▶重译法 / }tMb
在考博英语翻译中,有时为了忠实于原文,不得不重复某些词语,否则就不能忠实表达原文的意思。重译法有如下三大作用:一是为了明确;二是为了强调;三是为了生动。 j/h>G,>T=
We have advocated the principle of peaceful coexistence, which is now growing more and more popular among the nations of Asia and Africa. qFpRY7eq

▶增译法 ryKc7<
为了使译文忠实地表达原文的意思与风格并使译文合乎表达习惯,必须增加一些词语。 0IP5&[-P
A new kind aircraft-small, cheap, pilotless -is attracting increasing attention. xi!CZNz

▶减译法 Hyj<Fqr!.
和其他一切事物一样,翻译也是有增必有减。理解了增译法之后也就明白了减译法,它是增译法的反面。 <,Z6=M`
These developing countries cover vast territories, encompass a large population and abound in natural resources. P%nN#Qm

▶词类转译法 LKx<hl$O
在翻译时,由于两种语言在语法和习惯表达上的差异,在保证原文意思不变的情况下,译文必须改变词类,这就是词类转译法,这种方法不仅指词类的改变,而且还包括词类作用的改变和一定词序的变化。 c[n4{q1
(1)a.→v. (n>gC
The manager is grateful to the customers for their valuable suggestions. g`690

还有其它词类转移的情况,这里将不再一一赘述,总之,词类转移要遵守忠实与通顺的原则。 yN4K^#
▶词序调整法 4)zHkN+
词序调整法的英语inversion一词,不能译成“倒译”、“倒译法”或“颠倒词序”之类,否则容易和语法中的“倒装”概念相混淆。inversion作为一种翻译技巧,其意思为:翻译时对词序作必要或必不可少的改变,并不只是纯粹的颠倒词序或倒装。 SBNeN]

▶正义反译,反义正译 lebwGW,!
negation在语法与翻译两个不同学科中含义不尽相同。作为一种翻译技巧,它主要指在翻译实践中,为了使译文忠实而合乎语言习惯地传达原文的意思,有时必须把原文中的肯定说法变成译文中的否定说法,或把原文中的否定说法变成译文中的肯定说法。 j-

(2)需要反义正译的词汇是含有no或not的一些短语,如:no less than“实在是;正如;不少于”;no less…than“和……一样;不亚于”;no other than“只有;正是”;none other than(用以加强语气)“正是;恰恰是;不是别人,正是……”;nothing but“只有(是);只不过”;no choice but“别无选择只(好)得”;以及一些带有词缀的词,如:unfold“展开;呈现”;disappear“消失;失踪”;carelessly“马马虎虎地;粗心地”等。 1%R8q=_

▶分译法 t04_~e
分译法主要用于长句的翻译。为了使译文忠实、易懂,有时不得不把一个长句译成两句或更多的句子。这是分译法的主要内容,此处所谓的句子不在于结尾处用句号,而在于有无主谓结构,一般说来,含有一个主谓结构的语言部分就是一个句子。这种句子大是含有定语从句的句子,在英汉互译时,尤其在英译汉中,如能将定语从句译成前置定语,则尽量避免其他译法;如译成前置定语不合适,一般是分译成另外一个独立的句子或另一种从句,如译成状语从句等。 p;P"mp\'

▶语态变换法 zFn!>Tqe
这里所说的语态是指主动语态和被动语态,这两种语态在英汉两种语言中的使用情况是很不相同的,被动语态的使用是科技文章的主要特点之一,其用法十分广泛。在汉语中,我们可用“被、让、把、遭、换、使、由、受到,为……所”等词来表示被动。但在汉语中的被动语态使用频率比英文要低得多。因此,在遇到被动语态时,应遵循汉语的习惯,如译成被动语态不通,则译成主动语态。 ?

Goodyear, an American, had been trying for years to find a way in which rubber could be made hard, non-sticky, and yet elastic. TH%J=1d

(2)将被动改为主动

If bad weather is expected, the forecaster must be able to suggest another airport within the range of the aircraft where the weather will be suitable for landing. )
Ekd
译文:_____________________________________________________ _yu d
②将that引导的主语从句仍然译为宾语,但要加上表泛指的词语(如人们、大家、我们等)做主语。如: ^iHwv*ss
It is hoped that… "$lE~

It is reported that… uaX#nn?ws
It is said that… P Tc@MH)
It is supposed that… YEbB3N

注意:如果被动结构既有过去分词又有by(或in, for)引导的介词短语,这时将动作的发出者译成主语。如:It is imagined by many that… `Wes!>Vh!
