4、么样？前半句的shall换用may后，意思变成了当事人可以通过协凋解决，缺乏法律文件的严谨性。但后半句的may换用shall后，变成了应当诉公解决，好象一出事，就要打官司，这就有些不友好了。再者，副词hereto也无实际意义。不同文体的翻译方法和技巧法律文件的翻译例2：If the insured property enumerated in the Schedule is more than one item, the provision of this clauses shall apply to each thereof.译文：如本保险所载项目不止一项时，赔款按本规定逐项计算。解析：使用

9、某种意义上讲，文学翻译难度最大。文学翻译的要点是译出文体色彩和感情色彩，很多时候需要灵活和变通。 文学有小说、诗歌、戏剧和散文等形式。翻译文学作品，就要研究各种文学体裁的具体语言特点，从而确保译文的准确与风格。 不同文体的翻译方法和技巧文学的翻译例 1: 沿着荷塘，是一条曲折的小煤屑路。这是一条幽僻的路；白天也少人走，夜晚更加寂寞。荷塘四面，长着许多树，蓊蓊郁郁的。路的一旁，是些杨柳，和一些不知道名字的树。没有月亮的晚上，这路上阴森森的，有些怕人。今晚却很好，虽然月光也还是淡淡的。曲曲折折的荷塘上面，弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高，像亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间，零星地点缀着些白花，有袅娜

10、地开着的，有羞涩地打着朵儿的；正如一粒粒的明珠，又如碧天里的星星。微风过处，送来缕缕清香，仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的颤动，像闪电般，霎时传过荷塘的那边去了。不同文体的翻译方法和技巧文学的翻译译文： A path paved with coaldust zigzags along the lotus pond, so secluded as to be little frequented in the daytime, to say nothing of its loneliness at night.

But on this particular evening, it has a cheerful look, though the moon was still pale. On the uneven surface of the

There was a tremor on leaf and flower, which, with the suddenness of lighting, soon drifted to the far end of the pond.不同文体的翻译方法和技巧解析：朱自清的散文荷塘月色

14、优美动人，满篇皆让人感到作者笔下轻灵的气氛，无尽的月色与作者的内心融合得天衣无缝。而译文在描写荷花这部分景色的时候，使用了大量的修饰词语，恰当地表现出了其特点。荷花部分的译文则不同，如：all interlaced and shooting high above the water like the skirts of slim dancing girls，some blooming gracefully; others, as if bashfully, still in bud。荷花的淡雅与轻盈以及带给人的愉悦形成了绝妙的对照。也充分传达了文章的内在感情色彩。 文学的翻译 回目录不同文体的

17、的翻译方法和技巧文学的翻译 回目录解析：从中国古典诗词中的翻译中，无疑可以看到语言文化的强烈的不对等性。如诗词固有的曲牌，限定了诗的格式与韵律，寥寥数语，而内涵无限。虽然译文有了新的韵脚，但原有的格律和韵味在译文中完全消失了。又如原文中提到的“鲛绡”，华美织物的质地引人联想，更易于体验作品的感情与色彩。而译文就只有kerchief了。又如三个“莫”字，如此强烈，如此无奈，如此动人心魄，又岂是no所能够表达出来的呢！但除了这些无可改变的遗憾外，译文还是较为完整地体现了原诗的精髓。如Spring paints the willows green与palace walls cant confine恰

18、当地描绘了生机盎然的春意。而紧接其后的East wind unfair与Happy times rare两句，又巧妙地点出了作者的愁绪。 不同文体的翻译方法和技巧例3: Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. 2.

46、可谓无所不包。这就决定了旅游材料的特点：涉及知识面广，题材多样化。旅游材料经常要向外国游客介绍中国的风景名胜，而其中蕴涵着浓厚的中国传统文化。有些东西在中国可能是妇孺皆知，所以中文中没有过多的解释。而译成英文时，就要添加一些解释，才能够使外国游客理解文化的差异。 不同文体的翻译方法和技巧旅游材料的翻译 回目录例：路左有一巨石，石上原有苏东坡手书“云外流春”四个大字。 译文：To its left is another rock formerly engraved with four big Chinese characters “Yun Wai Liu Chun” (Beyond clouds
