1、第九章 汉英语组织手段对比,我们过了江，进了车站，我买票，他忙着照看行李。张培基：we entered the railway station after crossing the River.While I was at the booking office buying a ticket,father saw to my luggage.杨宪益：we crossed the Yangze and arrived at the station,where I bought a ticket while he saw to my luggage.,第一节 意合与形合 一、什么是“形合”与“意合
2、”形合与意合 语言的两种基本组织手段,西洋语的结构好像连环，虽则环与环之间都联络起来，毕竟有联络的痕迹；中国语的结构好像天衣无缝，只是一块一块地硬凑，凑起来还不让它有痕迹。西洋语法是硬的，没有弹性，中国语法是软的，富有弹性的。惟其是硬的，所以西洋语法有许多呆板的要求，如每一个clause里必须有一个主语；惟其是软的，所以中国语法只以达意为主，相关的两件事可以硬凑在一起，不用任何的connective word.王力中国语法理论,When he was drunk,he used to beat his wife and daughter;and the next morning,with a
3、headache,he would rail at the world for its neglect of his genius,and abuse,with a good deal of sour expression,and sometimes with perfect reason,the fools,his brother painters.(Chapter II,Vanity Fair)他一喝醉酒，就会打老婆孩子。第二天早晨，他便会头疼，抱怨世人不识其才华，斥责画界同行都是白痴。他的话很尖刻，但有时也很有道理。,英语“硬的”一面，首先在于其对以主谓结构为核心的形式结构的“呆板要求”
4、；汉语“软的”一面，在于其“富于弹性”的形式结构，承载信息的具体语言实体各式各样，不需要按照英语的主谓结构那样一一对号入座。,形合：借助语言形式手段（包括词汇手段和形态手段）来实现词语或句子的连接。即词语和语句之间的连接主要依仗连接词或语言形态变化来实现，其实质是关联词的撑持。意合：不借助语言形式手段而借助词语或句子所含意义的逻辑联系来实现词语或句子的连接。前者注重语言形式上的接应；后者注重行文意思上的连贯。,二、英语的形合表现1、关系词和连接词关系词：关系代词、关系副词、连接代词、连接副词如：who,whom,whose,that,which,what,when,where,why,how用
5、来连接主句和定语从句、主语从句、宾语从句或表语从句。连接词：并列连词和从属连词如：and,or,but,yet,so,however,as well as,eitheror,neithernor when,while,as,since,until,sothat,unless,lest 用来连接词、词组、分句或状语从句。,1）她们正打架，不巧被我撞见了。I happened to be present when they were having a fight.2）All was cleared up some time later when news came form a distant p
6、lace that earthquake was felt the very day the little copper ball fell.过了一些时候，从远方传来消息：在小铜球坠落的当天，确实发生了地震。这一切终于得到了澄清。,3）It had been a fine,golden autumn,a lovely farewell to those who would lose their youth,and some of them their lives,before the leaves turned again in a peacetime fall.那是个天气晴朗、金黄可爱的秋天
7、，美好的秋色为那些青年人们送别。待到战后和平时期，黄叶纷飞的秋天再度来临时，当日的青年已经失去了青春，有的丧失了生命。,2、介词简单介词：with,to,in,of,about,between,through合成介词：inside,onto,upon,within,without,throughout成语介词：according to,along with,apart form,because of,in front of,on behalf on,with regard to,1）好不容易才说服她照我的想法办。With some difficulty I brought her round
8、to my way of thinking.2）Change of information,if any,concerning the contents of this section will be found in the appendix at the end of this book.本节内容如有更改，均见本书末附录。,3、其他连接手段形态变化形式（词缀变化，动词、名词、代词、形容词、副词的形态变化）广泛使用代词以保持前后呼应的关系使用it和there作替补词起连接作用 只见那个理发师俯下身，听小姑娘说，她要什么发式。Leaning down to hear the little gi
9、rl,the barber listened to her about the style she wanted.,4、综合使用形合手段 1）He boasts that a slave is free the moment his feet touch British soil and he sells the children of the poor at six years of age to work under the lash in the factories for sixteen hours a day.他吹嘘说，任何奴隶一踏上英国的土地就获得自由，而他却出卖穷人家六岁的孩子到
10、工厂干活，每天十六小时，受尽鞭打责骂。,2）There is nothing more disappointing to a hostess who has gone to a lot of trouble or expense than to have her guest so interested in talking politics or business with her husband that he fails to notice the flavor of the coffee,the lightness of the cake,or the attractiveness of
11、 the house,which may be her chief interest and pride.最令女主人失望的是，她花了许多心神或费用用来招待客人，可是这位客人只顾津津有味地与她丈夫谈政治、谈生意，却没注意到香喷喷的咖啡，松软的糕点，或房间内讲究的陈设，而这些却可能是她感到兴趣并引以自豪的主要所在。,三、汉语的意合表现 1、语序 他不老实，我不信他。1）Because hes not honest,I cant trust him.我不信他，他不老实。I cant trust him,because hes not honest.2）人（若）不犯我，我（则）不犯人。We will
12、not attack unless we are attacked.,3）说是说了，没有结果。（=我虽然说了，但是没有结果。）Ive made proposals,but they proved futile.4)打肿脸充胖子，吃亏的是自己。If you get beyond your depth,you will suffer.,2、用反复、排比等词句整齐匀称的句式1)他不来，我不去。If he wont come here,Ill not go there.2)种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。As you sow,so will you reap.3)聪明一世，糊涂一时。Smart as a rule
13、,but this time a fool.4)不入虎穴，焉得虎子。If one does not enter the tigers den,how can he get a tigers cub?,3、紧缩句 所谓紧缩，即将复句内部的语音停顿取消，同时缩略原有的某些成分，特别是形式类的关联词而形成的句子形式。1)上梁不正下梁歪。If the upper beam is not straight,the lower ones will go aslant.When those above behave unworthily,those below will do the same.,2)有饭大

16、 forward,or youll fall behind.玩火自焚 Whoever plays with fire will perish by fire.,“如果说西方语言的句子脉络是一种以动词为中心的空间结构体,那么汉语句子的脉络是一种具有逻辑天籁的心理时间流,它不像西方语言的句子那样以动词为中心搭起固定框架,以形役意,而是以意义的完整为目的,用一个个语言板块(句读段)按逻辑事理的流动,铺排的局势来完成内容表达的要求”,校长召开大会动员全体教师教育好学生遵守一切规章制度。The school master held a meeting,demanding that all the tea
17、chers should guide their students to follow the schools disciplines.,“知彼知己，百战不殆；不知彼而知己，一胜一负；不知彼不知己，每战必殆。”（若）知彼（而又）知己，（则）百战不殆；（若）不知彼而知己，（则）（将）一胜（及）一负；（若）不知彼（而又）不知己，（则）每战（将）必殆。You can fight a hundred battles without defeat if you know the enemy as well as yourself.You will win one battle and lose one
18、battle if you know yourself but leave yourself in the dark about the enemy.You will lose every battle if you leave both the enemy and yourself in the dark.,四、意合形合对翻译的影响1、英译汉隐含某些形式连接成分 And with this and a proud bow to his patrons,the manager retires,and the curtain rises.领班的说到这里，向各位主顾深鞠一躬退到后台，就开幕了。,H

21、 Palace(Herbert A.Giles)Deserted now the Imperial bowers,Save by some few poor lonely flowers One white-haired dame An Emperors flame,Sits down and tells of bygone hours.,行宫 寥落古行宫，宫花寂寞红。白头宫女在，闲坐说玄宗。(2)The Ancient Palace(W.J.B.Fletcher)The ancient Palace lies in desolation spread.The very garden flow

23、科学才有希望。We must promote science,for that is where our hope lies.,前几天，狼子村的佃户来告荒，对我大哥说，他们村里的一个大恶人，给大家打死了；几个人便挖出他的心肝来，用油煎炒了吃，可以壮壮胆子。我插了一句嘴，佃户和大哥便都看我一眼。今天才晓得他们的眼光，全同外面的那伙人一模一样。A few days ago a tenant of us from Wolf Cub Village came to report the failure of the crops and told my elder brother that a noto
24、rious character in their village had been beaten to death,then some people had taken out his heart and liver,fried them in oil,and eaten them as a means of increasing their courage.When I interrupted,the tenant and my brother both stared at me.Only today have I realized that they had exactly the sam
25、e look in their eyes as those people outside.,第二节 重复与替代,After watching the fish for some time,they asked me for pairs of several different kinds,pointing them out as they walked down the row of tanks.I netted their choices into a traveling container and slipped it into an insulated bag for transport

27、n of the department.Close study of the result of the inquiry led to a reorganization of the department.,2)词语重复*We listened to an account of the customs of the inhabitants of the village.We listened to an account of the villagers customs.,3)句式重复*Now is the time for everyone to come out to vote,for ev

29、d the divisions to give their mutual cooperation to the project.He asked the divisions to cooperation on the project.*assemble together*repeat again*still remain,二、英语避免重复的方法1、替代1）名词性替代 用代词（第三人称代词、指示代词、关系代词、不定代词）或某些名词（half,the same,the kind,the sort,the former.the latter）来替代。A chemical change is one
30、in which the structure of particles is changed and the new substance is formed.化学变化是改变粒子结构，形成新物质的一种变化。,2）动词性替代 用代动词do，复合代动词do so,do this/that,do the same及替代句型“so+do+主语”等取代谓语动词。You should help him since you have promised to do so.你答应了要帮他就应该帮他。Mary speaks Chinese,and that very well.玛丽会讲汉语，而且讲得很好。,3）分句
31、型替代 用替代词so或not来取代充当宾语的that从句，用if so或if not 取代条件从句，用as来取代分句的一部分等。People believe that the American team will win the football game.But I believe not.We must have a fundamental evaluation of a persons work,and establish whether his achievements amount to 30%and his mistake to 70%,or vice versa.一个人的工作，究

33、ew York.I have never been to that place.,相同词同义词上位词统称词代词,3.省略零位替代(omission)在并列结构中,英语常常省略前面出现过的词语；汉语则往往重复这些词语。Reading exercises ones eyes;speaking,ones tongue;while writing,ones mind.阅读训练人的眼睛,说话训练人的口齿,写作训练人的思维。,英语常常承前省略相同的谓语动词；汉语则较常承前省略相同的主语。I lost my proud poplar,and you(lost)your willow.我失骄杨君失柳。He d
34、id not go,nor did I.他没去，我也没去。汉语的省略有时只求达意而不考虑语法和逻辑，是意合的极致。eg.你要死了找我。（你的狗要是死了，你可以找我。）今年天气比去年冷。,三、汉语倾向于重复修辞上的重复：反复，英汉都有语法上的重复：1)词复我还是我;一是一,二是二;他说他的,我干我的;看书的看书,聊天的聊天;大家庭有大家庭的难处;这东西旧是旧,可还能用;连想也没想过;想吃就吃;这病是洗冷水澡洗出来的;写信也好,打电话也好,发电报也好,反正你得通知到他;各唱各的调;我不会游泳,也不会溜冰,2)意复 称心如意;发号施令;穷凶极恶;惊天动地;唉声叹气;胡言乱语;奇装异服;日新月异;深仇
35、大恨;千方百计 单丝不成线,独木不成林 人以类聚,物以群分,汉语中的赘余现象:他所担任的工作:his work另外还有:in addition不切实际的幻想:illusion;fancy毫无根据的诽谤:slander心里想的,眼里看得,嘴上说的,手上干的,要结合起来.,汉语词语搭配的“同义反复”现象十分普遍。英语在词语搭配方面最大的特点就是要避免搭配上的“同义反复”。1）与名词搭配产生“同义反复”usual habits通常的习惯 future prospect未来的前景 new innovation新发明 the general consensus大家一致同意,2）与动词搭配产生的“同义反复
36、”complete monopoly 全部垄断 to mix together混在一起 to eliminate entirely全部消灭 to set a new world record创造新的世界纪录3）与形容词或副词搭配产生的“同义反复”visible to the eye眼睛能看见的 round in shape圆形的 red in color红色的 very absolute很绝对，非常绝对,第三节 关于骈偶与散行 对偶是把结构相似，字数相等，意义相类，相对或相反的两个语句对称地排在一起，使之互相补充，互相映衬，互相对照，以提高表达效果。,思考：骈偶是意合手段还是形合手段？连淑能：
37、与反复、排比一样是省略了关联词的意合手段潘文国：是一种形合手段，帮助意义凝聚。骈偶中的互 文见义，对把握汉语的语义有很大的帮助。,1）少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。Laziness in youth spells regret in old age.2）墙上芦苇，头重脚轻根底浅；山间竹笋，嘴尖皮厚腹中空。The reed growing on the walltop-heavy,thin-stemmed and shallow of root;The bamboo shoot in the hillssharp-tongued,thick-skinned and hollow inside.3）横眉
38、冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。Fierce-browed,I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers,Head-bowed,like a willing ox I serve the youngsters.,英语中也有骈偶情况，尤其在谚语里。More haste,less speed.Once bitten,twice shy.英语的平行结构，很难实现像汉语严式对偶那样整齐匀称。(字数相等,结构相同,平仄协调,字面对应而不重复)1)Long absent,soon forgotten.别久情疏 2)Nothing ventured,nothing gain
39、ed.不入虎穴，焉得虎子。3)Penny wise,pound foolish.小事聪明，大事糊涂。4)Grasp all,lose all.贪多必失。,英文的散行谚语，译成中文时常常是对句。Seeing is believing.The outlooker sees most of the game.当局者迷，旁观者清。Kill two birds with one stone.Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.A miss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘，谬以千里。Fine feathers make fine birds
40、.佛要金装，人要衣装。,而汉语中许多成对的谚语译成英语时，却要译成散行，否则会引起误解。远在天边，近在眼前。Right here.百尺竿头，更进一步。Make still further progress.一言既出，驷马难追。A word spoken is past recalling.,Flattery is more dangerous than hatred because it covers the stain which the other causes to be wiped out 阿谀比怨恨更危险，因为阿谀掩饰了污点，而怨恨却能使人消除污点。如何准确理解“英语是形合语言，汉语
41、是意合语言？”,意合与形合的辩证关系 任何一种语言都是形合和意合兼而有之，没有一种语言会是纯意合或纯形合的语言，所不同的只是表现趋势上的差异。英语重形合，但不排除有意合的情况；汉语重意合，其实也包含形合。,以下三句，英语原文连接词缺失，汉语译文则补充了连接词，彰显了逻辑关系。1）A true friend would have acted differently.如果是一个真正的朋友，就不会这样做了。2）A thousand probabilities cant make one truth.纵有一千个可能，也构不成一个事实。3）Grasp all,lose all.如果你样样都抓，就会一样也
42、抓不到。,如果天气好，我们船可以周一到达。Given good weather,the ship will arrive Shanghai onMonday.此句汉语有连接词，翻译成英语可以没有。走廊地毯厚厚的，我走在上面，一点脚步声也没有。The thick carpet on the corridor killed the sound ofmy footsteps.,各种语言都使用形合与意合连接手段，只是使用的范围、程度不同。在句子及句以下层面，英语比较稳定而多样的形态形式，可以控制内部语言要素之间的关系，因此以形合为主。到了句子以上层面（语篇），英语似乎觉得没有必要再用如此强的形式限制自
43、己，为了语用效果表达多样，而采用同义词、上位词、统称词、代词等在汉语句子层面上惯用的词汇意合手段，使要表达的意思更有条理，更有对比性。,汉语的形合手段主要是一些表示因果、目的、转折、条件等逻辑连词或起关联作用的副词和虚词。这些形合手段可以使句子成分和句子与句子之间的逻辑关系更加清晰，使句子结构更加严密紧凑，句子显得更加正式庄重。例：如果我们不发展或发展得太慢，老百姓一比较就有问题了。所以，能发展就不要阻挡，有条件的地方要尽可能搞快点，只要是讲效益，讲质量，搞外向型经济，就没有什么可以担心的。,句子及句子以下层面：英语以形合为主 汉语主要靠意合句子以上层面：英语采用意合手段造成变化 汉语采用形合手段增加凝聚力,意合法在汉语里属“常态”；在英语里属“变态”。英语以形合为主，而以意合为其补充；形合主要在句内，意合则在句间。汉语则以意合为主，形合为辅。形合的手段有三，一是话语中的同字重复，二是通过骈偶以互文见义，三是运用起关联作用的副词和虚词。,
