英译汉翻译方法介绍 词的翻译(一)
方法介绍:
  一、词义的选择(selecting)
  英文是含糊的语文(ambiguous language),因此在翻译中遇到最多的问题就是词义的选择。解决办法:根据语境(context)即上下文来确定词义,翻译的最小单位是句子而不是词。
  1.有许多词是一词多义
  例如:term n. 学期,术语,说法,条款
  stand v. 站立,位于,忍受,承受
  bank n. 银行,河岸 story n. 故事,楼(层)
  2.还有许多词是一词多种词性,而且词义也不同。
  例如:book n. 书 v. 预定
  run v. 跑,n. 一次出生(或一起饲养)的动物
  rest v. 休息 n. 其余(的东西)
  sound n .声音 v. 听起来 a. 合理的,健康的 ad. 彻底地
  二、词类转译(changing
  1. 名词与动词的转换
  It'smy pleasure to have you for dinner. (n.-v.) 很高兴能请你吃饭。
  Tell me what this word means. ( v. -n.) 告诉我这个词的意义。
  2.介词译成动词
  I'mnot against your opinion.我不反对你的观点。
  She went to shop for tea .她去商店买茶叶。
  He lay down on the bed in hisclothes.他穿着衣服躺在床上。
  3.表语形容词译成动词
  有一些表示心理状态的形容词,一般只能作表语,例如:afraid, glad, sorry, fond, sure,alive, asleep, awake, able/unable, aware/unaware
  I'mafraid he is out . 我担心他出去了。 I'm sure you are right. 我肯定你是对的
  4.其他词类间的转换
  参看教材P288 例句
  三、增词(adding)
  1.有一些英文句子,按照字面翻译,意义不完全,此时必须加词才符合汉语的习惯
  Mother was hanging out the wash. 妈妈把洗好了的衣服挂起来。
  We can room together. 我们可以住一间屋。
  2.实体名词:Air China 中国国际航空公司
  3.抽象名词:tension 要根据具体语境,译成紧张(情况、关系、局势或心情)。
  教材P318 例句
  4.名词复数:dogs 几只狗,一些狗
  5.时态:完成时译成,已经...了;进行时译成,正在...;过去时译成,曾经...了
  6.状语:根据不同的目的、原因、让步等状语,分别译为:为了...,由于...,虽然...
  四、减词(omitting)
  一些可有可无的词,意义已经体现于译文中了,可以省略不译
  1.省略主语:One will fail unless he workshard. 不努力就会失败。
  2.省略物主代词:He is keeping his bed. 他正卧床养病。
   I'll try my best . 我尽力而为。
  3.省略连接词:Sunday is the day when I am notbusy. 星期天是我不忙的日子。
  五、重复(repeating)
  1.为了表示强调而重复
  What we want is to learn,to learn and to learn.
  Taxes,taxes and more taxes
  2.为了重复代词所替代的原词
  The country has its advantage. 农村有农村的优势。
  教材P 322 例句
  3.为了表达明确具体,重复英文中省略的词
  We have to learn to analyze andsolve problem. 我们必须学会分析问题解决问题。
