Grammatical contrast of vocabulary,Differences:,1. 从词类划分比较:,汉语没有冠词, 英语没有量词,2. 从数量上比较:,副词: 汉语中少, 为虚词,英语中多, 为实词,介词: 汉语中少, 30个左右,英语中多, 数不胜数,(包括简单介词、复合介词、短语介词）,连词： 有类似不同,复杂而有趣的量词,一本书、两枝笔、三扇窗、四把锁、五只鸡,一炷香、一抔土、一尾鱼、一床被、一叶小舟、一顶帽子、一方砚台、一出戏、一把锁、一眼井、一笔钱、两撇胡子、一椽破屋,一弯新月、一轮明月、一缕炊烟、一抹斜阳、一带远山、一江春水、一派风光、一树梅花、一川烟草、一袭花香、一泓清泉、一垄土地、一缕乡愁,一团和气、一丝希望、一门心思,English - SV structure,Chinese - inner logic and semantic relations,Sentence Examples:,1) These are the best dictionaries about English idioms which we have in the library.,2) This morning I came back by train from Beijing where I had visited some of my former classmates after I had finished my task there.,3) We had been dismayed at home while reading of the natural calamities that followed one another for three years after we left China in 1959.,4) Rocket research has confirmed a strange fact that had already been suspected there is a high temperature belt in the atmosphere, with its center roughly thirty miles above the ground.,1.6 Word order,5)政府主导的医疗改革如果仅仅意味着加大对医疗市场的限制的话，那我们可要三思而后行了。,6) 她每天清晨在室外高声朗读。,7) 救死扶伤，实行革命的人道主义。,8) 英国是第一个承认人民中国的西方大国。,9) 如蒙早日寄来样品或产品册，不胜感激。,1.7,Function words,Function words,are articles, prepositions, auxiliaries, coordinators, subordinators and so on.,1) a fish / a hill / a well / a book / a marriage / a limited view / a good intention,2) He has an eye for beauty / an ear for music.,3) Johnson is the man for the job. / This is the drink for hot weather.,4) To the Chinese, theirs was not a civilization, but the civilization.,(中国人认为他们的文化不是文化中的一种，而是唯一的文化。),5) This was the period when Einstein began the research which resulted in the creation of his famous Theory of Relativity.,6) 晚霞映红,了,半边天。,8) 老人走南闯北，去,过,的地方很多,9) 群众齐心,了,，一切事情都好办。,从,词类使用的频率,上分析,*汉语多用动词而英语多用名词,*英语中代词、介词、连词的使用频率高,*汉语的数词使用得多, 因为汉语的成语及缩略语靠数词构成,*汉语的量词使用频率高, 正如英语的冠词一样,1.7,Function words,汉英词类划分的理据比较及对汉译英的意义,1.汉英词类划分的理据,汉语词类的划分主要依据,词义,，即词义的实与虚、动与静、具体与抽象等；,英语的词类划分依据是,语法,，词类与句子成分有严格的对应关系，词义倒在其次。,结果: 汉英词类,名同实异, 同名异质,语言现实中:,形异实同,因此,:,转类法,2. 对汉英翻译的意义(启示）,*由于汉英词汇意义存在不对应现象, 翻译时应通过各种手段对译入语加以补充或限定, 技巧上表现为,词语的增减阐释借用音译等手段,的运用;,*,由于词汇使用频率不对应, 翻译时不能拘泥与字面的对应, 而应该以整体意义为重,灵活变通。,*由于词类的性质不同, 词类转换便成了汉英翻译中经常使用的技巧。,英语中词类转换, 一词兼几类的现象比较普遍,“You can happy your friends, malice or foot your enemy, or fall an axe on his neck.”,- Shakespeare,Who chaired the meeting?,It can seat 1000 people.,We should shoulder these responsibilities.,I hope we can room together.,They breakfasted at the guesthouse.,Exercises for Word Translation,地下游览,惊险刺激,。,郭彩娣笑了，赞赏他的口才说：,说话真会,绕弯,。,别了,，司徒雷登！,你能算出那颗子弹的,初速度,吗？,我在校门口和他分手。,她怕,碰一鼻子灰,，话到了嘴边，又吞了下去。,他吹得,天花乱坠。,打得赢就打，打不赢就,走,。,The underground voyage is full of dangers and risks.,The underground voyage is full of,adventure,and,risk,.,Guo,Caidi,smiled and said appreciatively: He certainly knows how to beat around the bush.,Guo,Caidi,smiled and said appreciatively: He certainly knows how to,keep you guessing,.”,Goodbye, Leighton Stuart!,Farewell, Leighton Stuart!,Can you calculate the initial speed of the bullet?,Can you calculate the initial,ve,l,ocity,of the bullet?,Key to exercise,I parted with him at the school gate.,I,parted from,him at the school gate.,She was afraid of being,snubbed, so she swallowed the words that came to her lips.,He bragged,in the most fantastic terms,.,(give an extravagantly,colourful,description),Fight when you can win,move away,when you cannot win.,Thereissomeonethatiscomingorpassingawayinyourlifearoundtheclock,soyoumaylosesightofthoseseen,andforgetthoseremembered.Thereisgainandlossinyourlife,soyoumaycatchsightofthoseunseen,andrememberthoseforgotten.Nevertheless,doesnttheunseenexistforsure?Will,therememberedremainforever?,生命中，不断地有人离开或进入。于是，看见的，看不见了；记住的，遗忘了。生命中，不断地有得到和失落。于是，看不见的，看见了；遗忘的，记住了。,然而，看不见的，是不是就等于不存在？记住的，是不是永远不会消失？,Practice:,Practice,在人际关系上我们不要太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的，往往在接触一个人时首先看到的是他或她的优点。这一点颇像在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候，印象很好。吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了 这顿宴席，缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头。这是因为，第一，开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态，而饿了吃糠甜如蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜。,第二，你初到一个餐馆，开始举筷时有新鲜感，新盖的茅房三天香，这也可以叫做“陌生化效应”吧。,Notes:,本文选自王蒙的陌生化效应，属于哲理性的小品文，运用比喻的写作手法来描述人际关系，其中很多形象的比喻多难理解，是较难的汉英翻译之一。,1. 第一句“在人际关系浪漫主义”中，人际关系：human relationship, 或interpersonal relationship。,2. 第四句中的“头盘或冷碟”，“头盘”即第一道菜，可以译为the first dishes, 或starter or cold dishes。,3. 从“开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候， ”到“于是转喜为怒， 转首肯为摇头。”都是无主句，但后面句子中出现了第二人称单词“你”，因此翻译时可用增词法，添加主语you，使上下文一致。,4. “责备挑剔”可译为scolding and nit-picking。,5. 翻译“转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头”时，用一个与原文类似的平行结构将原文含义及语言特点体现出来。如可译为Then happiness turns to anger, praise to scolding and nit-picking, 。,6.,翻译“饿了吃糠甜如蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜”，最好用意译的方法，the bran tastes as sweet as honey.,参考译文1,In interpersonal relationships, we shouldnt be too romantic. Human beings are interesting. Usually, when they meet a person they will first notice his or her merits. Its just like the experience of dining in a restaurant. The starter or cold dishes will leave you a very good impression. You will be full of praise while eating the first two main courses. The more you eat, the calmer you will become. At the end of the dinner all the shortcomings come out. Then happiness turns to anger, praise to scolding and nit-picking, and head-nodding to head-shaking. This is because: firstly, you are hungry when you begin eating. When you are hungry, the bran tastes as sweet as honey; however, when you are full, even the honey tastes insipid.,参考译文2,With respect to person-to-person relationship, we should not be too impractical. Man is an interesting creature and tends to notice a fellow human beings merits at first sight. This is like the dining experience at a restaurant. The first or the cold dish is much welcomed. The initial courses/dishes are more than appreciated. As the meal progresses, however, he becomes increasingly calm, and by the time the dinner is over all the defects of the dishes are out on the table. Then joy turns into anger, praise into nitpicking and, finally, nodding into head-shaking. All this is due, first of all, to the fact that, when one starts to eat, one is hungry and hunger makes rice husk taste better than honey while full filling turns one away from the sweetest honey.,
