7、t basic moves.- Would you like me to allow you a handicap? 此例中的“马走日”、“象走田”和“车马炮”为中国象棋术语,只好绕过原文的形式。 9Summary忠实原文是指译文与原文实质内容上的一致,而不是形式上的一致。译者由于对原文理解不深,不能透过原文的形式掌握其实质内容,仅见其形,未见其神,这样译出的文字形式上似乎与原文一致了,但与原文的意思却相去甚远。这便是犯了翻译上的形式主义翻译上的形式主义。但是灵活出了格,过分强调译文的流畅,而不受原文意思的约束,闹了独立性,在原文的思想内容之外随意添枝加叶,这种译法称之为自由主义。自由主义。

Nash春,甘美之春,一年之中的尧舜。 郭沫若原诗中的king是一般性说法,没有任何特殊的文化色彩,可是一旦变成了中国古代和平盛世代名词“尧舜”,就染上了强烈的汉民族色彩。Example14For instance: as white as snow 通常译为白如雪 /

16、995年由美国翻译理论家劳伦斯韦努蒂(Lawrence Venuti)在译者的隐形(The Translators Invisibility)一书中提出来的。 从历史上看,异化和归化可以视为直译和意译的概念延伸,但又不完全等同于直译和意译。 直译和意译所关注的核心问题是如何在语言层如何在语言层面处理形式和意义面处理形式和意义。 异化和归化则突破了语言因素的局限,将视野扩展到语言、文化和美学等因素语言、文化和美学等因素。202.5 TranslatabilityThere are over 3,000 languages in the world today, therefore, differ

21、ea?” asked the wife, who only vaguely caught the sound.“A committee! Lords and esquires are out of date, and the prevailing nomination is to a Committee. Dont you still understand?”用“common tea”与“committee”的发音相似来模仿原文中“桂圆” (longan)与“委员”的谐音,可谓巧译,两种语言能有音形意俱似的表达方式只是偶然,可遇而不可求。26 e.g.(4) Marriage is an in
