1）第三周上课时交作业

The story1 of English is typically one of massive stealing from other languages.But how did the language of a small island off the coast of Europe become the language of the planet – more widely spoken and written than any other has ever been2?

The English composite character betrays3 a mixed origin.In the simplest terms, the making of English is the story of three invasions and a cultural revolution4.The language5 was brought to Britain by Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes6, influenced by Latin and Greek when St.Augustine and his followers converted England to Christianity, subtly7 enriched by the Danes8, and finally transformed by the French-speaking Normans.From the beginning, English was a crafty hybrid, made in war and peace.It was, in the words of Daniel Defoe, “your9 Roman-Saxon-Danish-Norman English”.In the course of one thousand years, a series of violent and dramatic events created a new language which, by the time of Geoffrey Chaucer, was intelligent to modern eyes and ears10 without the aid of subtitles.The English have always accepted the mixed blood of their language.There was11 a vague understanding that they were part of a European language family, but it was not until the 18th century that a careful investigation by a gifted amateur linguist began to decipher the true extent of this common heritage.2)第四周上课时交作业

三只小猪居无定所，有时在朋友家里过夜，有时在野外露宿，甚是缺乏安全。在储蓄了点钱后，他们决定要买一个小小的单位，一个永久的居所，一个家。

可是楼价原来是贵得惊人的。没法子小猪唯有向开士多的表舅母借钱。只是亲戚归亲戚，利息还是少不得的。三只小猪拿着它们认为是很大很大的一笔巨款，仅仅足够给一个连睡房也没有的小单位作首期，余额自然是靠把单位按给银行 – 如何按七成,如何分二十年供等等,这里也不细表。

3.英汉互译的学习心得 篇三

管理学院

***

经过了三个星期的英汉互译学习，有些体会。现就英汉翻译，谈点感想。

英汉翻译中最大的问题，莫过于不加修改的直译，在英文翻译中有几点汉语习惯是一定要注意的。

1.长句尽量改短，语序调整为汉语习惯

英文中很容易就出现从句套从句的长句，这些句子读起来本身就很难理解了，如果翻译的时候还是不加改动，那读者读起来就更难理解。我在这儿举个例子吧，就拿我自己翻译的《钉子与镇魂歌》的开头部分：The episode of the nail and the requiem was one of the most characteristic of all those in which, over a relatively brief period, I was privileged to watch Trevis Tarrant at work.刚开始读到这句话的时候，我自己也愣了好半天，因为这句话完全不是汉语的习惯，如果不假思索地直接翻译，那就是：钉子与镇魂歌的事件是最有代表性的案件之一，在短暂的时间里，这段时间是我有幸观察塔南特工作的那段时间。当然要合并成一句话，也可以这么翻译：钉子与镇魂歌的事件是我有幸观察塔南特工作的那段时间里发生的最有代表性的案件之一。天啊，阅读起来太累了，但是这句话并没有语法问题！我想在翻译的时候要牢记一点：最后形成的是汉语，阅读我们译文的是中文读者。所以在这里必须要调整语序，而且长句要改短，最后我给的译文就是：在我有幸目睹塔南特破案的短暂时光里，钉子与镇魂歌的事件应该是最有代表性的案件之一。2.定语改表语

英语中常常出现中心语前面出现两三个形容词的情况，这儿我举《绿色危机》第一章的例子：A huge, square envelope, covered with a huge, square handwriting.直译就是很大的方形的信封上面写着大气的方正的字体。看到一句话中有这么多“的”，是不是觉得很烦？虽然说现在“的地得”好像是可以混用了，但实际上“的”一般用于形容词，“得”一般用于动词后，“地”用于副 词。我不主张混用，而且还有一点：不要滥用这三个字，这三个字已经将汉语过分稀释了，影响了汉语的美观。老祖宗的文章里基本上不用这三个字，近代的文章中这三个字的使用频率也不是很高，但是现在这三个字的确已经被滥用了。我个人还是希望在翻译的时候能够控制这三个字的使用频率，具体的操作方法就是把定语改成表语。汉语不习惯长句，也不习惯中心语前面加上一连串的定语，除非是作者要刻意造成这种效果。所以这句话我最后翻译成：信封很大，呈方形，上面的字迹方正而洒脱。如果中心语前面有超过一个带上“的”的定语，那种翻译我个人是不太读得下去的。3.词语的多样性

翻译的时候根本离不开金山词霸。相信很多朋友在翻译的时候免不了要查阅一些字典。但是不知道有没有人注意过这个问题：字典上提供的解释是没有办法覆盖汉语词汇的，也就是说，一个单词字典可能只提供了一个很普通的解释，使用的是最常见的汉语词汇。但是如果你就按照这个意思进行翻译，小说的魅力定会黯然不少。还是用2中的那句话，第二个huge是形容字写得比较大，但是如果就直接翻译成字写得很大，这个翻译只能算是普通翻译。我之所以没有这样翻译，一方面是因为前面的一个huge已经翻译成大了，一个大信封，这个翻译是很贴切的。接下来我不想再重复使用大这个字，所以我翻译成了字写得很洒脱，把大这个意思包含在洒脱里面。常常人们在讨论各位翻译的风格，我想这种词语的多样性就是翻译风格的最好体现。在翻译的时候，应当身临其境，设身处地地去感受小说的行文，这样才能更好地想到应该用什么样的汉语词汇来表达，而且在适当的时候，可以用一些典故和成语，译文定会亮色不少。这儿我也举一个例子吧，《绿色危机》导读中的一句话：By its nature, a military hospital is a theater for drama and tragedy;one is not brought there unless there is a serious problem.Those who await fresh arrivals are prepared only for bad news.我翻译成：很自然地，这座战地医院成了悲剧上演的舞台。不幸的人各有各的不幸，期待着能够到这儿躲进桃源的人，最后都未能如愿以偿。这儿有王婆卖瓜之嫌，不过大家也就原谅我了吧。4.人称代词的明确

在看英文小说的时候，我发现一个很奇怪的现象：在叙述中，人称代词用的特别多，称呼名字反而多用在对话中。想想在汉语中，平常的叙述中直呼名字的 时候却占多数。在翻译《绿色危机》的时候，我很头疼的一个问题就是要花很大精力去寻找代词到底指代谁，很多时候必须要结合上下文反复推敲才能得到正确的答案，有时候还会弄错。如果翻译的时候仍然原封不动地保留这些代词，读者的阅读观感必定会受到影响。《恶意》中有句话：讲得通和合情合理是两回事，那我现在也可以说：能够读下去和流畅的阅读也是两回事。如果读者阅读的时候，反而要花大精力去明确人称代词的关系，那这本书的翻译无疑是失败的。这儿我就不举例了，相信大家都有所体会。5.押韵和双关

如果说词语的多样性可以体现翻译的风格，那么如何处理押韵和双关，则能够全面体现翻译的功力。这两项是最难翻译的，有的根本就翻译不出来。比如我就碰到一个利用you的单数和复数进行双关，想了半天实在无法翻译，最后只能加个注释了事，真的很惭愧。押韵嘛，也碰到一个，原谅我在这儿又王婆卖瓜一次，这个押韵自觉还是翻译的比较好。《绿色危机》第二章中间有一段一名护士的自言自语：forceps, retractors, scissors, knives.But Woods has marvellous legs（伍兹是另外一名护士）！这儿一开始我还没有注意到，看第二遍的时候才发觉这儿是个押韵。想了很久，大致翻译成这个样子，移动了一些词语的顺序：牵开器、剪刀、钳子、刀子，但是伍兹的腿美得不成样子！算是马马虎虎翻译出这种押韵效果了。这儿我推荐大家看看杨绛翻译的《堂吉珂德》，其中的诗句翻译相当纯熟，而且做到了押韵，从中可以学到很多翻译的方法和用语习惯。

6.理解与适当的补充

总的来说，汉语比英语环保，翻译过来的汉语占据的存储空间一般都比英语小。但是有些时候英文只需几个单词，或者一个前缀，翻译成汉语却要解释半天，而且都不一定能有英语那种效果。这就要对原句进行适当的补充。又是举《绿色危机》中的例子：Since a blowsy trollop of fifty cannot be expected to care for competition from an exquisite, self-possessed little creature of twenty-two, the ex-widow was not sorry to see her go.这句话是说一个寡妇嫁给了故事中一名护士（弗雷德里卡）的父亲，然后后妈和继女相处不快，所以后妈巴不得继女去战地医院服务，眼不见为净。请注意最后的ex-，寡妇嫁给护士的父亲后，就不是寡妇了，但是作者使用这个前缀，明显有戏谑的味道在 里面。翻译的时候要把这种味道体现出来。所以最后我花了一句话来解释：一个50岁面容粗糙的老女人，怎么可能竞争得过22岁的女孩，更何况还是一位高雅沉静的妙龄少女？所以弗雷德里卡离开家，这位寡妇高兴得很。对不起，这儿要更正一下，她现在已经不是寡妇了。如果仅仅翻译成前寡妇，我想在汉语中是体会不出这种效果的。

翻译不需要忠诚于单词，也不需要忠诚于句式。要忠诚的只是语素，是作者想要表达的信息。然后我再用汉语将意思表达完全，最后对译文进行润色加工，除了人名地名之外，我希望我的译文尽可能地贴近我们平常使用的优美汉语，不能让别人一眼就看出来是翻译文章，也不能让读者阅读的流畅感受到影响。

4.英汉互译课程心得体会 篇四

接触英汉互译快一年了，自己对翻译的认识也有很大的改变。以前，觉得翻译只要学过英语都会做的，可是现在才发现翻译是一门很大的学问。不仅要求精通英语这门语言，而且要了解英语表达习惯，同时也要具有相当好的语文功底。在翻译过程中，差了哪一点就不能有好的翻译作品。

在学习这门课的同时，也让我了解了很多关于翻译和各方面的知识。

一．了解翻译的历史。以前，完全不知道翻译这门学问是多么博大精深，而且是从古至今源远流长。知识人文在现在社会翻译才成为了必需品。在学习的过程中，我了解了翻译是从古代就开始了，远到有记载完整的时期是唐朝，发现中国上下五千年还是有很多精髓的地方等着我们去发现，这刺激我去阅读有关中国古代历史和文化相关的书。在这其中，我发现了很多新奇的知识，同时也明白自己对中国了解的实在是太少了。

二．了解翻译的流派及翻译思想。每个人对翻译的领会和认识促成了每个人对翻译有不同的理解，翻译出来的文章也就有了差异性。翻译的流派随着翻译的不断发展形成了几大翻译的派别。同时，翻译也是要受到当时社会氛围的影响的。当时需要怎样的作品来符合当时的社会环境，翻译作品就出现了，“忠实”与“不忠实”，“信、达、雅”，“直译”和“意译”等翻译思想不断出现。我们不能说哪个好，还是哪个不好，只有结合在当时的社会背景来分析翻译的作品。在这过程中，我认识了很多翻译名家，知道了有关他们的许多有趣的小故事，了解了他们对翻译的贡献与付出。这都是一个个的励志故事，无论是对我翻译和我的人生都有很大的启迪。

三．了解翻译的规律和技巧。上课期间所讲授的“重复和替换”，“增词法”等技巧，这些技巧看似通俗易懂，但是在实际运用中我还是欠缺很多。以前没接触翻译的时候，认为翻译就从字面意思翻译过来，并且语句通顺就可以了。可是上了这个课之后我才发现，翻译不仅仅是把意思翻译过来，而且要结合该国的文化背景和语言习惯表达出来，这样才算好的翻译。这点，在翻译过程中十分常见，比如“班门弄斧”在汉语中只有仅仅四个字，可是用英语翻译出来确实这样的”Don’t try to show off your proficiency with the ax before Lu Ban the master carpenter”。多达十六个字来表述这个成语，而且还会在翻译的时候加以注释，这样外国人才能从根本上明白这个成语的意思。所以这就考验我们翻译的语言能力，同时也考验对中国文化的理解能力了。

阿基尔岛

（二）多么奇特 / 奇异、多么可怜的海岛！可是似乎谁也没有觉察到这一点。上帝把他们安置在四面环海的岩石上，因此上帝有意要 / 上帝的意图是要他们呆在那里!谁敢对上帝的智慧说半个不字? 这里土质坚硬，无钱可赚，但是人们可以到英格兰，苏格兰这些外国去赚钱。这些国家，也好像由天意 / 上帝的意旨决定了似的，坐船只要短短几个小时就到了 / 位于坐船只要短短几个小时就能到达的地方。

6.英汉互译美文：Be Happy 篇六

“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield

when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.

Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.

Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.

Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles.

The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.

“使我们快乐的日子，使我们聪明。”----梅斯菲尔德

当我第一次读到英国桂冠诗人的这条路线时，它吓了一跳。梅斯菲尔德是什么意思?如果不考虑这一事实，我一直认为，相反的是真实的。但他清醒的保证被逮捕。我无法忘记它。

最后，我似乎明白了他的意思，并意识到这是一次深刻的观察。快乐带来的智慧存在于清晰的心灵感觉中，不因忧虑也不会因绝望和厌倦而黯淡模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。

积极的幸福不仅仅是满足或满足---通常是突然到来的，就像四月的阵雨或是花蕾的绽放。然后你会发现什么样的智慧伴随着它。草更绿;鸟儿的歌声更甜美;朋友的缺点也变得更加可以理解、原谅。快乐就像是一副眼镜可以矫正你的精神视力。

幸福的领悟也不局限于你周围的你。不愉快，你的.想法在你的情感困境中转向，你的愿景是被一堵墙上的。快乐，墙就会倒塌。

7.故宫英汉互译导游词 篇七

1.Americans believe no one stands still.If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind.This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring.Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor.美国人相信没有人能够停止不前。如果你不求进取，就会落伍。这样一种态度造就了一个投身研究、试验和探索的民族。时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另外一个是劳力。

2.“We are slaves to nothing but the clock,” it has been said.Time is treated as if it were something almost real.We budget it, save it, waste it , steal it, kill it, cut if, account for it;we also charge for it.It is a precious resource.Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime.Once the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced.We want every minute to count.人们一直说，“只有时间才能支配我们”。人们把时间当着一个差不多是实实在在存在的东西来对待。我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用做出解释；我们还要因付出时间收取费用。时间是一件宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。时光一去不复返。我们应当让每一分钟都过的有意义。

3.Consequently, we work hard at the task of saving time.We produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices;we communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts, which though pleasant, take longer—especially given out traffic-filled streets.We, therefore, save most personal visiting for after-work hours or for social weekend gatherings.因此，我们千方百计的节约时间。我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话、发电子邮件与他人快速交流，而不是通过直接接触。虽然面对面接触令人愉悦，却要花更多时间，尤其是在马路上交通拥挤的时候。因此，我们把大多数个人拜访安排在下班后的时间和周末的社交聚会上。

4.The US is definitely a telephone country.Almost everyone uses the telephone to conduct business, to chat with friends, to make or break social appointments, to say “Thank you”, to shop and to obtain all kinds of information.Telephones save the feet and endless amounts of time.This is due partly to the fact that the telephone service is superb here, whereas the postal service is less efficient.美国无疑就是一个电话王国。几乎每个人都使用电话做生意、和朋友聊天、安排或取消社交约会，表达谢意，购物和获取各种信息。电话不但免去了走路之劳，而且能节约大量时间：美国的电话服务时一流服务，而邮政服务的效率则差一些。

2.There is a deep hurt that I feel as a mother.Some days it is a feeling of uselessness.I remember how carefully I ate when I was pregnant, how patiently I taught my daughter how to cross a street safely.For what, I sometimes wonder;so that she can struggle to breathe through most of her life feeling half her strength, and then die of self-poisoning, as her grandfather did? 作为母亲，我感到了深深的痛苦。有时我有一种无能为力的感觉。我记得怀孕时，吃东西的时候是 多么小心啊，之后教育女儿如何安全过马路时，是多么的耐心。我有时纳闷，自己这样做到底是为了什么？难道是为了她今后有气无力的挣扎着呼吸，然后就像她外公一样自己把自己毒死？
