<正> 上期已经介绍过,本次练习取材于美国人Jonathan Spence写的God's ChineseSon一书。该书为一部太平天国史,虽为史书,但丝毫没有学究气,叙述十分生动,而生动的语言又未影响史实的准确性。准确是史书之所以为史书的根本,这一点在翻译历史题材的时候应当予以充分注意。另外,作者使用了"历史现在时",也使人觉得书中的史实有如发生在眼前,为该书增色不少。还有一点需要注意的是文中的专有名词必须查清方可下笔,因为这也是译文准确性的一个重要方面。好了,下面先看一下这段文字的中译

<正> 《深夜幽会》是一首素描诗。因是素描,所以全诗十行没有大起大落戏剧性的感情变化,没有信誓旦旦火一般的爱情表白,只有诗人用意象传达给读者的经验和感觉。诗人在《深夜幽会》中用的最多的是视觉意象。他把自己的经验,通过读者的眼睛,送达读者的大脑,再栩栩如生地出现在读者眼前,使其产生亲临其境的感觉,仿佛诗中所描述的一切都是亲眼所见。正是因为诗人在诗中成功地运用了视觉意象,读者才能在吟诵诗歌的同时,欣赏到苍茫的海水(the grey sea),昏

<正> 长期以来,我们的教科书、语法书或翻译理论书籍,多把英语的定语从句分为限制性和非限制性两大类。其实,这是就定语从句的性质而言的,可看成是一种横向的分类。笔者在长期教学和翻译实践中,接触了大量的、多种多样的定语从句,以为仅把它们分成上述两类是远远不够的。为便于教学和翻译,笔者认为,就定语从句的形式而言,从纵向分类来看,还可以把它们分成简单的定语从句和复杂的定语从句。而复杂的定语从句又有几种形式:一是自由式定语从句,二是嵌套式定语从句,三是并列式定语从句,四是一主二仆式定语从句。本文拟对这些定语从句的翻译作些分

<正> 英语中有许多副词和副词词组可以表达说话人(或写作者)对自己所说的话或对谈话(写作)对象的态度,这类副词被称为"观点副词";又因为其说明的是整个句子,所以有的语法书又称其为"句子副词"(Sentence adverbs)。如作者或说话者用诸如evidently或clearly等副词来表示他要作出的结论;用honestly或frankly强调其诚恳;用normally或generally进行概括;用briefly或inshort表示不想赘述或详谈。观点副词与其它副词的区别并不在于它们的形式或它们所处的位置,而在于它们在句中的作用。请对比:

<正> 用英语如何表达"世外桃源" 在英语词汇里,这方面的说法有不少。例如,a lotus land,an earthly paradise,a heaven ofpeace and happiness,a beautiful retreat from the turmoil of theworld,等等。这些词语在表达上有所不同,但都体现了"世外桃源"的特点:美好、安宁,全无尘世纷争。然而,如果用英语表达我国晋朝诗人陶渊明笔下的"世外桃源"(桃花源),则往往离不开"桃花"一词,一般定译为the land ofpeach blossoms,以毛泽东诗句"陶令不知何处去,桃花源里可耕田 "为例,外文出版社出版的《毛泽东诗词》英译本(1976)翻译如

<正> 在一些正式场合或日常交流中,人们常用一种比较婉转、文雅的话来表达一些难听的、不便直说的、粗俗的或所忌讳的事物和概念,这就是所谓的委婉语,英文叫做euphemism。前缀eu表示"好"(good),如:eugenics,eulogy等,词根pheme的意思是"话"(speech),整个单词的意思是说好听的话,即(comfortablewords)。委婉语通过语法和词汇手段来表达,其中以词汇为主,比如,It might be helpful to try the new method.I don't think shecould be wrong.这两个句子分别通过过去时和否定句来表示委婉。这种修辞方式在英语中运用得非常广泛,下面简要地介绍一下英语中一些常见的委婉语。委婉语是一种修辞,它的产生主要是为了社会交往更加方便,
