将进酒Bringing in the Wine 李白【唐】 By Li Bai 【Tang】君不见,黄河之水天上来,奔流到海不复回。 君不见,高堂明镜悲白发,朝如青丝暮成雪。 Don’t you see the Yellow River comes from the heavens and rushes into the sea never coming back. Don’t you see elderly parents sigh for their white hair when looking in the mirror ,black in the morning and white in the evening. 人生得意须尽欢,莫使金樽空对月。 We should enjoy ourselves to the utmost when proud and pleased ,and never leave the gold goblet empty to the moon. 天生我材必有用,千金散尽还复来。 I am endowed with talents for eventual use and plenty of money is sure to come again even if all is gone. 烹羊宰牛且为乐,会须一饮三百杯。 Cooking beef and mutton,we can make merry for the moment. We should drink three hundred goblets at a time. 岑夫子,丹丘生,将进酒,杯莫停。 与君歌一曲,请君为我倾耳听。 Mr Cen and Mr Yuan,never stop drinking please. I’d like to sing a song for you ,wishing you to listen attentively. 钟鼓馔玉不足贵,但愿长醉不复醒。 Invaluable to ring the bells and beat the drums while eating delicacies,and I wish I was too drunk to wake up. 古来圣贤皆寂寞,惟有饮者留其名。 Sages have been lonely since ancient times ,and only the drinker has left his name behind. 陈王昔时宴平乐,斗酒十千恣欢谑。 Once King Chensi gave a banquet at Ping-le Guan indulging in expensive wine. 主人何为言少钱,径须沽取对君酌。 Why do you say money is limited,my dear Host? Don’t hesitate to purchase good wine and let’s drink together. 五花马、千金裘,呼儿将出换美酒, 与尔同销万古愁! Why not call out the servant to trade precious horses and valuable furs for good liquor ? I will get drunk with you and get rid of all the sorrows of all ages. 【注释】 1. 将进酒:汉乐府旧题。将(qiāng):请 2. 高堂:指父母 3. 会须:应当 4. 岑夫子:指岑(cén)勋。丹丘生:元丹丘 5. 与君:给你们,为你们。 6. 馔(zhuàn)玉:美好的食物,形容食物精美如玉。 7. 陈王:陈思王曹植。平乐:观名,汉代富豪们的娱乐场所。 8. 恣(zì):放纵. 谑(xuè):玩笑。 9. 径须:干脆,只管。 10. 沽(gū):通“酤”,买或卖。 11. 酌(zhuó):饮酒,斟酒。 12. 五花马:指名贵的马。 13. 裘:皮衣。 14. goblet ['ɡɒblɪt] 酒杯,高脚杯 15. endow [ɪnˋdau] 天生具有 16. delicacy ['delɪkəsi] 珍馐,美味 17. sage  [seɪdʒ] 圣人,贤人 18. indulge [ɪn'dʌldʒ] 纵情享受 19. liquor ['lɪkə] 酒,烈性酒,白酒 20.

君不见黄河之水天上来,(韵一)奔流到海不复回。君不见高堂明镜悲白发,(韵二)朝如青丝暮成雪。人生得意须尽欢,莫使金樽空对月。天生我材必有用,千金散尽还复来。(韵三)烹羊宰牛且为乐,会须一饮三百杯。岑夫子,丹邱生,(韵四)将进酒,君莫停。与君歌一曲,请君为我侧耳听:“钟鼎玉帛岂足贵,但愿长醉不愿醒。古来圣贤皆寂寞,惟有饮者留其名。陈王昔时宴平乐,(韵五)斗酒十千恣欢谑。主人何为言少钱,径须沽取对君酌。”五花马,千金裘,(韵六)呼儿将出换美酒,与尔同销万古愁。现在再讲一篇李白的古题乐府诗《将进酒》,也是汉代短箫铙歌之一。汉代乐府歌辞原文,因为声辞杂写,故不能了解其意义。只有第一句是“将进酒”,后世文人拟作,都是吟咏饮酒之事。李白此诗,也沿袭旧传统,以饮酒为题材。这首诗用三言、五言、七言句法错杂结构而成,一气奔注,音节极其急促,表现了作者牢骚愤慨的情绪。文字通俗明白,没有晦涩费解的句子,这是李白最自然流畅的作品。全诗转换了六个韵。第一、二韵六句合为一段。此后每韵自成一个思想段落。开头四句用两个“君不见”引起你注意两种现象:“黄河之水天上来,奔流到海不复回”是比喻光阴一去不会重回,“高堂明镜悲白发,朝如青丝暮成雪”是说人生很快便会衰老。青春既不会回来,反而很容易马上进入老年,所以人生在得意的时候,应当尽量饮酒作乐,不要使酒杯空对明月。这是第一段的内容,它也象《蜀道难》一样,一开头就从题目正面落笔。“君不见”是汉代乐府里已经出现的表现方法,意思是“你没有看见吗?”跟我们现在新诗里用“看啊”、“你瞧”一样,是为了加强下文的语气。李白诗中常用“君不见”,这三个字不是诗的正文,读的时候应当快些。我们如果把两个“君不见”都删掉,也没有关系,诗意并无残缺。而且删掉之后,这一段就是整整齐齐的六个七言句,更可以看出这两个“君不见”是附加成分。在七言歌行中,这一类的附加成分,我们借用一个南北曲的名词,称之为“衬词”,因为它们只起陪衬的作用,不是歌曲的正文,唱起来也不占节拍。但是,如果“君不见”三字不在七言句之外,那就不能算是衬词。李白另一首诗云:“君不见梁王池上月,昔照梁王樽酒中。”(《携妓登梁王栖霞山孟氏桃园中》)这又是一种用法。如果把这个“君不见”也作为衬词,则第一句只有五字,而全诗却都是七言句。如果把“君不见”认为诗的正文,则这一句有八言了。在这种情况下,我们只能说:全句仍是七言,多出来的一个字是衬字。“君不见”三字只抵二字用,应当读得快,让它们只占两个字的音节。南北曲和弹词里,这种衬词很多,因此产生了这个名词。唐代虽然还没有这个名词,但象“君不见”之类的附加成分,实在已是曲子里用衬词的萌芽。此外,李白还有一首《答王十二寒夜独酌有怀》,中有:君不见,李北海,英风豪气今何在?君不见,裴尚书,土坟三尺蒿藜居。这是构成了两个三字句,也不能说是衬词了。第二段四句,大意说:天既生我这个人材,一定会有用处。千金用完,也不必担优,总会得再有的。眼前不妨暂且烹羊宰牛,快乐一下。应该放量饮酒,一饮就是三百杯。这一段诗,表面上非常豪放,其实反映着作者的牢骚与悲愤。言外之意是象我这样的人材,不被重用,以致穷困得在江湖上流浪。第三段再对两个酒友发泄自己的牢骚。岑夫子是岑勋,年龄较长,故称为夫子。丹邱生是一个讲究炼丹的道士元丹邱,李白跟他学道求仙,做了许多诗送他。这里,诗人劝他们尽管开怀畅饮,不要停下酒杯。我唱个饮酒歌给你们两位听:钟鼎玉帛,这种富贵排场的享乐,我以为不值得重视,我只愿意永远醉着不醒。自古以来,一切圣人、贤人都已经寂寞无名,谁也不知道他们。只有喝酒的人,象刘伶、陶渊明这些人,倒是千古留名的。从前陈思王曹植有两句诗道:“归来宴平乐,美酒斗十千。”(《名都篇》)是说他打猎回来,在平乐观里宴请朋友和从臣,饮万钱一斗的美酒,大家尽情欢乐谈笑,现在我们的主人为什么说没有钱,舍不得打酒呢?应该立刻就去打取美酒,来请大家喝个痛快。这一段四韵八句就是“请君为我侧耳听”的一曲歌,是诗中的歌。“钟鼎”是“钟鸣鼎食”的简用,“玉帛”是富贵人的服御。这四个字就代代富贵人的奢侈享受。诗人说,这些都不足贵重,只要有酒就成了。“主人”是讽刺他自己,也可以说是自嘲。上文说过“千金散尽还复来”,可见现在正是“少钱”的时候。钱少,也不要紧,酒总得要喝,于是引出了最后一段三句:好吧,现在手头虽然没有钱,家里还有一匹五花骏马,还有一件价值千金的狐裘,立刻叫儿子拿出去换取美酒,和你们喝个痛快,把千秋万古以来的愁绪一起销解掉。李白的诗,以饮酒、游仙、美女为题材的最多,后代的文学批评家常以此为李白的缺点。例如王安石就说:“李白诗词,迅快无疏脱处,然其识污下,十句九言妇人与酒耳。”所谓其识污下,就是世界观庸俗。这种批评,虽则也有人为李白辩护,但在李白的诗歌里,高尚、深刻的世界观确是没有表现。他只是一个才气过人的诗人,能摆脱传统创作流利奔放的诗篇。至于对人生的态度,他和当时一般文人并没有多大不同。早期的生活,就是饮酒作诗,到处旅游。后来跑到长安,认识了贺知章。贺知章极欣赏他的诗,把他推荐给玄宗。于是玄宗留他在宫里做一名翰林供奉。“翰林供奉”是所谓“文学侍从之臣”当明皇和杨贵妃赏花饮酒作乐的时候,找他来做几首新诗谱入歌曲。这就是翰林供奉的职务。它并不是一个官。然而李白做了翰林供奉却骄傲得很。他有好些诗自画他当时的得意情况:“归来入咸阳,谈笑皆王公。”(《东武吟》)又云:“王公大人借颜色,金章紫绶来相趋。”(《驾去温泉后赠杨山人》)这是说王公宰相都来和他交朋友了。“昔在长安醉花柳,五侯七贵同杯酒。”(《流夜郎赠辛判官》)是说当时和他饮宴的都是王公贵人。“当时笑我微贱者,却来请谒为交欢。”(《赠从弟南平太守之遥二首》)是说从前瞧不起我的人,现在都来巴结我了。此外,他还有不少诗句,夸耀他的得意时候。大约正是这种骄傲自大态度,得罪了不少人,使玄宗左右那些李林甫,杨国忠之流对他不能容忍,在玄宗面前挑拨了几句,他就被放逐出宫廷。他自己说当时是“骑虎不敢下,攀龙忽堕天”,可见他自己也早就觉察到已经处于骑虎之势,正在无法脱身,而被龙尾巴一掉,便从天上摔下来了。此后,他又恢复了饮酒浪漫的生活,把自己装成一个飘飘然有仙风道骨的高人逸士,不时在诗里讽刺一下政治,好象朝廷不重用他,就失去了天下大治的机会。《盐铁论》里有一段大夫讥笑文学的话:“文学裒衣博带,窃周公之服;鞠躬踧踖,窃仲尼之容;议论传诵,窃商赐之辞;刺讥言治,过管晏之才;心卑卿相,志小万乘。及授之政,昏乱不治。”这些话都切中文人之弊。他们平时高谈阔论,目空一切,“心卑卿相”,人人自以为是伊、吕、管、晏。及至给他一个官做,也未见得能尽其职守。唐代进士初入仕途,往往从县尉做起,可是诗人中也没有出类拔萃的好县尉,而他们常在诗中发牢骚,嫌位卑官小,屈辱了他这样的人才。这种孤芳自赏的高傲情绪,从屈原以来,早就在我国文学中形成一个传统,而李白的表现,特别发扬了这个传统。我以为我们学习古典文学,对历代作家这一种世界观的过度的表现,可以不必重视,更不宜依据他们的自我表扬,而肯定他们真是一个被压制的人才。李白的诗,是第一流的浪漫主义作品,他在盛唐时期诗坛上的情况,正和雨果在法国,拜伦在英国一样。游仙、饮酒、美人,是他的浪漫主义形式;嵚崎、历落①、狂妄、傲岸,是他的浪漫主义精神。但是他对政治社会的认识,还是消极因素多于积极因素。因此,我以为李白的诗,还不能说是一种积极的浪漫主义。就以饮酒为例,李白的饮酒和陶渊明的饮酒,显然不同。陶渊明的饮酒是作为一个农民,在劳作之后,饮几杯酒,以养性全神。他的饮酒的态度是:“泛此忘忧物,远我遗世情。”(《饮酒》之八)李白的态度是:“人生得意须尽欢。”陶渊明说人家“有酒不肯饮”是因为“但顾世间名”(《饮酒》之四),而李白却说:“惟有饮者留其名。”陶渊明为逃名而自隐于酒,李白则为争名而“一饮三百杯”。由此可知,陶渊明的饮酒,对人世社会好象是消极的,但他的人格却是积极的。李白则相反,他对人世社会好象还积极,而其人格却是消极的。我觉得李白的饮酒诗,只能比之为古代波斯诗人莪玛·哈耶谟和哈菲兹②,而不能和陶渊明相提并论。“古来圣贤皆寂寞,惟有饮者留其名。”这两句诗曾引起过一些封建卫道者的批评,以为李白过于狂妄,难道连先圣先贤如孔子、孟子者,都是默默无闻,只有酒鬼留名于后世吗?编《唐文粹》的姚铉就把“圣贤”改为“贤达”,代李白纠正了失言。这种批评,其实是多馀的,读文艺作品不能如此认真,如此老实。这两句诗,仅是艺术上的夸张手法,不必看成思想的真实。宋代人讲究诗的各种炼句方法,把这种格式的诗句称为“尊题格”。在一个对比中,为了强调甲方而大大地压低乙方,这叫作“强此弱彼”的句法。也就是“尊题”的意思。李白为了夸大饮者,而贬低了圣贤的后世之名。白居易的《琵琶行》云:“岂无山歌与村笛,呕哑嘲哳难为听。今夜闻君琵琶语,如听仙乐耳暂明。”为了夸张商妇弹琵琶的美妙,就说得江州地方没有中听的音乐,有的只是很难听的山歌与村笛。韩愈的《石鼓歌》云:“陋儒编诗不收入,二雅褊迫无委蛇。”为了夸大石鼓诗的典雅,甚至责怪孔子编《诗经》为什么不把这首诗收进去。还说,《诗经》中的大雅小雅两部分的诗都是很“褊迫”而无曲折的。甚至还说孔子是一个“陋儒”。又为了夸大石鼓文的书法,而贬低王羲之的书法是庸俗的:“羲之俗书逞姿媚,数纸尚可博白鹅。”以上二例,也都是尊题手法,在唐诗中是常见的。

Invitation To Wine Li Bai Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, Rushing into the sea and ne'er come back? Do you not see the mirror bright in chamber high Grieve o'er your snow-white hair that once was silken back? When hopes are won, oh, drink your fill in high delight And never leave your wine cup empty in moonlight! Heaven has made us talents; we're not made in vain. A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again. Kill a cow, cook a sheep and let us merry be, And drink three hundred cupfuls of wine in high glee! Dear friends of mine, Cheer up, cheer up! I invite you to wine. Do not put down your cup! I will sing you a song, please hear, O hear! Lend me a willing ear! What difference will rare and costly dishes make? I want only to get drunk and ne'er to wake. How many great men were forgotten through the ages? Great drinkers are better known than sober sages. The Prince of Poets* feasted in his palace at will, Drank wine at ten thousand coins a cask and laughed his fill. A host should not complain of money he is short; To drink together we'd sell things of any sort. The fur coat worth a thousand coins of gold And flower-dappled horse may both be sold To buy good wine that we may drown the woes age-old

⑴将(qiāng)进酒:请饮酒。乐府古题,原是汉乐府短箫铙歌的曲调。《乐府诗集》卷十六引《古今乐录》曰:“汉鼓吹铙歌十八曲,九曰《将进酒》。”《敦煌诗集残卷》三个手抄本此诗均题作“惜罇空”。《文苑英华》卷三三六题作“惜空罇酒”。将,请。⑵君不见:乐府诗常用作提醒人语。天上来:黄河发源于青海,因那里地势极高,故称。⑶高堂:房屋的正室厅堂。一说指父母,不合诗意。一作“床头”。青丝:喻柔软的黑发。一作“青云”。成雪:一作“如雪”。⑷得意:适意高兴的时候。⑸会须:正应当。⑹岑夫子:岑勋。丹丘生:元丹丘。二人均为李白的好友。⑺杯莫停:一作“君莫停”。⑻与君:给你们,为你们。君,指岑、元二人。⑼倾耳听:一作“侧耳听”。⑽钟鼓:富贵人家宴会中奏乐使用的乐器。馔(zhuàn)玉:形容食物如玉一样精美。⑾不复醒:也有版本为“不用醒”或“不愿醒”。⑿陈王:指陈思王曹植。平乐(lè):观名。在洛阳西门外,为汉代富豪显贵的娱乐场所。恣:纵情任意。谑(xuè):戏。⒀言少钱:一作“言钱少”。⒁径须:干脆,只管。沽:通“酤”,买。⒂五花马:指名贵的马。一说毛色作五花纹,一说颈上长毛修剪成五瓣。⒃尔:你。 [2-3] [4] 白话译文你可见黄河水从天上流下来,波涛滚滚直奔向大海不回还。你可见高堂明镜中苍苍白发,早上满头青丝晚上就如白雪。人生得意时要尽情享受欢乐,不要让金杯空对皎洁的明月。天造就了我成材必定会有用,即使散尽黄金也还会再得到,煮羊宰牛姑且尽情享受欢乐,一气喝他三百杯也不要嫌多。岑夫子啊、丹丘生啊,快喝酒啊,不要停啊。我为在坐各位朋友高歌一曲,请你们一定要侧耳细细倾听。钟乐美食这样的富贵不稀罕,我愿永远沉醉酒中不愿清醒。圣者仁人自古就寂然悄无声,只有那善饮的人才留下美名。当年陈王曹植平乐观摆酒宴,一斗美酒值万钱他们开怀饮。主人你为什么说钱已经不多,你尽管端酒来让我陪朋友喝。

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

VI. Outline

I. Introduction

A. A Brief Introduction of Ellipsis in Translation

B. What Should We Pay Attention to When Dealing with Ellipsis

C. The Reason Why Ellipsis Is So Widely Used in Translation

1. Chinese Expressions Are Much Briefer Than That of English

Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

翻译硕士怎么写开题报告

开题报告主要说明这个课题应该进行研究,自己有条件进行研究以及准备如何开展研究等问题,也可以说是对课题的论证和设计。开题报告是提高选题质量和水平的重要环节。以下是我整理的翻译硕士怎么写开题报告,欢迎阅读。

1、选题意义和背景。

随着中国加入世界贸易组织,中国企业的对外联系也日益增多。中国企业要想打入国际市场,提高在国际市场上的知名度,企业网站或宣传册上的企业简介扮演着十分重要的地位。通过阅读企业宣传资料,读者可以看出企业外宣材料既有关于企业的基本信息介绍,也有企业所做的文字上、句法上、结构上的这染来达到推广企业、大市场的目的。汉语企业外宣材料的翻译在英译过程中会涉及到与目的语不同的语言习惯、行文方式以及文化因素、社会政治因素、心理因素和审美因素等,这就需要译者对原文本做出适当调整,从内容和形式上对语篇进行重构,以此实现对交际意图的顺应。根据赖斯的文本类型说,本文有三种类型,分别是“信息型”、“表达型”和“诱导型”.笔者认为,企业外宣翻译属于“信息型”和“诱导型”文本兼而有之,而且更侧重于“诱导型”.因此,外宣翻译要更加注重文本的交际功能,要更多的考虑如何使译文所传递的信息更便于目的语读者理解和接受,并让读者产生共鸣,继而付诸行动,实现译文预期的功能。

比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschuem)提出了顺应论,将语言的使用过程看做语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态选择的过程。因而可以从顺应论的视角研究语言使用。翻译作为一种特殊的交际方式,也可以从顺应论的视角对其进行研究。优秀的企业宣传材料不仅会提高企业的知名度,还会为企业带来不可估量的经济效益,因此任何一个想打入国际市场的企业务必在其外宣材料的翻译上做足功夫。由于中西方文化背景、历史渊源、生活环境的不同,译者在翻译企业外宣材料时为了获取目的语读者的认可并激发他们付诸行动,就要顺应目的语读者的阅读习惯、审美习惯以及心理因素、文化因素等对原文做出形式上和内容上的调整,而这一顺应的过程也是语篇重构的过程。本文突破性的将顺应论与语篇重构结合起来,并结合西麦克展览公司宣传材料和海天调味食品股份有限公司宣传材料及其翻译,试图从顺应论的视角分析企业外宣翻译中的语篇重构现象。

2、论文综述/研究基础。

1987年维索尔伦(Verschueren)提出顺应论之后,在语用学界引起了很大反响,不久国内学者就将其引进到中国来。国内学者不仅从理论层面对顺应论进行研究和探索,而且将顺应论应用到翻译理论和实践、外语教学、二语习得、文化传播等领域。在这些领域中,成果最大的当属顺应论对翻译理论和其应用的研究。我国真正将顺应论引入翻译研究开始于21世纪初。

1 国外顺应论研究状况。

比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschueren)在《IprA工作文集》(IprA WorkingDocument 1) (1987, 45-48)中发表了一篇名为《作为顺应论的语用学》,标志着顺应论的提出。1995年,他较为详细并系统地在他主编出版的第一本《语用学手册》(handbook of Pragmatics)中对顺应论进行了进一步阐述。他认为,语言的使用过程就是语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态地选择的过程。他将语用学描述为关于语言整体的、功能性综观,并将语用学定义为语言和交际在认知、社会与文化方面的研究。1998年,阿萨卡瑟(AsaKasher)主编的《语用学的关键概念》Pragmatics;: Critical Concepts)论文集中,维索尔伦发表了一篇名为《交际动态过程的语用模式》(v4 Pragmatic model for the dynamatics of communication )的文章,主要研究了顺应论中顺应的动态性。1999年,在他的专着《语用学新解》(Understaning Pragmatics)中,维索尔伦强调了语用学的地位和作用,这本书的出现标志着顺应论走向成熟。该书主张把语用学当作一种研究视角,突破了以往学者将语用学看作语言学的一个核心分支(语音学、音位学、形态学、句法学、语义学)的看法,而认为语用学是一种语言功能的视角或纵观,贯穿于语言学研究和使用的方方面面,可以照应到语言的各个层次。运用这一视角,可以研究不同的语言材料。这是一种研究方法上的革命,可以为语言的不同层面进行语用分析,也为语用学的学科性质进行了重新定位。

2 国内顺应论研究状况。

钱冠连是国内第一位将顺应论引入中国进行研究的学者。在他发表在《外语教学与研究》上的《语用学:语言适应理论----Verschueren语用学新论评述》(1991,62-66)的文章中,将维索尔伦对语言适应包括五个方面,即适应的对象、层次、阶段、领悟程度和适应策略进行了分析,并且就语言适应、选择和语言功能综观三者的关系进行了探讨,认真分析对比了维索尔伦的语用学新论和以往的语用学的区别。他还在《外语教学与研究》上发表了一篇《语用学:统一连贯的理论框架〈如何理解语用学〉述评》(2000,230-232),该文章首先解释了语用学综观论的理论源头。维索尔伦从Morris的理论中得出了任何规则里都有语用成分,也能从不同的语言成分中审视到语用视角。其建设性意义体现在将语用学从语言学的并列学科出分割出来,使其不再属于语言资源的语言学,而是加入到语言使用的语言学去,作为是一种语言综观和视角来研究和使用,这不仅仅可以解决语用学问题,还为今后人们从语用学角度解释其他问题提供了一种新的视角。

国内除钱冠连外,2007年何自然主编的《语用三论:关联论顺应论模因论》一书也对维索尔伦的顺应论进行了详细介绍和评述。和以往语言学及语用学着作不同的是,该书紧紧把握住语用学研究与发展的方向,集语用学的三个前沿理论(关联论、顺应论、模因论)为一体来向国内读者进行西方翻译理论的介绍。

关于顺应论的部分,该书介绍了顺应论的理论来源、顺应论的三个核心概念、顺应论的视角观、顺应论的分析维度、顺应论的应用等。本书中理论与实例有效结合,为读者展现了顺应论的完整框架及其应用。该书指出,顺应论是宏观语用学的核心,顺应论为我们提供了一个研究和探讨语用学的全新视角。谭晓晨发表在《外语与外语教学》上的《语境的动态研究一--维索尔伦的语境适应论评介》(2000, 50-52)中介绍了维索尔伦的语境适应论,探讨了语言和语境互为构建的动态关系,指出动态生成的语境观是对传统语境研究及时而必要的补充。孙炬发表在《山东大学学报》上的《维索尔伦顺应论的语言哲学观》(2007,51-55)从语言哲学的立场阐释了维索尔伦的顺应论。语言的使用是哲学立场的反映,纵观维索尔伦的语用思想,折射出体现在意义观、心理认知观和语境观三个方面的语言哲学。此外,刘正光、吴志高从哲学、心理学以及语言学的角度论述了顺应论的理论基础,除了对语言顺应论做出肯定,他们还指出“将‘顺应’看成一把万能的朗匙,以解释所有的语言运用,有运用过度之嫌”(李元胜,2007:124)。

中国学者不仅专门对顺应论进行研究,还将其与其他理论结合或者将顺应论应用到不同的领域。在利用顺应论对其他问题进行研究的过程中,顺应论对翻译的研究占据多数。

从理论研究的角度来看,有的学者侧重于顺应论对翻译理论研究的启示,戈玲玲在发表在《外语学刊》上的《顺应论对翻译研究的启示----兼论语用翻译标准》(2000,7-11) -文中,为我们展现了语用翻译理论的发展历程,它超越了以往语言学研究的框架,将翻译看作是一种动态的信息交流活动。文章还指出,根据顺应论,语言和语境之间的顺应是一个相互的过程,两者可以相互影响,同样,翻译作为语言转换的过程,也会涉及到原语和目的语之间的相互顺应,这种顺应应该以满了交际双方的需要为目的,对交际语境、语言的选择和语言结构做出改变。

有的学者从顺应论的角度分析翻译策略和方法,王建国发表于《外语研究》上的《从语用顺应论的角度看翻译策略与方法》(2005,55-59) -文中,针对国内外翻译界对翻译方法和翻译策略的争论,他指出直译、意译、归化、异化只是翻译方法,而不是翻译策略,动态顺应才是翻译策略。同时,他还指出翻译的过程和结果是动态顺应的过程和结果。

顺应论在与翻译结合的过程中,学者们除了从翻译理论研究的角度分析和阐释顺应论对翻译研究的意义外,还将顺应论应用到具体的翻译实践中去,比如文学作品译作分析、应用文本译作分析,同时还有学者将顺应论与语用策略研究、外语教学研究、跨文化交际等方面联系起来。

叶苗在其着作《应用翻译语用观》COn Pragmatics Translation from theperspective of Pragmatics)中,首先对应用翻译进行了定位,然后从语用学的角度研究应用翻译。同时她主张以顺应论为基础来讨论和解释异化,并以《选美中国》为例,结合应用翻译中“异化”和“归化”之争,提出了在对具有中国文化特色的应用文本翻译时,译者可以采取异化策略,担负起传播中国文化的使命,扩大目的语读者的'文化语境、认知语境,激发他们对中国文化和传统的兴趣和探索,增强我国软实力。

纵观国内顺应论的研究现状以及顺应论与翻译结合的研究现状,可以看出在顺应论对翻译的结合方面,研究者几乎都是从文学翻译、应用文翻译的角度进行研究,而且很多研究还是局限于维索尔伦顺应论的推介和重申,缺乏创新点,并且对理论的适用范围没有做出明确规定,导致了顺应论在很多领域的误用和滥用。

对于企业的外宣翻译,只有设身处地地从目的语读者的角度去思考和翻译,巧妙地对原文进行语篇重构来顺应目的语读者的语言和文化,才能激发读者付诸行动,为企业的形象宣传和经济发展带来实实在在的好处。

7、预期的结果。

企业外宣翻译要通过对原文进行语篇重构来顺应目的语社会的语言语境、心理世界、社交世界、文化世界等,才能更好地实现外宣翻译的交际功能,达到良好外宣效果。

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

一、 选题的背景与意义:

(一)课题研究来源

在考研过程中遇到类型相关的题目,本人很感兴趣,于是确定选择该题。

(二)课题研究的目的

本文通过对《呼啸山庄》中象征主义,来叙述《呼啸山庄》中文明与自然的冲突。

(三)课题研究的意义

艾米莉·勃朗特是英国维多利亚时期着名小说家和作家,是着名的勃朗特姐妹之一, 也是三姐妹中最具天赋的一个。她一生只写了一部小说《呼啸山庄》,但是这部伟大的作品却使她扬名于世。通过《呼啸山庄》,艾米莉·勃朗特以维多利亚时代为背景,通过写两个截然不同的家族,三代人之间的爱恨情仇,充分表现了维多利亚时期文明和自然之间的冲突以及怎样反映了艾米莉·勃朗特对自然的偏爱。小说中自然和文明冲突不断,艾米莉·勃朗特在小说中多次运用对比和象征来表现此冲突,例如,呼啸山庄和画眉山庄的冲突,凯瑟琳两种不同的爱情观的冲突。这种冲突正是基于艾米莉·勃朗特对自然异于常人的热爱和当时现代文明盛行的背景。英国文学史上着名的三姐妹从小生活在荒原上,自然在她们心中是神圣之物,这点很像新英格兰超验主义的观点。并且英国浪漫主义时期沃兹沃斯和柯律利治等着名诗人影响,自然,情感和哥特式元素在艾米莉·勃朗特的作品中都发挥着举足轻重的作用。而且,艾米莉·勃朗特生活在物欲横流的维多利亚时代,当时的人们以自然之情为基础的生活受到现代文明的激烈冲击。作为维多利亚时代批判现实主义的代表人物,艾米莉·勃朗特看到了现代文明带来的种种罪恶,内心更加执着于对自然的喜爱。 因此,要想真正读懂这部伟大的着作,就必须要了解小说中艾米莉·勃朗特对自然和文明的观点。只有了解艾米莉·勃朗特对自然和文明的态度,才能真正明白在这爱恨情仇下有着更深刻的寓意-人类生活应该顺应自然和本性。通过《呼啸山庄》中自然和文明的从图矛盾,由此来叙述《呼啸山庄》中回归自然的观点。

二、 国内外研究现状:

(一)国内研究现状

1.陈茂林从艾米莉·勃朗特所受的自然的影响来分析,他的《回归自然返璞归真--<呼啸山庄>的生态批评》认为《呼啸山庄》是一部自然颂歌。小说中自然有着独特的作用,它使人精神放松,包容所有人,它似乎是一个有血有肉的灵魂,分享着人的痛苦和换了。作品表达了作者对自然的深深热爱,同时也反映了自然和文明的冲突和矛盾。 叶利荣则在其《追寻自我的历程--<呼啸山庄>主题探析》一文中提出:艾米莉·勃朗特在小说中塑造的两个富于激情和叛逆的人物形象--希斯克里夫和凯瑟琳,展示了他们在迷失之后寻找自我回归的艰难历程表现了处于自我冲突中的人的内心世界。他们充满抗争的一生是生命个体追寻自我历程的真实写照。

2. 王宏洁则在《自然与文明的冲击》中认为,自然和文明的冲突矛盾也就是《呼啸山庄》中的其中一个重要主题。自然,要求人们生活需要顺从内心情感和自然本性,得到自然错给予的舒适和自得。而文明,则是不同于自然的一种新的生活方式,要求人们生活遵从道德和理智。文明由此带来了物欲横流的社会以及追逐自身利益的人类,因此纯净自然之人被文明所污染。而自然不会随着文明的出现和进步消失,自然会一直存在。所以自文明诞生开始,文明和自然的冲突就不断。

(二) 国外研究现状

1.英国着名女作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫在一九一六年就写过《〈简爱〉与〈呼啸山庄〉》一文。她写道:“当夏洛蒂写作时,她以雄辩、光彩和热情说我爱,我恨,我受苦.她的经验,虽然比较强烈,却是和我们自己的经验都在同一水平上。但是在《呼啸山庄》中没有 我,没有家庭女教师,没有东家。有爱,却不是男女之爱。艾米莉被某些比较普遍的观念所激励,促使她创作的冲动并不是她自己的受苦或她自身受损害。她朝着一个四分五裂的世界望去,而感到她本身有力量在一本书中把它拼凑起来。那种雄心壮志可以在全部小说中感觉得到--一种部分虽受到挫折,但却具有宏伟信念的挣扎,通过她的人物的口中说出的不仅仅是我爱或我恨,却是我们,全人类和你们,永存的势力……这句话没有说完。”

2.英国进步评论家阿诺·凯特尔(Arnold Kettle)在《英国小说引论》一书中第三部分论及十九世纪的小说时,他总结说:“《呼啸山庄》以艺术的想象形式表达了十九世纪资本主义社会中的人的精神上的压迫、紧张与矛盾冲突。这是一部毫无理想主义、毫无虚假的安慰,也没有任何暗示说操纵他们的命运的力量非人类本身的斗争和行动所能及。对自然,荒野与暴风雨,星辰与季节的有力召唤是启示生活本身真正的运动的一个重要部分。《呼啸山庄》中的男男女女不是大自然的囚徒,他们生活在这个世界里,而且努力去改变它,有时顺利,却总是痛苦的,几乎不断遇到困难,不断犯错误。”

三、 课题研究内容及创新

(一)课题研究内容

艾米莉·勃朗特在《呼啸山庄》中多次运用象征主义,例如,呼啸山庄和西斯科拉里夫与儿时的凯瑟琳代表自然,他们崇尚自由,顺应自然和暴风雨似的生活原则而与呼啸山庄对立存在的画眉山庄以及林顿家庭则代表文明,他们彬彬有礼,服从一切社会原则。自然和文明表面风平浪静一直到西斯克里夫和凯瑟琳偶然闯进画眉山庄,于是冲突不断。凯瑟琳的自然之情开始受到文明的真正挑战,她开始背叛自己的内心情感,越来越像淑女,最终她舍弃对西斯克里夫的真爱嫁给埃德加·林顿,表面上文明占取了绝对优势。但是婚后的凯瑟琳被内心的自然之情折磨致死。而西斯克里夫也因为凯瑟琳的背叛自然性扭曲到极端,他变成了复仇的恶魔。文明的侵犯使人性扭曲,约束人的真实自然之情,造成了悲剧。尽管文明带来了进步,但是文明却扼杀了人性。最终,艾米莉·勃朗特让西斯克里夫在死前打开阻碍之窗-文明,让两人的游魂在荒野间游荡。种种表明艾米莉·勃朗特对两人爱情的同情以及要求人顺应人性,重返自然的思想。 本选题拟从三个部分加以阐述:

1. 自然和文明的定义

2. 自然和文明的较量: a.自然和文明的象征:呼啸山庄和画眉山庄;西斯克里夫和林顿及其哈的顿 b.自然和文明的斗争:凯瑟琳的爱情选择和西斯克里夫的疯狂报复导致人性的扭曲

3. 结论 人应该顺从自然,归顺自然。文明的侵犯使人性扭曲以及给人带来毁灭性的灾害。

(二)课题研究创新

本文主要通过对《呼啸山庄》中象征主义的运用,来解析自然和文明的冲突。艾米莉·勃朗特不仅塑造两个截然不同的庄园,分别代表自然和文明,还赋予住在两个山庄中类似他们山庄的性格,通过他们的对比以及他们交织时所产生的矛盾分歧来说明自认和文明之间的对抗。

四、课题的研究方法:

本选题拟采用多种研究手法,然后再结合定性分析研究法、综合查找法、归纳法、翻译法、文献综述法、文献检索法等多种研究方法加以详述。主要包括: 1、定性分析法:根据主观的判断和分析能力,推断出事物的性质和发展趋势的分析方法。 2、归纳法:通过许多个别的事例或分论点,然后归纳出它们所共有的特性,得出一般性的结论。 3、文献法:即历史文献法,就是搜集和分析研究各种现存的有关文献资料,从中选取信息,以达到某种调查研究目的的方法。 4、文献综述法: 即针对某个研究主题,对与之相关的各种文献资料进行收集整理,对所负载的知识信息进行归纳鉴别,清理与分析,并对所研究的问题在一定时期内已取得的研究状况,取得的成果,存在的问题以及发展的趋势进行系统而全面的叙述,评论,建构与阐述。其中,确定一个研究主题,收集整理专题文献,阅读与挖掘文献内容,清理与记述专题研究状况,建构与阐明专题研究发展趋势。

题目名称:商务英语谈判中的礼貌策略研究

英文题目:Politeness Principle as a strategy in Business Negotiation

学生姓名:

学号:xxx

学院:xxxx

专业年级:英语专业商务方向xx级

指导教师:xxx

职称:

一、选题的依据:

由于商务活动的需要,在世界高度一体化,国际商务活动日益频繁,中国进入WTO 的国际背景下,需要人们熟练掌握对外商务活动的原则和技巧;而商务谈判是对外商务活动的重要环节,商务谈判实际上是通过语言来进行的经济活动, 其成功与否很大程度上取决于语言的应用。在谈判过程中谈判双方都希望己方利益最大化,因此双方在谈判过程中的语言表达和应用对谈判有着深远影响。得体、合适的语言表达能促进商务谈判的顺利进行。而礼貌原则作为一种语用策略是商务谈判的必要技巧,我们通过运用礼貌策略减少谈判双方的利益摩擦,缓和谈判环境,使双方在快乐的条件下获得共赢和理想的谈判结果。本选题旨在研究礼貌语言策略在商务谈判中的影响及具体应用。其意义如下:

意义:1. 得体的谈吐能树立谈判者良好的文化素养和职业道德形象,是商务谈判中的润滑剂;

2.增加谈判者之间的信任度,提高谈判中的自觉性,增加谈判的成功性,从而实现经济利益;

3. 对商务谈判中礼貌原则的研究有利于对今后礼貌原则文化差异起着促进作用;

4. 对礼貌原则的研究及礼貌语言的学习、应用利于人们生活实际中的交际和商务活动,利于个人生活。

2)综合国内外有关本选题的研究动态和自己的见解

我国学者何自然认为礼貌语言实际上是一种语用策略。大量学者对语用学中的礼貌策略进行了研究。我国学者胡艳芳认为礼貌是人类文明的重要标志,是人类社会活动的一条重要准绳(2009),普遍存在于人类的交际活动中。国内学者徐盛恒也有深入的见解他认为礼貌语言是语言交际可能涉及的各方关系的杠杆(1992),起着调节人际关系的作用。他们的研究都说明了礼貌语言策略在人们生活交际中有着重要的作用。

国外学者对其的研究更为突出。早在20世纪50年代,美国学者戈夫曼(Erving Goffman)就提出了“面子行为理论”,建立了礼貌模式。20世纪60年代,美国语言哲学家Grice(1975)在Austin 和Searle的言语行为基础上提出了会话合作原则,该原则认为人们在所有会话中都应遵循质量,方式和相关的四准则。(1972,1973,1975,1977)在上世纪七十年代提出礼貌三规则。1978年Brown 和Levinson 提出了“面子论”。而英国语言学家利奇(Leech,1983)将语用原则分为“人际修辞”(interpersonal rhetoric)和“篇章修辞(textual rhetoric),提出了礼貌六准则。语用学中礼貌语言策略的历史来源及国内外学者的研究为诸多学者对礼貌策略在商务谈判中作用及应用的研究有着巨大的指导意义。许多学者就Grice的合作原则及相关理论,Leech的礼貌六准则,以及Brown和Levison的“面子论”在商务谈判中的应用进行了相关研究。他们的研究结果表明礼貌原则这一语用策略不仅适用于人们生活中的交流同时在商务谈判中依然适用并发挥着重要作用。

在此基础上,本选题在浅析各位学者对语用范畴中礼貌策略研究的同时,着重研究其具体礼貌语用策略和准则在商务谈判中的影响及应用。深入探讨 Grice的合作原则、Leech的礼貌六准则(得体,慷慨,赞誉,谦逊,一致,同情准则)及 Brown和Levison的“面子论”及他的礼貌策略(积极和消极礼貌策略)在商务谈判中的应用进行深入探讨。从而说明礼貌语言策略在商务谈判中的重要性。

题 目:

On the Characteristics & Translating Skills of English Advertising(英语的特征和翻译)

选题依据及研究意义:

随着经济全球化的进一步加快,国际经济的进一步发展带动了广告业的腾飞,英语广告翻译日益成为翻译学研究的重要组成部分,广告翻译的发展对国际贸易的发展不言而喻。广告是商战中的有力的武器,广告英语是一种专门用途的英语,他与普通英语有着较大的差别,本文结合大量的实例,从广告英语的语法特点、句法特点和修辞特点三方面分析了广告英语的特点,并浅析了其翻译策略。英语广告翻译作为翻译学的一个新的领域,引起了众多的翻译工作者和研究人员的注意,发展仍然不够成熟和完善,这篇论文正是针对这一系列的问题提出了英语广告的特点和英语广告的翻译策略等重要意义的课题。从而为英语广告的翻译提供了有效的途径,为众多的翻译工作人员提供了重要的借鉴,同时也推动广告业及广告翻译事业的长足发展。

选题的研究现状:

对于商务沟通中的策略,曾有两语言学家提出过。

美国语言学家格莱斯于1967年提出的礼貌被称为“合作原则”。此原则中,会话双方需要共同遵守的原则包括数量、关系、质量和方式几个准则。有了“合作原则”,交易双方所说的话就不会逻辑混乱,说话者和听话者能顺畅沟通,以达到成功交际的目的。20世纪80年代,在合作原则的基础上,英国语言学家利奇又提出了著名的“礼貌原则”,其主要内容为:通过减少自身利益,使对方从中获得更大利益的方式获得对方好感,推进合作,使对方从中获得更长远的利益。

总而言之,“合作原则”和“礼貌原则”都是要求商务信函中要坚持礼貌策略,以达到维护交易各方地位均等、关系友好的目的。

拟研究的主要内容:

1.礼貌、礼貌原则和商务英语的表达原则;

2.商务英语信函的写作原则

3.礼貌原则在商务英语写作中的具体应用;

4.商务英语信函语言表达形式中礼貌的表现。

研究的创新点及重、难点:

(1)本研究的创新点:本研究立足于商务贸易间来往,提出了不容忽视的礼貌策略,符合现代商务沟通的基本准则,有利于更好的撰写商务英语信函,促进贸易。

(2)本研究存在的主要问题:参考文献的局限性以及信函中的创新概念,避免千篇一律。

1、选题意义和背景

The progress of economic globalization has greatly hit the social life.

Advertising has become an important way of modern marketing and has attractedmerchants and the company. As people's consciousness worldwide enhances, manyproducts and services of advertising will be translated into other languages forpromotion to explore overseas markets. Advertising, as an effective way ofdisseminating brand information, has penetrated into many aspects of social life, andit plays a bridge role in connection and communication. Since China's accession tothe WTO, its connection with the world gets even closer. More and moreinternational enterprises and product brands come into China's huge market.

Translation of products and services for overseas consumers is not only the functionof promoting consumption, but also the effect of external publicity. In the globalmarket, advertising translation not only brings an opportunity for advertising, butalso has brings the huge challenge. Therefore, mastery of both Chinese and Englishadvertising translation is particularly important.

Skopos theory is the foundation and the core theory of functionalism. Skopostheory holds that the process of the whole translation behavior is determined to thepurpose of translation action, that is, the end justifies the means. The purpose of thetranslation behavior is the core element which determines the translation process.

Advertising translation has a strong purpose. What is more important toadvertising translation is whether translation can convey the purpose of source textand achieve the anticipated target of the source text, so as to attract the attention offoreign customers to induce their consumption desire, eventually to incur purchasebehavior.

2、论文综述/研究基础

1 Advertising Translation Studies in the West.

Advertising translation was mentioned in translation studies for the first time inHurbin's (1972) article “Peut-on traduire la langue de la publicé” (Can OneTranslate the Language of Advertising?)。 At that time, linguistics was the dominanthumanistic discipline, meanwhile, linguistics made translating a code-switchingoperation. Equivalence-based linguistic approaches mainly focus on the source text.

Hurhin argued that for one source text, there are several translations, and thetranslators chose which translation is the most appropriate one. Hurbin also pointedthat if glossaries of advertising language is compiled, this was made easier. So thetranslators will be easy to find the most appropriate equivalent expressions betweenthe source and the target text.

In Candace Seguinot's (1995) article “Translation and Advertising: GoingGlobal in Cultural Functions of Translation”. The main opinion of which is thatacross cultural boundaries, there is an understanding of culture and semioticsappearing in the marketing of goods and services. It goes well beyond both languageand design.

Another representative article “Advertising: a five-stage strategy for translationin Translation” as Intercultural Communication which is edited by C. Nord et al. Thearticle is published by Smith & Klein-Braley (1997)。 In this article, they conduct acontrastive analysis of English and German advertising. Then they developedtaxonomy of strategies for the analysis of advertising translation.

Up to now, the book which maybe the only one published exclusively onadvertisement translation is Translation Practices in International Advertisingwritten by Mathieu Guidere (2001)。 This book mainly talks about various aspects ofadvertising translation in international market and mainly concerns the globaladvertising of multinational companies, because they need to translate their productsinformation into other languages. The author analyzes some examples in advertisingtranslation and he shows readers some essential problems in current translation ideas.

This book introduced the strategies of translation which are implemented by the multinational firms to break into new markets.

2 Advertising Translation Studies in China.

Domestic advertising translation studies officially started in 1990s. In terms ofresearch contents, the initial studies mainly focused on the discussion about specificadvertising translation of idioms and the existing problems in Chinese-Englishadvertising translation. That was the primary stage. Years later, advertisingtranslation principle and criteria became the research themes. People hold the viewthat, advertising translation should give attention to in many aspects, such as text,language beauty, consumer psychology. Researchers illustrated their respectivepoints of view from different angles. Since the late 90s, although the discussion oftranslation principle and criteria were still mentioned, the researchers' attention weregradually focused on translation of difficult parts in advertising, such as therhetorical devices, emotional transmission, brand image and trademark reproduction ,etc. In terms of research methods, domestic advertising translation study mainly usesthe inductive method and the case study. Nevertheless, in recent years, researchersbegin to use the theory achievements of pragmatics and other related disciplines toanalyze different kinds of problems in advertising translation, and then put forwardsome translation strategies.

As early as xx, Li Fan proposed the development of the advertising languageposed a severe challenge to advertising translation. The artful advertisings require thetranslator to break hard the tradition of the original, boldly innovate, and improve thequality of translation. There are three reasons for flexible advertising translation: 1)the purpose of advertising is to induce consumer to purchase products. Text is justmeans, so translations do not have to stick to the text equivalent; 2) the feature ofadvertising language is vivid, which is the essence of advertising language. If thetranslation is not bold to change, there will be no magic translation; 3) formulaicexpressions are common use in advertising, if not alternative, it may be translatedinto foreign stereotyped writing (黎凡 xx:29-31)。 At the same time, researchersthought in terms of some specific advertisements, flexible translation seems to be theonly way, especially in the four kinds of advertising: 1) advertising used of witty and polished words; 2) advertising used of brand name; 3) advertising used of puns; 4)advertising with strong national culture color.

In order to achieve concise expression, attract more readers' attention, facilitatereaders recognize and remember, advertising writing should follow the KISSprinciple, namely, “keep it short and sweet” (郭可 1992:57-64)。 A great number ofstudies on advertising translation are associated with concise problem. Ding Shude isdedicated to his studies. He holds that: 1) Chinese advertising often uses modifiers toemphasis, product characteristics, while English advertising is simple words, mainlywith oral type. a lot of subject-predicative phrases in Chinese can be directlytranslated into adjectives English , such as 速度快、效率高、行动灵活 can betranslated into “fast, efficient and handy”; 2) There are a large number of the fourwords in Chinese advertising structure, which bring parallelism and overlapping tostrengthen language, but there is no such characteristic in English. InChinese-English translation should hold the center, around the center word leads toall aspects; 3) there are often loose sentences, which express a large amount ofinformation in Chinese advertising. Translation should be concise and compact,strengthen the logic; 4) Chinese advertising commonly uses formulaic expressions.

Translation should be fascinating, considering the overall rhetorical, but not stackrhetoric. Good English advertising language is not many words, but it is impressive(丁树德 xx: 42-43)。 Cao Shunfa also takes a large number of examples of bothEnglish-Chinese translation two aspects show that based on the principle of simple,the translation of advertising language should strive to use the most simple languageto express the most complex meaning, to make it easy to be remembered (曹顺发xx: 43-45)。

Equivalence theory is based on Nida's equivalence translation theory. On thisbasis, some researchers point out that commercial advertising translation is mainlyon the equivalence of semantic, social and cultural, and stylistic aspect. 1) Thesemantic equivalence. This is the most basic and important equivalence. From wordto chapter, in order to achieve the semantic equivalence, the first thing to thetranslator is that he must determine the meaning of the translation unit in context.

浅析格赖斯合作原则理论在商业英语广告中的应用 全文加七四五六九零四六零摘要:在广告英语的使用中,广告是广告主和消费者之间一种特殊的交际活动。广告主通过公开、有意的违反合作原则,使广告语言新颖独特。让消费者能够意识到这一违反,并根据字面意义推导出隐含意义,使之产生兴趣,刺激其消费的欲望,而后付诸行动,最终达到的目的。 (共1页)

职称:

一、选题的依据:

由于商务活动的需要,在世界高度一体化,国际商务活动日益频繁,中国进入WTO 的国际背景下,需要人们熟练掌握对外商务活动的原则和技巧;而商务谈判是对外商务活动的重要环节,商务谈判实际上是通过语言来进行的经济活动, 其成功与否很大程度上取决于语言的应用。在谈判过程中谈判双方都希望己方利益最大化,因此双方在谈判过程中的语言表达和应用对谈判有着深远影响。得体、合适的语言表达能促进商务谈判的顺利进行。而礼貌原则作为一种语用策略是商务谈判的必要技巧,我们通过运用礼貌策略减少谈判双方的利益摩擦,缓和谈判环境,使双方在快乐的条件下获得共赢和理想的谈判结果。本选题旨在研究礼貌语言策略在商务谈判中的影响及具体应用。其意义如下:

意义:1. 得体的谈吐能树立谈判者良好的文化素养和职业道德形象,是商务谈判中的润滑剂;

2.增加谈判者之间的信任度,提高谈判中的自觉性,增加谈判的成功性,从而实现经济利益;

3. 对商务谈判中礼貌原则的研究有利于对今后礼貌原则文化差异起着促进作用;

4. 对礼貌原则的研究及礼貌语言的学习、应用利于人们生活实际中的交际和商务活动,利于个人生活。

2)综合国内外有关本选题的研究动态和自己的见解

我国学者何自然认为礼貌语言实际上是一种语用策略。大量学者对语用学中的礼貌策略进行了研究。我国学者胡艳芳认为礼貌是人类文明的重要标志,是人类社会活动的一条重要准绳(2009),普遍存在于人类的交际活动中。国内学者徐盛恒也有深入的见解他认为礼貌语言是语言交际可能涉及的各方关系的杠杆(1992),起着调节人际关系的作用。他们的研究都说明了礼貌语言策略在人们生活交际中有着重要的作用。

国外学者对其的研究更为突出。早在20世纪50年代,美国学者戈夫曼(Erving Goffman)就提出了“面子行为理论”,建立了礼貌模式。20世纪60年代,美国语言哲学家Grice(1975)在Austin 和Searle的言语行为基础上提出了会话合作原则,该原则认为人们在所有会话中都应遵循质量,方式和相关的四准则。(1972,1973,1975,1977)在上世纪七十年代提出礼貌三规则。1978年Brown 和Levinson 提出了“面子论”。而英国语言学家利奇(Leech,1983)将语用原则分为“人际修辞”(interpersonal rhetoric)和“篇章修辞(textual rhetoric),提出了礼貌六准则。语用学中礼貌语言策略的历史来源及国内外学者的研究为诸多学者对礼貌策略在商务谈判中作用及应用的研究有着巨大的指导意义。许多学者就Grice的合作原则及相关理论,Leech的礼貌六准则,以及Brown和Levison的“面子论”在商务谈判中的应用进行了相关研究。他们的研究结果表明礼貌原则这一语用策略不仅适用于人们生活中的交流同时在商务谈判中依然适用并发挥着重要作用。

在此基础上,本选题在浅析各位学者对语用范畴中礼貌策略研究的同时,着重研究其具体礼貌语用策略和准则在商务谈判中的影响及应用。深入探讨 Grice的合作原则、Leech的礼貌六准则(得体,慷慨,赞誉,谦逊,一致,同情准则)及 Brown和Levison的“面子论”及他的礼貌策略(积极和消极礼貌策略)在商务谈判中的应用进行深入探讨。从而说明礼貌语言策略在商务谈判中的重要性。

商标英译汉论文开题报告

可写 Introduction 或 Background 介绍写论文的目的 或 研究的目标

论英汉翻译中的语序调整(三) 在英汉翻译过程中,之所以产生这样的问题是因为英汉两种语言的语法结构、行文习惯、思维模式不同。英美人强调客观,常用物、抽象概念、非人称it 作主语,让事物以客观的口气呈现出来,使叙述显得公正、客观,结构趋于严密、紧凑,语气较为委婉、间接。中国人有“天人合一”的观点,强调人与自然浑然一体,常用人作主语,主语的思维模式往往是从自我出发来叙述客观事物,或倾向于描述人的行为或状态。英汉翻译时,所确定的主语是否恰当,必须考虑译文是否符合汉族人民的思维模式。例如: (3) Bitterness fed on the man who had made the worldlaugh. (这位曾使全世界人发出笑声的人自己却饱经辛酸。) (4) It never occurred to her that he was a dishonest man. (她从来没想到他是个不诚实的人。) 例3 英文用抽象名词bitterness 作主语,汉语却用“这位曾使世界人发出笑声的人”作主语;例4 英文用形式主语it 作主语,汉语用“她”作主语,看来似乎风马牛不相及,其实这是中西方思维模式不同的缘故,例4 意思是:这种念头从来没有闪过她的脑际。原句当然可以说She has never thought tha theisa dishonest man. 但两相比较,前一句强调“他是个不诚实的人”是客观事实,字里行间显露出她对这事感到惊异,后一句只强调了主观印象。译文清楚明白地写出了“她”对“他为人不诚实”这一点的认识。英汉翻译中的语序转换 英语和汉语的语序有相同之处,但也有不同之处。因此,在英汉互译时,对原文的句子成分和词语的先后顺序,必须按照译出语的语序习惯进行安排,有时需要语序转换。英汉互译中的语序转换主要包括以下几个方面:一、定语位置的转换汉语中的定语,无论是单用还是几个词连用,通常放在所修饰的名词前面。英语则不然,单词作定语时,一般放在所修饰的名词之前,短语和从句做定语时则放在所修饰的名词之后,在汉译英时,必须要考虑定语的位置。如:睡觉的那个婴儿看上去很可爱。The sleeping baby looks lovely.你认识操场上踢球的那些男孩吗?Do you know the boys playing football on the playground ?这就是Polly呆的那个笼子。This is the cage that Polly lives in.需要说明的是,在英语中,不定代词的定语常后置,如:你有什么重要的事吗?Is there anything important in today's newspaper?二、状语位置的转换在英汉互译时,状语位置的变换极为复杂。因为在英汉两种语言中,状语的位置都不是很固定。出于强调程度、句子平衡和上下文的关联等方面的考虑,状语的位置都会发生一些变化。在翻译时,首先,要熟悉英汉两种语言状语位置的差异,然后,按译出语的习惯来调整安排。比如说,在汉语中,状语常放在主语之后、谓语之前,有时为了强调也放在主语之前,但译成英语时则不然。如:他整天都工作。He works allday long.我非常喜欢住在中国。I like living in China very much.另外,英语的方式状语一般常放在地点状语、时间状语之前,而汉语恰恰相反。如:我们得早点去那里。We have to go there early.她每天早晨在教室里高声朗读。She reads aloud in the classroom every morning.英汉互译时,需要变换位置的绝不限于定语和状语,其它句子成分和一些词语的位置,也要按照译出语的习惯作适当的调整和变换。比如说,英汉语言中各有一些并列的固定结构,其语序各不相同,如汉语中说“南北”,而英语说north and south;汉语说“新老”,英语则说old and new。这些需要大家在翻译时格外注意。?/P>英汉翻译中的词序错位现象 Saturday, 15 September 2007 英汉翻译中的词序错位现象(Different Word 0rders) 总的来说,汉英的语序基本一致。正是因为这种语序是基本一致的,在汉英翻译时不一致的地方就容易出差错。由于两种语言文化的表达、表述的习惯不同,形成一些固定说法的格式不同,如下面的例子,翻译时只有死记硬背。这种死记硬背非常重要,是翻译的重要基本功之一。在过去的翻译书中技巧讲得很多,但也应该重视固定说法的背诵功底。 1、英汉词序错位 例如: 水火 fire and water 贫富 rich and poor 新旧 old and new 长短 short and long 细长 long and thin 男婴 baby boy 女婴 baby girl 冷热 hot and cool 凉爽 nice and cool 物理化学 chemistry and physics 工农业 agriculture and industry 年月 month and year 田径(运动) track and field (events) 迟早 sooner or later,first and last 水土流失 soil erosion and water loss 新郎新娘 the bride and the bridegroom 手疾眼快 quick of eye and deft of hand 喜怒哀乐 anger, grief, joy and happiness 水乳交融 as well blended as milk and water 2、有一些情况汉英说法顺序差不多 例如: 上下 up and down 高低 high and low 老幼 old and young 父母 father and mother 夫妇 man and wife 来龙去脉 from beginning to end 来来往往 come and go, back and forth 3、汉语习语中常有同义重复表达。如“徘徊”、“回环”、“温暖”、“思想”、“道路”等,英语中也有这种结构 例如: time and tide 岁月 wear and tear 磨损 near and dear 亲近 lord and master 主人 wants and likes 喜好 the rank and file 百姓 论英汉翻译中的语序调整 [ 语序指各级语言单位在组合中的排列次序,是语言的重要组合手段之一,既反映了一定的逻辑事理,又体现了人们在长期使用语言过程中所形成的语言习惯,还反映了语言使用者的思维模式。以英语为母语的民族和汉族是不同的民族, 其思维模式必然不同,对同一客观事实的描述也就有着不同的语言表达顺序。文章从英汉翻译过程中主语的确立、信息焦点的突出方法、汉语时间句序的特点以及语序调整的实证性分析来探讨英汉翻译中的语序调整。 (一) 确定主语,调整语序。英语为主语显著的语言,主语突出,除省略句以外,一般情况下每个句子都有主语;句法重形合,要求句子各成分特别清楚,以免结构混乱,影响句意。 而汉语则是主题显著的语言,主题突出,主语不突出;句法重意合,指代关系在形式上不明显。在篇章中,某些句子的主语常常可以省略,有时必须省略;有些主语难以一眼看清,需要读者用心识别。因而在英译汉过程中,确定主语,调整句序往往是一个需要动脑筋的问题。例如: (1) Nightfall found him many miles short of his appointedpreaching place. 这句话按原文的语序,Nightfall (夜幕) 作主语,按原语序照样翻译下去,译文会显得别扭,不自然。按照汉语的语言习惯,应选用“他”作主语,因而正确的翻译是:夜幕降临时,他离预定的布道地点还有好多英里路。又如: (2)As is known to all ,2003 saw the successful launching ofChina’s first manned spaceship. 这句话可译为:众所周知,中国在2003 年成功地发射了第一艘载人宇宙飞船。原文主语是“2003”,但译文没有以“2003”作主语,而以“中国”这一行为主体作主语。用时间作主语是英语中较为常见的现象,这种用法不仅强调了时间的观念,而且也使句子简洁、生动。按照西方人的思维模式和英语表达习惯,英语还可以用地点等名词作主语。如:Nanjingwitnessed many great historic events. (在南京城发生过许多重大的历史事件。) 在英汉翻译过程中,之所以产生这样的问题是因为英汉两种语言的语法结构、行文习惯、思维模式不同。英美人强调客观,常用物、抽象概念、非人称it 作主语,让事物以客观的口气呈现出来,使叙述显得公正、客观,结构趋于严密、紧凑,语气较为委婉、间接。中国人有“天人合一”的观点,强调人与自然浑然一体,常用人作主语,主语的思维模式往往是从自我出发来叙述客观事物,或倾向于描述人的行为或状态。英汉翻译时,所确定的主语是否恰当,必须考虑译文是否符合汉族人民的思维模式。例如: (3) Bitterness fed on the man who had made the worldlaugh. (这位曾使全世界人发出笑声的人自己却饱经辛酸。) (4) It never occurred to her that he was a dishonest man. (她从来没想到他是个不诚实的人。) 例3 英文用抽象名词bitterness 作主语,汉语却用“这位曾使世界人发出笑声的人”作主语;例4 英文用形式主语it 作主语,汉语用“她”作主语,看来似乎风马牛不相及,其实这是中西方思维模式不同的缘故,例4 意思是:这种念头从来没有闪过她的脑际。原句当然可以说She has never thought tha theisa dishonest man. 但两相比较,前一句强调“他是个不诚实的人”是客观事实,字里行间显露出她对这事感到惊异,后一句只强调了主观印象。译文清楚明白地写出了“她”对“他为人不诚实”这一点的认识。 (二) 突出信息焦点,调整语序。信息焦点即信息单位的焦点所在,是信息单位内在主重音或调核体现的一个或多个作为信息高峰值的单元。语言现象分析常用的方法是句子成分分析法,其实这远远不够,还要进行交际分析或实义分析, 即主述位分析。主位是陈述的对象(或称话题) ,是谈话的出发点,也是读者从上下文或从语言外的知识得知的内容,表达的是已知信息;述位则是对陈述对象所作的陈述,即对已知事物说了些什么,是交际的中心,叙述的目的,是读者未知或假定读者未知的内容,表达的是新信息。通常新信息是句子内容的重点或句子的强调点。由于新信息往往需要比已知信息陈述得更详细,因此需要用更长、更重的句尾。这种结构是按句尾重心的组织原则组织起来的。但是,英语中有些句子成分后置,并不是因为代表新信息,而是因为太长,太复杂,若不后移就会使句子结构头重足轻。所以,英汉翻译要根据不同情况弄清原文句子的信息焦点是什么,原文是通过什么方法来突出这一焦点,而译文又应以什么方法来突出这一焦点,以达到对等效果。 在英语句子中,信息焦点总是由新信息构成的,在正常情况下,这种焦点一般出现在句末。例如: (5) I am painting my room blue. 在一般情况下,blue 应为信息焦点,因此该句可译为:我在把我的房子刷成蓝色。如果上例是回答Are you paintingJohn’s room blue ? 这一问题的话,那么句中的信息焦点就落在my 上,因为这是新信息。所以,译文也需作相应的调整,以反映信息焦点的变化。那么该句就可译为:我是在把我自己的房间刷成蓝色。 英语突出信息焦点的主要方法有三种:语序调整、强调句型和拟似分裂句。在句子中,信息单位的重要性与其在句中所处的位置有关。若要提高某一词语在句中的信息价值,办法之一就是调整语序,将其前置或后移。虽然汉语的次序在信息处理方面所起的作用不如英语那么重要,但语序调整仍然是突出信息焦点的一个不可忽视的手段。例如: (6) This jug is difficult to pour cream out of . (这把壶里很难倒出奶油来。) (7) Cream is difficult to pour out of this jug. (奶油很难从这把壶里倒出来。) (8) 四川人不怕辣,贵州人辣不怕,湖南人怕不辣。 (9) Sitting at her desk in deep concentration was my sisterFlora. She looked as though she had spent a sleepless night . (全神贯注地坐在桌旁的是我妹妹弗洛拉,她看上去好像是通宵未睡。) 例6 将cream 置于句尾,强调奶油很稠。例7 将this jug置于句尾,强调这把壶嘴子小,奶油很难倒出来。例8 通过语序调整强调四川人不怕吃辣的东西,贵州人辣了一次后第二次仍不怕辣,湖南人辣的东西不怕,怕就怕在不辣,因为他们对辣东西已习以为常了。在这三个分句中,说话人当然在强调湖南人最不怕吃辣椒。例9 采用倒装句来调整信息焦点, 设置悬念,使文章更为生动,汉语译文也采用倒装句,收到同样的效果。 强调句型It is. . . that . . . 和拟似分裂句是英语用来突出信息焦点的重要语法手段,可以强调句中不同的成分。英译汉时,为了突出重点可以适当地调整句型,把原文的信息焦点转换为汉语的“是. . . . . . 的”等信息价值较高的句子成分。例如: (10) It was Jane who played Mozart at the party last night . (昨晚在晚会上演奏莫扎特作品的是珍妮。) (11) It was Mozart that Jane played at the party last night . (珍妮昨晚在晚会上演奏的是莫扎特的作品。) (12) What I am doing is teaching him a lesson. (我眼下在干的是就是教训他一顿。) (三) 依据汉语时间句序特点,调整语序。句序是以句为单位,包括语段中句子的顺序和复句内分句的次序。汉语界前辈吕叔湘先生曾指出:汉语中特多流水句。我国的翻译工作者也指出:时间顺序是汉语安排动词的基本规律。功能主义语言学派则从语言与外部世界关系的角度对汉语进行了研究,发现汉语的象似性程度很高,语言符合按自然的时间顺序排列的强趋势。例如: (13) 华老栓忽然坐起来,擦着火柴,点上遍身油腻的灯盏。 (14) 扫开一块雪,露出地面,用一枝短棒支起一面大的竹筛来,下面撒些秕谷,棒上系一条长绳,人远远地牵着,看鸟雀下来啄食,走到竹筛底下的时候,将绳子一拉,便罩住了。 (15) 我轻轻地扣着板门,刚才那个小姑娘出来开了门,抬头看了看,先愣了一下,后来就微笑了,招手叫我进去。 对汉语句子时间顺序进行实证性考察,发现除了现实的时间顺序原则外,还有抽象的时间顺序和心理的时间顺序。 抽象的时间顺序是指未进入现实时间流程的时间顺序,事件之间的时间关系只存在于人们的逻辑推理中。例如: (16) 你先出去,让我们起来。 上例前后两分句的动词“出去”、“起来”在说话者说这句话的时候还没有进入现实的时间流程,还不具备实际发生的时间,但两个分句的时间先后一目了然。心理的时间顺序是指人说话时主观心理轴上的时间顺序,一种是先交待已知的、次要的,然后交待未知的、重要的信息。“已知+ 未知”的信息结构是人们主观心理轴上的时间顺序在汉语中的反映。另一种是先认识的先说,后认识的后说。例如: (17) 玫瑰花儿可爱,棘多扎手。 (18) 这句话不只说出了气候上的一条规律,也是人类生活中的一条哲理。 例17 中说话人把前一分句作为已知信息,作为铺垫,意在后一分句。在例18 中,后一分句比前一分句意思递进了一层,是信息焦点,是强调的对象。 (19) 袭人羞得脸紫胀起来,想想原是自己把话说错了。 这句话是前果后因句,句序似乎跟前两种顺序相悖,但仔细体会一下人们说这话的心理:人们在叙述中顺着上文先说出某种结果,接着想到有必要,于是又补充说出一个理由或原因。补充说明的内容是事后的想法,它置于结果句后,是因为它是说话者后来想到或意识到的。 由上观之,汉语的句序比较固定,时间顺序是复句安排分句次序的一个经常起作用的原则。在英汉翻译中,由于汉语表达的需要,常需改变原文的句序,即使很短的句子也有句序调整的问题。例如: (20) I am glad to see you. (见到你很高兴。) 在英语里,一般都是先说出个人的感受,然后再说有关的情况,说明为什么会有那样的感受。汉语则往往相反,先说具体情况,然后再说个人的感受。 由于英语句子是树式结构,句子成分叠床架屋,层层叠叠,形成一个立体的空间构架,英语这种构造手法使得时间顺序的格式显示不出来。而汉语则不存在一个主干结构,它是由结构上现对独立的单句连接而成的,整个复句呈现出平面线性延伸。尽管分句流放不拘,疏散铺排,但整个复句并不杂乱无章,而是贯通一气。这其中之章法就是一定的顺序:一个个事件、一层层意思按照时间顺序排列,整个句子形散而神聚。因此在英汉翻译中,有时可以从源语到目的语直接传译, 如下图所示: X ————→Y但由于两种语言具有以上所述的结构差异,而译者往往要走一条曲折的路,如下图所示: X Y└—————————↑也就是说,为了顺利地进行传译,首先要对英语句子进行拆卸(unpack) 和逆转换(back - transform) ,将拆卸下来的各部分转换成核心句(kernel sentence) 形式,然后再由核心句传译成汉语的一个个分句,最后将分句按时间顺序作句序调整,生成汉语译文。如下图所示: 英语原文 汉语译文↓ ↑切分,逆转换 句序调整↓ ↑英语核心句——————→汉语分句对这一操作步骤,下面举例说明: (21) I put on my clothes by the light of a half - moon justsetting ,whose rays streamed through the narrow window near mycrib. 首先对英语原句进行“拆卸”处理,原句可切分出三个核心句: ①I put on my clothes by the light of a half - moon. (SVOA) ②A half - moon was just setting. (SV) ③The moon rays streamed through the narrow window nearmy crib. (SVA) 经分析,三个核心句的时间顺序依次为②—③—①。经过此番调整,就可以顺利地传译为: 半轮晓月渐渐西沉,月光透过小床旁边一个窄窄的窗子射进来,我趁着月光穿上衣服。 (22) It was an old woman , tall and shapely still , thoughwithered by time ,on whom his eyes fell when he stopped andturned. 首先对原句进行“拆分”处理,原句可切分为七个核心句: ①It was an old woman. ②She was tall. ③She was shapely still. ④She was withered by time. ⑤His eyes fell on her. ⑥He stopped. ⑦He turned. 经分析, 七个核心句的时间顺序依次为⑥—⑦—⑤—①—②—④—③。因此我们译为: 他站住,转过身来,定睛一看,原来是个年迈的妇女。她身材修长,虽受岁月折磨而略显憔悴,但丰韵犹存。 (四) 英汉翻译中语序调整的实证性分析。英汉翻译中, 语序调整是个复杂的问题,忽略对这一问题的研究是导致翻译作品洋腔洋调、晦涩难懂的主要原因。用以上的观点审视译著《简·爱》,确实在这方面发现了一些问题。 (23) It was cruel to shut me up alone without a candle. (多狠心呀,把我一个人关在里面,连支蜡烛也不点。) 本例原文句子重心应在cruel 上,不定式短语置于句末不是信息焦点,而是为了实现英语造句普遍遵循的末端重心的原则,避免头重足轻现象。按照汉语先具体再评价的原则,试改译为:把我一个儿关在里面,连支蜡烛也不点,真狠心呀! (24) I then sat with my doll on my knee , till the fire gotlow ,glancing round occasionally to make sure that nothing worsethan myself haunted the shadowy room. (随后,我把玩偶放在膝头上枯坐着,直到炉火渐渐暗淡,还不时东张西望,弄清楚除了我没有更可怕的东西光顾这昏暗的房间。) 译文与原文不符。经分析,原文至少可切分为三个核心句: ①I sat with my doll on my knee. (SVA) ②The fire got low. (SVC) ③I glanced round. . . (SVA) 切分出的三个核心句的时间顺序应为①—③—②。原文中③分句是①分句的伴随行为,它置于句末,是为了符合末端重心的原则。按照汉语复句时间顺序的生成规律,原译有失原意,试改译为:随后,我把玩偶放在膝头上枯坐,还不时东张西望,看看有没有什么比我更坏的东西光顾这昏暗的房间,这样直坐到炉火暗淡。 (25) This is all provoking to Miss Scatchered ,who is naturally neat ,punctual and particular. (这一桩桩都使斯卡查德小姐很恼火,她天生讲究整洁,遵守时刻,一丝不苟。) 先交待外围成分,已知信息,然后点题,提出未知信息,这是汉语行文的一般规律。原句第一分句是果,是未知信息,放在句末较好。因此原译句序应调整为:斯卡查德小姐天生讲究整洁,遵守时刻,一丝不苟;这一桩桩都使她非常恼火。 29. Have I not described a pleasant site for a dwelling ,whichI speak of it as bosomed in hill and wood , and riding from theverge of a stream ? (我不是描写了一个可爱的住所么? 我把它说成是偎依在小山和树林之中,屹立在小河之边上。) 按照“已知+ 未知”的汉语时间句序,应先有论据(已知信息) ,后有结论(未知信息) 。由于原译句序与此相悖,因此需作调整,试改译为:我说它掩映山林之中,坐临溪流之畔,不是把它描写成了一个可爱的住所么? 当然,原文的句序,即先说出结论,再给出论据的句序在汉语中也是有的,但是原译和改译却存在着文体上的差别。 先下结论再去寻找论据的句序是说话者思想不成熟的表现, 因为论据是说者事后才想到的。这种表达的顺序常出现在口语中,口语色彩比较浓。而《简·爱》的原文结构严谨,一点也不松散,是典型的书面语体。由此看来,原译与原文在文体上有出入。 通过以上英汉翻译过程中主语的确定、信息焦点的突出方法、汉语时间句序的特点以及英汉翻译的实证分析,可以了解到英汉两种语言有其各自的特点。要做到翻译忠实、通顺, 语序调整是有必要的。 [参考文献] [1 ]Bronte ,Charlotte.
