(1(世博英文翻譯公司)1(世博英文翻譯公司)) Little in his childhood suggested he would someday become a bridge across Latin and Anglo cultures.
他童年時代沒有表現出他會成為溝通拉丁文化與英國文化的橋梁。
(Anglo culture如直譯為"盎格魯?撒克遜文化",則不夠通俗,典型的英國人常常也被稱為"盎格魯?撒克遜人"。)
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)2) Words are not themselves a reality but only representation of it, and the King's English, like the Anglo-French of the Normans, is a class representation of reality.
單詞本身并不是客觀物體,只不過是代表客觀體而已;像日爾曼人的盎格魯法語一樣,標準英語也是一種代表客觀體的語言。
(King's English不能直譯為"國王英語",它是指標準英語,相當于漢語中的"普通話"。)
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)3(世博北京翻譯公司)). The young girl thumbed her way to the passing cars.
那個年輕的姑娘站在路邊不停地向來往的汽車擺動著豎起的拇指表示她要搭車。
(thumbed her way 為英語手勢語,意為 "站在路邊向來往的汽車擺動著豎起的拇指表示她要搭車",在漢語中沒有這種手勢語,翻譯時只有采用釋義法,以便讓我國讀者明白其意.)
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)4). At 1(世博英文翻譯公司)9 he had commenced one of those careers attractive and inexplicable to ordinary mortals for whom a single bankruptcy is good as a feast.
他1(世博英文翻譯公司)9歲時就已經走上了一條在普通人看來是極富吸引力而又不可理解的道路,普通人認為,只是一次破產就叫人夠嗆了。
(good as a feast 如直譯為 "像豐盛的宴席一樣好",意思正好反了.直接釋明其意 "叫人夠嗆",地道通順.)
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)5) She and her mother are as like as two peas.
她和她母親長得一模一樣.
(as like as two peas 不能譯為 "像兩顆豌豆一樣相似")
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)6) Look at the chaps in politics and business, whose whole lives were passed in skating on thin ice, and getting knighted for it.
試看那些政治上和商業上的家伙們, 他們整個兒的生活都是在風險中度過的,可是都因此封了爵.
( skating on thin ice 如直譯為 "如履薄冰", 讓人產生謹小慎微的聯想, 與原意不符, 故譯其意 "在風險中度過".)
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)7) Mr. Kingsley and his Red Brick boys will have to look to their laurels.
金斯利先生和他那些二流大學的學生們必須小心翼翼地保持已經取得的榮譽。
(Red Brick又稱Red Brick Universities,指英國除牛津、劍橋大學以外的其他地方性二流大學。因其建筑主要是紅磚砌成,不象牛津、劍橋的建筑均為古色古香的石塊所建成,故得此名。
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)8) Clearly a tug of war over key policies continues between the pragmatic and ideological camps.
不言而喻,注重務實的和強調意識形態的兩大營壘還會在重大政策上爭吵不休.
(tug of war 本意為 "拔河", 在此處為比喻用法, 指 "雙方勢均力敵,爭吵不休", 直譯顯然不妥, 故采用釋義法.)
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)9) 他們為敵人效盡犬馬之勞。
They worked faithfully in the service og the enemie.
(20) 我們決不能姑息養奸。
We should never warm snakes in our bosoms.
(21(世博英文翻譯公司)) 敵軍鬧得全村雞犬不寧。
The enemy troops threw the whole village into great disorder.
(22) 她毛遂自薦來這所小學做老師。
She volunteered to the teaching post in this primary school.
(23(世博北京翻譯公司)) 否則,袖手旁觀,守株待兔,就變成了長期不抗不戰了。
Otherwise, standing by with folded arms and waiting for gains without pains will prove to be nothing but long term nonresistance.
(24)繼續開展“掃黃”、“打非”斗爭。We should continue to eliminate pornography and other illegal publications
增詞
英漢兩種語言由于表達方式不盡相同,翻譯時常常有必要在譯文的詞量上作適當的增加,使譯文既能忠實地傳達原文的內容和風格,又能符合譯入語的表達習慣。但是增詞必須是根據具體情況增加非增加不可的詞語。增詞一般用于以下三種情況:一是為了語法上的需要;二是為了意義上的需要;三是為了修辭上的需要。
