4、us，而translatus又是transferre 的過去分詞。在拉丁語里，transferre的意思是carry或transport，指的是背負(fù)物件將其轉(zhuǎn)移到另一地方。詞根trans本身含有時空變遷的意思，而ferre除了“負(fù)重”與“搬運(yùn)”的意思外，還有endure與suffer的含義。,5,Etymologically, “translate” is derived from the Latin word translatus, “ carried over.” Translatus is the past participle of transferre. If divided int

5、o trans and ferre, we can see the proximity of the word to dia and peherein. The Latin term ferre means “to carry” or “ to transport” as in carrying a shield, and was often used to mean to bear or convey with the notion of motion （Homer）, as in ships borne by the forces of wind. If also meant to end

6、ure, to suffer, as in to bear a mental burden (Gentzler, 2001:166),6,It is sometimes said that there is no task more complex than translationa claim that can be readily believed when all the variables involved are taken into account. Translators not only need to know their source language well; they

7、 must also have a thorough understanding of the field of knowledge covered by the source text, and of any social, cultural, or emotional connotations that need to be specified in the target language if the intended effect is to be conveyed. The same special awareness needs to be present for the targ

8、et language, so that points of special phrasing , local (e.g. regional) expectations, and so on, can all be taken into account.,7,Definitions of proper translating are almost numerous and varied as the persons who have undertaken to discuss the subject. This diversity is in a sense quite understanda

9、ble; for there are vast differences in the materials translated, in the purpose of the publication, and in the needs of the prospective audience. Moreover, live languages are constantly changing and stylistic preferences undergo continual modification. Thus a translation acceptable in one period is

10、often quite unacceptable in a latter time. (E.A. Nida),8,Some Definitions by Scholars,Translation may be defined as follows: the replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalent textual material in another language (TL). (Catford: Linguistic Theory of Translation, 1965),9,From the

11、teleological point of view, translation is a process of communication; the objective of translating is to impart the knowledge of the original to the foreign reader. (Wills, 1982: 59) Translation is not simply a matter of seeking other words with similar meaning, but of finding appropriate ways of s

12、aying things in another language. Translating is always meaning-based, i.e. it is the transfer of meaning instead of form from the source language to the target language.,10,翻譯是以符號轉(zhuǎn)換為手段、意義再生為任務(wù)的一項跨文化的交際活動。（許均，翻譯論，2003：75） 翻譯是運(yùn)用一種語言把另一種語言所表達(dá)的思維內(nèi)容準(zhǔn)確而完整地重新表達(dá)出來的語言活動。 By translation here we specifically

13、mean translating, the process of translation, in which something is translated, instead of the work translated.,11,Translation is a science/ an art. Translation is a craft/ a skill. Translation is a language activity /communicating.,Among them the first two are most important for they represent two

14、schoolsthe school of science and the school of art. The former maintains that translating should reproduce the message of the original by means of the transformation of linguistic equivalence. It puts stress on the study of description of the process of translation, and the structures and forms of l

15、anguage so as to reveal the objective laws inherent in translating. The latter school advocates re-creating a literary work by using expressions of another language. It emphasizes the effect of translation.,12,譯者所從事的工作，是“一仆二主”的事情。 翻譯是媒人。 （歌德） Translations are like womenwhen they are faithful they ar

16、e not beautiful; when they are beautiful they are not faithful. 翻譯如臨畫，如伯樂相馬。 （傅雷） Translation is to dance with fetters. Translation is the transmigration of souls. Traduttor traditori.,Some Metaphors of Translation,13,翻譯的形式,Roman Jacobson breaks the field down into three areas: intra-lingual transla

17、tion, a rewording of signs in one language with signs from the same language; inter-lingual translation, or the interpretation of signs in one language with signs from another language (translation “proper”); and inter-semiotic translation, or the transfer (“transmutation”) of the sings in one langu

(Gentzler, 2001:1),14,按語種轉(zhuǎn)換分：漢外翻譯、外漢翻譯； 按工作方式分：口譯、筆譯； 按翻譯材料分：文學(xué)翻譯、科技翻譯、政 論翻譯、應(yīng)用文翻譯； 按處理方式分：全譯、摘譯、編譯。 按翻譯手段分：人工翻譯、機(jī)器翻譯； 按職業(yè)特點分：全職翻譯、兼職翻譯；,15,“無論是在中國還是在西方，翻譯都是一項極其古老的活動。事實上，在整個人類歷史上，語言的翻譯幾乎同語言本身一樣古老。兩個原始部落間的關(guān)系，從勢不兩立到相互友善，無不有賴于語言和思想的交流，有

The style and manner of writing should be of the same character with that of the original. 3. The translation should have the ease of

The ideological content, the linguistic representation and the stylistic characteristic of a piece of literary writing constitute an integral entirety, and a literary translation should be an accurate reproduction of it as a whole.,22,“譯事三難，信、達(dá)、雅。求其信，已大難矣。顧信矣不達(dá)，雖譯猶不譯也，則達(dá)尚焉

31、eorge Steiner ） Theodore Savory在1957年發(fā)表的The Art of Translation 一書中寫道： A fair conclusion from these ideas is that the translators work may be analysed into the answering of three questions. Faced with a passage in its original language, he must ask himself: (1) What does the author say? (2) What does

32、 he mean? (3) How does he say it? This method of analysis may be applied to the paragraph, to the sentence, or even to the phrase.,31,32,要想翻譯意思，必須先弄清楚原文的意思。正如薩沃里所說，譯者必須先問自己第一個問題：作者說的是什么？但若到此為止，那是很不夠的。因為這時你看到的只是字面上的意思，若動手翻譯，難免弄出機(jī)械的字對字的譯文。因此，譯者還必須問自己第二個問題：作者的意思是什么？只有正確地回答了這個問題，才抓住了作者所要表達(dá)的意思。這時動手翻譯，才能真

33、心做到翻譯意思。 The translator must have a good grasp of the authors portrayal of his characters and style of writing.,33,He is easily the best student in the class. 他絕對/無疑是班上最好的學(xué)生。 They gave the boy the lie. 他們指責(zé)男孩說謊。 She sighed for her mother. 她很懷念母親。,I wont do it to save my life. 我死也不干。 Her mother died

34、of difficult labor. 她母親死于難產(chǎn)。 I dare say he is honest. 我覺得他是誠實的。,34,I have no opinion of him. 我覺得他不怎么樣。 He was then bright in the eye. 此時他已喝得酩酊大醉。 Calculation never makes a hero. 舉棋不定永遠(yuǎn)成不了英雄。,Their panic was their only punishment. 他們只是受了一場虛驚。 Do you have a family? 你有孩子了嗎？,35,The translator should rea

35、d the whole piece of writing carefully, try to grasp the ideological content the author wants to express and make clear not only the literal meanings but also the implications between the lines. 1) Please tell me if you can help us. 如果你能幫忙，請說一聲。 請告訴我你是否能幫忙。 2) We have no spring here. 我們這里沒有春天/彈簧/泉水。

36、,36,文章的體裁不同，對譯文流暢的具體要求也不同。若是翻譯小說、散文，流暢應(yīng)含有文字雅致優(yōu)美的意思；若是翻譯詩歌，最好還要講究抑揚(yáng)頓挫、押韻合轍；翻譯社會科學(xué)、自然科學(xué)文章，則要求明白曉暢。原作活潑自如，譯文拘板滯泥，則是沒有盡到責(zé)任。原文平直無文，譯文也很難做到活潑生動。（陳廷佑，2001：145） 筆譯一般都是用書面語，不同于日?？陬^上用的大白話，總是要講究一點，簡練暢達(dá)，有些文采，符合漢語規(guī)范，讀起來上口，聽起來入耳。要做到這一點，應(yīng)該注意翻譯文字上的三忌：啰嗦；學(xué)生腔；洋腔洋調(diào)。,37,1，忌啰嗦話 啰嗦話，或是用詞啰嗦費(fèi)解，或是句子晦澀難懂。 1) Their speeches w

37、ere dressed up with as much care as though they were parliamentary harangues fashioned to the columns of the daily press. A. 他們的演說都經(jīng)過精心打扮，好像它們是日報專欄上刊登的社會宏論似的。 B. 他們的演說被那些小心翼翼地裝扮得像是適合于每日報刊專欄新聞上刊登的議會高談闊論似的。,38,2）Vast lawns extend like sheets of vivid green, with here and there clumps of gigantic trees

38、, heaping up with rich piles of foliage. A. 草地寬闊，好像地上鋪了鮮艷的綠絨似的氈毯 ，巨樹數(shù)株，聚成一簇，綠葉濃密，一眼望去，草地上東一簇，西一簇，這類的大樹可不少。 B. 寬闊的草坪宛如翠綠的地毯，成片的參天大水點綴其間，綠葉濃密，層層迭迭。,39,2，忌學(xué)生腔 學(xué)生腔有種種表現(xiàn)：用詞生硬、呆板、重復(fù)、不自然，或是喜歡拋文，但又不恰當(dāng)，或把簡單句子弄得很繞口，有時又喜歡套用固定程式，“因為所以”，“雖然但是”，“當(dāng)?shù)臅r候”這些，把好端端的文字譯得枯干蒼白，僵硬死板，淡而無味。,40,1） It is a small, old-fashioned

39、but important port. A. 它是一個小的、老式的、但很重要的港口。 B. 它是一個老式的小港，但很重要。,41,2） His assets were learning, memory and a mastery of language. His ungainly figure and his stiffness of gesture were disadvantages. A. 他的財產(chǎn)是學(xué)問、記憶力，有口才。他的不雅的體型和他的姿勢呆板則是他的短處。 B. 博聞強(qiáng)記，長于辭令，是他的優(yōu)點；而體型不雅，姿勢呆板，則是他的短處。,42,3） He is so arrogant

40、that no one will keep company with him. A. 他是如此狂妄自大，以致誰也不愿與他相交。 B. 他很狂妄自大，誰也不愿意與他來往。 4） Big things look very small when they are far away. A. 當(dāng)大的東西離我們遠(yuǎn)的時候，它們看起來就小了。 B. 大的東西離我們遠(yuǎn)一些，就顯得小了。,43,3， 忌過度異化/歸化 譯文帶有外國味，恐怕是難免。但是，舍棄合適而流暢的中文不用，而硬要仿照英文格式翻譯出不符合漢語規(guī)范的譯文，就是洋腔洋調(diào)，這也是對母語的一種污染。,44,The reoccupation of the

41、 Rhineland did not affect France from the defensive point of view. If the Maginot line were all it claimed to be, then her security was as great as before; if the Maginot line was no good, then France had never been secure in any case. 從防御的觀點來看，重占萊茵蘭并沒有影響法國。如果馬奇諾防線恰如人民所說的那樣管用（它被聲稱的一切），那么法國會像從前一樣安全（法

42、國的安全就像從前一樣大）；如果馬奇諾防線沒有什么用處，那么法國在任何情況下也是不安全的。,45,Domestication: a term raised by L. Venuti in 1995 to mean a translation strategy for a transparent, fluent style in order to minimize the strangeness of the foreign text for readers of the translation. Foreignization：opposed to domestication, the term

43、refers to a translation deliberately breaking target conventions by retaining some foreignness or exotic flavor of the original.,46,If youll believe me, he went through with flying colors on examination days!

A：往日種種嚴(yán)格的禮節(jié)，如今已被視為無理取鬧的

45、玩意兒。 B：往日的那些嚴(yán)格的行為規(guī)范現(xiàn)在已被視為普洛克拉斯之床。 Like a son of Bachus, he can drink up two bottles of whisky at a breath. A：活像一位天生的劉伶，他能夠一口氣喝光兩瓶威士忌。 B：他簡直像酒神巴克斯的兒子，能一口氣喝光兩瓶威士忌。,48,Curiously enough, he prophesied with oracular accuracy to the amazement of all. A：說也奇怪，他像諸葛亮一樣，料事如神，大家都驚訝不已。 B：說也奇怪，他料事如神，驗如神啟，使所有人都驚訝不

46、已。,49,在英譯漢時，許多譯者認(rèn)為有五類漢語成語要慎用：一是反映中華民族特殊習(xí)俗的，如義結(jié)金蘭、生辰八字、臥薪嘗膽等；二是帶有漢字特征的，如一字長蛇、有眼不識金鑲玉、目不識丁等；三是含有中國地名的，如江東父老、逐鹿中原、樂不思蜀、廬山真面目等；四是含有中國人名的，如東施效顰、廉頗老矣等；五是涉及中國古老傳說或故事的，如三顧茅廬、暗渡陳倉等。,50,Requirements for Translator,譯者的基本素質(zhì)：能力；責(zé)任感 1. 社會責(zé)任 2. 作風(fēng)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn) 3. 準(zhǔn)確達(dá)意 4. 通曉原文 5. 知識廣博 6. 態(tài)度端正 7. 實事求是 8. 謙虛好學(xué) 9. 精益求精 10. 保密意識
