4、y provide the most basic definitions, the translation of extended, choice and pay attention to the praise or blame. As long as the basic meaning with the word, you can, in order to adapt to the ever-changing the need, the text unobstructed, rich and colorful, vivid and lively. 1. Select Chinese and
5、English word meaning of all have abundant vocabulary, but two languages corresponding term can absolutely, polysemy is two kinds of language in terms of the common features.

Meaning implied method in translation, often met this case that some word in the dictionary can not find the appropriate on word meaning, if press the literal meaning to translation, it is difficult
7、to exact expression original text content, and even cause the misunderstanding of the readers. When it is necessary to the original according to the context of the meaning of the word or phrase meaning extended, select the most appropriate Chinese vocabulary to express. For example: (1) Application
8、of laser in medicine is still in its infancy.激光在医学中的应用仍处于发展的初期。(2) There are two sorts of lawyers- - - the ones who know the law, and the ones who know the judge. 有两种律师,一种精通法律,一种熟识法官3. The meaning of words to praise or blame loyalty to the original ideological content, the translation of the authors
9、 must be correctly understood the basic position and views, choose the proper language means to be expressed. Some of the words in the original itself says praise or blame meaning, you should put praise or blame meaning correspondingly, express For isolated see seems to be neutral words according to
10、 the context, when translation will be properly put their BaoYi or derogatory expression comes out. (1) She tried going through the first pages, but Irwin Shaw, for all his lucidity, could not hold her interest. 她翻了翻前面几页。虽然欧文肖文笔明白晓畅,可她还是看不进去。(2) The people will stop your profiteering schemes, and th
11、e people will win. 人民将阻止你们牟取暴利的诡计。 Second, abstract and concrete translation 1. Concrete translation methods of translation, the so-called specific is in the course of translation in the original abstract or is more abstract words, phrases and idioms with concrete or sentence is more specific words,
12、 phrases, idioms or sentence to translation, thus eliminating or minimizing language differences to the losing of translation to make the translation and the original, produce the same effect. For example: (1) Parents can do a tremendous amount to help their kids learn to read, but pushing them befo
13、re theyre ready can backfire. 父母可以做大量工作帮助孩子学会看书,但若超过孩子的智力与愿望,强迫学习,反而事与愿违。(2) He lived just outside town and came to the harbor often, looking for a bargain among the small craft.他住在近郊,常来码头,想拣便宜买条小船。2.

14、the original or specific image of the words, phrases and idioms or sentence, culture-sensitive processing. This translation methods is called the abstract pressure. For example: (1) I have no head for music.我没有音乐方面的天赋。(2)那位小伙子真是喝了大胆汤。That young man has great courage, indeed.Three, turn a translation

Therefore, the source language into the target language in s
16、ome parts of speech when translated into the parts of speech does not necessarily will sometimes, according to the needs of the target language should be translated into another kind of parts of speech. At this moment, need some of the original parts of speech, to make the conversion to smooth, natu
17、ral. For example: (1) Each time out was a continuation, not a repetition. 每出游一次,都是上次的继续而不是重复。(副词转动词)(2) He is physically weak, but mentally sound.(副词转译成名词)他身体虽弱,但思想健康。 四、Adverbs translated into a noun1.

19、 loyal to the word, to the original, smooth the content and form of accurately reappear. English is not, auxiliary words, when Chinese measure words should be based on the context of the need to increase and auxiliary measure words; Chinese nouns dont have the concept of plural verb tenses, no chang
20、e if necessary, translation should be more complex and watch the tense watch word, and so on. For example:(1) In the evening, after the banquets, the concerts and the table tennis exhibition, he would work on the drafting of the final communique. 晚上在参加宴会、出席音乐会、观看兵乓球表演之后,他还得起草最后公报。(2) Ambition is the

22、 in the translation of those who dont have to save the word translations, or and the language. Habit is not consistent with words, but is not omit, bypassing the version of the content. From a grammar point, can be saved in the original omitted pronouns, conjunction, prepositions, etc. For example:
23、(1) He was born in 1960, on a small farm in northern Missouri. 他 1960年生于北密苏里的一个小农场。(省略介词)(2) University applicants who had worked at a job would receive preference over those who had not. 报考大学,有工作经验者优先录取。 3. Repetition to avoid repetition, and English is not afraid of Chinese repetition. English in
24、order to avoid repeated often use a verb by several object or complement; Or a verb, behind the same verbs omitted or a lot they can use to avoid duplication nouns, pronouns Chinese meet the above situation can be used when a word gimmick. Repeat In fact, repeat pronouns represents the noun is to re
25、duce the use of the pronoun a method of use. (1)People forget your face first, then your name. 人们首先忘记你的面孔,然后忘记你的名字。(2) Reading exercises ones eyes; speaking, ones tongue; while writing, ones mind. 阅读训练人的眼睛,说话训练人的口才,写作训练人的思维。 Five, the positive and negative translation is the main translation and tra

Because two language habits chinese-english different, and all can be positive or negative from to express the same concept, translation with positive expressions if the difficulties, owe it might as well with the reverse smooth express or will the face expression
27、 to switch to positive expressions. The translation of this method can properly by using natural and fluent, conform to make the Chinese standard, the more appropriate to express the meaning of the original. For example: (1) It takes two to make a quarrel. 一个巴掌拍不响。(2) To a wise man one word is enoug

29、ation, the simple sentence can be translated into complex sentences, or will the compound sentence translated into simple sentences, this is called points and others.0 translation. 1. Points is the translation points in the sentence translation some ingredients isolated another for processing, trans
30、lated into independent of the original sentence, the simple sentence translated into the target language of two or more sentences.

33、d place, and Chinese often is first big small, and after the first English is small, big. The translation should be according to the target language expression way make any necessary adjustments.

35、 in the original, there are many things that, even if the accurate translation out, readers are not able to understand, it must be comments. For example:“Are you an agha, too?”“My friend, those guys were not treatingus like men, that is, aghas”“Im an agha.”“你也是一个阿加吗?”“朋友,这帮家伙没有拿我们当人看。我是说,他们没有拿我们当阿加看
