Excuse me, sir;is this Prof.Tallack from London? B:Yes, I'm George Tallack from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.You must be Miss Dai, if I'm not mistaken.是的,我是伦敦大学亚非学院的乔治·泰莱克。我要是没认错的话,您一定是戴小姐? A:是的,我叫戴嘉佳,海通人力资源部经理。泰莱克教授,我一直在此恭候您的到来。
Yes, I'm Dai Jiajia, manager of Human Resources, the Haitong Group.I have been expecting you, Prof.Tallack.B:Thank you for coming to meet me at the airport.This is a fantastic airport, absolutely one of the top-notch internation airports.谢谢您来机场接我。这个机场太美了,绝对是顶尖的国际机场。
A:我很高兴能在我的家乡接待您。人人都说这是个一流的现代化国际机场。欢迎,欢迎。我们非常高兴您能成行啊,非常感激您不辞辛劳,在百忙中抽空来我海通指导。
I'm very glad to have the pleasure of meeting you in my hometown.This is indeed a first-class international airport, as everybody says so.You're welcome.We're very happy that you made it in spite of the tiring trip.We're very grateful that you took time from your busy schedule and came to Haitong to give us advice.B:I've long been expecting to learn about the famous Haitong Group.I really appreciate this opportunity, which is also an opportunity for me to learn about Chinese enterprises at a close distance.我一直希望能真正了解赫赫有名的“海通集团”,你们也给了我近距离了解中国企业的机会,我感激不尽。
A:一路可好?十几个小时的飞行很辛苦啊。
How was the trip? It must be very tiring, flying for more than 10 hours.B:Not too bad.But we were later than expected.Our plane delayed taking off as we ran into a storm.We were held up for several hours at the airport, waiting for the storm to clear up.But we had good flying weather and we enjoyed a good attending service, of course.还可以,但班机延误了,下了暴雨,我们只得在机场等了几个小时,天气转好后才起飞。但飞行途中的天气还不错,服务也很好。
A:嗯,长途施行之后您一定很累了,您还得倒时差呢。行李都齐了,我们直接回宾馆吧。
Well, you must be very tired after the long trip, and you have to get over the jet-lag.We have got all the luggage, haven't we? Let's drive directly to the hotel.B:Yes, I'm a bit tired.I'm very bad with a jet-lag.But I'll be all right in a couple of days.是的,我是有点累了。我倒时差很慢,但两天后自然就恢复了。
A:好的,先回宾馆下榻,好好休息一下。明天不必早起。明天的安排是这样的,我们中午设宴为您洗尘,下午会见集团总裁,晚上我们去看一场杂技表演,典型的中国杂技。不知泰莱克教授意下如何?
Good.We'll take you to the hotel for a good rest.You don't have to get up early tomorrow.Here's the schedule for tomorrow.We'll host a reception lunch in your honor.And then you'll meet with Chairman of the Board in the afternoon.We'll take you to an acrobatic show in the evening, a typical Chinese acrobatic show.How do you like that, Prof.Tallack?

A:请稍等,我查一下预订记录„„喔,让您久等了,先生。不过,恐怕这时查不到您的预订记录。您是在哪里预订的?有确认函吗?
Just a moment, please.I'll check our reservation record...Oh, thank you for waiting,sir.But I'm afraid we have no record of your reservation.Where was it made? Do you have a confirmation letter? B:That's very strange.I made the reservation about 10 days ago, through a travel agency at home.But I don't have the confirmation letter with me.What I have with me is a copy of the itinerary.Is there any problem with the accommodation for just two days?
这就怪了。我是在10天前请国内的一家旅行社代为预订的。我没有带确认函来,我只带了一张复印的行程表。我在这里只住两天行吗?
A:别着急,我查一下有没有空房间。太好了,我们还有一个双人间,另外还有一套豪华套房,都没有人入住。不知您要哪一套?
Just a minute, please.I'll check vacancies.Very good, I got it.We have a double room, and there's deluxe suite available.Which one do you prefer? B:Thanks a lot.I prefer the double room.How long can I keep it? And is it a regular rate with no extra charge?
太感谢了,我要那个双人间吧。我可以住多久呢?不会加价吧?
A:很好,先生,请登记吧。我们不多收费,人往最后一套豪华套房您还可以享受8折优惠价呢。
Very good, sir.Will you register here, please? No, there's no extra charge.Actually, you would have a good rate with 20% off on the last deluxe suite.B:The double room is fine.Is there any service that I need to know?
双人间可以了,我想知道酒店提供什么服务。A:当然啰。请问您有什么要求吗?
Certainly, sir.May I know if you have anything in particular? B:Yes.I'd like to have a 7 o'clock morning call, breakfast sent up to my room, shirts and pants laundered, some documents photocopied, and express mail sent out, and something like that.好呀,早上7点钟叫醒,早餐送我房间,衬衫、裤子需要洗熨,文件需要复印,一封邮件需要快递,诸如此类的事情需要帮忙。
A:没问题呀,请分别拨电话给总台、餐饮部、洗熨部、商务中心就可以了。您也可以直接与楼层服务台联系。您还需要什么服务吗?
No problem.Just call our Front Desk, Catering Service, Laundry Service, and Business Center accordingly.Or you may contact the Floor Service Desk.Is there anything else I can do for you? B:Just one more thing-do you have any place for fitness exercises? I go to the gym and exercise every day.还有一件事。酒店有没有什么地方可以健身?我每天都要去健身房运动。
A:有呀,我们有设施齐全的健身中心,还有教练给辅导呢。我们有许多现代化的健身设备可满足客人的不同需求。能让客人住得称心,我们很高兴。我真的希望你在这里住得愉快,如果还有什么其他要求,请随时告诉我。
Yes, we have a well-equipped fitness center, with coaches available.We have many modern fitness facilities catering to the different needs of our guests.We would be very pleased make their stay enjoyable.I do hope you enjoy your stay here.If you have any other requirements, please let me know at anytime.B:Very good, thank you very much.太好了,非常感谢。A:不用客气
You're welcome.2-3 宴会招待Banquet Service A:各位,晚上好,今天我们在此举办晚宴,招待各位亲爱的朋友和敬业的专家,庆贺我们的会谈取得圆满成功,我感到非常高兴。我特别感谢凯兰女士大驾光临。没有凯兰女士的最后努力,还不知道现在会怎样呢,恐怕我们还在谈判之中。
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.It gives me a great pleasure to host the banquet in honor of our dear friends and dedicated experts, and celebrate the successful conclusion of our talks.In particular, I'd like to thank Ms.Kelland for her coming.Without her last-minute effort, we would still be in the middle of nowhere, probably in the middle of negotiations, I'm afraid.B:Thank you, President Li.You all did very well.I just contributed my share.We all maneuvered successfully to get our job done, so to speak.Well, ladies and gentlemen, are we carrying out another round of talk over the dinner?
谢谢李总,你们都做得很好,我只是尽了自己的责任。可以说我们每个人都成功地使我们的使命得以完成。怎么样,女士们,先生们,难道我们在晚宴上还得谈判吗?
A:今天不谈生意,我建议今晚我们只叙友情,当然,我们要尽情享受大自然赐予我们的食物。
No more business talks today.We've already put an end to it.I propose we limit our talk to friendship tonight.And of course, we'll delight ourselves completely in the foods that Mother Nature grants us.B:That's great, the delicious Chinese food!I can't wait to enjoy your food.What are we excepting tonight?
太好了,可口的中国菜,我等不及了。今晚我们有什么好吃的? A:今晚我们准备了典型的上海餐,希望各位喜欢。
Tonight we have prepared a typical Shanghai meal.I hope you will like it.B:Yes, eat in Shanghai as Shanghai people eat.But, to be frank, I've heard of the famous Cantonese food, Sichuan food, Shandong food, but not that much of Shanghai food.What's special about Shanghai cuisine?
是的,在上海就应该吃上海人之所吃。不过,恕我直言,我只听说过名声显赫的粤菜、川菜场和鲁菜,对上海菜不太了解。上海菜系有什么特点? A:上海菜系是中国最年轻的地方菜系,通常被称为“本帮菜”,有着400多年的历史。同中国其他菜系一样,“本帮菜”具有“色、香、味”三大要素,特点是注重调料的使用、食物的质量和菜的原汁原味。
Shanghai cuisine, usually called Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among the major regional cuisines in China, with a history of more than 400 years.Like all other Chinese regional cuisines, Benbang cuisine takes “color, aroma and taste” as its essential quality elements.It emphasizes in particular the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw materials with quality texture, and original flavors.B:It sounds very appetizing.听来很能引起食欲。
A:我推荐一道特色点心“南翔小笼”和一道特色菜“松鼠桂鱼”,“南翔小笼”是猪肉馅,个小味美,皮薄汁醇。松鼠桂鱼色泽黄亮,形如松鼠,外皮脆而肉嫩,汤汁酸甜适口。绝对没错,你一定喜欢。
I'd like to recommend a special snack known as Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings and a special dish called “Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish”.Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings are small in size, with thin and translucent wrappers, filled inside with ground pork and rich tasty soup.The Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is yellow-colored and squirrel-shaped, with a crispy skin and tender meat, all covered with a sweet and sour source.They are absolutely tasters' choice.I bet you will like them.B:Oh, I suppose they are the perfect combination of the three elements “color, aroma and taste”.Especially the Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish.I can't figure out how the chef makes the dish look like a squirrel.Shall we add “appearance” to your judgement criteria?
噢,我想它们的确是“色、香、味”三要素的完美结合,尤其是松鼠桂鱼,我想不出来厨师是怎样把菜做得像个松鼠的。我们在三大评价标准上再添上“形”吧。A:完成正确,可以再加上“形”,那我们就有了第四大要素。菜上来了,别客气,请随意。
Absolutely right, plus “appearance”—that makes the fourth element.Ok, here we are.Please help yourself to the dishes.B:The dinner is so delicious.The dishes are complete with color, aroma, taste and appearance.Thank you very much for your invitation and hospitality.I hope I haven't missed anything, have I?
味道太可口了,这些菜的色、香、味、形都很好。谢谢你们的盛情宴请和款待。我希望没有漏掉什么好吃的吧?
A:很高兴您喜欢这里的菜。晚宴才开场,好戏还在后头呢。女士们、先生们,各位能够赏光来此共度一年中的这个美好时光,我感到非常荣幸。让我们共度一年中的这个美好时光,我感到非常荣幸。让我们共同举杯,敬祝凯兰女士健康。
I'm very glad that you like the dishes.But this is just the beginning of the dinner.We have more surprises to expect.Ladies and gentlemen, I consider it a great honor to have you all here for this wonderful time of the year.Let us drink to the health of Ms.Kelland.B:And toast to the health of President Li and to the health of everybody here.Cheers!
也祝李总身体健康,祝在座各位身体健康。干杯!A:为我们永久的友谊与合作,干杯!
To our lasting friendship and cooperation, cheers!
2-4 参观访问Getting Around A:您好,欢迎光临京河高科技园区。我是园区的业务经理,我很荣幸能带大家参观我们的园区。不知道各位对哪方面比较感兴趣?
Hello, welcome to Jinghe High-Tech Park.I am Operation Manager of the Park.I'm honored to be your guide and take you to tour around the Park.May I know your major interests? B:I'm interested in the general layout of the Park.Would you please give me some idea of its setup?
我对园区的总布局颇感兴趣,您能简要地介绍一下吗?
A:很好,我们先来鸟瞰一下整个园区吧,然后在园区内各处转悠一下,用我们的话来说是“走马观花”吧。
Very good.First of all, we'll take a bird's-eye view of the Park.And then we'll look around in the Park and, to use a Chinese metaphor, we'll “cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on horseback”.B:Good idea, but we'll cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on your car...in a more comfortable manner.好主意,不过我们是驱车观花,更舒服一些。
A:先生好幽默!我们言归正传吧。京河高科技园区地理位置十分优越,背靠首都北京,面向辽阔的渤海,东依京津塘高速公路,驱车30分钟可抵达首都国际机场,20分钟即可抵达首都火车货运站,一个小时可抵达天津新港。园区是经国务院批准的国家级开发区,享有项目审批权和优惠政策,是一个与国际管理体制接轨的经济区。
I really like your humor, sir.Now let me come back to our story.Jinghe High-Tech Park enjoys a superior location, with the Capital Beijing as the backdrop, facing the vast expanse of the Bo Sea, bordered by the Jingjintang Expressway to the east.It takes only 30 minutes to reach the Capital's International Airport, 20 minutes to get to the Beijing Railway Cargo Station, and an hour to arrive at the Tianjin New Harbor.The Park is a national development project approved by the State Council.It is authorized to approve projects with preferential policies, operating under the management system of international standards.B:When was it put to use?

你们是以什么方式来吸引外商直接投资的? A:园区采取有力措施改善投资环境,培育新的优势,使其成为华北地区吸纳高新技术产业、跨国公司以及大型骨干企业的乐园。园区的两大主导产业是信息技术和现代生物技术。
The Park Administration takes strong measures to improve the investment environment, to foster new competitive advantages and to make the Park and investment paradise in North China for hi-tech and new-tech companies, multinationals, and large enterprises of pillar industries.The Park's two leading industries are information technology and modern biotechnology.B:Are there any particular requirements that prospective foreign enterprises must meet?

The target industries must meet the Park's selection criteria.That is, they must strengthen research and development function, use locally available technical resources and materials, develop suitable supporting industries, and collaborate with universities and public research institutes.Multinational companies from the United States, Japan, Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Australia, Holland and Norway have settled down in the Park.The Park enjoys strong government support and has complete high-tech industry, education, and R&D.The Park provides a stream-lined one-stop service for incoming enterprises.B:The physical environment of the Park is wonderful.园区的环境真不错!
A:是的,这也是我们引以为豪的一个方面。园区坚持走“生态型开发”和可持续发展的道路。为了确保环境质量,我们始终坚持“以绿引资、以资养绿”的发展战略。园区绿化率达到45%以上,可谓绿草成茵,绿树成林,流水潺潺,鸟儿啁啾,空气清新,四季花香—环境处处素雅幽静。
Yes, it is one of the things that we take so much pride in.The Park Administration has been pursuing the policy of ecological conservation and sustainable development.To ensure the quality of the local environment, we stick steadfastly to our development strategy of “attracting investment with a green environment and maintaining a green environment through investment”.As you can see, the Park has a green coverage of more than 45%.It really boasts stretches of green grass, forests of green trees, streams murmuring, birds chirping, air refreshing, fragrant flowers blossoming all year round.The whole environment is enveloped in a peaceful, elegant and relaxing atmosphere.B:You're a real poet.Do you have independent and complete establishments for water and power supply, and for waste treatment?
你真是一位诗人。你们有独立完备的水电供应设施和垃圾处理设施吗?
A:有,园区有独立运营的技术与安保服务中心,配备有高标准水电测试设施,为企业提供可靠、稳定、优质的电力、洁净水和网络服务,以及24小时的安保服务。

第二篇:口译材料
词法、句法翻译
一、对等译法
在翻译过程中,我们一般都可以在译文语言中找到同原文中某个单词、词组或成语意义上的对等表达。因此,对等译法是翻译中最常用、最重要的翻译方法。我们在翻译中必须注意译文中所采用的对等表达是名符其实的对等表达。一般说来,汉英两种语言中单词的对等率最高,而词组、成语、谚语的对等率就要相对低一些。请看下面各组对等译法的实例。
(一)单词
1)television(名词)电视 2)electricity(名词)电 3)wheat(名词)小麦 4)坐(动词)sit 5)小(形容词)small 6)和(连接词)and 总的说来,汉英两种语言中单词的对等程度要高一些,一方面是单词的文化背景比较简单,另一方面是单词本身的语义结构比较简单。当然,两种语言中存在着差异的“对等”单词也有不少,例如:从语义上来讲,“杯子”并不完全对等于 “cup”,而是对等于 “cup + mug + glass +„”,“桌子”的对等表达是 “table + desk”,从感情色彩上来讲,“宣传”并不完全对等于 “propaganda”,“农民”并不完全对等于 “peasant”,“地主”也并不完全对等于“landlord”。
(二)成语
7)cut in a joke 插科打诨 8)speak one's mind 畅所欲言 9)be after one's own heart 称心如意 10)at one's finger-tips 了如指掌 11)fish in troubled waters 混水摸鱼 12)thousands upon thousands of 成千上万 13)in deep water 水深火热 14)turn up one's nose at 嗤之以鼻 15)skin and bones 皮包骨头 16)touch and go 一触即发 17)from the cradle to the grave 一生一世 18)hit the nail on the head 一语道破
19)充耳不闻 turn a deaf ear to 20)出人头地 be head and shoulders above other 21)吹毛求疵 pick a hole in sb’s coat 22)破釜沉舟 burn one's boat 23)大惊小怪 make a fuss about 24)大海捞针 look for a needle in a bundle of hay 25)颠倒黑白 talk black into white 26)得意忘形 have one's nose in the air 27)攀龙附凤 worship the rising sun 28)大发雷霆 hit the ceiling;fly into a rage 29)骑虎难下 ho1d a wolf by the ears 30)视而不见 turn a blind eye to 成语的对等是从3个方面体现出来的,一个是比喻意义,一个是比喻形式,再一个是感情色彩。三者中比喻意义是最重要的,当三者发生矛盾时,我们得优先保留比喻意义。感情色彩的对等同比喻意义的对等几乎同样重要。如果感情色彩不对等,这条成语就肯定不能用。至于比喻形式,能对等则应尽量对等,实在对等不了,就应当机立断,大胆放弃。
(三)谚语
31)Look before you leap. 三思而后行。32)Make hay while the sun shines. 趁热打铁。33)There is no smoke without fire. 无风不起浪。34)Ill news travels fast. 恶事传千里。35)Practice makes perfect. 熟能生巧。36)欲速则不达。More haste,less speed.
37)出门一里,不如家里。East and west,home is best.
38)拉入篮里就是菜。All is fish that comes to the net. 39)皇天不负苦心人。Everything comes to him who waits. 40)小巫见大巫。The moon is not seen when the sun shines.
谚语和成语一样,其汉英两种语言中的对等大多数也是从比喻意义、比喻形式和感情色彩等3方面体现出来的。同样,比喻意义的对等是最重要的,是翻译中必须做到的,感情色彩的对等几乎是同等重要,不可忽视,在保证这两方面的基础上,再来考虑比喻形式的对等。有不少谚语根本不包含比喻,也就不存在比喻形式的问题。有的谚语虽有比喻形式,但其比喻并不明显,去寻求这种形式上的对等翻译意义不大。
(四)英译汉句子翻译实例
41)I took the news with a grain of salt.我对这个消息半信半疑。
42)Unless you’ve got an ace up your sleeve,we are dished.除非你有锦囊妙计,否则,我们是输定了。
43)He went through fire and flood to save his mother.他赴汤蹈火去救他的母亲。
44)You have a lucky star above you.你真是福星高照.45)She is now between the devil and the deep sea on this matter.她在这个问题上真是进退维谷。
46)He is reaping what he has sown.他这是咎由自取。
47)She is an easy-going woman.She always throws her cares to the winds.她是个大大咧咧的女人,总是把忧愁抛至九霄云外。
48)That fellow is always fair without but foul within.那个家伙总是口蜜腹剑。49)That little girl has a ready tongue.那个小姑娘真是伶牙俐齿的。
50)The light-fingered gentry frequented these shops.梁上君子经常光顾这些商店。
上面10个例句中的原文都包含1条英语成语,而且都非常形象。10个译文都成功地使用了对等译法,都用对等的汉语成语进行翻译,不但做到了比喻意义和感情色彩的对等,而且尽可能做到了比喻形式的对等。成语与翻译
一、英语成语汉译
英语成语以其精辟、形象、生动等特点,牢固地确立了它在英语中的重要地位。无论是在书面语言中,还是口头语言里,英语成语都发挥着越来越显著的作用,其数量正在日益扩大、其质量也在不断升华。因此,英语成语的汉译已成为翻译工作中的突出问题。
译好英语成语并非易事。请看下面一例:
He was in the seventh heaven last night.误译:1)他昨晚到七重天去了。(七重天宾馆?)2)他咋晚去极乐世界了。3)他昨晚见上帝去了。4)他昨晚升天了。5)他昨晚归西了。
6)他昨晚见马克思去了。
„„ „„
许多人把in the seventh heaven同“升天”、“死”的概念联系起来。这是由望文生义而引起的理解错误。Longman Dictionary or English Idioms对这条成语所作的释义是“(not formal)in a state of great happiness or contentment”(非常高兴的,非常愉快的,非常满意的)。这条成语同宗教有关,七重天是指上帝和天使居住的天国最高层。言下之意,人能身居天国最高层、与上帝同处,自然是非常愉快的。因此,这条成语汉译时一定要从“愉快”、“高兴”的意义出发,如:“欢天喜地”、“欣喜若狂”、“喜出望外”、“大喜过望”、“兴高采烈”、“乐不可支”、“其乐无穷”、“心花怒放”等。
再看一个in the seventh heaven汉译的例句:
The children are in the seventh heaven with their new toys.这些孩子因有了新的玩具而欢天喜地。
接下来,我们通过英语成语的特点来探讨一下英语成语的翻译。
英语成语可分两类。一类是平铺直叙的,既无很深的含义,也无难解的典故,只是用词与搭配相对地固定。如:
1)knit one's brow 皱眉头
2)last but not least 最后但不是最不重要的一点 3)laugh in sb's face 当面嘲笑
4)lay sth to heart 把某事放在心上 5)have pity on sb 同情某人
对这类成语,我们只需从字面上去理解,翻译起来不会给我们带来什么问题,直接照字面译就是了。
另一类英语成语,有着相当明显的比喻意义,其中不少有着一定的历史或神话典故。这类成语中,有一部分因使用范围广、历史久,其字面意义和比喻意义都能为中国读者所接受。如:
1)Trojan horse 特洛伊木马——比喻暗藏的敌人或危险 2)tower of ivory 象牙之塔——比喻世外桃源 3)sour grapes 酸葡萄——相当于阿Q精神 4)Sphinx's riddle 斯芬克司之谜——比喻难解之谜
5)as wise as Solomon 像所罗门一样聪明——比喻非常富有智慧 6)the fifth column 第五纵队——比喻间谍 7)a Judas kiss 犹大之吻——比喻背叛行为 8)crocodile tears 鳄鱼眼泪——比喻假慈悲 9)wash one's hands of 洗手不干——撒手不管
10)new wine in old bottles 旧瓶装新酒——旧形式不适合新内容
对这部分英语成语,我们可以直接翻译它们的字面意义,因为一般中国读者都能理解这部分成语字面意义后面的比喻意义。
这一类英语成语中的另一部分,由于其文化背景的缘故,中国读者还不能通过它们的字面意义来理解它们的比喻意义。如:
1)in a pig's whisper 低声地;顷刻间 2)draw blood 伤人感情,惹人生气 3)hang on sb's sleeve 依赖某人,任某人做主 4)hang on sb's lips 对某人言听计从 5)make a monkey of 愚弄
6)to be full of beans 精神旺盛,精力充沛 7)bend an ear to 聚精会神地听,倾听
8)get cold feet 开始感到怀疑、胆怯或害怕 9)a skeleton at the feast 扫兴的人或东西 10)bury one's head in the sand 采取鸵鸟政策
对这部分英语成语,我们可以避开其字面意义,直接译出它们的比喻意义,以便中国读者更好地理解和接受。
英语成语有不少在比喻上同汉语成语非常相似,我们完全可以用这些相似的汉语成语来翻译英语成语。如:
1)burn the boat 破釜沉舟 2)castle in the air 空中楼阁 3)a bolt from the blue 晴天霹雳 4)six of one and half a dozen of the other 半斤八两 5)after one's own heart 正中下怀 6)one's hair stands on end 毛发倒竖 7)kill two birds with one stone 一箭双雕 8)show the cloven hoof 露出马脚 9)hang by a hair 千钧一发 10)kill the goose that lays the golden eggs 杀鸡取卵
大多数英语成语是无法在汉语中找到比喻相同或相似的对等成语的。但英汉成语之间形异却意同的对等现象有许多。翻译时,我们也不妨采用这些对等成语。如: 1)have an axe to grind 别有用心 2)talk through one's hat 胡言乱语 3)to be as poor as Job 家徒四壁 4)neither fish nor fowl 不伦不类 5)no respecter of persons 一视同仁 6)leave no stone unturned 千方百计
7)hole and corner 偷偷摸摸;鬼鬼祟祟 8)a fly in the ointment 美中不足 9)by the skin of one's teeth 九死一生 10)call a spade a spade 直言不讳
同一条英语成语,我们可根据具体的上下文,译成许多同义的汉语成语:如: 1)reap what one has sown 自作自受;自食其果;自掘坟墓;飞蛾扑火;
咎由自取;玩火自焚;惹火烧身;作茧自缚 2)be on tenterhooks 坐立不安;如坐针毡;局促不安;心乱如麻;
心烦意乱;七上八下;六神无主;手足无措
多条同义英语成语也能找到多条对等的同义汉语成语,这自然在很大的程度上增加了翻译的灵活性。如:
fish in the air 水中捞月 cry for the moon 挑雪填井 plough the sands 扬汤止沸 make a wild-goose chase 缘木求鱼 hold a candle to the sun 钻冰求酥 catch at shadows 以冰致蝇 lash the waves 以狸饵鼠 beat the air 隔靴搔痒
最后,我们讲一下翻译英语成语时很重要的一点:切莫望文生义。有一些英语成语同一些汉语成语和习惯说法,在形式上非常相似,使我们一读到这些英语成语,立刻就联想到那些汉语成语或习惯说法。其实,两者之间形似意不似,貌合神离。如: 1)pull sb's leg 误译:拉后腿
正译:愚弄某人,开某人的玩笑
2)move heaven and earth 误译:翻天覆地
正译:想方设法,千方百计 3)child's play 误译:儿戏
正译:简单的东西,容易的事情 4)eat one's words 误译:食言
正译:承认自己说了错话
5)dog-eat-dog 误译:狗咬狗
正译:残酷争夺,人吃人的关系
由此可见,翻译英语成语决非易事。我们既要做到理解正确,又要注意表达得体;既要提倡使用对等的汉语成语,又要防止望文生义、生搬硬套。
二、汉语成语英译
汉语成语的定义为:言简意赅、生动形象、比一般词语有着更强的表现力、历来为人们所喜欢用的一种精粹的语言材料。汉语成语结构稳定,绝大部分以四字格形式出现,约占百分之九十七。以四字格为主体的汉语成语不少于一万条,在政论、文艺、科技等文体中都起着极其重要的作用。在汉英翻译中,汉语成语的处理自然是一个不可忽视的问题。
以前曾有人把“胸有成竹”翻译成“have a bamboo in his stomach”,这是事故?还是奇迹?闹了一场不小的笑话。其实,这条成语很难从字面上进行翻译。它出自苏轼原语,意思是说,画家在画竹之前,先必须在脑子里产生竹的形象,比喻在做事之前心里已经有全面的考虑。对这条成语,我们只能译出它的比喻意义:“to have a well-thought-out plan before doing sth”,也可用一条意义相等的英语成语来套译:“to have a card up one's sleeve”。
哪些汉语成语可根据其字面意义翻译?哪些只能翻译比喻意义呢?这完全取决于汉语成语的字面形式和比喻形象能否为译文读者所接受。例如,“胸有成竹”译成“have a bamboo in his stomach'’,不用说外国读者无法理解,就是我们了解汉英两种语言与文化的人也不能接受。因为译文所产生的形象与原文的比喻并不一致。
我们再来看一条汉语成语翻译的实例: ’
黛玉道:“跌了灯值钱呢,还是跌了人值钱?你又穿不惯木屐子。那灯笼叫他们前头点着;这个又轻巧又亮,原是雨里自己拿着的。你自己手里拿着这个,岂不好?明儿再送来。——就失了手也有限的,怎么忽然又变出这‘剖腹藏珠’的脾气来!”(曹雪芹:《红楼梦》,第四十五回)“Which is more valuable,lamp or man? You're not used to wearing pattens.So get them to carry the horn lantern in front and take this one yourself,since it's handy and bright and meant to be used in the rain. Wouldn't that be better? You can send it back later.And even if you drop it,it won't matter.What's come over you suddenly that you want to ‘cut open your stomach to hide a pearl’?”(translated by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang)“剖腹藏珠”直接按字面译成“cut open your stomach to hide a pearl”,原文中“为了一点小利益而牺牲大利益”的形象比喻,在译文中也是那样的栩栩如生,完全能为译文读者所接受,使他们获得了英语对等成语-“penny wise and pound foolish”同样的效果。
由此可见,如果英文读者能像中文读者一样,从汉语成语的比喻中获得正确而又生动形象效果,我们便可采用像上例“剖腹藏珠”那样的直译方法。
下面的英译按原文的字面翻译,其比喻效果同原文一样生动,译文使读者能很快联想起英文中的对等成语。如:
1)竭泽而渔to drain a pond to catch all the fish(相当于kill the goose that lays the golden eggs)2)打草惊蛇to stir up the grass and alert the snake(相当于wake a sleeping dog)3)易如反掌to be as easy as turning over one s nano(相当于as easy as falling off a log)4)玩火自焚to get burnt by the fire kindled by oneself(相当于fry in one's own grease)5)挥金如土to spend money like dirt(相当于spend money like water)6)掌上明珠a pearl in the palm(相当于the apple of one's eye)7)对牛弹琴to play the lute to a cow(相当于cast pearls before swine)8)守口如瓶to keep one's mouth closed like a bottle(相当于keep a still tongue in one's head)9)雪中送炭to send charcoal in snowy weather(相当于help a lame dog over a stile)10)画蛇添足to draw a snake and add feet to it(相当于paint the lily)不少汉语成语不一定有非常对等的英语成语,但它们的字面翻译也能使译文读者得到正确无误的形象意义。如:
1)声东击西to shout in the east and strike in the west 2)刻骨铭心to be engraved on one's heart and bones 3)井底之蛙to be like a frog at the bottom of a well 4)调虎离山to lure the tiger from the mountain 5)口蜜腹剑to be honey-mouthed and dagger-hearted 有些汉语成语并没有形象的比喻意义,它们的字面意义也就是它们的实际意义。对这些成语,我们当然可以采取字面翻译。如:
1)劳苦功高to have spent toilsome labour and won distinctive merits 2)屡教不改to fail to mend one's ways after repeated admonition 3)罕不可破to be so strongly built as to be indestructible 4)攻其不备to strike sb when he is unprepared 5)史无前例to be without precedent in history 在不影响原义的前提下,我们应尽量采用这种按字面进行翻译的直译方法来处理汉语成语,从而更好地传达出原文的形式、意义和精神。
然而,汉语成语并非每条都能按字面翻译。有些成语的比喻形象是译文读者所不能接受的。如果把“眉飞色舞”死译成“his eyebrows are flying and his countenance is dancing,这势必会贻笑大方,使译文读者不知所云,莫明其妙。我们可根据该成语的实际意义灵活地翻译成“to beam with joy”。再看下面的译例: 1)粗枝大叶to be crude and careless(死译:with big branches and large leaves、2)无孔不入to take advantage of every weakness(死译:to get into every hole)3)扬眉吐气to feel proud and elated(死译:to raise the eyebrows and let out a breath)4)灯红酒绿dissipated and luxurious(死译:with red lights and green wine)5)纸醉金迷(a life of)luxury and dissipation(死译:with drunken paper and bewitched gold)6)开门见山to come straight to the point(死译:to open the door and see the mountain)7)单枪匹马to be single-handed in doing sth(死译:with a solitary spear and a single horse)8)大张旗鼓on a large and spectacular scale(死译:to make a great array of flags and drums)9)海阔天空(to talk)at random(死译:with a vast sea and a boundless sky)10)风雨飘摇(of a situation)being unstable(死译:The wind and rain are rocking.)有一部分汉语成语带着一定的中国文化背景,有的成语在字面上就含有中国古代的人名、地名,有的出自寓言或历史的典故。对这部分成语,字面翻译是无法为外国读者所接受的。如加上许多解释性文字,就失去了成语精粹的特点。我们最好的办法就是绕开其文化背景,译出其真正的内涵意义。
1)毛遂自荐to volunteer one's service(毛遂——战国时期人名)2)叶公好龙professed love of what one really fears(叶公——
中国古代传说中的人名)3)东施效颦crude imitation with ludicrous effect(东施——中
国古代一丑女的名字)4)南柯一梦a fond dream or illusory joy(南柯——中国古代传说梦中地名)5)四面楚歌to be besieged on all sides(楚——战国时期国名)6)锱铢必较to haggle over every penny(锱铢——中国古代重量单位)7)罄竹难书(of crimes)too numerous to mention(竹——中国
等国纸发明以前写字用的竹简)8)初出茅庐at the beginning of one's career(此典故出自《三国演义》)9)倾城倾国to be exceedingly beautiful(此典故出自《汉书》)10)悬梁刺股to be extremely hard-working in one's study(此典故出自《战国策》和《汉书》)
有许多汉语成语和英语成语在意义上是对等的,我们可用英语成语来翻译这部分汉语成语,给译文读者一种生动感和亲切感。如:
1)小题大做make a mountain out of a molehill 2)赴汤蹈火go through fire and water 3)洗心革面turn over a new leaf 4)七颠八倒at sixes and sevens 5)横行霸道throw one's weight about 6)大发雷霆blow one's top 7)过河拆桥kick down the ladder 8)乳臭未干be wet behind the ears 9)格格不入be like square pegs in round holes 10)魂不附体jump out of one's skin
还有这种情况,多条词义汉语成语里的任何一条可用对等的多条同义英语成语中的任何一条来翻译。如:
左右为难 between the devil and the deep sea 进退维谷 stick in the mud 骑虎难下 between the horns of a dilemma 左支右绌 between two fires 跋前踬后 in a fix(dilemma/quandary/predicament)羝羊触藩 in a cleft stick 不上不下 at a nonplus .
进退两难 hold a wolf by the ears 无所适从 with one's back to the wall 莫衷一是_ between Scylla and Charybdis 总而言之,翻译汉语成语时,为了保留原文形象,能直译则尽量直译,即按字面翻译。不能直译时,我们不能因词害义,应该翻译其实际意义。如能在英文中找到意义完全对等的成语,我们也可采用这种套译法。一般说来,正规文体中,汉语成语多采用形象的逐字翻译,非正规文体中,多采用简洁的大意翻译。

口译课心得体会
这一学期很快就要结束了,首先要感谢雪玉老师在口译课中对我的指导与帮助,谢谢雪玉老师,您辛苦了!通过这一学期的学习,我收获了很多。对口译这门课程或者说这一概念有了更深的了解,学习到了更多的理论,得到了更多的练习和锻炼,自己的各个方面都有所提高;也找到了自己在口译这一方面的缺点和不足,知道了自己在这一方面还有很多要学习和提高的方面。
首先,口译员的角色是桥梁,应该懂得双方的真实意义,找到自己的正确位置,翻译时一定要用第一人称。其次,还要明白口译与笔译的区别:工作环境不同,工作方法不同,反馈形式不同,质量标准也不同。最后,口译员首先应具备三个支柱:双语能力即听说能力,言外知识包括百科知识和专业主题知识,口译技能包括口译听辨、记忆、笔记等技能;其次,口译员还需具备口译工作的心理和身体素质,如出色的记忆力、快速的反应力等,并且要有跨文化交际的意识,以及良好的口译服务职业道德。这些都是以前我没有深刻体会过的,通过这一个学期的学习,我对口译这一领域有了全新的理解,知道了口译不仅仅是国际会议中的翻译才能称之为口译,只要有了这一翻译过程,就可以称之为口译,比如联络口译,陪同口译,社区口译,法庭口译,医疗口译等等。我以前曾经认为反正我肯定不会成为一名口译员,所以这些我不需要锻炼和练习。但是通过这一学期的学习,我懂得了口译的种类之后,我知道了自己也有可能会扮演口译员的角色,而对于口译员的能力要求我更是差得很远,但是这一个学期的练习和锻炼之后,我的听说译能力都有了很大的提高。
在这一学期中,在雪玉老师的指导下,我学习了很多的口译理论,涉及了各个方面的英语新闻,做了很多的口译笔记,学习了很多和口译方面有关的知识。首先,理论方面有释义派的理论,还有著名口译研究者Gile 提出的口译理解公式等等。这些理论使我能够更好的进行英语口译,提高自己的能力,找到自己的不足之处。这些理论让我明白听力理解对于口译很重要,对于记忆力要求很高,准备言外知识要充分。其次,口译笔记和听力理解方面有很多自己要学习、积累、加强的方面。笔记很重要,但也要正确的对待笔记存在的意义,要知道笔记是要辅助记忆力的,所以要学会记笔记。而提到笔记我不得不提的就是听力理解,要知道口译不是以前自己做听力题,口译不仅要听懂主要的意思,还要记得相关的细节,这些同样重要,因为口译员是桥梁。这两方面是我应该提高的方面,词汇量需要提高因为它是提高听力理解能力的基础,大量的练习是必须的,而涉及各个方面的新闻扩充自己的百科知识也是必不可少的一方面。
通过写这些心得体会,让我了解到自己这一学期的收获和不足,也为我下学期的学习指明了方向。听力理解和笔记方面虽然有所提高,但是还需不断加强练习,不断巩固;词汇量需要继续扩充,各类新闻应多多涉猎,扩大自己的视野;口语有所提高,但是一些音还需不断练习。综上所述,希望老师对我的分析和总结进行指导和批评,谢谢老师!
