翻译复习攻略

1、第一章知识要点：翻译：是一种语言转换活动刘宓庆在现代翻译理论中将“语际意义”概括为六种：概念（主题）意义、语境意 义、形式意义、形象意义、文化意义。美国翻译理论学家奈达将翻译的意义概括成：语义和问题。 “translating 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. ”翻译的定义：翻译是把一种语言表

2、达的意义用另一种语言传达出来，以达到沟通思想情 感、传播文化知识、促进社会文明，特别是推动译语文化兴旺昌盛的目的。翻译的分类：首先：就涉及的语言而论，翻译大体上分为：一：语内翻译，是指同一语 言的各个语言变体之间的翻译；二：语际翻译，指不同语言之间的翻译。第二，就其活动方式而言，分为：口译和笔译。口译就是“口头翻译”， 基本方式分两种：连续传译，又称即席翻译，发言人讲完部分或全部内容 之后，由口译人员进行翻译；二是同声传译，口译员利用专门设备，边听 边译。笔译就是笔头翻译。第三，就翻译材料的文体而言，可分为应用文体、科技文体、论述文体、 新闻文体、艺术文体。第四，就处理方式而言，翻译可以分为全

3、译、节译、摘译、编译和译术。英国翻译家、学者乔治坎贝尔率先提出了翻译三原则：首先，准确地再现原作的意思； 第二，在符合译作语言特征的前提下，尽可能地一直坐着的精神和风格；第三，也是最 后，使译作至少具有原创作品的特性，显得流畅自然。英国翻译家泰特勒：一，译作应该完全复写出原作的思想；二，译作的风格和手法应该 和原作属于同一性质；三，译作应该具备原创作品的通常。中国：释道安“案本”；严复“求信”；傅雷“神似”；钱钟书“化境”。忠实：首先指要忠实于原作的思想内容，作品中叙述的事实、说明的事理、描写的景物、 作者的立场观点和思想情感；保持原作风格，包括民族风格、时代风格、语体风格、个 人语言风格；通

4、顺：译文语言必须通顺易懂，合乎规范。翻译人员的业务素质要求：坚实的英语基础，很强的阅读理解能力和鉴赏能力坚实的汉语基础，提高汉语表达能力广阔的知识面合理的翻译策略养成认真负责、谦虚谨慎的学风the commuter dies with trememdous mileage to his credit.上班族一生中有着惊人的行程。I was with my father on a business-and-pleasure trip我和父亲一起出来，既是出差，也是游 玩。size don matter, chopping wood 个头没啥关系，劈柴嘛from there I could the

24、引进，异化法逐渐成为主要翻译方法。三：翻译应遵循的原则：异化、归化并用互补，异化为主，归化为辅，异化和归化的运用要注意限度。在可能的情况下，尽量实行异化译法；如果异化译法 不能完全达意，或者不能完全通畅，则可考虑汉语的行文习惯， 做出一定的归化处理；如果异化译法彻底行不通，译者也不必勉 为其难，舍其表层形式，传达其深层含义。四：注意异化法运用的限度：一是译语语言文化的限度，二是译语读者接受能力的限度对于原文的形象语言，有两种情况可以采取归化译法：一是原文的语言虽然形象，甚 至也很新鲜，但却无法“照实”传译出来；二是原文的形象语言已不再新鲜，用不着“照实”传译。汉语成语的运用：我们在翻译外国作品

32、re in one sense as much above my notice as in every other he is below it. (J.Austen: Emma, Ch.4, V.I)自耕农正是我认为和我无关的那种人。一个地位低一二等但外貌看起来还可靠的人可能引 起我的兴趣；我希望能在某些方面帮得上忙。但一个庄稼汉可能不需要我的帮助，所以从 这个意义上说，他一方面不需要我的关心，另一方面也不值得我关心。High buildings and large mansions are springing up like mushrooms in Beijing.在北京，高楼大厦犹如雨
