正译不反译
（一、正说反译）
英汉两种语言习惯不同，有时英语里正说的句子，译成汉语时不得不处理成反说，反之亦然。
所谓正译，是指把句子按照与原语相同的语序或表达方式译入目的语。所谓反译则是指把句子按照与原语相反的语序或表达方式译入目的语。
正译和反译都是一种翻译方法，其目的是为了解决翻译过程中所遇到的表达方面的困难，使译文更通顺达意。
实际上英汉两种语言均可以从正面或反面来表达同一概念。如：
1）你可以从因特网上获得这一信息。
正译,You can obtain this information on the Internet,
反译,This information is accessible/available on the
Internet,
2）他突然想到了一个新主意。
正译,Suddenly he had a new idea,
反译,A new idea suddenly occurred to/struck him,
3）他仍然没有弄懂我的意思。
正译,He still could not understand me,
反译,Still he failed to understand me,
4）无论如何，她算不上一位思维敏捷的学生。
正译,She can hardly be rated as a bright
student,
反译,She is anything but a bright student.
正说反译或反说正译的相互转换，其目的主要有三个：
(1)明确语义。 (2)加强修辞。 (3)符合目的语习惯。
一、正说反译如：
1） Please tender exact fare,
自备零钞，不找零钱。（明确）
2） That?s a thing that might happen to anyone,
这种事谁也难免。（加强修辞）
3） He is still in bed,
他还没起床。（符合汉语习惯）
在不少情况下，有的介词短语如不从反面着笔，译文就不通，这时必须反译。像 beyond,past,
against 等表示超过某限度的能力或反对 …… 时，
其短语有时用反译法。如：
1） It is past repair．
这东西无法修补了。
2） Radio telescopes have been able to probe
space beyond the range of ordinary optical
telescopes．
射电望远镜已能探测普通光学望远镜达不到的宇宙空间。
off,from 等表示地点，距离时，有时用反译法。
如,The boat sank off the coast,
这只船在离海岸不远处沉没了。
but,except,besides等表示除去、除外时，也用反译法,
Copper is the best conductor but silver．
铜是仅次于银的最优导体。
from,in等介词短语作补足语时，有时用反译法。
如,The signal was shown about the machine
being order,
信号表明机器没有毛病。
请注意所谓英语正面表达是指在原文中没有用 no、
not或带否定意义前缀的词，如,dishonest，
impossible,indirect。
英语中有些词或短语常常正说反译，如,miss the
bus( 没有赶上公共汽车 ),live up to the Party?s
expectations( 不辜负党的期望 ),be absent from
the meeting( 没有出席会议 ),a final decision( 不可改变的决定 ),(be) at a loss ( 不知所措 ) 等。
有些句子则需通过上下文，根据逻辑推理，仔细推敲关键词的实际含义，再采取适当的反译法进行翻译 。例如：
In fact,the willingness to experiment is
one of the most striking features of China
today,and it seems to be rooted in confidence
rather than security,
实际上，这种敢于试验的愿望是当今中国最显著的特点之一。它源于信心，而非出于担忧。
总之，所谓正说反译的目的就是使译文和原文所表达的真正含义相一致。
Exercise,Please translate the following
sentences.
He was absent from his own country last year,
We may safely say so,
Both sides thought that the peace proposal
was one they could accept with dignity,
The decision has to come,
If it worked once,it can work twice,
这小孩现在完全能自己走了。
法律面前，人人平等。
我和小王说句话，马上就回来。
参考答案：
他去年不在自己的国家里。（原文正说，译文反说。）
我们这样说万无一失。
双方认为，那和平建议是一个他们可以接受而不失体面的建议。
决定还没做出。
一次得手，再次不愁。
The child can walk without any help now,（汉语原文正说，英文译文反说。）
Law is no respecter of persons,
Just to have a word with Xiao Wang,I won?t be
long.
正译不反译
（事、反说正译）
反说正译是重要的翻译方法之一。
如,1） I won't keep you waiting long,
我一会儿就回来。（明确语义）
2） Isn't it funny!
真逗！（加强修辞）
3）,You will try to tide me over,won't you?”
“Won't I!”
“你会帮我渡过难关的，是吗？”,当然！” （符合汉语习惯）
常见的反说正译的例子还有：
The method of scientific investigation is
nothing but the expression of the necessary
mode of working of the human mind,
科学研究的方法 只是 人类思维活动的必要表达方式。
I am not so sick but I can come to sit for the
exam,
我尽管有病,但是还能来参加考试。（或：我还没有病到不能来参加考试。）
You cannot attach too much importance to the
matter,
你 应该非常重视 这件事情。
He is no less clever than his brother,
他和他兄弟 一样聪明。
The man over there is none other than our
principal,
站在那儿的人 正是 我们的校长。

time,
Don't lose time in posting this letter,
请勿大声喧哗。
他提前三天到达是我们没有想到的。
油漆未干。
如果没有她的帮助，我早就失败了。
他开车时心不在焉，几乎闯祸。
参考答案：
严禁吐痰！（英文反说，汉语正说。）
从莫斯科来的火车很快就到。
赶快把这封信寄出去。
Keep quiet,（汉语原文反说，英语译文正说。）
His arrival three days in advance is beyond our
expectation,
Wet paint,
But for her help,I should have failed,
His absence of mind during the driving nearly
caused an accident.

诧境不翻译
Translating in Context
Translating in Context
英汉互译中的一个难点就是一词多类、一词多义的现象。遇到这种情冴,翻译工作的首要任务就是弄清句中多义词的词义。而这主要叏决二上下文诧境。胡壮麟教授 (1994)把诧境分为三类,诧言诧境
(linguistic context),情景诧境 (situational context)和 文化诧境 (cultural
context)。
诧言诧境指所使用的诧言系统内的诧音、词汇、诧法规则等各种因素极其乊间的相互关系 ;情景诧境指诧篇产生时的周围情冴、亊件的性质、参不者的关系、时间、地点、斱式等 ;文化诧境指诧篇所涉及特定社会的文化、经济、宗教和政治背景、风土人情等。
诧境在翻译的理解阶殌起着至关重要的作用,因为任何一个单词一旦构成词组戒用在句子乊中,它就处在一个特定的诧境当中,而丌同的诧境和诧篇又赋予这个词丌同的意义。
Translating in Context
如 head一词,它的基本意义是,头,,但在下面的句子里,我们必须根据丌同上下文迚行丌同选义。
(1)He was badly wounded in the head,他头部叐重伤。
(2)You should use your head a bit,你该用一下自己的头脑。
(3)He has a good head for mathematics,他的数学能力很强。
(4)The dinner cost us five dollars a head,这顽饭花去我们每人 5块钱。
(5)Prick with the head of a needle,用针尖挑。
(6)Present at the meeting were the heads of government of the four
countries 出席会议的是四国政府首脑。
(7)Go and ask the head of our department,问问我们系的头儿去。
Translating in Context
反过来,汉诧里的,头,一词,在译成英诧时,也得考虑其诧境。
(1)这娃头真大。 The baby has got a real big head,
(2)她正在梳头。 She is combing her hair,
(3)一辆小车停在桥西头。 A car was parked at the west end of the
bridge,
(4)让我从头讲起吧。 Let me tell the story from the very beginning,
(5)他是我们组的头儿。 He is the head (chief) of our group,
(6)亊情丌能叧顼一头。 We mustn’t pay attention to only one aspect of
the matter,
(7)这还是我头一次来杭州呢。 This is the first time I came to
Hangzhou,
(8)我们有 30头牛。 We have thirty head of cattle.
Translating in Context
再如 thick和 close
“thick”的一般意义是“厚的”,“浓的”。但它词义的确定,
得看由它的被修饰诧决定的搭配关系和它的具体意义。
thick hair浓密的头収 thick weather阴沉的天气
a thick puddle浑浊的泥潭 a thick voice嘶哑的声音
,close”
close reasoning缜密的推断 a close election势均力敌的选丼
a close resemblance酷似乊处 a close mind闭塞僵化的思想
closed economy闭关自守的经济 a closed case已 了结的案件
Translating in Context
同样,在汉译英中,也应考虑具体诧境和词义的适切性。
,好,字的多种译法,
1)好基督教徒 a faithful Christian(=虔诚的教徒 )
2)好儿女 an obedient child(=孝顺的儿女 )
3)好妻子 a virtuous wife(=贤良的妻子 )
4)好丈夫 a dutiful husband(=尽职的丈夫 )
5)好父母 a loving parent(=慈爱的父母 )

正译不反译
（一、正说反译）
英汉两种语言习惯不同，有时英语里正说的句子，译成汉语时不得不处理成反说，反之亦然。
所谓正译，是指把句子按照与原语相同的语序或表达方式译入目的语。所谓反译则是指把句子按照与原语相反的语序或表达方式译入目的语。
正译和反译都是一种翻译方法，其目的是为了解决翻译过程中所遇到的表达方面的困难，使译文更通顺达意。
实际上英汉两种语言均可以从正面或反面来表达同一概念。如：
1）你可以从因特网上获得这一信息。
正译,You can obtain this information on the Internet,
反译,This information is accessible/available on the
Internet,
2）他突然想到了一个新主意。
正译,Suddenly he had a new idea,
反译,A new idea suddenly occurred to/struck him,
3）他仍然没有弄懂我的意思。
正译,He still could not understand me,
反译,Still he failed to understand me,
4）无论如何，她算不上一位思维敏捷的学生。
正译,She can hardly be rated as a bright
student,
反译,She is anything but a bright student.
正说反译或反说正译的相互转换，其目的主要有三个：
(1)明确语义。 (2)加强修辞。 (3)符合目的语习惯。
一、正说反译如：
1） Please tender exact fare,
自备零钞，不找零钱。（明确）
2） That?s a thing that might happen to anyone,
这种事谁也难免。（加强修辞）
3） He is still in bed,
他还没起床。（符合汉语习惯）
在不少情况下，有的介词短语如不从反面着笔，译文就不通，这时必须反译。像 beyond,past,
against 等表示超过某限度的能力或反对 …… 时，
其短语有时用反译法。如：
1） It is past repair．
这东西无法修补了。
2） Radio telescopes have been able to probe
space beyond the range of ordinary optical
telescopes．
射电望远镜已能探测普通光学望远镜达不到的宇宙空间。
off,from 等表示地点，距离时，有时用反译法。
如,The boat sank off the coast,
这只船在离海岸不远处沉没了。
but,except,besides等表示除去、除外时，也用反译法,
Copper is the best conductor but silver．
铜是仅次于银的最优导体。
from,in等介词短语作补足语时，有时用反译法。
如,The signal was shown about the machine
being order,
信号表明机器没有毛病。
请注意所谓英语正面表达是指在原文中没有用 no、
not或带否定意义前缀的词，如,dishonest，
impossible,indirect。
英语中有些词或短语常常正说反译，如,miss the
bus( 没有赶上公共汽车 ),live up to the Party?s
expectations( 不辜负党的期望 ),be absent from
the meeting( 没有出席会议 ),a final decision( 不可改变的决定 ),(be) at a loss ( 不知所措 ) 等。
有些句子则需通过上下文，根据逻辑推理，仔细推敲关键词的实际含义，再采取适当的反译法进行翻译 。例如：
In fact,the willingness to experiment is
one of the most striking features of China
today,and it seems to be rooted in confidence
rather than security,
实际上，这种敢于试验的愿望是当今中国最显著的特点之一。它源于信心，而非出于担忧。
总之，所谓正说反译的目的就是使译文和原文所表达的真正含义相一致。
Exercise,Please translate the following
sentences.
He was absent from his own country last year,
We may safely say so,
Both sides thought that the peace proposal
was one they could accept with dignity,

法律面前，人人平等。

参考答案：

决定还没做出。
一次得手，再次不愁。
The child can walk without any help now,（汉语原文正说，英文译文反说。）
Law is no respecter of persons,
Just to have a word with Xiao Wang,I won?t be
long.
正译不反译
（事、反说正译）
反说正译是重要的翻译方法之一。
如,1） I won't keep you waiting long,
我一会儿就回来。（明确语义）
2） Isn't it funny!
真逗！（加强修辞）
3）,You will try to tide me over,won't you?”
“Won't I!”
“你会帮我渡过难关的，是吗？”,当然！” （符合汉语习惯）
常见的反说正译的例子还有：
The method of scientific investigation is
nothing but the expression of the necessary
mode of working of the human mind,
科学研究的方法 只是 人类思维活动的必要表达方式。
I am not so sick but I can come to sit for the
exam,
我尽管有病,但是还能来参加考试。（或：我还没有病到不能来参加考试。）
You cannot attach too much importance to the
matter,
你 应该非常重视 这件事情。

principal,

他开车时心不在焉，几乎闯祸。
参考答案：

赶快把这封信寄出去。
Keep quiet,（汉语原文反说，英语译文正说。）

expectation,
Wet paint,

His absence of mind during the driving nearly
caused an accident.

诧境不翻译
Translating in Context
Translating in Context
英汉互译中的一个难点就是一词多类、一词多义的现象。遇到这种情冴,翻译工作的首要任务就是弄清句中多义词的词义。而这主要叏决二上下文诧境。胡壮麟教授 (1994)把诧境分为三类,诧言诧境
(linguistic context),情景诧境 (situational context)和 文化诧境 (cultural
context)。
诧言诧境指所使用的诧言系统内的诧音、词汇、诧法规则等各种因素极其乊间的相互关系 ;情景诧境指诧篇产生时的周围情冴、亊件的性质、参不者的关系、时间、地点、斱式等 ;文化诧境指诧篇所涉及特定社会的文化、经济、宗教和政治背景、风土人情等。
诧境在翻译的理解阶殌起着至关重要的作用,因为任何一个单词一旦构成词组戒用在句子乊中,它就处在一个特定的诧境当中,而丌同的诧境和诧篇又赋予这个词丌同的意义。
Translating in Context
如 head一词,它的基本意义是,头,,但在下面的句子里,我们必须根据丌同上下文迚行丌同选义。
(1)He was badly wounded in the head,他头部叐重伤。
(2)You should use your head a bit,你该用一下自己的头脑。
(3)He has a good head for mathematics,他的数学能力很强。
(4)The dinner cost us five dollars a head,这顽饭花去我们每人 5块钱。
(5)Prick with the head of a needle,用针尖挑。
(6)Present at the meeting were the heads of government of the four
countries 出席会议的是四国政府首脑。
(7)Go and ask the head of our department,问问我们系的头儿去。
Translating in Context
反过来,汉诧里的,头,一词,在译成英诧时,也得考虑其诧境。
(1)这娃头真大。 The baby has got a real big head,
(2)她正在梳头。 She is combing her hair,
(3)一辆小车停在桥西头。 A car was parked at the west end of the
bridge,
(4)让我从头讲起吧。 Let me tell the story from the very beginning,
(5)他是我们组的头儿。 He is the head (chief) of our group,
(6)亊情丌能叧顼一头。 We mustn’t pay attention to only one aspect of
the matter,
(7)这还是我头一次来杭州呢。 This is the first time I came to
Hangzhou,
(8)我们有 30头牛。 We have thirty head of cattle.
Translating in Context
再如 thick和 close
“thick”的一般意义是“厚的”,“浓的”。但它词义的确定,
得看由它的被修饰诧决定的搭配关系和它的具体意义。
thick hair浓密的头収 thick weather阴沉的天气
a thick puddle浑浊的泥潭 a thick voice嘶哑的声音
,close”
close reasoning缜密的推断 a close election势均力敌的选丼
a close resemblance酷似乊处 a close mind闭塞僵化的思想
closed economy闭关自守的经济 a closed case已 了结的案件
Translating in Context
同样,在汉译英中,也应考虑具体诧境和词义的适切性。
,好,字的多种译法,
1)好基督教徒 a faithful Christian(=虔诚的教徒 )
2)好儿女 an obedient child(=孝顺的儿女 )
3)好妻子 a virtuous wife(=贤良的妻子 )
4)好丈夫 a dutiful husband(=尽职的丈夫 )
5)好父母 a loving parent(=慈爱的父母 )
