29、运用顺应译语衔接规范的成篇手段,并能扬长避短,对原文的衔接方式作必要的转换与变通,则可以帮助我们达到对等的成篇效果。这一思路即衔接意识。衔接意识的形成除了有赖于译者对语篇的整体把握外,还有赖于其对衔接手段的了解。,译文和原文一样,是一个完整的语篇,译文能否为读者接受,正如原文能否为读者所接受一样,在很大程度上依赖于全文连贯与否;连贯又在很大程度上依赖于各种衔接手段的运用。我们应该认识到许多衔接手段是汉语和英语共有的,然而,英语的使用频率高于汉语。合理使用衔接手段能够非常有效地提高汉译英的译文质量。,Coherence,consistent to the situational context.
