Translation 英汉互译要注意以下几点即要摆脱原文的束缚,又要避免过度的自由。要区别国际交流类的语篇和一般生活及人文类的语篇。科技,贸易,法律等领域的翻译强调准确,不能有过多的想象力;生活及人文类的翻译必须有丰富的想象力。实践是提高水平的唯一途径。除实践外,可以分领域阅读,如文学类,新闻类,科技类等。国际交流类语篇的特点是求同,要尽量找对应的词;一般生活类和人文类语篇可灵活处理。 Translationexercises英译汉:tokilltwobirdswithonestone直译:一石二鸟意译:一箭双雕;一举两得;2.toflogadeadhorse直译:鞭打死马意译:白费力;徒劳;白搭;惘然;徒然3.adropinthebucket直译:一桶水中的一滴意译:沧海一粟;太仓一粟;九牛一毛;微不足道;不足挂齿;渺小;不起眼;不值一提 汉译英过街老鼠直译:(like)aratcrossingthestreet意译:theobjectofuniversalcondemnation;abadmanhatedbyeverybody2.门庭若市直译:thecourtyardislikeamarket意译:amuchvisitedhouse;abusytown;bustling;crowed3.望梅止渴直译:togazeatplumstoquenchone’sthirst意译:toconsoleoneselfwithfalsehopes;tofeedonfancies/illusion;imaginedsatisfaction;aBarmecide(《一千零一夜》中一个口惠而不实的人物)feast 句子(英译汉)AndIdonotmistrustthefuture;Idonotfearwhatisahead.Forourproblemsarelarge;butourheartislarger.Ourchallengesaregreat,butourwillisgreater.Andifourflawsareendless,God’sloveistrulyboundless.直译:而我不是不相信未来,我不害怕即将来临的事情。因为我们的问题是大的,但是我们的信心更大。我们的挑战是大的,但是我们的决心更大。如果我们的缺点是没完没了的,上帝的爱是真正的无穷无尽的。意译:我并非不信任未来;我并不害怕我们面临的问题。我们的问题很多,但我们的心胸更宽广。我们面临的挑战很严峻,但我们的决心坚定无比。如果说我们的弊病是层出不穷的话,上帝的爱更是真正的广袤无边。 汉译英我们必须全力以赴,拿下这场球。我讨厌游手好闲的人。他是信口开河,他对经济是一窍不通。这些国家的经济是每况愈下。我们都被他的那种崇高气质所深深打动。1.Wemustdoourbesttowinthisgame.2.Idislikethepeopleeatingthebreadofidleness.3.Heisshootingoffhismouth.Hedoesnotknowthefirstthingofeconomy.4.Theeconomicsituationinthesecountriesisonthedowngrade.5.Weweregreatlymovedbyhisloftiness. 公司简介(汉译英)上海上外(集团)公司是由上海外国语大学创办,经上海市教卫办批准由市工商管理局注册登记的全市高校系统第一家综合性集团公司。它依托上海外国语大学人才,信息等综合优势,按现代企业制度规范操作运行。 答案TheshanghaiGroupCompanyofSISU,establishedbytheShanghaiInternationalStudiesUniversity(SISU),isthefirstcomprehensivegroupcompanyamongallthecollegesanduniversitiesinShanghairegisteredonthebookoftheShanghaiMunicipalIndustrialandCommercialAdministrationwithapprovaloftheShanghaiMunicipalEducationandPublicHealthOffice.WithacomprehensiveadvantageinthetalentsandinformationinSISU,thegroupcompanyworksinaccordancewiththestandardizationofthemodernenterprisesystem. 科技奇闻(英译汉)TheshoestringwasinventedinEnglandin1790.Priortothistimeallshoeswerefastenedwithbuckles.Theaverageleadpencilwilldrawaline35mileslongorwriteapproximately50,000Englishwords.Aballofglasswillbouncehigherthanaballmakeofrubber.Aballsolidsteelwillbouncehigherthanonemadeentirelyofglass.鞋带是1790年在英国发明的。在这以前所有的鞋子都是用扣子扣紧的。一支铅笔平均可以画一条35英里长的线,或写大约5万个英语单词。玻璃球比橡胶球弹得高。而实心的钢球比完全用玻璃制成的球弹得更高。 AssignmentsFindarecentnewspaper,chooseanewsof150wordstotranslate.OrTranslatethefollowingintoChinese:AsiacelebratesChristmaswithatwistFewAsiansareChristianbutpeopleacrossthevastcontinentareembracingtheholidayasagreatexcuseforshopping,partyingandevenromance.ComeDecember,ChristmaslightsbrightenshoppingstreetsincitiesfromBeijingtoColombo,whileimagesofSantaClausandRudolphadornofficebuildings,shopsandrestaurants.

Keytooption2虽然亚洲的基督教信徒很少,但是居住在这个世界第一大洲的人们也要"玩转"圣诞节,趁机享受一下购物和聚会的乐趣;而体验浪漫时光,更是这个节日的主题。12月以来,购物街上的璀璨灯光从北京一直亮到了科伦坡,办公楼、商店和餐馆里也都有了圣诞老人和红鼻子驯鹿的装点。印度尼西亚是穆斯林最多的国家,在圣诞节前夕,购物商城里频频播放着圣诞颂歌,比如《平安夜》、《铃儿响叮当》,为商城平添了几分节日的气氛。里娜·诺维安提是雅加达一家餐馆的招待,她头上戴着红色的圣诞老人帽,她说,"餐馆里的大多数员工虽然都是穆斯林,但是我们也过圣诞节,就像庆祝尔代节一样。"尔代节是斋月结束的标志,,穆斯林在斋月里从日出到日落是要禁食的。 '
