1、A Course of E-C and C-E Translation,1,2,Contents,直译和意译,1,6,7,2,3,直译与意译 Literal Translation and Free Translation,4,Everybodys business is nobodys business.,三个和尚没水吃.,5,Literal translation,Literal translation,also called word-for-word translation,is ideally the segmentation of the source language text

2、into individual words and target language rendering of those word-segments one at a time.This ideal is often literally impossible.,6,Literal translation,For example,an inflected word in an agglutinative source language can almost never be replaced with a single word in an isolative target language,a

3、nd,even when literally possible,the result is often unreadable.,7,Literal translation,Hence most so-called literal translations are in fact compromises with the ideal:looser renditions that replace individual source language words with individual target language words wherever possible,and cling as

4、closely as possible to the source language word order in the target language(Baker 2001:125).,8,Free translation,Free translation,also known as sense-for-sense translation,emphasizes transfer of the meaning or spirit of a source text over accurate reproduction of the original wording.,9,Free transla

5、tion,The purpose of sense-for-sense translation is to accommodate the needs of the target language reader by producing a text which conforms to the linguistic and textual norms of the target language and culture and which does not therefore sound foreign(Shirttleworth&Cowie 1997:151).,10,Summary,By

6、the 1980s,Chinese scholars seem to have reached a general consensus which favors literal translation wherever possible and free translation whenever literal translation is not a good choice.Translation practice has proven that literal translation and free translation are not contradictory but comple

7、mentary.,11,直译法：把忠实于原文的内容放在第一位，把忠实于原文的形式放在第二位，把通顺的译文形式放在第三位。,12,意译法：把忠实于原文的内容放在第一位，把通顺的译文形式放在第二位，不拘泥于原文的形式。,13,硬译法：如果不忠实于原文的内容，只忠实于原文的形式，那就不是直译，而是硬译，如鲁迅批评过的把 the milky way(天河，银河)译成“牛奶路”。,14,滥译法：如果不忠实于原文的内容，只追求通顺的译文形式，那也不是意译，而是滥译，如把rub ones hands“搓自己的双手”译成“摩拳擦掌。滥译是翻译中的自由主义。,15,无论直译、意译，都要符合“忠实、通顺”的标准(

8、许渊冲1984:5)当译文的形式和原文的形式一致的时候,就无所谓直译、意译。如把Disasters never come single 译成“祸不单行”，内容和形式都忠实于原文，既可以说是直译,也可以说是意译。当译文的形式和原文的形式不一致的时候，就有直译或意译的问题，而且直译可以有程度不同的直译，意译也可以有程度不同的意译，如：,16,He had about as much chance of getting a job as of being chosen mayor of Chicago.(J.London)(1)他找到工作的机会和当选芝加哥市长的机会几乎差不多。（直译的程度最大）(2

9、)他要找到工作简直跟要当选芝加哥市长同样困难。（直译的程度减少，意译的程度增加）(3)他找到工作的机会简直微乎其微。(意译的程度最大）,17,To sum up,所谓直译，就是既保持原文内容、又保持原文形式的翻译方法或翻译文字。译文的语言（或目的语）与原文的语言(或始发语）常常用相同的表达形式来体现同样的内容，并能产生同样的效果。在这种情况下，我们就采用直译。,18,所谓意译，就是只保持原文内容、不保持原文形式的翻译方法或翻译文字。译文的语言(或目的语)与原文的语言(或始发语)在许多情况下并不用同样的表达形式来体现同样的内容，更谈不上产生同样的效果。在这种情况一般采用意译为好。,19,直译与意

25、静夜思（李白）床前明月光，疑是地上霜。举头望明月，低头思故乡。,44,直译：In the still of the nightI descry bright moonlight in front of my bed.I suspect it to be hoary frost on the floor.I watch the bright moon,as I tilt back my head.I yearn,while stooping,for my homeland more.(徐忠杰）译,45,死译：Quiet Night ThoughtBedside bright moonlightI

27、y heart aches for home.（翁显良译）,47,（上面一共有3种译文，其中第二种译文过于机械死板，完全按照原文的字面一字一字地硬译，而第三种译文完全不顾原文的形式，故意把这首诗译成了散文形式。虽信不达,其忠实程度远不及第一首既信又达的直译。）,48,4)革命是解放生产力，改革也是解放生产力。直译；Revolution emancipates productive forces,so does reform.意译：Revolution means the emancipation of the productive forces,and so does reform。(上面的直

28、译是形似而神不似，而上面的意译是形不似却神似，而且是地道的英语，是一个优于直译的译文。）,49,一般说来，可以直译的成分可以意译，可以意译的成分也可以直译，但在特定的上下文中，直译与意译之间总会有一个优劣问题。译者往往可通过比较在两者中挑选比较合适的一个，但是，由于文化对语言的影响，有些语言成分只能意译，而不能直译，这主要体现在受本国文化影响最深的成语和谚语上面。在这种情况下，按字面意义翻译的就不再是直译，而是死译。请看下面的例子。,50,1)hand in glove with意译：和一狼狈为奸（死译：戴着手套和一合作)2)once in a blue moon意译：千载难逢(死译：一个蓝色

29、月亮里的一次）,51,3)乱七八糟意译：at sixes and sevens(死译：seven disorders and eight chaos),52,4)招风惹草意译：look for trouble(死译：invite wind to exasperate the grass),53,5)It is a long lane that has no turning.意译：路必有弯；事情必有转机。(常用于安慰灰心丧气的人等场合。(死译：没有转弯的小巷的确是一条很长的小巷。),54,6)It is an ill bird that fouls its own nest.意译：家丑不可外扬,

30、，(死译：弄脏自己巢的鸟的确是一只坏鸟。）7)表壮不如里壮 红楼梦，第六十八回意译：A sound wife counts for more than a sound husband.(死译：The external strength is not so much as the internal strength.),55,外甥打灯笼照舅（旧）意译：act according to the old ways(死泽：The nephew carrying a lantern showing the way for his uncle(doing things in the old fashion

31、),56,直译与意译是翻译中一个非常基础的理论问题，也是各种翻译方法研究的出发点。一个篇章、一部作品的翻译一般都要涉及直译与意译，不同的篇章、不同的作品在直译与意译的程度上自然会有所不同。一般说来，法律文献、政治文献、学术文献、新闻报道要求有更多字面对应准确性很强的直译，而歌词、诗词、抒情散文、舞台或电影剧本、小说、传记则要求使用更多不求字面对应，只求可读性的意译,在翻译中能否恰如其分地把握好直译与意译的程度显示了 一个译者翻译水平的高低。提高这方面的水平需要不断的实践和不断的理论学习。,57,58,Foreignizing Translation(异化翻译）and Domesticating

32、 Translation(归化翻译),59,Foreignization,Foreignization is a strategy in which a target text is produced which deliberately breaks target conventions by retaining something of the foreignness of the original.,60,Foreignization,This method is an ethnodeviant pressure on target-language cultural values to

33、 register the linguistic and cultural difference of the foreign text,sending the reader abroad to have alien reading experience.,61,Foreignization,（异化译法是偏离民族主义的，对译入语文化价值施加压力，使其关注外语文本的语言和文化差异，把读者带入外国情景，体验外国人的阅读感受）。,62,Foreignization,换言之，异化译法要求译者向原文作者靠拢，采取原文作者使用的表达方式传达原文的内容，如把to kill two birds with on

34、e stone“一石两鸟”，把all roads lead to Rome译为“条条大路通罗马“,63,Foreignization,Such a strategy would entail not only a freedom from absolute obedience to target linguistic and textual constraints,but also where appropriate the selection of non-fluent,opaque style and the deliberate inclusion of source language

35、REALIA示教实物 or target language ARCHAISMS(Shuttleworth&Cowie 1997:59).,64,Domestication,Domestication is a strategy in which a transparent,fluent style is adopted in order to minimize the strangeness of the foreign text for target language readers.,65,This method is an ethnocentric reduction of the fo

36、reign text to target-language cultural values,bringing the author back home,66,归化译法采取民族中心主义的态度，使外语文本符合译入语的文化价值观，把原作者带入译入语文化.换言之，归化译法要求译者向译文读者靠拢，采取译文读者习惯的译语表达方式传达原文的内容。,67,如把kill two birds with one stone译为一箭双雕、一举两得，把grow like mushrooms译为雨后春笋，把All roads lead to Rome译为殊途同归等都是归化译法。,68,翻译中归化和异化不仅是不矛盾的，而且

37、是互为补充的。文化移植需要多种方法和模式。应用翻译的目的论理论skopos theory，对翻译中涉及的各种因素作综合的分析，译者既可采用归化的原则和方法，也可采用异化的原则和方法。,69,至于在译文中必须保留哪些源语文化，怎样保留，哪些源语文化的因素又必须作出调整以适应目的语文化，都可在对作者意图、翻译目的、文本类型和读者对象等因素分析的基础上作出选择。对译者来说，重要的是在翻译过程中要有深刻的文化意识，即意识到两种文化的异同。,70,必须指出两点。一是不论在当代或在历史上，以目的语文化为归宿的原则似乎是占了上风。这是因为评论家和出版商往往更注重译作的可读性，一般的读者也喜欢通顺易懂的译文，

38、而且，这一倾向也正好与翻译研究发展的趋向相一致。,71,二是随着两种文化接触的日益频繁，以源语文化为归宿的原则将越来越有可能广泛地被运用，最终可能会占上风。但不管怎么发展，归化和异化将永远同时并存，缺一就不成其为翻译。,72,Some useful tips,Translation is a continual tug-of-war between faithfulness and smoothness,literalism and liberalism,foreignization and translationese,loyalty to the author and appeal for

39、 the reader.,73,All translation is a compromise the effort to be literal and the effort to be idiomatic(Benjamin Jowett)A translator has divided loyalties.He has a duty to his author,a duty to his reader and a duty to the text.The three are by no means identical and are often hard to reconcile(David

40、 Havvkes).,74,翻译要防止两种倾向：自由主义一大手大脚，自由发挥形式主义一束手束脚，拘泥宇面,75,Translation strategy has much to do with the style of the source text.The following is the table of Degression of Formal Equivalence.1998:28):,76,77,An apple does not fall far from the apple tree.,落叶归根,78,二.正确处理直译与意译的关系,直译与意译这两种方法并无优劣之分，也并非是对立的

41、，而是相辅相成的，关键在于如何正确使用他们。如：1.When I want your opinion,Ill ask for it.当我需要你的意见时，我会问你的。请不要插嘴。2.You are late for the last time.这是你最后一次迟到了。你被解雇了。,3.Dont cross the bridge till you get to it.到了桥边才过桥。不必担心太早。4.Little fish does not eat big fish.小鱼吃不了大鱼。胳膊拧不过大腿。5.What the tongue says,the neck pays for.舌头说话，脖子还帐。舌头闯祸，脖子遭殃。,6.What was hatched a hen must not try to be a rooster!孵出来是母鸡就别想冒充公鸡。生来是个女人就别想冒充男人。7.There s no pot so ugly it cant find a lid.没有丑到配不上一个盖子的罐子。罐儿再丑，配个盖子不发愁。姑娘再丑也能配个汉。丑女不愁嫁。,
