Translation：Problems&Methods一书中说：Translation is not simply a matter of seeking other words with similar meaning,but of finding appropriate ways of saying things in another language.Translating is always meaning-based,i.e.it is the transfer of meaning instead of form from the source language to the target language.,翻译不只是在另一种语言中寻找意义相似的其他词语，而是寻找表达事物的适当方式。翻译始终立足于语义，也就是说，是语义从源语到译语的转换，而不是形式。,翻译不是一种语言中的词语和语句结构到另一种语言的词语和语句结构的简单转换，也不是在另一种语言中寻找与一种语言中对等的词语和语句结构然后将其串接成句的过程。在英汉翻译中，如果把眼光盯着原文的词语和语句结构这些属于语言层次的东西，结果翻译出来的只是一种文字层次的转换，徒具其形，原文的内容和意义不可能得到很好的表达。,这说明了翻译是语义的翻译，不是语言形式的翻译，是运用另一种语言的适当方式来表达一种语言所表达的内容，而不是在另一种语言中寻找与一种语言中含义相似的某些词语或结构。翻译必须跳出原文语言层面的束缚，必须着眼于传达原文的内容和意义。,换句话说，翻译的基本单位应该是语篇，而不是词语结构。根据系统功能语言学家的观点，语言的实际使用单位是语篇这样的言语单位，而不是词语结构这样的语法单位。实际使用的语篇有可能是一个句子、一个句段、一个句群，也有可能是一个词语。翻译作为语言交际的一种形式，其实质是用一种语言的语篇材料代替另一种语言与其意义对等的语篇材料。翻译是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的内容和意义准确而完整地重新表达出来的语言活动。,Examples,I can see three different types of composers in musical history,each of whom creates music in a somewhat different fashion.,译文1:我能看到音乐史上有三种不同的作曲家，他们中每一个人以某种不同的方式创作音乐。译文2:我发现音乐史上有三类作曲家，他们各自的音乐创作方式有所不同。,The traditionalist type of composer begins with a pattern rather than with a theme.The creative act with Palestrina is not the thematic conception so much as the personal treatment of a well-established pattern.,译文1:传统主义型作曲家始于某种格调而非某种主题。帕莱斯特里纳的创作行为不太像对固定格调进行个性化处理的主题概念。译文2:传统型作曲家是从形式出发而不是从主题出发进行创作的。帕莱斯特里纳的创作不是主题的构思，而是对固定形式的个性化处理。,Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are.,发现自我，如实地表现自我，你自然会为人们所喜欢为那些尊重你的真正个性的人们所喜欢。,Where do you expect Shanghai to be in five years?,你预计今后五年上海的发展目标如何？,Public opinion plays a vital and healthy role in the political realm.,译文1:公共舆论在政治领域起着生命力的、健康的作用。译文2:舆论在政治领域起着极其重要的、有益的作用。,什么是好的译文？,What is good translation?,翻译的两类问题：一类是译文语义基本符合原文，但汉语表达有欠正确；另一类是汉语表达尚有可读性，但译文语义不符原文。目前翻译界普遍接受的，也是作为一般翻译学习者必须努力掌握的标准，简而言之是两条：忠实(Faithfulness)和流畅(Smoothness)。,Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness and contentment.,译文1:职业和工作带来很大的幸福和满足，而我们大多数人并不意识到这一点。译文2:职业和工作对于获得幸福和满足起了很大的作用，我们大多数人对此却认识不足。,For Nat Nakasa the pledge he was required to sign-to leave his country and never return proved too much;he committed suicide in New York.,译文1：纳特.纳卡萨不得不发誓离开祖国，不管情况如何永不返家，并自杀于纽约。译文2：对纳特.纳卡萨来说，要他签字保证离开祖国永不返回是难以接受的：他在纽约自杀了。,In the wake of his mothers death some thirty-six years later,Hemingway turned back to the adventure and tried to write a novel about it.,译文1：在他母亲去世36年之后，海明威又想起了那次历险奇遇，并试图写一部小说。译文2：大约36年过后，在他母亲去世后的不久海明威又想起了那次遭遇的险情，并试图就此写一部小说。,外语腔是初学翻译者不知不觉地会在汉语译文中表现出来的一种不当倾向。翻译时所要表达的内容来自外语原文，原文的词语和结构形式随着内容一起进入到我们的大脑，于是原文的语言形式被带入译文，造成了译文的外语腔。,The only concession he made to the climate was to wear a white dinner jacket.,译文1：他对气候的唯一让步就是穿了一件白色的短餐衣。译文2：气候变化，他仅稍稍作了一点变通，赴宴时穿了件白色的短礼服。,If certain animal psychologists are right,a dog adopts his family in a most literal way-taking it for granted that the family is the band of dogs he belongs to.,译文1：假如某些动物心理学家的分析正确，狗在很大程度上代表着它的家人理所当然这一家也就属于狗帮了。,译文2：假如有些动物心理学家的分析正确，狗对于他所在家庭的认同是非常实际的它理所当然地认为这一家人就是它所归属的一群狗。,现代西方著名翻译理论家 Eugene A.Nida 在其理论著述中经常谈到读者反应的问题。他认为：翻译的服务对象是读者，要评判译文质量的优劣，必须看读者对译文的反应如何，同时必须把这种反应与原作读者对原文可能产生的反应进行对比，看两种反应是否基本一致。除了忠实和流畅这两项基本标准之外，好的译文还必须保持原文的风格，包括民族风格、时代风格、语体风格、作者个人的语言风格等。文艺作品的翻译尤其要求这样做。译者不能破坏或改变原文的风格，不能以译者的风格代替原作的风格。,不要把假大空语言翻译成英文,建筑工人们表示：一定要树雄心、立壮志，大干、苦干300天，力争在今年年底，完成高速公路的建设任务。,The
