英语形容词翻译的小窍门
一、一些原义并无否定意思的形容词和别的词搭配，有时可译成否定句。
1. These goods are in short supply. 这些货物供应不足。
2. This equation is far from being complicated. 这个方程一定也不复杂。
二、为了使译文自然流畅，读起来顺口，在一些形容词前可根据上下文内容加上副词“很”、“最”等字。
1. It was as pleasant a day as I have ever spent. 这是我度过最愉快的一天。
2. It is easy to compress a gas. 气体很容易压缩。
三、有时可将英语的“形容词+名词短语”译成汉语的主谓结构。
1. She spoke in a high voice. 她讲话声音很尖。
2. This engine develops a high torque. 这台发动机产生的转矩很大。
四、如果一个名词前有几个形容词修饰，英译时应根据汉语习惯决定其顺序。
1. a large brick conference hall 一个用砖砌的大会议厅
2. a plastic garden chair 一把在花园里用的塑料椅子
五、英语中一些表示知觉、情感、欲望等心理状态的形容词，同连系动词构成复合谓语时，翻译时可将形容词译成动词。
1. You are ignorant of the duties you undertake in marrying. 你完全不懂你在婚姻方面承担的责任。
2. Such criticisms have become familiar in his later commentaries on America. 类似的批评在他后来写的评论美国的文章中屡见不鲜。
3. He is truly sorry for his past, and he has undertaken to give up motorcars entirely and for ever. 他诚恳地忏悔过去，并保证永远不再玩汽车。
六、由于语言习惯不同，英语里的形容词有时译成汉语副词。
1. I am going to be good and sweet and kind to every body. 我要对每一个人都亲切、温顺、和善。
2. He asked me for a full account of myself and family. 他详尽地问起我自己和我家里的情况。
3. Another war will be the absolute end of our country. 再来一次战争将彻底毁灭我们这个国家。
从以上几个方面可以看出，译好形容词是使译文通顺、流畅的一个环节。

浅析文化差异与黑、白两种颜色词翻译 岳阳职业技术学院李蜜 在汉英语言中, 表示各种不同颜色或色彩的词 都很丰富。由于我国与绝大部分英语国家相隔万里, 自然现象、历史背景、审美心理等千差万别, 人们对于颜色的感受和表达不尽相同。这样, 颜色的象征意义在中西文化之间自然又会产生很大的差异。所以, 了解英汉文化的背景知识, 掌握表示颜色的词语在两种语言中的深层含义, 才能进行更好地翻译。一、颜色词的象征意义及社会人文因素 “色彩的象征性是色彩的联想被固定为一种社 会观念时形成的, 这种象征意义是色彩内涵性质的外延, 与该社会的历史、文化等人文因素紧密相连。”影响颜色词象征意义的中西社会人文因素主要在以下几个方面: 1、民俗民情 在中国文化传统中, 颜色的生成具有神秘主义 意味和丰富的文化内涵。与中国的宇宙观和五行学说密切相关。如对红色的崇拜来源于对日神的崇拜, 对白色的禁忌源于对月神崇拜。 西方人则不同, 他们个性意识发达, 具有悲剧性 的崇高审美观, 因而没有那些五花八门的迷信。对
于他们来说只有black( 黑) 和white( 白) 两色才真正具有某些代表意义, 前者代表庄严肃穆, 后者代表清白素雅, 真正具有民俗文化色彩和内涵。 2、宗教信仰 颜色词的文化象征意义带有明显的宗教色彩。 在中国、印度等佛教国家, 佛教的色彩美学有着丰富的象征寓意,如把恶行引起的果称为“黑”,而把善行所引起的果称为“白”,白色在佛教中是圣洁的象征。因此,体现佛教内容的纹样往往用“白色”来象征菩 提之心。 在中世纪的英国, 颜色在基督教徒们的宗教思 想中扮演了重要的角色, 一些教义甚至明文规定了 不准对颜色词的滥用。如基督的衣服在他初始阶段 也要画成蓝色的, 在复活时却要画成白色的或红色的。这些约定无疑是英语国家人们的宗教想象所决 定的, 因为在基督教中黑色代表着耶稣与黑暗使者 的遭遇, 而红色和白色都代表着神和上帝的本性: 智慧与爱。 3、政治变迁 在不同的政治历史阶段, 不同的社会生活中, 人 们对颜色的熟知、理解和运用不尽相同。在我国几 千年的封建文化里, 位于高贵的颜色如黄、红等在传

颜色词的翻译 [摘要] 词汇在语言中最活跃, 词汇中的颜色词意义丰富。自然界是色彩斑斓的, 各民族在长期的历史沉淀中都形成了各自独特的颜色观，折射出绚丽多姿的民族文化。文化制约了颜色词的意义演变，颜色词的文化意义又折射出了丰富的文化内涵。由于文化内容、文化传统和文化心理有异，很多英汉颜色词的文化内涵差异较大，这些特定的文化内涵意义是不同民族在不同的环境下铸就而成的。英汉颜色词在两种语言中的意义既有相同和相似之处，也存在着很多差异。了解一些基本的方法，对顺利进行跨文化交际和英汉双语翻译有一定的指导意义．本文对照分析了相当数量的颜色词的翻译实例，总结了译法。同时在学习英语的过程中适当了解不同颜色词在英汉两种语言中的文化背景、风俗习惯和历史地理背景，旨在促进跨文化交际的顺利进行。 [关键词]颜色词；翻译；方法；文化内涵 颜色与人类的生活息息相关，我们无时无刻不在与颜色打交道。大千世界的颜色种类无穷无尽，有各自的独特物理属性，在语言中也有鲜明生动的体现。对颜色的认知，是人类最基本的认知范畴之一。人类对颜色的认知，是有很明显的共同处的。反映在语言上，虽然各种语言表达颜色的词汇数量差别较大，但是表达颜色的基本词汇，如黑、白、红、黄、绿、蓝等，在很多语言中都是相通的，是非常一致的。不过，由于各民族文化风俗，地理位置，历史传统，宗教信仰，民族心理，思维习惯等方面差异，颜色词语有时有表现出各民族独特的“个性”，带有显著的文化烙印。这就使得颜色词语的翻译，可以采用不同的方法。 一、英汉两种语言中一些常见颜色词汇的异同 英语中有11种基本颜色词，即：white（白色）、black（黑色）、grey（灰色）、brown （棕色）、red（红色）、green（绿色）、yellow (黄色）、blue（蓝色）、purple (紫色）、pink (粉色）、orange（橙色）。汉语中的基本颜色词与英语基本对应，惟独“青”较为特殊。下面将对主要基本颜色词的文化内涵作一些比较和相关词组列举一下。 A. red（红色） 无论是在英语国家还是在中国，红色往往与庆祝活动或喜庆日子有关。因为日历中，这些日子常用红色字体。因此，red letter day：指的是“纪念日”或“喜庆的日子”。 红色还指“负债”或“亏损”，因为人们总是用红笔登记负数。于是就有了这些词组：red ink：赤字 in the red：亏损 red-ink entry：赤字分录 red balance：赤字差额 除此之外，还有如： ：一分钱；red gold：纯金；red tip on stock market：指股票市场的最新情报汉语中常用的带“红”字的词语，翻译成英语，可不一定用“red”。例如： 红糖：brown sugar 红茶：black tea 红榜：honor roll 红豆：love pea 红运：good luck 红利：dividend
英语成语翻译精选 有相当一部分成语可以用英语直接翻译出来，这样非常方便我们记忆。 （1）bad egg坏蛋，歹徒。 Trust him nothing；he is a bad egg。别信他，他是个坏蛋。 （2）crocodile tears鳄鱼的眼泪，假慈悲。 Don’t weep crocodile tears with his misfortune. I know you have always detested him and are only too happy to see him get into trouble。别假惺惺地为他的不幸难过了，我知道你一直讨厌他，看到他倒霉，心里可高兴哩！ （3）cry wolf呼喊“狼来了”，发假情报。 That politician cries wolf in every speech he makes。那个政治家在他的每篇演说中都发假警报。 （4）（that is）easier said than done说起来容易做起来难。 Easier said than done，let’s pay more attention to practice.
说起来容易做起来难，让我们多注意些实践吧！ （5）fish in troubled waters混水摸鱼，乘人之危。 He’s always been good at fishing in troubled waters; he made a lot of money by buying houses that were bombed in the war.他总是善于乘人之危大捞一把，他靠购买在战争中遭过轰炸的房屋而赚了大量的钱财。 （6）fish out of water离水之鱼，不得其所。 She felt like a fish of water at the evening party because she knew no one. 她在晚会上感到很局促，因为她一个人也不认识。 （7）gives someone an inch and he will take an ell得寸进尺。 If you give those people an inch，they’ll take an ell；we told them they might use our side path to reach their garden，now they have fenced in the path so that we cannot use it ourselves.那些人就是得寸进尺；我们对他们说，他们可以经过我们的小道进他们的花园，现

学习《科技英语翻译理论与技巧》课程后的几点体会和收获 学院：专业： 班级：姓名：学号： 英语翻译，是具有逻辑思维、科学理论和艺术色彩三者集中亮相的一种语言学问。 但是，在学习《科技英语翻译理论》之前，我对翻译的看法却不是这样认为的，对它的态度却是那么的不恭，那么的不敬，只认为它是语言的奴隶，是一种枯燥乏味的、低俗的赚钱工具，根本谈不上“学问”这一个崇高的词语，更是谈不上它具有科学理论、艺术色彩、逻辑思维这些完美的名词。事实总是存在与主观想法互相不吻合的时刻，庆幸的是，在这个不该延长下去的时刻，我恰恰结束了它的延长时间——我开始学习《科技英语翻译理论》。 现在，在我的脑海中，翻译不再是语言的奴隶，而是语言的灵魂。语言是人与人之间交流的重要工具，如果没有了翻译，那么人与人之间的交流在很大程度上就会受到阻碍，世界的文化交流历史将要重新编写。 翻译不是一个单词一个词语地翻译，而是要拥有逻辑性的翻译。 在学习《科技英语翻译理论》之前，每当翻译句子时，我并没有考虑到译文的逻辑性以及通顺性，直接按照原语言的单词顺序非常死板地翻译成译文，使译文读起来非常生硬，不通顺，不仅大大改变了原语言的韵味，而且大大降低了译文的可读性。但是，自从学习了《科技英语翻译理论》之后，回想起自己以前所翻译的句子，感觉自己跟那些没有学过英语的人没有什么两样。 在翻译时，我们必须考虑译文的逻辑性和通顺性，最起码让译文读起来不会出现拗口以及很乱的感觉。在翻译之前，必须仔细地推敲原语言，把原语言的每一个单词都弄懂，然后再运用译文的逻辑性把这些已经翻译成译文的单词组合在一起，最后理清一下句子的通顺性，经过了这一番程序过程之后，一句很通顺的句子就这样精彩地诞生了。句子通顺畅达，读者读起来朗朗上口，这才体现出翻译的魅力以及美丽。 翻译应该是科学地翻译。 翻译不是精通一门外语，借助于词典和工具书就能为之的事，缺少对原语文化的深入研究，是很难保证翻译的水平和质量，而且是一种枯燥乏味的语言翻译。翻译要熟悉两种语言，悟出语言所具有的无比威力，还要透过语言所传达的信息，了解其背后的文化和精神，从而体会到两种语言文化的差异。语言不仅仅是信息的载体，还是文化的载体。不同民族由于不同的生存环境，对世界的不同认识，往往形成各自独特的文化背景和文化模式。人类对信息
关于英语中颜色词的翻译 一、黑色与动词连用时的一些习惯用法及其翻译 to be in the black 盈利，赚钱 to be(get)in someone’s black books 失宠于某人 to go into the black 哀悼 to give sb. a black look 恶狠狠地瞪某人一眼 to have a black eye 鼻青脸肿 to pain sb. black 说某人坏 to black out 涂掉，掩蔽 to work like a black 工作非常努力 to see sth. in black and white 是非分明地看问题 二、黄色 在英语中，yellow是卑怯者的形容词。美国俚语又常以yellow代替cowardly，如yellow dog(卑鄙之徒)；He is too yellow to stand up and fight.(他太懦弱了而不敢站起来进行斗争)。而黄色在中国传统中是神圣、高贵、权威的象征，被视为中华民族的本色，又是帝王之色。但今天“扫黄” (anti-pornography campaign)中的“黄色”却是色情的同义词。此外，汉语中的“黄色电影(obscene movies)，黄色书刊(filthy books)，黄色音乐(vulgar music)等中的“黄色”均不能直译为yellow。请看下列“yellow”与名词连用时的一些习惯用法及其翻译： yellow brown 黝黑的皮肤yellow line 黄线(路边限制停车者) yellow alert 预备警备a yellow-dog contract(以受雇工人不 yellow streak 胆怯，懦弱加入工会为条件的)雇佣契约懦弱的人 yellow belly 可鄙的胆小鬼，懦弱的人 yellow looks 尖酸多疑的神情 在上面这些例子中，汉译时也都是与“黄”无关的，即yellow不能直译为“黄色”。
