1、2014-01-02,英汉翻译总复习(2013-2014),1.1 Translation Standards,翻译的标准之争由来已久,“文质之争”、“直译意译之争”、“归化异化之争”,不一而足。释道安:案本严复:信、达、雅傅雷:神似钱钟书:化境鲁迅:宁信而不顺(直译)vs.赵景深:宁错而务顺,1.1Translation Standards,许渊冲:诗歌翻译的三原则“三美”(意美、音美、形美)(beautiful in sense,in sound and in form),“三化”(等化、浅化、深化)(equalization,generalization and particulariz
2、ation),“三知”(知之、好之、乐之)(comprehension,appreciation and admiration),1.1Translation Standards,林语堂:音美、意美、神美、气美、形美 郭沫若:好的翻译等于创作 朱光潜:译者“须设身处地在作者的地位,透 入作者的心窍,和他同样感,同样想,同样地努力使所感所想凝定于语文”。傅雷:以效果而论,翻译应当像临画一样,所求的不在形似而在神似。钱钟书:文学翻译的最高理想可以说是“化”,把作品从一国文字转变成另一国文字,既能不因语文习惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹,又能完全保存原作的风味,那就算得入与“化境”。,严复的翻译原则,
3、信 达 雅,译事三难:信、达、雅。求其信,已大难矣!顾信矣,不达,虽译,犹不译也,则达尚焉此在译者将全文神理,融汇于心,则下笔抒词,自善互备。至原文辞理本深,难于共喻,则当前后引衬,以显其意。凡此经营,皆以为达;为达,即所以为信也。,“信”faithfulness,是指忠实原文的思想内容“达”(expressiveness)指译文通顺流畅“雅”(elegance)文字古雅。Ps:这里严复所说的“雅”是指“汉以前的字 法句法”。严复是在使用文言文的时代从事翻 译,其所译原著多为英国维多利亚时期的以文 风典雅著称的作品。,1.2 Foreignization and Domestication,矛
4、盾说:“我以为所谓直译也者,倒并非一定是字对字一个不多,一个也不少。直译的意义就是不要歪曲了原作的面目,要能表达原作的精神。”朱光潜却说:“所谓直译是指依原文的字面翻译,有一字一句就译一字一句,而且字句的次第也不更动。”巴金说:“我觉得翻译方法其实只有一种,并没有直译和意译的分别。好的翻译应该都是直译,也都是意译。”,1.2 Foreignization and Domestication,从历史上看,异化和归化可以视为直译和意译的延伸。直译和意译所关注的核心问题是如何在语言层面处理形式和意义,而异化和归化则突破了语言因素的局限,将视野扩展到语言、文化和美学等因素。归化法是“采取民族中心主义的
5、态度,使外语文本符合译入语的文化价值观,把原作者带入译入语文化”。异化法则是“对这些文化价值观的一种民族偏离主义的压力,接受外语文本的语言及文化差异,把读者带入外国情景。”,1.2 Foreignization and Domestication,异化法要求译者向作者靠拢,采取相应于作者使用的源语的表达方式,来传达原文的内容;而归化法则要求译者向译语读者靠拢,采取译语读者习惯的译语表达方式。异化法代表:鲁迅、董秋斯、卞之琳归化法代表:严复、林纾、朱生豪、张若谷、傅东华,1.3 Exercises,Distance from the event should make the memories

7、nd,p.20)【译1】她不会放弃塔拉;她属于这些红土地,远比它们属于她更加真实。【译2】她不能放弃塔拉;这块红土地是属于她的,而她更是永远属于这块红土地。,She tries to calm her daughter with a faint smile and gentle caress of her hair.参考译文她淡淡地微笑着,温柔地爱抚着女儿的头发,让她平静下来。,Party officials worked long hour on meagre food,in old caves,by dim lamps.党的干部吃着粗茶淡饭,住着寒冷的窑洞,点着昏暗的油灯,长时间地工作。,
