10、法：如果不忠實于原文的內(nèi)容，只忠實于原文的形式，那就不是直譯，而是硬譯，如魯迅批評過的把 the milky way(天河，銀河)譯成“牛奶路”。,14,,濫譯法：如果不忠實于原文的內(nèi)容，只追求通順的譯文形式，那也不是意譯，而是濫譯，如把rub one’s hands “搓自己的雙手”譯成“摩拳擦掌"。濫譯是翻譯中的自由主義。,15,,無論直譯、意譯，都要符合“忠實、通順”的標準(許淵沖1984: 5)當譯文的形式和原文的形

11、式一致的時候,就無所謂直譯、意譯。如把Disasters never come single 譯成“禍不單行”，內(nèi)容和形式都忠實于原文，既可以說是直譯,也可以說是意譯。當譯文的形式和原文的形式不一致的時候，就有直譯或意譯的問題，而且直譯可以有程度不同的直譯，意譯也可以有程度不同的意譯，如：,16,,He had about as much chance of getting a job as of being chosen mayor

12、 of Chicago. (J. London)(1)他找到工作的機會和當選芝加哥市長的機會幾乎差不多。（直譯的程度最大） (2)他要找到工作簡直跟要當選芝加哥市長同樣困難。（直譯的程度減少，意譯的程度增加）(3)他找到工作的機會簡直微乎其微。(意譯的程度最大）,17,To sum up,所謂直譯，就是既保持原文內(nèi)容、又保持原文形式的翻譯方法或翻譯文字。譯文的語言（或目的語）與原文的語言(或始發(fā)語）常常用相同的表達形式來體現(xiàn)同

13、樣的內(nèi)容，并能產(chǎn)生同樣的效果。在這種情況下，我們就采用直譯。,18,,所謂意譯，就是只保持原文內(nèi)容、不保持原文形式的翻譯方法或翻譯文字。譯文的語言(或目的語)與原文的語言(或始發(fā)語)在許多情況下并不用同樣的表達形式來體現(xiàn)同樣的內(nèi)容，更談不上產(chǎn)生同樣的效果。在這種情況一般采用意譯為好。,19,,直譯與意譯的對象可以是包括成語在內(nèi)的單詞和詞組，也可以是句下面我們就來分析直譯與意譯在單詞、成話和句下翻譯中的運用。,20,詞語的直譯意譯,1)

39、面一共有3種譯文，其中第二種譯文過于機械死板，完全按照原文的字面一字一字地硬譯，而第三種譯文完全不顧原文的形式，故意把這首詩譯成了散文形式。雖信不達,其忠實程度遠不及第一首既信又達的直譯。）,48,,4)革命是解放生產(chǎn)力，改革也是解放生產(chǎn)力。直譯；Revolution emancipates productive forces, so does reform.意譯：Revolution means the emancipation

40、 of the productive forces, and so does reform 。(上面的直譯是形似而神不似，而上面的意譯是形不似卻神似，而且是地道的英語，是一個優(yōu)于直譯的譯文。）,49,,一般說來，可以直譯的成分可以意譯，可以意譯的成分也可以直譯， 但在特定的上下文中，直譯與意譯之間總會有一個優(yōu)劣問題。譯者往往可通過比較在兩者中挑選比較合適的一個，但是，由于文化對語言的影響，有些語言成分只能意譯，而不能直譯，這主要體現(xiàn)

41、在受本國文化影響最深的成語和諺語上面。在這種情況下，按字面意義翻譯的就不再是直譯，而是死譯。請看下面的例子。,50,,1) hand in glove with意譯：和一…狼狽為奸（死譯：戴著手套和…一合作)2) once in a blue moon意譯：千載難逢(死譯：一個藍色月亮里的一次）,51,,3) 亂七八糟意譯：at sixes and sevens(死譯：seven disorders and eight

43、its own nest. 意譯：家丑不可外揚,，(死譯：弄臟自己巢的鳥的確是一只壞鳥。）7) 表壯不如里壯 《紅樓夢》，第六十八回意譯：A sound wife counts for more than a sound husband. (死譯：The external strength is not so much as the internal strength.),55,,外甥打燈籠——照舅（舊）意譯：act

44、according to the old ways(死澤：The nephew carrying a lantern ― showing the way for his uncle (doing things in the old fashion)),56,,直譯與意譯是翻譯中一個非?；A(chǔ)的理論問題，也是各種翻譯方法研究的出發(fā)點。 一個篇章、一部作品的翻譯一般都要涉及直譯與意譯，不同的篇章、不同的作品在直譯與意譯的程度上自然會有所不同

45、。一般說來，法律文獻、政治文獻、學(xué)術(shù)文獻、新聞報道要求有更多字面對應(yīng)準確性很強的直譯，而歌詞、詩詞、抒情散文、舞臺或電影劇本、小說、傳記則要求使用更多不求字面對應(yīng)，只求可讀性的意譯,在翻譯中能否恰如其分地把握好直譯與意譯的程度顯示了 一個譯者翻譯水平的高低。提高這方面的水平需要不斷的實踐和不斷的理論學(xué)習(xí)。,57,,,58,,Foreignizing Translation (異化翻譯）and Domesticating T

48、,61,Foreignization,（異化譯法是偏離民族主義的，對譯入語文化價值施加壓力，使其關(guān)注外語文本的語言和文化差異，把讀者帶入外國情景，體驗外國人的閱讀感受）。,62,Foreignization,換言之，異化譯法要求譯者向原文作者靠攏，采取原文作者使用的表達方式傳達原文的內(nèi)容，如把to kill two birds with one stone “一石兩鳥”，把all roads lead to Rome譯為“條條大路通羅馬

52、譯法采取民族中心主義的態(tài)度，使外語文本符合譯入語的文化價值觀，把原作者帶入譯入語文化 .換言之，歸化譯法要求譯者向譯文讀者靠攏，采取譯文讀者習(xí)慣的譯語表達方式傳達原文的內(nèi)容。,67,,如把kill two birds with one stone譯為"一箭雙雕"、"一舉兩得"，把grow like mushrooms譯為"雨后春筍"，把All roads lead to Rom

53、e譯為"殊途同歸"等都是歸化譯法。,68,,翻譯中"歸化"和"異化"不僅是不矛盾的，而且是互為補充的。文化移植需要多種方法和模式。應(yīng)用翻譯的目的論理論skopos theory，對翻譯中涉及的各種因素作綜合的分析，譯者既可采用"歸化"的原則和方法，也可采用"異化"的原則和方法。,69,,至于在譯文中必須保留哪些源語文化，怎樣保留，哪些源語

54、文化的因素又必須作出調(diào)整以適應(yīng)目的語文化，都可在對作者意圖、翻譯目的、文本類型和讀者對象等因素分析的基礎(chǔ)上作出選擇。對譯者來說，重要的是在翻譯過程中要有深刻的文化意識，即意識到兩種文化的異同。,70,,必須指出兩點。一是不論在當代或在歷史上，以目的語文化為歸宿的原則似乎是占了上風。這是因為評論家和出版商往往更注重譯作的可讀性，一般的讀者也喜歡通順易懂的譯文，而且， 這一傾向也正好與翻譯研究發(fā)展的趨向相一致。,71,,二是隨著兩種文化接觸

55、的日益頻繁，以源語文化為歸宿的原則將越來越有可能廣泛地被運用，最終可能會占上風。但不管怎么發(fā)展，"歸化"和"異化"將永遠同時并存，缺一就不成其為翻譯。,72,Some useful tips,Translation is a continual tug-of-war between faithfulness and smoothness, literalism and liberalism, fo

59、意譯的關(guān)系,直譯與意譯這兩種方法并無優(yōu)劣之分，也并非是對立的，而是相輔相成的，關(guān)鍵在于如何正確使用他們。如：1.When I want your opinion, I’ll ask for it.當我需要你的意見時，我會問你的。請不要插嘴。2.You are late for the last time.這是你最后一次遲到了。你被解雇了。,3. Don’t cross the bridge till you get to i
