C. Carford,2,Definitions of translation,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,.（,翻译是指从语义到文体在译语中用最切近而又最自然的对等语再现原文的信息。,）,Eugene A. Nida,To translate is to change into another language, retaining as much of,the sense,as one can.,Samuel Johnson,3,Definitions of translation,(Translating ) is rendering the meaning of a text into another language,in the way the author intended the text,.,Peter Newmark,Translation is an art that involves the re-creation of a work in another language,for readers with a different background,.,Malcolm Cowley,4,Definitions of translation,A translation is taken to be any target-language utterance which is presented or regarded as such within,the target culture, on whatever grounds.,Gideon Toury,Translation is the production of a functional target text maintaining a relationship with a given source text that is specified according to,the intended or demanded function,of the target text.,Christiane Nord,5,Definitions of translation,Translation is an externally,motivated industrial activity, supported by information technology, which is diversified in response to the particular needs of this form of communication.,Jean Sager,6,Elements involved in the process of translating,Author of STSTTranslatorTTReaders of TT,7,Elements involved in the process of translating,Intermediate information receiver,Author of STSTTranslatorTTReaders of TT,Secondary information dispatcher,8,Definitions of translation,翻译是一种跨文化的信息交流与交换活动，其本质是传播，是传播学中一个有特殊性质的领域。,吕俊,翻译是把具有某一种文化背景的发送者用某种语言（文字）所表述的内容尽可能充分地、有效地传达给使用另一种语言（文字）、具有另一种文化背景的接受者。,沈苏儒,9,Definitions of translation,翻译是两个语言社会之间的交际过程和交际工具，它的目的是要促进本语言社会的政治、经济和文化进步，它的任务是要把原作中包含的现实世界的逻辑映像或艺术映像，完好无损地从一种语言译注到另一种语言中去。,张今,10,Sense of language,1.sense of grammar,2.sense of idiomaticness,3.sense of meaning,4.sense of style,5.sense of situation,6.sense of coherence,（杨晓荣.汉译能力解析.中国翻译，2002/6）,11,Translation as a task to be accomplished,It is sometimes said that there is no task more complex than translationa claim that can be readily believed when all the variables involved are taken into account. Translators not only need to know their source language well; they must also have a thorough understanding of the field of knowledge covered by the source text, and of any social, cultural, or emotional connotations that need to be specified in the target language if the intended effect is to be conveyed. The same special awareness needs to be present for the target language, so that points of special phrasing, local (e. g. regional) expectations, and so on, can all be taken into account.,Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language,12,翻译的性质,翻译是将一种语言文化承载的意义转换到另一种语言文化中的跨语言、跨文化的交际活动。,意义的交流必须通过语言来实现，而每种语言都是一个独特文化的部分和载体。我们在转换一个文本的语言信息时，也在传达其蕴含的文化意义。,翻译的本质是释义，是意义的转换。,13,Criteria of translation,诸佛典皆在天竺。天竺言语，与汉异音名物不同，传实不易仆初嫌其词不雅。维祇难曰：“佛言依其义不用饰，取其法不以严。其传经者，当令易晓，勿失厥义，是则为善。”座中咸曰：“老氏称：美言不信，信言不美。今传胡义，实且径达。”,-支谦（法句经序）,14,Criteria of translation,夫译之为事难矣，译之将奈何？其平日冥心钩考，必先将所译者与所以译者两国之文字，深嗜笃好，字栉句比，以考彼此文字孳生之源，同异之故，所有相当之实义，委曲推究，务审其音势高下，相其字句之繁简，尽其文体之变态，及其义理精深奥折之所以然。夫如是，则一书到手，经营反复，确知其意旨之所在，而又摹写其神情，仿佛其语气，然后心悟神解，振笔而书，译成之文，适如其所译而止，而曾无毫发出入于其间，夫而后能使阅者所得之益，与观原文无异，是则为善译也已。,马建忠（18451900，拟设翻译书院议，1894）,15,Criteria of translation,“译”事三难：信、达、雅。求其信，已大难矣。顾信矣不达，虽译犹不译也，则达尚焉。译文取明深意，故词句之间，时有所颠倒附益，斤斤于字比句次，而意义则不倍本文。至原文词理本深，难于共喻，则当前思后衬，以显其意。凡此经营，皆以为达：为达，即以为信也。易曰：“修辞立诚”。子曰“辞达而已！”又曰：“言之无文，行之不远”。三者乃文章正轨，亦即为译事楷模。故信达而外，求其尔雅。,严复（18541921，天演论译例言）,16,Translation has to do three difficult things: to be faithful, expressive and elegant. For a translation to be faithful to the original is difficult enough, and yet if it is not expressive, it is tantamount to having no translation. Hence expressiveness should also be required.,17,The,Book of Changes,says that rhetoric should uphold truthfulness. Confucius says that expressiveness is all that matters in language. He adds that if ones language lacks grace, it will not travel far. These qualities, then, are the criterion of good writing and, I believe, of good translation too. Hence besides faithfulness and expressiveness, a translator should also aim at elegance. (王佐良 译）,18,Criteria of translation,译者不但要求达义，并且要以传神为目的，译文必须忠实于原文之字神句气与言外之意。,林语堂,以效果而论，翻译应像临画一样，所求的不在形似，而是神似。,傅雷,19,Criteria of translation,文学翻译的最高标准可以说是“化”。把作品从一国文字转变成另一国文字，既不能因语言习惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹，又能完全保存原作的风味，那就算得入于“化境”。,钱钟书,真有灵感的译文，像投胎重生的灵魂一般，令人觉得是一种“再创造”。,余光中,20,Criteria of translation,We expect approximate truth in translationwhat we want to have is the truest possible feel of the original. The characters, the situation, the reflection, must come to us as they were in the authors mind and breast, not necessarily by precisely as he had them on his lips.,Oliver Edwards,21,Criteria of translation,A good translator is: 1) To give a just representation of the sense of the original, 2) To convey into his version, as much as possible, in a consistency with the genius of the language with which he writes, the authors spirit and manners, and 3) To take care that the version has at least the quality of an original performance so as to appear natural and easy. George Campbell,22,Criteria of translation,The best of a real translation is that it should not read like translation at all. J. B. Philips,No translation, however learned, is of any value that does not give at least some of the joy to the readers that was given by its original. A. J. Arborry,23,Criteria of translation,(Tri-ness) Faithfulness, expressiveness, and gracefulness were considered the golden rule in the field of translation.,Herbert Rotheinstein,24,Criteria of translation,一是易解，二是保存原作的丰姿（鲁迅）,神似（similarity in spirit）（傅雷）,化境（sublimation）（钱钟书）,Alexander F.

Tytler,（1）译文应完全传达原文的思想。（A translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work.）,（2）译文的风格和笔调应与原文一致。（The style and manner of writing should be of the same character as that of the original.）,（3）译文应像原文一样流畅。（A translation should have all the ease of the original composition.）,28,Basic Differences between Chinese and English,一、语系,汉语属汉藏语系（Sino-Tibetan Family），英语属印欧语系（Indo-European Family）。,二、文字,汉语是表意文字（ideographic script），英语是拼音文字（alphabetic script）。,三、语音,汉语是声调语言（tonal language），英语是语调语言（intonation language）。,29,四、词汇,五、句法(形合与意合),六、篇章,30,（一）构词,1、构词法,汉语和英语都能用合成法（compounding）、缀合法（affixation）、音变法（sound-changing）、缩略法（abbreviation）构词，也都通过翻译从外语中借进新词。不同的是，汉语还使用重叠法（reduplication），英语还用转换法（conversion）、逆构词法（back-formation）和截短法（clipping）构词。（p.36）,31,2、词义对比,(1)词义涵盖,(2)词的搭配,32,3、词义关系,词义相符（semantic correspondence）,词义相异（semantic non-correspondence）,词义空缺（semantic zero）,33,Translation of Words and Expressions,Proper words in their proper places (词适其所) make the true definition of style. (Jonathan Swift),The difference between the right word and the almost right word is really a large mattertis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. (Mark Twain),34,A word is a world. It is history in the briefest form. It is a spot on a page but often a story of great events and movement. You cant examine a word and learn it well without learning more than a word. (Charles W. Ferguson) （转引自：思果.翻译研究.中国对外翻译出版公司，2001：1718）,35,Translation of Words and Expressions,据,文章 “积字为句、积句为段、积句为篇”的创作程式，汉英翻译过程可相应为三个部分：选词、构句、谋篇。,在翻译实践中，篇章是最终的考核质量的单位，句子是基本的操作单位，而大部分的难题都集中在词汇单位。（Peter Newmark, 1981）（陈宏微2004：69）,36,There is inevitably a collision of backgrounds, of tradition, of environment, which each language carries with it. The mere understanding of what words and sentences mean is not enough.

Ferguson),47,你信也罢，不信也罢，考试那天他可是出足了风头。他靠一知半解的临时抱佛脚居然考及格了，还受到了表扬。好多人比他强一千倍，反而没及格。,48,生长在乡间，失去了父母与几亩薄田，十八岁的时候便跑到城里来。带着乡间小伙子的足壮与诚实，凡是以卖力气就能吃饭的事他几乎都作过了，可是，不久他就看出来，拉车是件更容易挣钱的事；作别的苦工，收入是有限的；拉车多着一些变化与机会，不知道在什么时候和地点就会遇到一些多于希望的报酬。 （骆驼祥子）,49,If you will believe me (believe it on not, would you believe (it), he went through,with flying colors,(successfully; be in the limelight; attract more than enough attention) on the examination day! He went through on that purely superficial “cram”, and got compliments too, while others, who knew a thousand times more than he, got,pluck,ed (Brit. Slang: to reject a candidate in an examination).,50,Born in the countryside and having lost his parents and his barren lands, Xiangzi came to Beijing when he was eighteen. With strong muscle and honesty he did almost the labors by which he could earn his bread. Soon it appeared clear to him that a rickshaw was more paid than to do other labors with limited payment.

Nida,奈达（Eugene A. Nida）认为：“翻译是指从语义到文体在译语中用最切近而又最自然的对等语再现原文的信息。”（Translation 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.）,58,Language Functions,（,Nida,）,奈达在From One Language to Another(与J. Waard合著)中将功能分为九类：,（1）表现功能(expressive function),（2）认知功能(cognitive function),（3）人际功能(interpersonal function),（4）信息功能(informative function),（5）祈使功能(imperative function),（6）行为功能(performative function),（7）感情功能(emotive function),（8）审美功能(aesthetic function),（9）语言文化功能(metalingual function),59,Halliday,Halliday认为语言有达意功能（ideational function）、人际功能(interpersonal function)和组篇功能(textual function)。,The,ideational function,is to organize the speakers or writers experience of the real or imaginary world, i.e. language refers to real or imagined persons, things, actions, events, states, etc.,60,The,interpersonal function,is to indicate, establish, or maintain social relationships between people. It includes forms of address, speech function, MODALITY, etc.,The,textual function,is to create written or spoken TEXTS which cohere within themselves and which fit the particular situation in which they are used.

They were like bright pearls and stars in an azure sky.王椒升译）.一寸光阴一寸金（Time is precious）。,64,5、认知功能（cognitive function），人必须用语言进行思考，用语言“进行分析、综合、抽象、概括等思维活动，形成思想，表达思想。”（王德春，1997：8）这便是语言的认知功能。,6、酬应功能（phatic function），使交际者保持接触，也可反映交际者之间的关系。如：你好。（How do you do!）幸会。（Nice to see you!）,7、元语言功能（metalingual function），指语言解释或命名自身特点的功能。如：语言是一种独特的符号系统。（Language is a unique system of signs.）,65,Meaning,Denotation,Connotation,66,Denotation,denotation: that part of meaning of a word or phrase that relates it to phenomena in the real world or in a fictional or possible world. For example, the denotation of the English word “bird” is a two-legged, winged, egg-laying, warm-blooded creature with a beak. In a meaning system, denotative meaning may be regarded as the “central” meaning or “core” meaning of a lexical item. It is often equated with referential meaning and with cognitive meaning and conceptual meaning.,67,Connotation,connotation: the additional meanings that a word or phrase has beyond its central meaning. These meanings show peoples emotions and attitudes towards what the word or phrase refers to. For example, child could be defined as a young human being but there are many other characteristics which different people associate with child, e. g. affectionate, amusing, lovable, sweet, mischievous, noisy, irritating, grubby.,68,Meaning (semiotics, semiology),Intrinsic meaning,Referential meaning,Pragmatic meaning,69,Meaning within the language,Meaning on the phonological level,Meaning on the lexical level,Meaning on the textual level,70,Meaning on the phonological level,头韵(alliteration)：pretty as a picture, deaf as a doornail (全聋),半韵(assonance)：The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.,71,和音(consonance)：The splendor falls on castle walls.,尾韵(rhyme)：嘴上无毛，说话不牢。（Downy lips make thoughtless slips.）,三个臭皮匠，合成一个诸葛亮。,72,Meaning on the lexical level,While the Vietnam vet was fighting, and,losing limb and mind, and dying, others stayed behind to,pursue education and career,.,73,双关语(pun)：If we dont hang together, well hang separately.,拈连(zeugma),：,1.他和他的驾照上周一道报销了。,2.泪流满面，悲痛欲绝,3.发动战争，谋求和平,4.人穷志不穷（人贫志不短）,5.这架飞机该有多大的重量啊！它载着解放区人民的心，载着全中国人民的希望，载着我们国家的命运。,74,1.He and his driving license expired last week.,2.weeping eyes and hearts,3.wage war and peace,4.poor but not wanting in enterprise; poor but with lofty ideals (aspirations)；,5.What a heavy load this aeroplane bore!

Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business.读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。,81,Referential meaning,直升飞机；回扣；广播讲话；法人实体；体育道德；裁判长；花样滑冰；社会主义市场经济；开发区；畜牧业；社会语言学；知识产权；水土流失；白费力气 (口语)；白吃白喝（美口）；改革措施；齐步走（term of command）,82,空姐；空勤人员；三通（通商，通航，通邮）；综合国力；足球流氓；贸易保护主义；美差；肥缺；面面俱到的研究；积重难返的酒徒；报喜不报忧的报告；治标不治本的解决办法；新秀；大器晚成者；三教九流的一伙；不学无术的花花公子；仓促做出的决定；点播节目；精打细算的旅游者；经济实惠的饭菜；世间的功名成就； 苏轼字子瞻，号东坡,83,Pragmatic meaning,表征（indicative）意义,表达（expressive）意义,联想（associative）意义,祈使（imperative）意义,社交（social）意义,84,Man and Nature (Version 1 ),The bounty of Nature is equal to everyone, rich or poor, and therefore all men are all strongly attached to her.
