第10章汉译英常见错误例析,造成汉译英常见错误的原因错综复杂，但究其原因主要有两个：一是运用英语知识的实践能力差，尽管道理和规则记得很熟，但由于练习较少，动笔时就容易出错；二是受汉语的影响，常见的错误往往是用英语套用汉语的表达方式、习惯说法和思维模式等。1.生搬硬套型错误这类错误就是把汉语的句子意思逐词照搬地直译成英语。,例1欢迎你参加英语角活动。误：Welcome you to join our English corner activities！正：You are welcome to join our English Corner!or:Welcome to join our English Corner!热烈欢迎国内外嘉宾参加贸易洽谈会。误：Warmly welcome all guests of honor at home and abroad to attend to this symposium!正：Warm welcome to all honored guests both at home and abroad to attend the Trade Talks!,例2不要搞一刀切。误:Do not cut off at one stroke.正:Do not impose uniformity in all cases.原文是带有汉语特色的比喻说法，意为“不可不顾实际情况，用一种方法处理一切问题”。例3这么好的天，你为什么要呆在家里？Why are you at home in such a fine day?Why are you at home in such a fine weather？,下岗职工off-duty workerslaid-off workers三好学生a three good studentan all-round student本店10点后关门。The shop is close after 10 oclock.The office is open until 10 oclock.,2.逻辑型错误在用英语表达汉语原文的意思时，时间的先后，执行者与承受者之间的关系，非谓语动词的逻辑主语与主句的主语，代替词和名词的性与数的一致等等都存在着逻辑问题。许多汉译英的错误都属于逻辑型错误。,1)时间的先与后不合乎逻辑例1对不起，我没有看见你。误：Sorry I dont see you.正：Sorry I didnt see you.例2我不知道你在这儿。误：I dont know you are here.正：I didnt know you are here.,2)不定式的逻辑主语问题虽然不定式没有语法上的主语，但有逻辑主语。不定式的逻辑主语与句子的主语要一致。不定式的语态与逻辑主语有关。逻辑主语是行为的执行者，要用主动不定式；若逻辑主语是行为的承受者，要用被动不定式to be done.,例1.为了在科研中取得成功，需要坚持不懈。误：To succeed in a scientific research,persistence is needed.正：To succeed in a scientific research,one needs to be persistent.说明：原译中不定式的逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致，改译后句子用主动语态，增补one做主语。,例2这本书需要翻译成英语。误：The book is required to put into English.正：The book is required to be put into English.例3他挨了批评真是遗憾。误：It is a pity for him to have criticized.正：It is a pity for him to be criticized.在例2、例3中，不定式的逻辑主语是行为的承受者，故要改用被动不定式。,3)分词的逻辑主语问题分词的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语相一致，否则便成为垂悬分词，属于语病。例1.看着窗外，他想起了自己的童年。误：Looking out of the window,thoughts of his childhood came to him.正：Looking out of the window,he thought of his childhood.,例2从山顶上看下去，这座城市就像个漂亮的花园。误：Seeing from the top of the hill,the city looks like a beautiful garden.正：Seen from the top of the hill,the city looks like a beautiful garden.例3老虎在笼子里，因而我不怕。误：Being in a cage,I was not afraid of it.正：The tiger being in a cage,I was not afraid of it.,4)动名词的逻辑主语问题动名词的逻辑主语若与主句的主语不一致，也属于语病。例1在挤公共车时，我的钱包丢了。误：On squeezing on to the bus,my wallet was lost.正：On squeezing on to the bus,I lost my wallet.例2未接到邀请他就参加了晚会。误：He attended the party without inviting.正：He attended the party without being invited.,5)不合乎逻辑的比较不合乎逻辑的比较指在译成英语的句子中形成了非等同物之间的比较。,例1你们班的女生比我们班的更活跃。误：The girls in your class are more active than our class.正：The girls in your class are more active than those in our class.说明：若不加those,就变成了 girls和 our class比较。例2这里的气候像北京。误：The climate here is like Beijing.正：The climate here is like that of Beijing.说明：若不加 that,就变成了 climate和 Beijing比较。,2005年的数字要比2002年的大。The number in 2005 is more than 2002.The number in 2005 is larger than that in 2002.误将“数字”与“2002年”进行比较，而二者没有可比性，只有将后者改为“2002年的数字”才符合逻辑，很显然，这个错误是受了汉语表达习惯的影响。,3.语法型错误语法规律是汉译英必备的基本要素。汉译英中所谓的大错，多半是指语法错误。常见的有：名词单复数变化错误；冠词、介词错用漏用；比较级、最高级错用或不一致；主谓关系不一致；主从关系混乱；虚拟语气表达错误等等。,例1他本来想要多给你一点帮助的，只是他太忙了。误：He wanted to give you more help,but he has been so busy recently.正：He would have given you more help,but he has been so busy recently.说明：根据原文的含义，前半句应译为虚拟语气，后半句译为一般陈述句。,例2他们刚要走过街角就听到了枪声。误：They were just turning the corner,when they heard the noise of a shot.正：Just as they were turning the corner,they heard the noise of a shot.说明：句子要表达的主要信息是“听到枪声”，应放在复合句的主句中。,介词搭配的一致：We have great faith and high hopes for her.We have great faith in and high hopes for her.The real reason of this change is various.The real reason for this change is various.reason不与to搭配而应接介词for.,代词的一致那些要参加考试的人请把名字写在这张纸上。Those who wish to take exam are expected to sign his name on this sheet of paper.Those who wish to take exam are expected to sign their names on this sheet of paper.我们不能随地吐痰。We must not spit everywhere.We must not spit anywhere.,4.语义结构型错误由于容易受到汉语字面说法的干扰，汉译英时要特别重视语义结构（也可称为词语搭配）。有时汉语同一个词要译成英语不同的词语，而有时汉语不同的词语要译成英语的同一个词语。比如“遇见”有时译成meet，“迎接”有时译成meet，“满足”有时也译成meet，“应付”有时也译成meet，等等。,再如汉语“看”根据其后不同的宾语可能要译成：see，look，view，watch，look after，take care of，reckon，consider，think，go to，observe，call on，visit，depend on，mind，treat，perceive，tell，notice，read等等。若语义结构（或词语搭配）不当，就会造成误译。,例1我能看出你的心事。误：I can see your mind.正：I can read your mind.例2从他的话音里，我能听出东西来。误：I can hear something from the tone of his voice.正：I can tell something from the tone of his voice.,例3这个故事发生在上海。误：The story takes place in Shanghai.正：The story is set in Shanghai.主语story和谓语take place不搭配。例410:30的时候，街上来往的车辆稀少了。误：The time was 10:30,and traffic on the street was few.正：The time was 10:30,and traffic on the street was light.,同义反复Return back-returnRepeat
