英语四级翻译积累训练6
我是个翻译实践者,不是纯理论家,在此无意提出似乎放之四海而皆准的抽象理论,而意在对自己多年的翻译(尤其是诗译)经验做一些总结,从中归纳出“几要几不要”,作为也许只适用于我自己的个人理论或主张。
我所谓“准确”大略相当于严复的“信”。严夫子说:“求其信而大难矣”。我说:“信则万事毕矣”。准确有很多方面的含义。首先是意义的准确,这似乎无庸赘言。但是,诗与散文不同,它的内容与形式是有机地统一的,换句话说,即诗的意义至少部分是体现在形式之中的。所以,翻译散文可以“得意而忘言”,译诗则不可以。
【答案解析】
答案:
I am a translation practicer,not a pure theorist.Therefore,what I am intending to put forward here is not any abstract theory that seems to be universally true,but a summary of my years of translation experience,especially that of poetry transaltion,in the from of Dos and Don'ts,as personal theory or principle applied perhaps only to me myself.
“Accuracy”I have mentioned roughly equals to “faithfulness”advocated by Yan Fu.Master Yan once said,“Faithfulness is hard enough to attain”,while,to me,“faithfulness is everything”.Accuracy has more than one.implications.First of all,it's needless to say that it implies the exactness of meaning.Yet,poetry is different from prose in that the content and form of poetry are organically integrated.In other words,the meaning of poetry is partly conveyed through its original form at least.Therefore,we may focus on the meaning ignoring the exact words used when translating prose,but it is not the case when translating poems.
分析:
1.我是个翻译实践者,不是纯理论家
“翻译实践者” translation practicer和translation practitioner均可。
“纯理论家” pure theorist和doctrinaire均可。
2.严夫子说:“求其信而大难矣”。我说:“信则万事毕矣”。
“严夫子”Master Yan
“信则万事毕” faithfulness is everything(忠实于原文就万事大吉了)。
英语四级翻译积累训练二:
一位师范教师提醒家长,千万不要迷信专家和特殊的早教方案,家长自己才是孩子早期教育最好的老师。
受狭隘早教观念影响,一些年轻父母热衷于迷信专家和特定环境的亲子游戏,将孩子送进早教机构接受某种方案的专门训练。科学研究表明,无论是“小学化”式的超常教育,还是盲目跟风的特长教育,既违背婴幼儿身心发展规律,又脱离孩子天性和兴趣,不仅难以收到成效,还可能为孩子长远发展埋下隐患。
【答案解析】
答案:
A teacher from normal school reminded the parents should not blindly believe in the special programs for children's early education and some experts,because the parents themselves were the best teachers of the children's early education.
Influenced by some narrow early education view,some young parents are eager to worship the experts' opinions and some parents-children games in specific environment.They send the children to the early education institutes for specific trainings of some program.The scientific research indicates that either the supernormal education of “primary school”style or some blindly specialty education violates the body and mind development rules of infants and preschool children and also deviates from the nature and interest of children.It is hard to gain results and probably leave behind a hidden trouble for the chidren's long term development.
分析:
科学研究表明,无论是“小学化”式的超常教育,还是盲目跟风的特长教育,既违背婴幼儿身心发展规律,又脱离孩子天性和兴趣,不仅难以收到成效,还可能为孩子长远发展埋下隐患。
长句我们可以按照句中内在逻辑结构进行分析,这里最后的“不仅…还可能”,这两个分句就是后果,我们可以单独把它们翻译为一句,同时“科学研究表明”后面接一个宾语从句,“超常教育”,“特长教育”可以作为该宾语从句的主语,“违背…”和“脱离…”作为宾语从句的谓语动词短语。
