1、英汉翻译中的倒行逆施现象n n在将英语句子翻译成汉语句子的过程中,经常会碰到一些倒行逆施的现象,即不得不将原有的英语句子结构打乱再将其译成汉语,或者是根据其意义逆着或反着将其译成汉语的现象。其实,这是英汉翻译中所采用的一种逆向翻译法,它旨在使被翻译出来的汉语译文更加通顺、流畅,更加符合汉语的表达习惯。逆向翻译法主要有下列几种类型。 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧一、主宾换位译n n所谓主宾换位译是指在翻译时将英语句子中的主语和宾语换一下位置,使其主语译成汉语句子中的宾语,宾语或介词宾语译成汉语句子中的主语。能够换位译的英语句子虽然不是很多,它主要取决于英语句子中的谓语动词,如 fail,happen

2、,occur,desert,deny,appeal,come等,但由这些动词构成的句子却都是地地道道的英语常用句。例如: 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧n nHis heart failed him(他失去了勇气。) n nSuch a chance denied me(我没有得到这样一个机会。) n nIf anything should happen to the machine, please let us know(如果机器出了什么毛病,请通知我们。) n nAt the most crucial moment,his self-confidence deserted him(在最关键的时刻

3、,他失去了信心。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧n nThe word finally came to me(我终于记起了那个词。) n nGood works appeal to everyone(人人都喜爱好的作品。) n nSuddenly a good idea occurred to me(突然我想到了一个好主意。) n nSomething has gone wrong with the computer英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧二、前后反向译n n前后反向译这种方法主要用在before作连词引导的一些状语从句当中,或用在一些诸如It was not wont be long befor

4、e等固定句型当中。在这些句子中,为了使译文更符合汉语的表达习惯,有时往往不是将before译成在.之前,而是将其译成后,以后或在.之后。例如: n nLook before you leap(三思而后行。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧n nI knocked several times before an elderly lady answered the door(我敲了几次门以后一位老妇人才来开门。) n nNew ideas sometimes have to wait for years before they are fully accepted(有时候,新思想等待多年以后才能被人们完

5、全接受。) n nIt was not long before everyone came to like him(不久之后人人都开始喜欢起他来了。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧n nIt wont be long before we work out some plans to promote our sales(用不了多久以后我们就会拿出促销计划。) n nIt will be three years before we can meet againn nIt was almost two weeks before they tracked down the facts they neede

6、d(几乎两个星期之后他们才找到所需要的论据。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧三、正反对调译 n n正反对调译这种方法在英汉翻译中使用频率极高,它可以运用在词、短语或句子等各个层面的翻译中。它是指在英语中许多从正面表达的意义,在汉语译文中却要从反面来表达,而在英语中许多从反面表达的意义,汉语译文却又从正面来表达。即正的反着译,反的正着译。例如: 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧1英语从正面表达,汉语译文从反面表达n nHaste makes waste.n nAll good things must come to an end(天下没有不散的宴席。) n nHe knew he was mortally

7、ill(他知道自己得的是不治之症。) n nExcuse meIm at a loss in recalling your name(对不起,我想不起你的名字来。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧2英语从反面表达,汉语译文从正面表达n nHis story was nothing but lies(他的那番话纯粹是谎言。) n nOur advice was not lost on him(我们的劝告对他起了作用。) n nSuch things couldnt long escape notice. n nThe police were not going to lose sight of him

8、(警察将会继续监视他的行踪。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧四、正反对调译在固定句型中的应用 n n正反对调译这种翻译方法除了在词、短语或句子等中大量使用以外,还经常被使用在一些常用的固定句型当中。例如: n n1在notuntil句型中(从正面表达) n nWe did not notice this matter until yesterdayn nIt was not until the teacher came that we began the experiment(直到老师来了我们才开始做实验。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧n n2在It is has hadsince句型中(从反面表达

9、) n nIt is two months since Bill has smoked a cigar(比尔已经有两个月不吸烟了。) n nIt had been six or seven hours since I had had anything to eat and drink(我没吃没喝已经六、七个小时了。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧n n3在tooto句型中(从反面表达) n nThis book is too difficult for me to read(这本书太难,我看不懂。) n nInstances are too numerous to list(例子多得举不胜举。)

12、know better than to do句型中(从反面表达) n nYou should know better than to make noise while the others are sleeping(你应该知道在别人睡觉时吵闹是不对的。) n nHe ought to know better than to go swimming straight after a meal(他应该知道饭后直接去游泳是不好的。) 英语翻译技巧英语翻译技巧英语中一些容易误译的短语 英语中有些短语的字面意思与实际含义相差甚远,你知道如何翻译下面这些似是而非的短语吗?n n1.They often t
