不到了。六便士是我的全部是的，是我在這世上擁有的一切。它可以用來購買一碟肉片和蔬菜。參考譯文：標(biāo)價六便士六便士而已而已！其時，我常在一家咖啡店用午餐（當(dāng)然是每日的正餐），我想此類咖啡店現(xiàn)已鮮見。六便士便是我囊中之所有是的，是我在這個世上全部之所有。用它可點一盤肉和蔬菜。語氣詞盡顯文縐縐的喜悅之情But I did not dare to hope that the Tibullus would wait until tomorrow, when a cert

7、ain small sum fell due to me. I pace the pavement, fingering the coppers in my pocket, eyeing the stall, two appetites at combat within me. The book was bought and I went home with it, and as I made dinner of bread and butter I gloated over the pages. 對照譯文：但我不敢希望這本狄巴拉斯詩選是否能等到明天而不被買走，而這小筆價錢有很適合我。我往返于

8、人行道上，手指撥弄著口袋里的銅子，眼睛盯著那本書攤，兩種欲望在體內(nèi)瘋狂地交織。終于我買下了它，帶它一起回家。我邊準(zhǔn)備晚餐，面包黃油，邊心滿意足地翻看著書頁。參考譯文：然而，我豈敢奢望狄巴拉斯詩選會等我到明日，而誰知明日又會不會恰有一筆菲薄的收入落入囊中解我渴書之念。我躑躅于人行道上，手指撥弄著口袋中的銅幣，雙眼盯視著書攤上的書籍。兩種誘惑，一并襲來，在我內(nèi)心一決高下。書，買下了，我攜之回家。邊吃著黃油面包的午餐，邊忘情地徜徉于字里行間。原文書癡形象傳神，高雅文體特點突出。譯文既繪形，有傳神。In this Tibullus I found penciled on the last page:

9、“Perlegi ，Oct. 4, 1792,” who was that possessor of the book, nearly a hundred years ago? There was no other inscription. I like to imagine some poor scholar, poor and eager as I myself, who bought the volume with drops of his blood, and enjoyed the reading of it even as I did. How much that was I co

10、uld not easily say.對照譯文：在這本狄巴拉斯中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)最后一頁有鉛筆寫的小字：“1792年10月4日，讀完。”那或許是此書一百年前的擁有者所寫的吧！除此之外，書中再無筆跡。我喜歡把那位書的曾經(jīng)擁有者想象成和我一樣的窮學(xué)者，雖然窮卻獲得此書。也許他靠血汗才購得此書，卻依然如我一樣享受讀書之樂趣，即使我無法輕易確定此中有多少樂趣。參考譯文：在狄巴拉斯詩選的末頁，我發(fā)現(xiàn)鉛筆的筆注：1792年10月4日，讀畢。百年之前，百年之前，誰藏此書？除此之外，別無他跡誰藏此書？除此之外，別無他跡。我喜遙想：一我喜遙想：一介寒生，貧而愛書，一如鄙人，介寒生，貧而愛書，一如鄙人，用滴學(xué)的錢買下此書

11、，又如我一般，字品句嘗，樂在其中。字品句嘗，樂在其中。欲細(xì)言此樂，我自嘆舌拙筆頹。散文翻譯散文翻譯 散文特點：散文特點：散文與小說、詩歌、戲劇并稱為四大文學(xué)門類,散文的藝術(shù)魅力源自何處? 賈平凹先生說散文是美文,他甚至主張所有美的文字都應(yīng)該被稱為散文。散文翻譯研究現(xiàn)狀：散文翻譯研究現(xiàn)狀：相對于其它文學(xué)樣式翻譯的研究,散文翻譯的研究不夠深入廣泛。中國翻譯界對散文翻譯的研究較西方為盛,然而主要是就散文翻譯的某個側(cè)面開展的研究。劉士聰先生的“韻味說”和高健先生“語言個性論”及“風(fēng)格可譯性”研究較為系統(tǒng)和深入,影響廣泛。散文翻譯原則：散文翻譯原則：1、文氣貫通、文氣貫通,氣韻生動氣韻生動英國散文翻譯家

12、Hilaire Belloc 為文學(xué)散文翻譯制定了6 條原則，認(rèn)為翻譯的本質(zhì)是異地之魂假借異地之魂假借本地之軀的復(fù)活本地之軀的復(fù)活(the essence of translating is the resurrection of an alien thing in a native body) ,強調(diào)散文的翻譯不能拘泥于原文之字句,要視段落或部分為整體。翻譯要“以意譯意( translate intention by intention) ”,以意譯意”與林語堂提倡的翻譯要“翻譯要遵循行文之心理”是高度一致的,這樣可以擺脫原文字句的束縛,有利于發(fā)揮譯入語的優(yōu)勢。2、 傳神寫照傳神寫照“意意,

13、氣氣,文文”三位一體三位一體 在散文翻譯中,我們要想譯得曲盡其妙,須得傳神地摹寫作者的氣質(zhì)神韻。須知“文章以氣韻為主,氣韻不足,雖有詞藻,要非佳作(宋陳善捫虱新話上一) ?！泵恳粋€作者有每一個的個性特點、氣質(zhì)精神,著手翻譯之前,要先對作者進(jìn)行深入的研究,把握其時代背景、人生經(jīng)歷、創(chuàng)作風(fēng)格等,這樣的翻譯方能做到傳神達(dá)意,否則,難免貌合神離文學(xué)翻譯非文字翻譯文學(xué)翻譯非文字翻譯講求整體效果，即“神韻”。有些表面忠實的譯文，失去了散文的文采，文雅，便失去了自身的價值，終究是失敗的譯文 Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is n

14、ot a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. 青春不是指生命的一段時間，而是指一種精神狀態(tài)；他并不是指紅潤的面頰、透紅的嘴唇和靈便的腿腳，而是指堅強的意志、豐富的想象和強烈的感情。他是指生命的源頭活水的清
