Venuti to designate the type of translation in which a transparent,fluent style is adopted in order to minimize the strangeness of the foreign text for TL readers.(the predominant strategy in Anglo-American culture)在翻译中采用透明、流畅的风格，最大限度淡化原文陌生感的翻译策略。foreinizing translation(Minoritizing T),a term used by Venuti to designate the type of translation in which a TT is produced which deliberately breaks target conventions by retaining something of the foreignness of the original.在一定程度上保留原文的异域性,故意打破目标语言常规的翻译。奈达:最贴近的自然对等,译文读者从译文中所获得的感受应该尽可能接近于原文读者从原文中获得的感受;译者有责任帮译文读者将一些有可能难于理解的信息“改头换面”，从而使译文的阅读与理解轻松自如。-翻译研究词典Dictionary of Translation Studies直译(literal translation)a relative term,as for any SL there are many degrees of literalness and freedom of translation意译：free translation:a type of translation in which more attention is paid to producing a naturally reading TT than to preserving the SL wording intact,also known as sense-for-sense translation,谋事在人，成事在天。（曹雪芹）Man proposes,Heaven disposes,(Yang Xianyi)Man proposes,God disposes,(Hawkes),真是“天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福”。(曹：156)“Truly,Storms gather without warning in nature,and bad luck befalls men overnight.”(Yang:155)“I knowthe weather and human life are both unpredictable.”(Hawkes:231),汉语有许多比喻词汇，表面意义和喻指意义完全不同。英译时应跳出机械对应的思维定势，动态地译出潜在的意义。例：你怎么能够相信他呢?他是个墙头草，谁硬就跟谁。译文How can you trust him?Dont you know that he always sits on the fence and falls on the side of the stronger?例：他真是软棉花捏的，挨了骂都不敢还嘴。译文Hes wishy-washyHe dare not talk back when being cursed,例：我们取得了很大的成绩，但这并不意味着我们就可以从此吃老本而无需进取了。译文We have achieved a lot，but that doesnt mean we can therefore rest on our laurels without aiming high例：老师答应给这几个学生“吃小灶”。译文The teacher has promised to give these students special tuition,总结,词语的翻译不是简单地寻求对应，而是灵活地推测语境，正确地理解词义，寻求正确的表达。译者处理的是单个词或句子，面对的却是整个文化。王佐良策略的选择任务：词语翻译的积累：英语翻译基础阅读获取信息，翻译激活知识，写作提高才情。人生朝露，译业千秋。是故无贵无贱，无长无少，道之所存，师之所存也。,1

gulile”。但实际上最先引起广泛注意的是这个词的反义词“不给力”，意思是单调无趣的，这个词最早于五月份出现在一部汉语配音的日本动画片中。,Internet buzzword Geili,Shanghai Daily reported that a Chinese neologism,“geili,”which means,“cool,”“awesome”or“exciting,”had been granted the“official seal of approval”by appearing in The Peoples Daily the official paper of the Communist Party:“Geili”is created from two Chinese characters“gei”and“li.”Literally,it means“giving power,”but is now widely accepted as an adjective describing something thats“cool.”A test of a Chinese jargon words trendiness is if users translate it into a foreign language,according to its pronunciation.“Geili”has been transformed into the English-sounding“gelivable,”and“ungelivable,”and the French“trs gulile.”But it was the words antonym“bugeili”meaning dull or boring that first grabbed wider public attention after it appeared online in May in an episode of a Chinese-dubbed Japanese comic animation.SCHOTTS VOCAB，NewYork Times,Back-translation,A process in which a text which
