12、ion is among other intergovernmental organizations,which,including ITU and WTO,are dealing with telecommunications and their trade applications,as revealed in the grammatical analysis.,2)Translation 2,他们认为，这种工作对帮助发展中国家，尤其对帮助政府和中小企业，关系尤为密切，以便它们更好地理解并参与到其他政府间的组织正在着手进行的电讯及其在贸易中的应用的进程中去，特别要参与到国际电讯联盟和世贸组
13、织中的活动中去。,Comments:,With the wordings reorganized,the present translation has caught the important relations as discussed above.However,活动in the last line remains incongruous in the context.,3)Translation 3:,他们认为，此项工作对帮助发展中国家关系重大，尤其对政府和中小企业。其他政府间的组织，尤其是世界电讯联盟和世贸组织，正在研究电讯和电讯在贸易中的应用，让发展中国家了解这些进程，参与到这些进
14、程中去，尤为重要。,Comments:,The present translation is reorganized again,and to a large extent,irrespective of the original structures.Consequently,it sounds more logic,coherent,authentic and readable either locally or taking the text as a whole.This example shows that English textualization much depends on
15、 grammatical patterning while Chinese textualization much depends on logic sequencing.,Exercise 2:,The meeting considered that the recommendations made by the United Nations International Symposium on Trade Efficiency in the sector of telecommunications remain a valid basis for the continuation of i
16、ntergovernmental activities in the area of the telecommunications,business facilitation and trade efficiency.The experts underlined that UNCTAD should pursue its work in this area by complementing UNISTE recommendations through the consideration of a number of recent trends and events,which have bee

22、and the second sentence is periodic in structure.,(3)Parallel structure:,In the selection,parallel structures are used,for example,in the first sentence,telecommunications,business facilitation and trade efficiency are parallel,and in the second sentence,trends and events and small and medium are pa

25、quial structures,and lexically,formal words,including nominalizations,are frequently used,for example,consider,recommendation,international,symposium,intergovernmental;and UNCTAD,UNISTE,and many others.,2 Staged translation:,1)Translation 1 with comments2)Translation 2 with comments3)Translation 3 w
26、ith comments,1)Translation 1,会议认为，联合国贸易效率国际会议提出的建议，在电讯方面的，作为在电讯、促进企业和贸易效率方面继续政府间活动的基础仍然是有效的。专家们强调联合国贸易和发展会议应该用通过考虑最近的许多倾向和事件来执行联合国贸易效率国际会议的建议在此领域做好工作。这些倾向和事件对企业的竞争性一直具有、将来仍然具有十分重要的意义，在今后的几年中，对中小企业尤其如此。,Comments:,The translation tries to be authentic and readable by following the original structure r
27、igidly,though with some readjustments made for the translation of the last part of the second sentence and of some end-positioned attributes scattered in the selection.This way of translation is problematic if the original sentence is too long and the structure is very complicated.,2)Translation 2,会

29、made,for the sentences in the translation are still a little bit too long and somewhat incoherent.For example,the translation consists three long sentences and the second clause in the second sentence consists of 61 Chinese characters.In other words,the second sentence could be retranslated against
30、Chinese norms in the following manner:最近出现了许多新的趋势和事件，专家们强调指出，联合国贸易和发展会议应该考虑这些趋势和事件，以便执行联合国贸易效率国际会议提出的各项建议，在此领域做好自身的工作.,3)Translation 3,联合国贸易效率国际会议认为，会议提出的有关电讯方面的建议，在电讯、促进企业发展和提高贸易效率等领域，仍应作为继续开展政府间合作活动的基础。最近出现了许多新动向，发生了许多新事件。这些新动向和新事件，对提高企业的竞争力，尤其对中小企业，一直具有十分重要的意义，将来也是如此。专家们强调指出联合国贸易和发展会议应考虑这些新动向和新事件
31、，以便执行联合国贸易效率国际会议提出的各项建议，在上述领域做好自身的工作。,Comments:,In the present translation,necessary readjustments are made on the previous,by fronting some parts and pushing other parts further back.The greatest readjustment made lies in that the original contains two parallel sentences,each dealing an aspect of m
32、eaning.In the translation,however,three sentences are used,of which two are parallel and the two are cut off by a third sentence in between,not parallel to either of the two.In addition,the ideas in the intervening sentence could be found at the end of the second sentence in the original.With above-
33、mentioned readjustments made,authenticity,coherence and readability are greatly reinforced but the original ideas are not difficult to spot out in the translation,though not sequenced in the original way.,第二章 美国总统就职演说汉译,Exercises 2122,Exercise 21:,Before concluding,fellow-citizens,I must say somethi

37、 is an attributive clause embedded in the subject part.,(2)Additional complication:,The first sentence begins with a prepositional phrase and a vocative;and the second sentence begins with a prepositional phrase,and in the main clause,it serves as a formal subject while the clause that the interest
38、of our country serves as the real subject,and if not entirely extinguished serves as a parenthesis.,2)Stylistic analysis:,(1)Periodicity(2)Structural complication(3)Parallel structure(4)Cohesive device(5)Structural and lexical formality,(1)Periodicity:,The selection consists of two periodic sentence

41、following lexical and grammatical cohesive devices:you is used to refer to fellow-citizens;me is used as a partial repetition of I;and our is used to refer to both you and I.,(5)Structural and lexical formality:,The selection is formal in that structurally,the sentences it is composed of are grammat

44、 the Chinese reader to understand.For example,what is meant by 精神破坏?Therefore,it is quite clear that that part should be retranslated with other parts readjusted accordingly.,2)Translation 2:,同胞们，在结束我的讲话之前，我想就我们国家的现存政党这个话题和大家说几句。在我看来，非常清楚，我们国家的利益要求，我们国家的政党正在为暴力精神所控制，这种精神必须大大削弱，如果不是彻底根除的话。否则其结果肯定会难以想
