1、英语翻译技巧:实用的口译技巧英语翻译技巧:好用的口译技巧 1、句式调整 同传在词语的翻译上可以做到地道和相对精确,但句子结构不行能像交传那样根据中文的句式习惯组织支配,对于英汉传译,往往须要采纳英语句式的依次: Frankly, ideas and goods will travel around the globe with or without our help. 坦率地讲,思想和商品都将会在全球流通,不管有没有我们的帮助。 2、断句和巧用连词 处理长句是同传的基本功之一。翻译长句,除了断成译群外,还有一个关键要驾驭,即英文句子之所以长是因为要避开重复运用同一个词,于是用 who、whic
2、h、that 来代替主语或宾语,使得句子很长,而在中文中就不怕重复运用。 That is the single monetary policy which will be discussed at the next European Union conference. 那就是单一货币政策 / 该政策将在下一届欧盟会议上探讨。 为了保证译出语的连贯性和精确性,同传时尽量运用译入语的文法结构,在将其断为多个句群后可以运用一些润滑剂,即连词,将单个的句群联系起来。 3、调整依次 在一些有after和before的句子中可以将其反说,比如: I would like to make one point
3、 clear before I move on to the next point. 我想先澄清一下,然后再讲下一部分。 I would like to move on to the next part after I clarify one point. 我想谈下一部分,在这之前先澄清一点。 4、转换词性 名词转动词 the development and application of new telecom service 假如听到整句主语后才起先切入翻译会稍显滞后,此时可以试着将这些名词译成动词,这样其实也符合英语的表达方式。可译为:开发和运用新的电信业务。 In China, the
4、full opening up and the profound reform in the public services areas to the foreign encounter parts greatly give impetus to the development of the tertiary industry. 可将此句译成:在中国, 全面开放和深化改革公共服务领域,并将其向国外同行开放,这会极大推动第三产业的发展。 还有一些同类表达: clear evidence of 清晰地表明 give impetus to 有力地推动 an obvious violation of
5、明显违反了 被动转主动 英语中大量运用被动句,目的主要是为了强调或者平衡句子结构。这种表达方式与汉语有较大差别,造成翻译英语中的被动语态时比较吃力,特殊是当句子主语较长时,在这种状况下,建议将语态由被动转成主动,往往会有柳暗花明之感: Arrangement must be made to guarantee the basic life necessities could be available to the people in the earthquake hit areas. 必需做出支配 Chinas diplomatic practice is seriously guided b
6、y the five principles of mutual peaceful coexistence. 中国的外交活动是严格遵循原则的,即和平共处五项原则。 5、刚好调整错误 一般来说,在同传中不会有回过头来重新改正自己错误的可能性,但也不肯定,所以,假如具备了改错空间,当然提倡有错必改。 调整是同声翻译中的校译过程,是译员依据接收到的新内容调整信息、订正错译、补充漏译的重要环节。如英语中的时间、地点状语等大多出现在句尾,在运用“顺句驱动”翻译时,会出现译完主句又出现状语的状况。 翻译资格考试口译初级模拟试题 A new era is upon us.
