PARTTHREETranslationTheory0303TranslationTheory

翻译度〔Degreeoftranslation〕我曾见译者因为把握不稳，怕冒风险，以为离原文愈近愈平安——也就是说翻译度越小越妥;即使译文不通顺，至少是信的。——杨绛Thesmallerthe"degreeoftranslation",the"closer"thetranslationmaybetotheoriginalinaliteralsense.“畅达的译文未必信〞而“词不达意的译文必定不信。〞03TranslationTheory

②一仆二主〔theservantoftwomasters〕

一个洋主子是原文作品，原文的一句句、一字字都要求依顺，不容违拗，也不得敷衍了事。另一主子就是译本的本国读者。他们既要求看到原作的本来面貌，却又得依顺他们的语文习惯。我作为译者，对‘洋主子’尽责，只是为了对本国读者尽忠。——杨绛Ex:《小癞子》原名《托美斯河的小拉撒路》〔LaVidadeLazarillodeTormes〕PARTTHREETranslationMethod0404TranslationMethod

Selectthemostappropriateword选择最适当的字英国某首相夫人告诉一位法国朋友：“我丈夫带了好多文件开内阁会议去了。〞可是她的法文却说成：“我丈夫带了好多手纸上厕所去了。〞Thereisoftenadangerofmisusingwordsthatareliterallythesamebuthavedifferentmeaningswhentranslatingtextsfromthesamelanguagefamily.04TranslationMethod

Annotation注释Thecustomsandtraditionsofdifferenttimesandplacesvary,andthetranslatorneedstomakenotesforthebenefitofhisorherreaders.《小癞子》里的小癞子自称“托美思河上的小癞子〞。他说只因为他是在托美思河上的磨房里出生的，所以他名正言顺地是托美思河上的小癞子。“河上〞的“上〞字，原文是“en〞，只能译“河上〞或“河中〞、“河里〞，不能译作“河边〞。04TranslationMethod

Idiom成语Therearesomefour-charactersentencescommonlyusedinChinese,suchas“风和日暖〞and“理直气壮〞ThesewordsarefixedinnatureandoftenonlyhalfofthemareapplicablewhentranslatingWesterntexts.“我国常用语是‘理直气壮’，而原文却是‘理直义正’。我用了这四字又嫌生硬，改为‘符合正义公正’。〞
