What Is Translation?Linguistic view on translation:Translation is “the replacement of textual material in one language (source language) by equivalent textual material in another language (target language). ” (Catford, 1965:20)Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source-language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style. (Nida & Taber 1969:12)所谓翻译,是指在译语中用最贴切而又自然的对等语再现原文的信息,一方面在语义上,另一方面在文体上。 (E. A 奈达, 1969)Communicative views on translation:This approach views translation as a communicative process which takes place within a social context. The translator attempts to produce the same effect on the target language readers as was produced by the original on the source language readers. (Newmark, 1982:22) 翻译是一种跨文化的信息交流与互换的活动,其本质是传播。 (吕俊,1997)【例】 She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and can do what she likes. She is really a lucky dog.她生长在富贵之家,凡事都可以随心所欲,真是个幸运儿。Every dog has its day. 人人皆有得意日 a lucky dog 幸运儿Love me, love my dog.爱屋及乌help a dog over a stilt助人度过难关 as faithful as a dog 形容人的忠诚 . Scope of Translation 1.按语言分类:语内翻译(intralingual translation)语际翻译(interlingual translation)2. 按活动形式分类:笔译(translation)口译(oral interpretation):交替传译(consecutive translation)和同声传译(simultaneous translation)3. 按翻译材料的文体分类:应用文体翻译 科技文体翻译论述文体翻译新闻文体翻译艺术文体翻译4. 按解决方式分类:全译 节译 编译. Translation Criteria 严复(1853-1921): Triple Principle of Translation 信 (faithfulness):忠实精确 达 (expressiveness):通顺流畅 雅 (elegance):文字古雅By faithfulness/accuracy, we mean being faithful not only to the original contents, to the original meaning and views, but also to the original form and style. By smoothness, we mean not only easy and readable rendering, but also idiomatic expression in the target language.Criteria in the West Alexander Fraser Tytler, (1747-1814)the famous English scholar proposed the three principles of translation:(1)A translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work. (译文应完全复写出原作的思想)(2)The style and manner of writing should be of the same character as that of the original. (译文的风格和笔调应与原文的性质相似)(3)A translation should have all the ease of the original composition. (译文应和原作同样流畅). Translation Strategies 1. Literal translation or free translation? In the practice of translation, we may find that now and then some words in their usual senses are very difficult to deal with because of the disparity between the English and the Chinese languages. In this case, we have to resort to some special means of translation. Literal translation and free translation are two alternative approaches to tackle this problem. 1)直译:在基本保持原文的语言形式(词语、句子构造、修辞手法等)的同步,完整而精确地把意思体现出来,且译文流利晓畅。直译是不同于硬译、死译的重要翻译措施之一。2)意译:为了完整而精确地把意思体现出来,抛弃原文的语言形式,按译入语的习惯重新遣词造句。意译是不同于乱译的重要翻译措施之一。无论直译、意译,都要符合“忠实、通顺”的原则(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。e.g. Disaster never come single. “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,并且直译可以有限度不同的直译,意译也可以有限度不同的意译。e.g. He had about as much chance of getting a job as of being chosen mayor of Chicago. 进入21世纪,麦当劳的反对团队由集合到一面共同的旗帜之下 反对全球化。Upon the entering of 21 century, the anti-Macdonalds groups have again rallied under a common banner of anti-globalization. (采用直译、生动形象,且意思完全可觉得英语读者接受)2. Foreignizing Translation(异化翻译) and Domesticating Translation(归化翻译) While literal translation and free transaltion mainly deal with linguistic reproduction, foreignizing translation and domesticating translation are concerned more with cultural, linguistic and aesthetic considerations. 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. 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别,把读者带入外国情景,体验外国人的阅读感受(Venuti 1995:20)。换言之,异化译法规定译者向原文作者靠拢,采用原文作者使用的体现方式传达原文的内容。e.g.to kill two birds with one stone:一石二鸟All roads lead to Rome :条条大路通罗马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. 归化译法采用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。(Venuti 1995: 20)换言之,归化译法规定译者向译文读者靠拢,采用译文读者习惯的译语体现方式传达原文的内容。e.g. to kill two birds with one stone: 一箭双雕、一举两得to grow like mushrooms: 雨后春笋All roads lead to Rome: 殊途同归英语口译:InterpretingA Course to Develop An Understanding and Basic Skills of InterpretingAfter studying this unit, you should be able to:understand what and how to prepare for the interpreting tasks in the long run.find ways to improve your interpreting skills and performance.master the basic words and expressions about protocol routine.know some cultural background knowledge about protocol routine.I.

On the job, poor communication skills can be harmful. Having good communication skills can give you an edge over other job candidates.3. The Process of Communication Sender and Source(发出者和信息源) Participants in the communication process who communicate messages to an audience are called senders. Message(信息)A message is the written, oral, or nonverbal communication that sender transmits to an audience.信息一般通过符号表达。这些符号代表一定的意义,并可分为语言符号和非语言符号两大类。语言符号是代表特定事物或观点的字、词、句。除语言符号之外,非语言符号也是重要的交流方式,例如,身体语言,涉及面部表情、手势、姿势、声调、外表等等。不同文化中,非语言符号涵义有所不同。例如,不直视某人在某些文化中表达对她人的尊重,而在此外某些文化中,则表达不诚实、企图隐瞒事实。 Encoding(编码) The activity of the sender choosing certain words or nonverbal methods to send an intentional message is called encoding. (编码指发出者输出信息前,选择语言和非语言信息的过程,亦即制造符号(creating symbol)的内心活动,这一过程可长可短。) Channel(渠道)Every message is transmitted through a channelthe medium through which the message sender and the message receiver communicate.Table 1-1: Three Typical Communication ChannelsTwo-way, face-to-faceInformal conversations, interviews, oral reports, speeches, and teleconferencesTwo-way, not-face-to-faceTelephone conversations and intercompany announcementsOne-way, not-face-to-faceWritten documents such as letters, memos, reports, and press release prepared traditionally or sent electronically (electronic mail, facsimile, voice mail)沟通的渠道是人们体现信息的手段,是传递被编码信息的途径。信息传递的途径多种多样:可以是书面形式的,如报纸和杂志等;可以是非纸介的电子形式,如电子邮件、手机短信等;也可以通过电波、光波和声波等形式,如电话、广播、电视等;既可以是平面化的,如信札、照片等,也可以是立体的,如可视电话、网络视频等。 Receiver(接受者)Receivers are the audience to whom messages are directed. Decoding(解码)The activity of the receiver attaching meaning to the words or symbols that the sender sends is called decoding.接受者在反馈信息之前,接受发出者发出的信息并赋予意义的过程被称为解码。影响赋予符号意义的因素诸多,诸如生活经验、宗教信奉、性别年龄、社会角色与文化差别等。其中又以文化差别的影响最为明显。 Feedback(反馈)Feedback consists of messagesverbal and nonverbalthat convey a reaction to the communicators message.正常状况下,接受者收到发出者发出的信息之后,会对信息作出反映(response),然后向发出者回送信息,这一答复信息的过程称之为反馈。正是由于有了反馈,沟通才干显现出双向、持续的动态性特性。 Noise(干扰)It refers to all the factors that interfere with the exchange of messages.干扰是阻碍人们精确理解信息的因素。干扰可以分为内部干扰(internal noise)、外部干扰(external noise)和语义干扰(semantic noise)。外部干扰来自于环境,也许阻碍信息的接受或理解,例如,课堂附近的建筑工地发出的多种噪音会直接影响授课、听课效果等。内部干扰出目前发出者和接受者的内心,使发出者和接受者关注的不是目前的交流而是其她事情。例如,一种学生放不下对丢失钱包的思虑,注意力主线不在课堂上,听课效果必然大打折扣。语义干扰是指所用词汇具有几种不批准义,也许会干扰接受者对信息的理解。 Context(语境)The communication context refers to the situation in which communication takes place and to every factor affecting its transmission。语境是指沟通发生的场合和情景。语境可以分为物理语境(physical context)、社会语境(social context)和人际语境(interpersonal context)。物理语境是指交际发生的真实客观环境,即交际互动是发生在室内或是室外,是公共场合还是私人约会,周边环境喧闹还是安静,灯光明亮或是灰暗等等。社会语境是指在不同的社交场合人们对她人不同的行为期待,例如,人们在葬礼上的交际活动就有别于私人约会。人际语境也是一种沟通环境。从人际语境可以看出沟通双方之间的关系,如师生、朋友、对头、上下级等,以及不同文化背景的两者互相交流等。4. The Flow of Communication Upward Communication(向上沟通)Messages flowing from subordinates to superiors are called upward communication. Upward communication conveys four types of messages: What subordinates are doing Unsolved work problems Suggestions for improvement How subordinates feel about each other and the job向上沟通是指信息从较低层次向较高层次传递的过程。如下级、被管理者通过一定的渠道,与上级、管理决策层所进行的信息交流。下级、被管理者通过向上沟通可向上级管理者提供反馈、报告多种信息,并告知目前存在的问题。上级、管理者也可通过沟通理解某些局限性之处。向上沟通可采用面对面交谈、较正式的会议或状况简介等形式,也可通过书面的形式传递。 Downward Communication(向下沟通)Downward communication occurs whenever superiors initiate messages to their subordinates. There are four types of downward communication: Job instructions Job rationale Procedures and practices Feedback向下沟通是指信息从较高层次向较低层次传递的过程,即信息的传递是从高档主管到中层主管,再到基层主管,最后到工作执行人员。例如,上层管理者给下属布置工作,进行工作指引,告知政策与程序等,一般采用向下沟通的模式。由于向下沟通可用来传达组织内部管理所需的规章制度、工作程序和平常信息,因而向下沟通具有权威性,也许涉及下达正式的书面文献、简介平常工作状况和布置工作或上下级之间单向的面对面交谈。 Horizontal Communication(水平沟通)Horizontal communication consists of messages between members of an organization with equal power. Horizontal communication serves five purposes: Task coordination Problem solving Sharing information Conflict resolution Building rapport向上沟通和向下沟通属于跨越不同层级的沟通,因此,可视为垂直沟通。当沟通发生在同一工作群体的成员之间,同一级别的工作群体成员之间,同一级别的管理者之间以及任何级别相似的人员之间时,这种沟通模式就被称为水平沟通或横向沟通。5. Internal and External Communication Internal Communication(内部沟通)Internal communication involves communicating back and forth within the organization through such written and oral channels as memos, reports, proposals meetings, oral presentations, speeches, and person-to-person and telephone conversation. External Communication(外部沟通)External communication refers to communication with an organizations major audiencesthe general public, customers, vendors and other businesses, and government officials.6. Communication and Culture High-Context Culture(高语境文化)High-context cultures prefer to use high-context messages in which most of the meaning is either implied by the physical setting or presumed to be part of the individuals internalized belief, values, and norms; very little is provided in the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the message.Communicators in these societies learn to discover meaning from the context in which a message is delivered: the nonverbal behaviors of speakers, the history of the relationship, and the general social rules that govern interaction between people. Low-Context Culture(低语境文化)Low-context cultures prefer to use low-context messages, in which the majority of the information is vested in the explicit code.To low-context communicators, the meaning of a statement is in the words spoken.7. Communication ChannelThe oral channel includes media such as face-to-face conversation, telephone calls, speeches, presentations, and meetings. The most common written media are letters, memos, and reports.Oral channel also includes voice mail, audiotape and videotape, teleconferencing and videoconferencing, closed-circuit television, and many more. Written media also include e-mail, faxing, computer conferencing (with groupware), websites, instant messaging, and more. General Sites of Rhetorical Contrasts in Business Communication 4.1 Translation 涉外商务翻译规定信息必须精确、无误地进行传达,其遵循的翻译理论应当是美国出名翻译家尤金奈达所提出的“功能对等” (Functional Equivalence)理论。该理论强调:翻译的预期目的重要是原文和译文在信息内容、说话方式、文体、文风、语言、文化、社会因素诸方面达到对等,从而使原文读者的反映与译文读者的反映达到对等。(一) 专业专业性,是商务英语的一种重要特点。商务英语的词汇具有比较明显的专业特性,其语境制约着部分词汇具有其特殊的商务语义。如,一般英语中“balance,liability,quote,draft”的一般含义分别为“平衡、责任、引用、草稿”,但在商务语境中,它们却有着特殊的含义。例如: 此公司债台高筑,不得不破产了。Heavy liabilities forced the firm into bankruptcy. (二)庄严商务英语具有正式、严肃、庄严的文体特性。例如:欣寄样品一份。I have pleasure in forwarding this sample to you. 以上句中have pleasure, forward在各自的上下文中分别可用简朴口语词汇来替代,但文体意义有所不同,原文使用了书面语言,句子改正规庄严。(三)明确一般英语常大量使用代词指代前面的名词,以避免不必要的反复。而商务英语则一反一般英语的这种一般趋势,为避免指代也许产生的模糊性,常常采用反复名词或语句的手段,以精确严密的语言构造保证商务信息传递的明确性和完整性。 我方会尽快发货。We will deliver your things soon.The 200 cassettes you ordered on July 21st will be delivered on August 1st.(四)简洁简洁是商务英语的另一文体特性,这从其格式用语的使用即可见一斑,其格式有“if+ 形容词(或过去分词)”或“as+过去分词”等用法。如“if available,if possible,if necessary,if practicable”或“as agreed,as required”等。 4.2 Illustrations Graphics play an important role in international communication because they convey meaning without depending on words. It is important to bear in mind that different cultures have different levels of visual literacy and often have different associations for what they see.4.3 Numbers Differences in Numerical RepresentationsCountry Sample date formats United States March 1, France 1 mars Germany (official format) 1.Marz Sweden 00-01-03 Italy (official format) 1.3.00 Country Sample time formats United States 8:35 p.m. France 20:35 Germany 20:35 Quebec, Canada 20 h 35 Sweden kl20.35 Venezuela 8:35 Country Sample magnitude representations One thousand One million One billion United States 1,000 1,000,000 1,000,000,000 Germany 1.000 1.000.000 1.000.000.000 Sweden 1000 1 000 000 1 000 000 000 4.4 Online Communication Avoid using acronyms unless you are sure the audience understands them. Keep in mind that the word count in one language will not be the same as the word count in another language. When designing text for a single screen, remember that what appears as a single-window topic in one language may be boosted to multiple windows because of language inflation. Make sure that the links in your hypermedia document are understandable to the target culture. Edit the material carefully to ensure that the keywords make sense for contrasting rhetoric.5. Specific Sites of Rhetorical Contrasts in Business Communication As contrastive rhetoric studies the cultural influence on the second-language writing, an analysis to some specific sites of business communication is necessary. The following are some specific genres where the differences in culture-based rhetorical practices and expectations can cause misunderstanding and problems.Business communicators could benefit immensely from study in contrastive rhetoric. Communication in the business arena includes Business Minutes, Press Release, Business Reports, Business Proposals, Business Contracts, Resumes, Application Letters, Oral Presentations and many other forms of expression where the interplay of culture and communication can create barriers to clarity.5.1 Business Correspondence Power distance: is the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations accept that power is distributed unequall
