set phrases; idioms

2. 惯用语:idioms

3. 俗语: “通俗流行之语”或“约定俗成广泛通行之语” sayings

4. 谚语: “在群众中间流传的固定语句,用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理。” <现汉> proverbs 歇后语:由前后两部分构成,前一部分多为比喻,后一部分说明喻义。two-part allegorical sayings 格言警句: maxim

习语的特点

习语集中反映一个民族或文化的特色

习语是各种修辞手段的集中表现

习语是语言中独立的、不规则的、固定的成分。

第一、二两点对译者的要求是什么?

第三点对译者的要求是什么?

第一、二两点要求译者尽量保持原文的民族形式和风格,因此直译(不是死译和硬译)往往是必要的。

第三点要求译者不要把习语当作普通语句来处理,须避免字字对译。

习语翻译的指导思想

“直译基础上的意译”

陆殿扬:“Translate literally, if possible, or, appeal to free translation.” (如果可能,就直译;否则就意译)

奈达:功能对等(Functional Equivalence: not only the equivalent content of message, but, in so far as possible, an equivalence of the form);

改变形式的五个条件

直译会导致意义上的错误时;

引入外来语形成语义空白(Semantic Zero),读者有可能自己填入错误的意义时;

形式对等引起严重的意义晦涩时;

形式对等引起作者原意所没有的歧义时;

形式对等违反译入语的语法或文体规范时。

习语汉译英的原则

形象性原则

简练性原则

不可滥用字面意义直译法

尽量少用意译法和直译加注法

习语翻译的基本方法

1. 直译法:在不违背译文语言规范以及不引起译文读者错误理解的情况下,在译文中保留原文成语的形象、修辞手段和民族特色

2. 同义习语借用法: 有些习语在内容形式和色彩上都符合, 可借用

3. 意译法: 无法直译, 也无法借用时, 则意译

4. 直译兼意译:部分直译,部分意译,直意参半法

5. 省略法: 四字重叠词组因追求音韵美,前后两部分意义相同或相近时, 只需译出一部分或只译其意义, 可以不考虑重叠的部分。

6. 增添法:为了更清楚地表达原意,有时要结合上下文,在译文中增添一些说明。

7. 还原法:有些习语源于外语,翻译时可使之还原。

8. 直译加注法:有些习语包含历史典故,含有中国文化色彩,如果不作一番解释,英语读者将很难理解其确切含义。

9. 粗俗语回避法:对于粗俗语,通常采用回避的方法,即借用英语同义习语或意译等方法来处理。

不能直译的习语

死译:His eyebrows are flying and his countenance is dancing

成语的英文翻译

成语的英文翻译 成语的英文翻译 不动声色 拼音: bùdòngshēngsè 解释: 声:言谈;色:脸色。在紧急情况下,说话、神态仍跟平时一样没有变化。形容非常镇静。 出处: 宋·欧阳修《相州昼锦堂记》:“垂绅正笏,不动声色,而措天下于泰山之安。” 翻译: 不动声色指的是说话、神态都保持镇定,没有变化。 保持可以用keep,maintain等表示,镇定可以是composure,组合起来就是keep/maintainone’scomposure 要不动声色,不要让对方看到任何你生气或是不安的迹象。Don'tshowanysignsofangerorupset.Youmustkeepyourcomposure. 还有一个词组也表示不动声色:notturnahair。 notturnahair:tonotshowanyemotionwhenyouaretoldsomethingb adorwhensomethingbadhappens 连一根头发丝都没有动,是不是十分镇定呢?

我还期待着他听到这笔开销时大惊失色,不料他却不动声色。Iwasexpectinghimtobehorrifiedwhenheheardthecostbuthedidn'tt urnahair. 不负众望 拼音: bùfùzhòngwàng 解释: 负:辜负;众:众人;望:期望。不辜负大家的.期望。 出处:《诗经·大雅·下武》:“永言配命,成王之孚。”(这句话是说周成王顺应天命,令众人信服。) 翻译: liveuptoone’sexpectation liveupto表示“不辜负”,不辜负期望(expectation)也就等于不负众望。 我努力活出自己的样子,不辜负众望。Itriedtoliveuptomyideallifeandpeople’sexpectation. 如果是辜负了众望,即不孚众望呢?又该如何翻译? 只要在liveupto前面加上fail就可以了。 fail是动词,意思是失败,failtodosomething的意思是“未能做成某事”。 因此,不孚众望可以翻译成: failtoliveuptoone’sexpectation.
