33、面加以调整，因此译文与原文字面上不再一一对应。从表达的形式上，可分为译文加词、译文减词和译文换词。,译文加词,北京是中国的政治、文化中心。这里你可以游览万里长城、八达岭,Beijing is Chinas political and cultural center that offers many scenic attractions:the Great Wall,Badaling.该段的原文讲的是北京的名胜，而非政治和文化。译文若不加下划线部分限定，主题句和段落内容就不相符。这类加译是为了使译文内容文理通达。枯藤老树昏鸦,小桥流水人家,古道西风瘦马,Oer old trees wreathe
34、d with rotten vine fly evening crows;Neath tiny bridge beside a cot a clear stream flows;On ancient road in western breeze a lean horse goes;,汉语连续用了九个名词,萧瑟凄凉之景,空旷冷落之感在这九个名词中凸现而出,悠然而生,生动具体地抒发出作者当时的情绪和心境,没有任何赘词冗语。许渊冲先生的译文根据英语句法结构,增添了冠词,介词和动词,原句中的九个名词改换成了三个完整的逻辑语句。这样更符合英语的表达习惯。,易词而译,这个旅游项目不会使您失望。,A tou
35、r of these cities will be a most rewarding experience.把“disappointing（失望）”换译成“rewarding”。人们都喜欢听那些含有正面意义或吉利的话，回避具有负面含义的词语。作为旅游文章的翻译，用正面的表达法代替反面的表达法，语用上更为得体。汉英翻译中还可以进行词类转换。中国政府承诺不对无核国家使用核武器。,The Chinese government undertakes not to use(that it will not use)nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries
36、.The Chinese government undertakes non-use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries.,这次十三届八中全会开得好。译文1：The recent Eighth Plenary Session of the Thirteen Central Committee was a successful meeting.译文2：The recent Eighth Plenary Session of the 13th CPC Central Committee was a success.,易序而译,有时需要对
37、原文词序作一番调整，以适应目标语的修辞习惯，或者为了避免因结构而产生歧义。例如：到西安你可以买兵马俑、唐三彩。Unique local creations are available in Xian,such as the three-color glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty and terra-cotta figures.原文中的“兵马俑”与“唐三彩”到译文中交换了位置，是为了避免修饰语“of the Tang Dynasty”在结构上产生歧义。,翻译练习：,1.我只会马走日、象走田。让你车马炮。2.我们说,长征是历史上的第一次,长征是宣传书,长征是宣传队,长征是播种机。,I only know the most basic moves.Would you like me to allow you a handicap?此对话中的“马走日”、“象走田”和“车马炮”为中国象棋术语，译时绕过原文形式意义。,We answer that the Long March is the first of its kind in the annals of history,that it is a manifesto,a propaganda force,a seeding-machine.,
