Discussion:l What is translation?l What is a successful translation?l What difficulties might occur in translating process?A. What is translation?1. Key words:source language(SL) / receptor language / target language(TL); reproduce; message / information; equivalence / correspondence 2. Nature of translation (Eugene A. Nida): Translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style.3. Classification of translation:a. Oral interpretation / written translationb. Human translation / machine translationc. Literary / scientific / political / commercial translationd. Domestication (naturalization) / foreignization (estrangement, alienation)e. Literal translation / free translationB. What is a successful translation?1. 严复：信、达、雅 (faithfulness, expressiveness, elegance)2. 傅雷：以效果而论，翻译应当象临画一样，所求的不在形似而在神似3. 钱钟书：诱、讹、化4. Eugene A. Nida: natural / close; dynamic/functional equivalenceC. What difficulties might occur in translating process?1. Language / Cultural BarriersTranslatability is lower when (1) the work to be translated is quite distant both in time and space; (2) its form is very much unique; (3) the content is not shared in the two cultures. Betrayal: Loss / Distortion2. Example analysis:a. 东边日出西边雨，道是无晴却有晴。b. 纵一苇之所如，凌万顷之茫然c. The whole sky spangled gay twinkling stars, and the Milky Way is as distinct as though it had been washed and rubbed with snow for holiday.整个天空点缀着繁星，快活地眨着眼。天河那么清楚地显现出来，就好像有人在过节以前用雪把它擦洗过似的。d. He made you a highway to my bed; But I, a maid, die maiden-widowed. Romeo and Juliet译文1：他要借你做牵引相思的桥梁 可是我却要做一个独守空闺的怨女而死去。译文2：他本要借你做捷径，登上我的床； 可怜我这处女，活守寡，到死是处女。3. In the long run there is a tendency: translation itself can convert intranslatability into translatability.e.g. crocodiles tears; science / democracyII. The Role of Translator:The craft of translator is deeply ambivalent; it is exercised in a radical tension between impulses to facsimile and impulses to appropriate recreation. George Steiner译者的技艺是一个深刻的矛盾体。这种技艺是在两种冲动的极度张力之间形成的：一方面是依样画葫芦的冲动，另一方面又有适当再创作的冲动。A. Metaphors for translator:1. A courier of the human spirits （普希金）2. A sculptor who tries to recreate a work of painting3. A straitjacketed dancer4. A musician / an actor5. Traduttori-traditori (Translators are traitors.)B. Responsibility of translator:1. Competent linguistic ability & bicultural knowledge2. Being as transparent as possible3. Being a good negotiatorIII. The Development of Translation in China:翻译史上的三个高峰期：1. 汉至唐宋佛经的转译：支谦；鸠摩罗什；道安；玄奘 2. 明清以后西欧科技文化的引进：徐光启；严复；林纾；（译才并世数严林康有为）3. 五四之后的现代阶段：郭沫若；鲁迅；瞿秋白；傅雷；钱钟书IV. Homework:People will be amazed by her stunning beauty at the first sight. Simple as she is, nature endows her with an inherent attractiveness, which is polished and brought out by sophisticated modern technology and superlative craftsmanship. In this way, innovation sustains the natures art of creation while ingenuity whets peoples desire. Reference translation:她的美，令人一见惊艳。她原本生来资质俏丽，再加上现代科技的修饰及极品手艺的打造。如此一来，她既有天生的美感，又有人工的魅惑。#Title of Lesson: Contrast between English and Chinese (1) Week 2 #Time Needed：Two periods（40 minutes per period）#Teaching objectives：1 Introduce to the students some basic differences between English and Chinese.2 Briefly analyze the influence of these differences on translating.#Key Teaching Points：The difference of language embodies the difference in thinking styles.#Difficult Teaching Points:The embodiment of different syntactic features in translating process#Teaching Contents:I.

Translate the following paragraph:It seemed a point scored for her side when Joanne, panicked that her father-in-law would bungle the turnoff for the Pulaski Skyway, shattered the tip of her cigarette against the back of the seat and a live ash fell on the babys belly. It went unnoticed for a second until Corinne screamed; then they all saw it, a little flea of fire glowing beside the perfect navel. Joanne jumped, and squealed with guilt, and flapped her hands and stamped her feet and hugged the baby against her, but the evidence could not be destroyed; a brown dot of char on the globe of immaculate skin. Corinne continued her screams, splicing them with shrill hard gasps of intake, while everyone rummaged through purses and pockets for Vaseline, butter, toothpaste anything for an urgent. Mother had a tiny bottle of toilet water given her in a department store; Joanne dabbed some of this on, and in time Corinne, shaken by more and more widely spaced spasms of sobbing, mercifully dragged her injury with her into the burrow of sleep.Reference version: 琼恩正以为自己领先了一分呢，忽然间她的公公在拐弯驶向普拉斯基公路时差一点要出车祸；她一惊之下，手里的烟头碰上车座靠背，发烫的烟灰（燃着的烟灰）落在了婴儿的肚子上。起初的一瞬间谁也没有注意，等到科琳大声哭了起来，大家这才看见有跳蚤那么大的一颗火星儿在那十全十美的肚脐边上闪着亮。琼恩弹（蹦）了起来，满怀罪恶感地尖叫着，又是拍手又是跺脚，把孩子紧紧搂在怀里。然而罪证是无法销毁的了，在白璧无瑕的滚圆的肚皮上，烫出了一粒棕色的圆点。科琳哭得死去活来，不时凄厉地倒抽一口气。这时大家翻钱包，摸衣兜，找凡士林，黄油，牙膏总之，能当药膏用的就行。母亲拿出一小瓶花露水，是一家百货公司的赠品；琼恩把它轻轻地抹在孩子的伤处上。渐渐地，科琳抽噎的间歇拉长了，又过了一阵，她总算饶了他们，带着伤进入了梦乡。#Title of Lesson: Transfer of Word Meaning Week 4 #Time Needed：Two periods（40 minutes per period）#Teaching Objectives：Acquaint the students with a general idea about how to transfer the wording meaning properly.#Key Teaching Points：1 Choice of word meaning.2 Commendatory sense and derogatory sense3 Amplification of word meaning#Difficult Teaching Points:1 Commendatory sense and derogatory sense2 Amplification of word meaning#Teaching Contents:I.
