7. 第六章 英语翻译中的 词类转换法 • 英汉两种语言的使用范围和表达方式不尽相同，翻译时有些句子可以逐词（word-for-word）对译，如：She is a beautiful girl.“她是个漂亮姑娘。 • 此译文中的词性基本上与英语相当。 • 但在大多数情况下，翻译句子时不能逐渐词对译，如：He is a liar. 就不能直译为“他是个说谎的人，”因为汉语习惯不这样说，可译为“他爱说谎。”这样，汉语各词的词性与英语就不对应了。

8. 又如：He took his students to the factory for a visit. “他带学生到工厂去参观。” 原文中只有一个动词took，译成汉语后却出现了4个动词。可见在翻译中，有时要把原文的一种词转换成译入语的另一种词类。随着词类的变化，句子的结构也产生了变化。 • 一、转译成汉语动词 • 在英译汉时，英语中的许多意思都可以用汉语的动词来表达。例如：

9. 1）We mustn’t lose sight of the fact that air pollution is going from bad to worse in our city. 我们不能忽略这一事实，空气污染在我们城市中日益严重。 (名词转译成汉语动词) （具备动词概念的名词） • 2）The airline has been in operation for many years.（名词转译成汉语动词） • 这家航空公司已经营多年。 • 3）Do you see the boy in blue? (介词转译成汉语动词) • 你看见那位穿蓝衣服的男孩子吗？

10. 4）We were all in favor of his suggestion. • （介词转译成汉语动词） • 我们全体赞成他的建议。 • 5）Doctors have said that they are not sure they can save his life. • （形容词转译成汉语动词） • 医生们说他们不敢肯定能否救得了他的命。 • 6）He was not aware of her presence till she spoke to him.（形容词转译成汉语动词） • 直到她开口说话他才意识到她在面前。

11. 英语中表示知觉、情欲、欲望等心理状态的形容词，在系动词后做表语，往往可转译成汉语动词。常见的形容词有“confident, certain, careful, cautious, angry, sure, glad, ignorant, afraid, doubtful, aware, concerned, sorry, delighted, ashamed, thankful, anxious, grateful, able…” • 7) She opened the window to let fresh air in. (副词转译成汉语动词) • 她把窗户打开，让新鲜空气进来。

12. 二、译成汉语名词 • 1．动词译成汉语名词 • 1）Formality has always characterized their relationship. • 他们之间的关系，有一个特点，就是以礼相待。 • 2）This store features round-the-clock service. • 这家商店的特点是昼夜服务。 • 3）Your work is characterized by lack of attention to detail. • 你工作的毛病是不注意细节（或：粗心大意）。 • 如果英语动词译成汉语动词时跟前后的修饰语不好搭配；或搭配起来不符合汉语习惯，可以把动词译成名词，再在名词前加上与之搭配的动词。

13. 4）The youths always dream fondly of their future. • 年轻人对前途总是怀有美好的梦想。 • 5) Independent observers have commented favorably on the achievements you have made in this direction. • 有独立见解的观察家们对你们在这方面所取得的成就给予了很高的评价。

22. 第七章英汉翻译中的 词义的引申 • 英译汉时，有时会遇到某些词在英语词典上找不到适当的词义，如任意硬套或逐词死译，会使译文生硬晦涩，不能确切表达原意，甚至造成误解。这时就应根据上下文和逻辑关系，从该词的根本含义出发，进一步加以引申，选择比较恰当的汉语词来表达。所谓的引申，就是根据上下文的内在联系，通过句中词或词组乃至整句的字面意义由表及里，运用一些符合汉语习惯的表现法，选用确切的汉语词句，将原文内容的实质准确地表达出来。

23. 1. 逻辑引申(参看书中解释) • 逻辑引申是指在翻译过程中, 利用直译方法时, 译文不通顺以及不符合目的语的表达习惯，因而就要根据上下文的逻辑关系，对该词、短语或整个句子从其基本意义出发，由表及里，运用符合目的语习惯的表现法，选用确切的词句，将原文内容的实质准确地表达出来。例如： • 1）I’ve been slaving all these years just to make money for them. (抽象词具体化) • 我半世的辛苦，全是替他们做马牛。

24. 2）Others are conceited; having picked up some book-phrases, they think themselves terrific and are very cocky, but whenever a storm blows up, they take a stand very different from that of the workers and thegreat majority of the working peasants. • 还有些人很骄傲，读了几句书，自以为了不起，尾巴翘到天上去了，可是一遇到风浪，他们的立场，比起工人和大多数劳动农民来，就显得大不相同。（《毛泽东选集》五卷407页）cocky(骄傲自大) （具体词抽象化）

25. 3）After that long talk, Jim became the • sun in her heart. • 那次长谈之后，吉姆成了她心中的太阳。（暗喻） • 4) Every life has its roses and thorns. • 每个人的生活都有甜有苦。（这里把 roses玫瑰and thorns刺两个具 • 体形象引申为两个形象所代表的属性：甜和苦） • 5）Fatty’s Restaurant had become an • institution in his life in the last seven • years. • 去发体餐厅就餐，七年来已成了他生活中惯常的事情

26. 5）Fatty’s Restaurant had • become an institution in his • life in the last seven years. • 去发体餐厅就餐，七年来已成了他生活中惯常的事情。

27. 2. 语用引申 • 把原文的玄外之音（implication）补译出来，这是属于语用学引伸的手法。补译的词语是根据原文的语用学意义增添上去的，为的是避免译文晦涩费解。 • 1）（参看书中例句1）The new father wore a proud smile. • 2）（参看书中例句4）

28. 3) With their heavy winter clothing changed for lighter spring wear they could leap or crouch down much more freely and nimbly. • 脱掉棉衣换上春装的人们，好像卸下了千斤重载，真是蹿跳觉得轻松，爬起卧到感到利落。（冯志《敌后武工队》）原文笨重、轻便两词，含蓄地表达了“卸下了千斤重载”的含义，(此句是补译) • 3. 修词引伸 • 1）（参看书中例句1、2） • 4．概念范围的调整 • （参看书中例句1、2） • 5．词义引伸的层次 • 简化为三层（参看书中解释） • （参看书中例句1、3）

29. 6. 词义的褒贬 • 英译汉时, 原文中有些词本身就表示褒贬意义, 就应该把褒贬意义表相应地表达出来，但有些词语孤立起来看似乎是中性的, 译成汉语时就要根据上下文恰如其分地把它们的褒义或贬义表达出来。 • 1）He was a man of high renown (fame). • 他是位有名望的人。（褒）

30. 2）The task carried out by them are praiseworthy. • 他们进行的事业是值得赞扬的。（褒） • 3）His notoriety as rake did not come until his death. • 他作为流氓的恶名是他死后才传开来的。(贬) • 4）We were shocked by his course manners. • 我们对他的粗暴态度感到震惊。(贬)

43. 第十一章英语被动语态 的翻译 • 我们来学习第十一章英语被动语态的翻译。被动语态是英语中动词的一种变化形式，表示句子的谓语和其主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系。被动句的主语实际上是谓语动作的成受者。一般来说，英语被动句的翻译可以有以下四种方法。 • 一、被动句译成汉语的主动句（文中第2句） • 1. During the World Cup the streets were filled • with football fans. • 世界杯比赛期间，街上挤满了球迷（此句按顺 • 序译成汉语主动句）

44. 2. Large quantities of fuel are used by modern • industry. • 现代工业耗用大量的燃料。 • （动作发出者译成主语） • 3. The compass was invented in China four • thousand years ago. • 中国在四千年前发明了指南针。 • （把原文的某一部分译成主语）状主 • 4.
