翻译第五章不同文体的翻译

1、第五章 不同文体的翻译,目 录,一 法律文件的翻译,二 文学的翻译,三 旅游材料的翻译,四 新闻报道的翻译,五 会话的翻译,六 论文摘要的翻译,七 应用文的翻译,八 有中国特色的文章的翻译,回目录,一. 法律文件的翻译,法律文件的翻译,法律文件包括法令、协议、合同等，其主要特点是准确严 谨，文体庄严，在遣词造句和行文格式方面都有非常严格 的要求。,法律文件使用专业术语，措辞不带感情色彩。而英语法律 文件常使用一些在其他领域已经停止使用的古体连词和虚 词，使法律文献更加正式。所以英译汉的时候可以把这些 无实际意义的词语删去，而汉译英的时候，则应适当选用。,法律文件的翻译,例1： The part

2、ies hereto shall, first of all, settle any dispute arising from or in connection with the contract by friendly negotiations. Should such negotiations fail, such dispute may be referred to the Peoples Court having jurisdiction on such dispute for settlement in the absence of any arbitration clause in

3、 the disputed contract or in default of agreement reached after such dispute occurs. 解析：双方首先应通过友好协商，解决因合同而发生的或与合同有关的争议。如果协商未果，合同中无仲裁条款约定或争议发生后未就仲裁达成协议的，可将争议提交有管辖权的人民法院解决。 解析：本句中的shall和may表达准确。出现争议后应当先行协商，所以使用shall表示义务性约定；如果无法协商解决，作为当事人的权利，使用may表示选择性约定，也很妥当。如果may和shall调换位置会怎么样？前半句的shall换用may后，意思变成了当事

4、人可以通过协凋解决，缺乏法律文件的严谨性。但后半句的may换用shall后，变成了应当诉公解决，好象一出事，就要打官司，这就有些不友好了。再者，副词hereto也无实际意义。,法律文件的翻译,例2：If the insured property enumerated in the Schedule is more than one item, the provision of this clauses shall apply to each thereof. 译文：如本保险所载项目不止一项时，赔款按本规定逐项计算。 解析：使用了法律常用古语thereof，但并无实际意义。 例3：本合同自买方和

5、建造方签署之日生效。 译文：This Contract shall come into force from the date of execution hereof by the Buyer and the Builder. 解析：使用了hereof，并无实际意义。,实际上，这种公文语惯用副词为数并不多，而且构词简单 易记。常用的这类副词是由here、there、where等副词分 别加上after、by、in、of、on、to、under、upon、with 等副词，构成一体化形式的公文语副词。例如：,从此以后，今后：hereafter 此后，以后：thereafter 在其上：hereo

6、n, thereupon 在其下：thereunder 对于这个：hereto 对于那个：thereto 在上文：hereinabove, hereinbefore 在下文：hereinafter, hereinbelow 在上文中：thereinbefore 在上一部分中：thereinafter,回目录,法律文件的翻译,回目录,法律文件的翻译,练习,将下列句子译成汉语。,1 持票人对背书人、发票人及其他债务人的追索权，自 规定的提示期限期满起六个月内不行使者，因失时效而终 止。,2任何缔约国都可以适用其本国法律，要求集体商标或 证明商标的所有人向其国家主管机关提供一些证件或其他 证明，特别

8、责赔偿在本保险单明细表中列明的 保险期限内被保险人的保险财产遭受的损坏或灭失，特立 本保险单为凭。,7作为所协议事项的证据，缔约双方自上述日期起由其 正式授权的高级职员或代表执行本合约。本合约使用语言 为英语，一式两份。,回目录,法律文件的翻译,二. 文学的翻译,文学的翻译,回目录,文学是文化内涵最丰富的文体，文化的差异往往是最难传 达的。茅盾曾经说过，文学是“用一种语言，把原作的艺 术意境传达出来，使读者在读译文的时候能够像读原作时 一样得到启发、感动和美的感受”。文学翻译必须是文学。 因此从某种意义上讲，文学翻译难度最大。文学翻译的要 点是译出文体色彩和感情色彩，很多时候需要灵活和变通。,

9、文学有小说、诗歌、戏剧和散文等形式。翻译文学作品， 就要研究各种文学体裁的具体语言特点，从而确保译文的 准确与风格。,文学的翻译,例 1: 沿着荷塘，是一条曲折的小煤屑路。这是一条幽僻的路；白天也少人走，夜晚更加寂寞。荷塘四面，长着许多树，蓊蓊郁郁的。路的一旁，是些杨柳，和一些不知道名字的树。没有月亮的晚上，这路上阴森森的，有些怕人。今晚却很好，虽然月光也还是淡淡的。 曲曲折折的荷塘上面，弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高，像亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间，零星地点缀着些白花，有袅娜地开着的，有羞涩地打着朵儿的；正如一粒粒的明珠，又如碧天里的星星。微风过处，送来缕缕清香，仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声

10、似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的颤动，像闪电般，霎时传过荷塘的那边去了。,文学的翻译,译文： A path paved with coaldust zigzags along the lotus pond, so secluded as to be little frequented in the daytime, to say nothing of its loneliness at night. Around the pond grows profusion of luxuriant trees. On one side of the path are some willows and ot

11、her trees whose names are unknown to me. On moonless nights, the place has a gloomy, somewhat forbidding appearance. But on this particular evening, it has a cheerful look, though the moon was still pale. On the uneven surface of the pond, all one could see was a mass of leaves, all interlaced and s

12、hooting high above the water like the skirts of slim dancing girls. The leaves were dotted in between the layers with white flowers, some blooming gracefully； others, as if bashfully, still in bud. They were like bright pearls and stars in an azure sky. Their subtle fragrance was wafted by the passi

13、ng breeze, in whiffs airy as the notes of a song coming faintly from some distant tower. There was a tremor on leaf and flower, which, with the suddenness of lighting, soon drifted to the far end of the pond.,解析：朱自清的散文荷塘月色优美动人，满篇皆让人 感到作者笔下轻灵的气氛，无尽的月色与作者的内心融合 得天衣无缝。而译文在描写荷花这部分景色的时候，使用 了大量的修饰词语，恰当地表现出

14、了其特点。 荷花部分的译文则不同，如：all interlaced and shooting high above the water like the skirts of slim dancing girls，some blooming gracefully; others, as if bashfully, still in bud。荷花的淡雅与轻盈以及带给人的愉悦形成了 绝妙的对照。也充分传达了文章的内在感情色彩。,文学的翻译,回目录,钗头凤 陆游 红酥手， 黄縢酒， 满城春色宫墙柳。 东风恶， 欢情薄， 一怀愁绪， 几年离索。 错，错，错！ 春如旧， 人空瘦。,泪痕红浥鲛绡透。 桃花落

No word to her can go. No, no, no!,文学的翻译,回目录,文学的翻译,回目录,解析：从中国古典诗词中的翻译中，无疑可以看到语言文 化的强烈的不对等性。如诗词固有的曲牌，限定了诗的格 式与韵律，寥寥数语，而内

17、涵无限。虽然译文有了新的韵 脚，但原有的格律和韵味在译文中完全消失了。又如原文 中提到的“鲛绡”，华美织物的质地引人联想，更易于体验 作品的感情与色彩。而译文就只有kerchief了。又如三个 “莫”字，如此强烈，如此无奈，如此动人心魄，又岂是no 所能够表达出来的呢！但除了这些无可改变的遗憾外，译 文还是较为完整地体现了原诗的精髓。如Spring paints the willows green与palace walls cant confine恰当地描 绘了生机盎然的春意。而紧接其后的East wind unfair与 Happy times rare两句，又巧妙地点出了作者的愁绪。,例3

18、:,Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. 2. 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. 3. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but

19、 the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. 4. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar. ,Of Studies,by Francis Bacon,回目录

46、左有一巨石，石上原有苏东坡手书“云外流春”四个 大字。,译文：To its left is another rock formerly engraved with four big Chinese characters “Yun Wai Liu Chun” (Beyond clouds flows spring.) written by Su Dongpo (10371101), the most versatile poet of the Northern Song Dynasty (9601127).,解析：“云外流春”是什么意思？苏东坡又是谁？翻译中都 增加了必要的解释。,在旅游材料中，

47、有不少东西是中国传统历史文化特有的产 物，在英语中没有对等概念，如果直译，会引起误解，甚 至根本让人看不懂，而如果意译，又过于麻烦，事倍功半。 这时候，可以适当地删减。,例：早在春秋时，吴王阖闾使弟夫概于此筑城为王邑。因 城狭而长，故名长城，距今已有2 500多年的历史。至五 代后梁开平二年（908年），吴越王钱镠避朱温庙讳，改 长城县为长兴县，长兴县由此始。,旅游材料的翻译,回目录,译文：Changxing has a history of more than 2,500 years.

48、BC476 BC) under the order of the king of Wu Kingdom, it was named Changcheng (Long City) for its long and narrow shape. It was renamed Changxing County in 908 by Qian Miu, the first king of Wuyue Kingdom. Hence is the name of the county.,解析：如果要解释例句中的“五代后梁开平二年”和“避朱 温庙讳”，恐怕要重新写一篇文章了。所以，直接点出时 间in 908，后

49、者干脆省掉了，不影响译文的理解。,旅游材料的翻译,回目录,汉语材料往往使用较为夸张的修饰性语言，用优美的书面 语来体现被描写的事物，而英语译文则显得更为平实，许 多修饰性的语言均省略。此外，在景观类的描写中，汉语 有极强的使用四字格的倾向，且这些四字词语有极强的书 面语色彩；而英语中的文字则没有这种特点。所以，在汉 译英时， 那些华丽的四字格诗化语言只能被简化，而英 译汉时，则需要添加一些四字格词语以增强感染力与文采。,旅游材料的翻译,回目录,例1：夜晚，凭栏远望珠江上的白鹅潭，皓月当空，繁星 闪闪，舟楫穿梭，鹅潭美景，一览无遗。,译文：Look into the distance and y
