1、Lecture 10 汉译英中谓语的处理一汉英语言谓语的差异1英语谓语的基本特征1）英语谓语必须以动词为基础和核心，除了动词， 任何其它次类都不能取代谓语动词这个主体成分。2）英语谓语动词和主语必须一致认，即 concord（或 agreement ，指动词的形式和主语的人称和数必须一致）。构成英语主谓一致这一规范的原则包括：A语法原则（ Grammatical Principle ）例：Trousers often bag at the knees. 裤子常在膝盖处松垂得像个袋子。B逻辑原则（ Logical Principle ）例：Half the boys are here. （可数）
2、Half the vehicle has been damaged.（不可数）C靠近原则（ Principle of Proximity ）谓语动词的人称和数可以与最靠近它的词语取得一致。例：Not only the students but the teacher objects to the plan. 例：Either my children or I am going. D惯用法原则（ Principle of Idiomaticness）例：There is more than one opinion in this case. 例：Five times eight is forty

4、。汉语中可以构成谓语的词统称谓词，分为三大类：动词性谓词形容词性谓词代词性谓词例：诚招天下客。（招：动词）Honesty wins over wider patronage. (patronage: customers support for a shop, restaurant, etc.) 例：这种行为很不道德。 （不道德：形容词）This conduct is immoral. 例：你们厂里情况怎么样？（怎么样：不定代词）What do you think of your factory? 例：七月二十二日她生日。 （她生日：名词词组）名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - -

6、e. 二汉译英中谓语转换的对策1对应汉译英中谓语对应式翻译的情况并不少见，在公文、经贸、科技文体中尤其如此。 其得以实现的依据是人类感知的共性，这种共性使思维语言形式获得了同构。例：中华文明历来注重以民为本。The Chinese civilization has always given prominence to the people. 例：耶鲁大学是中美教育合作的先行者。Yale is a forerunner in Sino-US educational exchanges. 2调整例：令行禁止Orders and prohibitions are made to be enforce

8、The discipline is weak. （词类调整）例：银根奇紧Money is getting tighter and tighter. （词类调整）3补充汉语缺乏形态标定，句子可以非常简约（或缺主，或缺谓，或主谓皆缺） 。这就迫使我们添词补义，从汉语原文中引出主谓来。例： “说我？那当然，过去够意思。可以把人逗得如痴如醉。如今，变了，不是我，是人。喜怒哀乐天天变。 ”（ “你说的是我吗？那当然，我过去是够意思的。我可以把人逗得如痴如醉。如今，情况变了。不是我变，而是人变了：人们的喜怒哀乐天天在变。”）“ You mean me? Well, yes, I think I could

10、所受约束多， 在句子中不占优势。除少数并列句外，大多数英语句子只包含一个谓语动词，其他动态语义由动词的分词、 不定式等非谓语形式表达， 或由其他词类替代。1汉语连动谓语句的翻译连动谓语指在同一主语下，谓语部分由两个或两个以上的动词构成。这两个或多个谓语可以表现出并列、从属或链接等关系。在翻译汉语的连动谓语句时， 首先要判断原句谓语动词结构关系，并选择响应的英语连接词、不定式、分词、介词短语、副词等词汇或语法手段进行英译。A并列式连动句英译比较简单，一般情况下，两个或多个谓语动词按时间顺序先后出现，译成英语时只需加上并列连接词and，or，then 等；或者采用融合的方法，力求动态对应。例：看一

12、都是会客赴宴。He receives visitors and attends dinner parties as a routine. 但对于那些看似并列的谓语形式要多加小心，按时间顺序并列出现的汉语谓语动词在英译时只需一个谓语动词，其他动词以分词或不定式的形式表达。例：他们设法吸引大家，留住他们，使他们充分发挥才能。They seek to attract, retain and develop other people to their full abilities. 例：我批上衬衫，带上门，悄悄离开了。Putting on my shirt, I left the room quiet
13、ly, leaving the door closed. 例：我站在他旁边，手指放在按钮上，等候命令。I stood by him, my finger on the button, waiting for the order. 例：总裁一读报告，就铁青着脸，带着我急冲冲地朝工厂赶去。On seeing the report, the president became livid with rage and hurried to the workshop accompanied by me. 课堂练习：1他特别喜欢吃面条，一天三顿也不厌。名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - -

B从属式连动句汉语连动谓语句动词之间可以存在多种逻辑关系，如条件、目的、方式、对象等。这些关系很难从动词形式上判断，其逻辑关系取决于语义判断。例：你做完作业就回家吧。 （条件关系）You may go home as soon as you finish your homework. 例：他每天早上都开窗换气。 （目的关系）He opens t

17、 to go to work. C链接式连动句这是较为复杂的谓语连动形式。它是指同一主语按一定顺序或逻辑关系实施多个行为的结构。 此类机构结构英译的关键， 仍然是确定一个或两个动词为谓语动词，其他部分用分词、不定式、介词短语、从句等结构表达。例：她请假坐飞机回家探亲去了。She has asked for a leave to go home by air to see her family. 例：咱们哪天打电话约个时间见面谈谈好吗？Why don t we fix an appointment over the phone to meet for a chat some time? 例：每星

20、语式谓语句的英译兼语式谓语句，简称兼语句，句中有两个谓语动词，但不共有一个主语，事实上，前一个谓语动词的宾语是后一个动词的主语。例：我们真心祝你们幸福。We cordially wish you happy. 例：老师批评他做事马虎。His teacher criticized him for his carelessness. 汉语兼语句与英语的复合宾语结构相似。汉语中常用于兼语句的动词有：叫，让，要，请，劝，使，选，派，批评，表扬，喜欢，讨厌，宁愿等，可译成英语中相应的动词，兼语部分动词以分词，不定式，名词，形容词，或介词等形式表达。名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - -
