2、词义选择词义选择2. 词类转换词类转换3. 词的增补词的增补4. 词的省略词的省略5. 词的替代词的替代1.词义选择词义选择(1)语境词语境词汉语有些词语的含义会因语境而发生微妙的变词语的含义会因语境而发生微妙的变化化，称之为“语境词”，应紧 密结合上下文译成相应的词，不能按照原词的字面意思来译。原文：手机刷新了人与人的关系。译文：Cell phone have altered the relationship among people.分析：“刷新”此处实际是指“改变”，而并非是我们平常所指的含义，因此不宜译成refurbish或renovate，翻译为alter或 change更恰当。(2
3、) 表意模糊的词原文：这所全国重点大学为社会输送了大批的人才。译文：The national key university has prepared batches of qualified graduates for the society.分析：“输送输送”在句中是一个模糊笼统的词，具体说来是指“培养出”。“人才人才”笼统，译为qualified graduates比较确切。(3) 比喻词汇汉语有许多比喻词汇，表面意义和喻指含义完全不同，英译时应跳出机械对应的思维定式，动态地译出其潜在含义。原文：老师答应给这几个学生“吃小灶吃小灶”。 译文：The teacher has promised
4、 to give these students special tuition. 分析：“吃小灶”在这里指的是“个别辅导”。2.词类转换(1)动词动词名词名词 英语动词受到形态变化规则的严格限制，大量本应该由动词 表达的概念，常需借助于名词，因为名词不受形态规则的束 缚，使用相对灵活、方便。 原文：吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口赞不绝口。 译文：Youll be full of praise while eating the first two main courses. 分析：英语中有大量抽象名词表示行为或动作意义 advice,agreement,inheritance,knowledge,
5、praise,use等。 以上例句借助抽象名词表达了特定的行为动作，译文也 显得较为地道。(2)动词介介词 介词与名词密切相关，英语名词的广泛使用使得介词也频 繁出现，而且英语中有些介词本身就是由动词演变来的。 汉译英英时，有些，有些动词可以用介可以用介词来表达。来表达。 原文：人们常用用剪纸美化环境。 译文：People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings.(3)动词形容形容词 汉语的一些的一些动词常常用形容常常用形容词来表达来表达，这些形容词通常是 与动词同源的词（如dreamful,doubtful等），这样的译文有时会更地道、
6、标准。 原文：在明朝和清朝时期特特别流行流行。 译文：It was popular particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.(4) 形容词或副词形容词或副词名词名词 由于语法结构的修辞的需要，汉语的形容词和副词也可以汉语的形容词和副词也可以 转译成英语的名词。转译成英语的名词。 原文:.只有这些生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。 译文：.leaving these living things to enjoy this moment of dusk with full ease and freedom.(5) 名词名词动词动词 汉语的名词由英
7、语的动词表达汉语的名词由英语的动词表达，此时汉语中修饰名词的形 容词也随之改为英语中作状语使用的副词。 原文：大自然对人的恩赐，无论贫富，一律平等。 译文：People, poor or rich, are equally favoredequally favored by Nature.（3.词的增的增补(1)(1)语法需要语法需要由于汉英两种语言的差异，汉译英时往往需要补充汉语里省去的词语或没有的词类，使译文符合英语语法的要求。增补的词多为冠词（英语所特有）、代词或名词（充当句子的主语、宾语、定语等成分）、连词和介词等。原文：农业社会的人比工业社会的人享受差得多，因此欲望也小得多。译文：P
8、eople in the agriculture society enjoyed far less than people in the industry society, thus their desires are far less either.分析：英语中用的最多的介词有at, by , for, from, in, of, on, to和with九个。这些介词是连接英语句子的重要纽带，在英语中起着极其重要的作用。汉译英时，要根据上下文搭配灵活地选择介词。(2)(2)意思表达需要意思表达需要原文：这是黄河滩上的一幕。译文：This is a scene taking place on
9、the shore of the Yellow River.分析：增译taking place 短语，使译文更为生动贴切。(3)(3)文化背景解释的需要文化背景解释的需要中西文化差异的存在使得英语和汉语包含着许多文化色彩浓厚且不易为译文读者所理解的词语。在翻译过程中需要使用增词译法把相关文化背景知识翻译出来。原文：三个臭皮匠，胜过诸葛亮。译文：The wit of three cobblers combined surpasses that of Zhuge Liang, the master mind.4.词的省略的省略把原文中一些仅为语法需要而存在的词、词组加以适仅为语法需要而存在的词、词
10、组加以适当省略当省略，达到译文通顺、 意思完整、句子精练的目的。原文：于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头。译文：Then happiness turns to anger, praise to scolding and nit-piking, and head-nodding to head-shaking.(删除重复的谓语动词)5.词的代替的代替汉译英时可用替代的方法来避免重复，英语中主要有三种替代现象：名词成分替代、谓语成分替代和。 (1) 名词成分替代名词成分替代 用代词替代重复出现的名词 原文：有水有鱼的地方大都是有好环境好环境的，好环境好环境便会给人好心情。 译文：A pl
11、ace with water and fish is necessarily blessed with a nice setting, which in return keeps people in good mood. 用名词性替代词替代重复出现的名词用名词性替代词替代重复出现的名词 原文：你最喜欢哪个男孩？ 最高的那个男孩。 译文：-Which boy do you like best? -The tallest one. 同义词替代同义词替代 同义词替代指用不同名词来表示同一个人或事物，常是概括词（generic term）和下属词（specific word）之间的替换。如用the f
12、urniture 替代table， 用vehicle 替代car，用the animal 替代horse 等，以免重复。以免重复。原文：另外一种方法是化学方法。译文：Another method is the chemical approach. (2) 谓语成分替代谓语成分替代 可用于代替重复出现的动词，或整个谓语部分代替重复出现的动词，或整个谓语部分。原文：我不愿为占用你的时间而道歉，我占用你的时间是有道理的。译文：I will not apologize for trespassing on your time. I have a good reason for doing so/tha
13、t. 原文：他说他很勤奋，他确实很勤奋。译文：You say he is diligent, so he is. 原文：成绩有两重性，错误也有两重性。译文：Achievement has a dual character, and so do mistakes. （3）分句替代）分句替代 用替代词so/ not 来替代充当宾语的来替代充当宾语的that 从句从句；用 if so 或或if not 替代条件状语从句替代条件状语从句；用用so 代替整个从句。代替整个从句。 原文；明天会下雨吗？ 我想不会/会下雨。 译文：-Will it rain tomorrow? -I guess not/so
14、. 原文：你会来出席会议吗？假如不出席会议，请及早 通知我们。 译文：Will you come to attend the meeting? If not, please notice us as soon as possible.

15、定主语原文：这个地区雨水较多。译文1：It rains a lot in this area.译文2：This area sees much rain.译文3：There is much rain in this area.分析：汉语主主语的角度的角度变化很少，而英化很少，而英语则变化化较多多。例题原文的主语只能由“这个地区”担当，但在译成英语时就有了多种选择。同时还可以使用There be 结构和It 作主语。(2)确定确定谓语原文：当他们活着一天，总要尽量多工作、多学习，不肯虚度年华，不让时间白白地浪费掉。译文：As long as they are alive, they always
16、work and study as hard as possible, unwilling to dream their life away, let alone waste even a single moment of their lives.分析：汉语谓语动词时态、情态及语态是隐性的，英译文中应变为显形，译文文补充出充出汉语中中隐藏的藏的时态。（1）定语的位置 汉语的定语通常在修饰词之前；英语的定语位置分两种：前前置和后置置和后置。单词充当定语通常放在被修饰的中心词前；而短语和从句作定语则多置于所修饰的中心语之后。原文：钓鱼是一项能够陶冶性情的运动，有益于身心健康。译文：Fishing

18、原文：我吃了晚饭后出去散步。 译文：I went out for a walk after I had my dinner. / After I had my dinner, I went out for a walk. 分析: 汉语按事情发生先后叙述，而英语中时间状语从句可可 在主句前，也可在主句后在主句前，也可在主句后。原文：他本来在天津开会，会议一结束，他就上北京去度假了，昨天才坐飞机回来。译文：He had flown yesterday from Beijing where he spent his vacation after finishing the meeting he ha
19、d taken part in Tianjin. 分析：多个时间状语出现时，汉语汉语按按时间时间先后先后顺顺序排列序排列，而英英语语中状中状语语的的顺顺序序则则比比较较灵活灵活。原文：他是1970 年5月20日在北京朝阳区出生的。译文：He was born in Chaoyang District of Beijing on May 20, 1970. 分析：汉语中时间状语在地点状语之前，时间状语与地点状语按从大到小的顺序排列，而英语中地点状地点状语语在在时间时间状状语语之前之前，时间时间状状语语与地点状与地点状语语按从小到大的按从小到大的顺顺序排列。序排列。3. 正反转换正反转换人们在叙述
20、同一事物或表达同一思想时，可以正说，也可以反说，汉语如此，英语也如此。例如：他是外乡人。他不是本地人。通常情况下，汉译英采用对应译法，即正说正译，反说反译。原文：花在许多人家里开放着。译文：In many little gardens flowers were in bloom。原文：黄鼠狼给鸡拜年，不怀好心。译文：The weasel goes to pay respects to the hen without the best of intentions. 但是由于汉英两种语言表达习惯不同，在很多情况下会出现正说反译，反说正译的情况。(1)正说反译正说反译原文：我完全同意。译文：I ca
21、nt agree with you more.原文：你们大错特错了。译文：You couldnt be more mistaken.原文：他为这件事竭尽全力竭尽全力。 译文： He spared no pains/efforts in doing this.(2)反说正译反说正译在汉译英中，反说正译的情况非常普遍，这是由于英语在汉译英中，反说正译的情况非常普遍，这是由于英语中有大量中有大量表达否定意义的词汇表达否定意义的词汇可以替代汉语的否定表达。可以替代汉语的否定表达。名词：名词： absence, failure, refusal, ignorance, neglect, exclusio
