考研英語翻譯題重難點(diǎn)精析

由于翻譯部分的句型結(jié)構(gòu)和閱讀理解的較難句型基本類似,考試重點(diǎn)如出一轍,為了讓大家更好的理解閱讀理解真題文章,提高做題正確率,現(xiàn)在把考研翻譯方法進(jìn)行歸納總結(jié),以便大家復(fù)習(xí)參考。

考研英語翻譯難點(diǎn)精析(一)

考研英語翻譯題重難點(diǎn)精析

被動語態(tài)翻譯法

  1) 變?yōu)闈h語的主動形式。

  Eg:

  It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all.這種說法從一開始就將討論引向兩個極端,它使人們認(rèn)為應(yīng)該這樣對待動物:要么像對待人類自身一樣關(guān)切體諒,要么完全冷漠無情。

  2) 譯成具有被動意義的漢語結(jié)構(gòu)。

  Eg:

  For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.盡管計算機(jī)可以提供那么多的幫助,它卻不應(yīng)該被看作是基本的思維和推理技巧的替代物。

  Eg:

  How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted.這些預(yù)測將在多大程度上為后來的表現(xiàn)所證實取決于所用信息的數(shù)量、可靠程度、適宜程度以及用來解釋這些信息的技巧與才智。

  3) 增添“人們”、“大家”等適當(dāng)?shù)脑~做漢語譯文的主語。

  Eg:

  And it is imagined by many that the operations of the common mind can be by no means compared with these processes, and that they have to be acquired by a sort of special training.許多人認(rèn)為普通人的思維活動根本無法和科學(xué)家的思維過程想比較,他們并認(rèn)為這些思維過程必須經(jīng)過某中專門訓(xùn)練才能掌握。

  Eg:

  During this transfer, traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study.在這種轉(zhuǎn)變中,歷史學(xué)家研究歷史時,那些解釋新史料的新方法充實了傳統(tǒng)的歷史研究方法。

  分譯法

  英語長句子比較多,漢語句子相對而言比較短。在翻譯時可以改變原文結(jié)構(gòu),把原文的某個成分從原來的結(jié)構(gòu)中分離出來,譯成一個獨(dú)立成分、從句或并列分句。

  Eg: It has been rightly stated that this situation is a threat to international security.這個局勢對國際安全是個威脅,這樣的說法是完全正確的。

  合譯法

  和分譯法不同,合譯法是將不同的句子成分組合在一起,使其更符合漢語的表達(dá)方法。Eg:

  Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools.他們說科學(xué)的發(fā)展與其說源于天才偉人的真知灼識,不如說源于改進(jìn)了的技術(shù)和工具等等更為普遍的東西。(將英語的一個句子結(jié)構(gòu)翻譯成一個詞組)

  Eg:

  When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind’s instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.這種反應(yīng)并不錯,這是人類用道德觀念進(jìn)行推理的本能在起作用。這種本能應(yīng)得到鼓勵,而不是遭到嘲笑。(When that happens, it is not a mistake原來是兩個句子,現(xiàn)在組合成一個簡潔的漢語句子。)

  順序調(diào)整法

  一般來說,翻譯時應(yīng)該按照句子原來的順序進(jìn)行,但由于英漢兩種語言中定語、狀語和一些其他成分的位置不完全相同,翻譯時需要做一定的調(diào)整(例如采用倒譯法),使其更符合漢語的習(xí)慣。

  Eg:

  The true measure of the danger is represented by the hazards we will encounter if we enter the new age of technology without first evaluating our responsibility to environment.如果我們進(jìn)入了技術(shù)新時代而不首先估價我們對環(huán)境所負(fù)的責(zé)任,我們將遇到公害,這些公害將表明危險真正達(dá)到了什么程度。

  Eg:

  That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.這種理論的核心是,我們的環(huán)境同我們的才能、性格特征和行為即使有什么關(guān)系的話,也是微不足道的。(原來的謂語,在譯文中變成了在前的主語。)

  反譯法

  一個問題有時可以從不同的角度來解釋說明。有些句子英語是從正面說的,漢語可以從反面來解釋。

  1)否定譯成肯定。

  Eg:

  I never passed the theatre but I thought of his last performance.每一次經(jīng)過那家劇院,我都會想起他的最后一次演出。

  Eg:

  Hardly a month goes by without word of another survey revealing new depths of scientific illiteracy among U.S. citizens.美國公民科盲日益嚴(yán)重,這種調(diào)查報告幾乎月月都有。(雙重否定)

  2)肯定譯成否定。

  Eg:

  Everyone has the right to be free from hunger.人人有不挨餓的權(quán)利。

  Eg:

  This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.這種困境將是確定無疑的.,[來源:考研加油綻]因為能源的匱乏使農(nóng)業(yè)無法以高能量消耗、投入少數(shù)農(nóng)民就可能獲得高產(chǎn)的美國耕種方式繼續(xù)下去了。

  Eg:

  The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users.把標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化測試作為抨擊目標(biāo)是錯誤的,因為在抨擊這類測試時,批評者不考慮其弊病來自人們對測試不甚了解或使用不當(dāng)。

  幾種特殊否定句式的翻譯法

  “no more…than翻譯成漢語“和……一樣不”

  Eg:

  The heart is no more intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain.臟和胃一樣不能思維,都受大腦支配。

  Eg:

  There is no reason they should limit how much vitamin you take, any more than they can limit how much water you drink.他們沒有理由限定你吃多少維生素,就如同他們不能限定你喝多少水一樣。

  “not so much …as”翻譯成“與其說……,不如說……”

  Eg:

  It was not so much the many blows he received as the lack of fighting spirit that led to his losing the game.與其說他輸了比賽是多次被擊中,不如說是自己缺乏斗志。

  Eg:

  There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry.所謂方法論是指一般的歷史研究中的特有概念,還是指歷史研究中各個具體領(lǐng)域使用的研究手段,人們對此意見不一。

  Eg:

  He is the last person I want to see in the world.他是這個世界上我最不愿意見到的人。

  定語從句翻譯法

  1)合譯法:把定語從句放在被修飾的詞語之前,從而將英語復(fù)合句翻譯成漢語單句。

  Eg:

  Congress made public a survey of human rights in 105 countries that receive U.S. aid.國會公布了關(guān)于接受美國援助的105個國家的人權(quán)情況調(diào)查報告。

  2)分譯法:根據(jù)定語從句的不同情況,我們可以將其翻譯成并列分句、其它從句或獨(dú)立句等。

  Eg:

  Anyone who stops absorbing new knowledge is certain to lag behind.任何人如果停止吸取新知識,就肯定會落后。(譯為條件狀語從句)

  The strike would prevent the docking of ocean steamships which require assistance of tugboats.罷工會使遠(yuǎn)洋航船不能靠岸,因為他們需要拖船的幫助。(譯成原因狀語從句)

  A geological prospecting engineer who had made a spectral analysis of ores discovered a new open-cut coalmine.一位地質(zhì)勘探工程師對光譜進(jìn)行了分析之后,發(fā)現(xiàn)了新的露天煤礦。(譯為時間狀語結(jié)構(gòu))

  The delivery of public services has tended to be an area where we decorate an obsolete process with technology.公共服務(wù)的提供方式已趨陳舊,這正是我們必須采用技術(shù)加以裝備的領(lǐng)域。(譯為并列分句)

  We now live in a very new economy, a service economy, where relationships are becoming more important than physical products.現(xiàn)在我們正生活于一種全新的經(jīng)濟(jì),即服務(wù)性經(jīng)濟(jì)中,各種關(guān)系越來越比物質(zhì)產(chǎn)
