翻译资格技巧和经验：英语中不“吃醋”

1、翻译资格技巧和经验：英语中不“吃醋” 英语中不“吃醋”该如何翻译呢?今天给大家带来了翻译资格技巧和经验，希望可以帮助到同学们。下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。翻译资格技巧和经验：英语中不“吃醋”原文：she spoke with a touch of vinegar.译文：她说话带着一点醋意。辨析：乍一看译文一点不错，还有点文采，但实际上却是错译。此句的关键在于vinegar的隐喻含义。vinegar是“醋”不错，但这两个中英文词只有在指那种带酸味的调料(即词的本义)时，意思才是一样的。“说话带点醋意”当然不指说话人嘴里真的带醋味儿，而是隐喻，表示妒忌(即隐含意义connotative mea

2、ning)。然而，英语中的vinegar的隐含意义不同于汉语“醋”的隐含意义，与嫉妒无关，而是表示“不高兴”或“尖酸刻薄”。因此，原句应译为：她说的有点刻薄。不过要注意：vinegar在美语中还有“精力充沛”的意思，如a kid full of vinegar是“一个活蹦乱跳的小伙子”。反过来，汉语的“吃醋”当然也不能译成eat/taste vinegar，而应是be jealous。有趣的是，英语文化中把“嫉妒”和jaundice(黄疸)连起来，说某人嫉妒是bejaundiced。顺便说一下，形容一个人言谈迂腐、说话酸溜溜的，英语是pedantic或priggish;a sour fello

3、w是“一个脾气乖张的人”;the sweet andsour of life则指“人生苦乐”。与之有关的颜色隐喻，英汉也不一样，汉语中嫉妒别人常说“得了红眼病”，而英语却说green-eyed。嫉妒被称为green-eyed monster;莎士比亚把“嫉妒”称为the green sickness。2020年catti 笔译二级精选词汇equality and mutual benefit 平等互利principle of equality and mutual benefit平等互利原则equal partnership 平等伙伴关系equal consultation 平等协商conce
