英語翻譯的基礎知識
1. 異化 (foreignization) 和歸化 (domestication)
保留原語所包含的文化、形象色彩，叫異化，讀者通過這樣的譯文可以感受到異域文化的東西。例如，把crocodile tears 譯爲鱷魚淚，就是異化的翻譯方法;捨棄原語所包含的文化、形象色彩，取而代之用譯文的文化色彩，或者犧牲這種文化色彩而只翻譯出其意義就是歸化，就是讓原文“歸順”於譯文。例如把crocodile tears 譯爲假惺惺的眼淚，就是歸化的翻譯方法。
2. 直譯 (literal translation) 和意譯 (free translation) 直譯即照着原文直接翻譯，例如 藏龍臥虎 – Hidden dragons and hidden tigers. 意譯就是拋棄原文形式而只傳達其意義，例如 Dutch courage – 酒後之勇
3. 音譯 (transliteration) 比如：store – 士多 cheese –汁斯 風水 –fungshui
4. 翻譯的標準：信達雅 faithfulness, expressiveness, elegance “信”指的是忠實於原文的內容和風格 (faithful to the content and style of the source text;“達”指的是譯文語言流暢自然而不生硬阻滯 (the translation or target text should be natural and expressive);“雅”指的是譯文譯文語言風格儘可能貼近原文風格。
5. 詞類的轉化 conversion ：名詞 動詞 形容詞 副詞 根據表達需要，在翻譯中，往往需要進行詞類的轉化，此外，還包括抽象與具體的轉化。
6. 增添法 amplification 比如：增添連接詞、範疇詞、冠詞、介詞等等
7. 省略法 omission比如：省略連接詞、範疇詞、冠詞、介詞等等
8. 漢語是意合(parataxis)語言，分句之間的關係是隱性的 (covert)，英語是形合 (hypotaxis) 語言，分句之間關係還是顯性的 (overt)
9. 英語的54種基本句型：
SV / SVC / SVO / SVOO / SVOC
10. 比較來說，漢語是動態 (dynamic) 語言 英語是靜態( static) 語言;漢語更喜歡使用有靈主語(及人或其他有生命的詞作主語animate subject)，英語更喜歡無靈主語(inaminate subject)，例如：The sight of the photo reminded me of ...(參考教材31面)
11. 句子層次來說，英譯漢常要分division, 漢譯英常要合 combination.

Dumplings

There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings”. During the Spring Festival and other holidays, or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new year.

大四
現在大學生的學習壓力相當重。除了大四，他們開始找工作了，其餘的學生總是忙於學習，而不願參加校園團體和俱樂部，不願參加體育鍛煉和其他課外活動，不願與他們的朋友玩玩，不願關心和學習沒有關係的事。總之，他們就像一個機器人。壓力大，時間少，功課多。看到同寢室裏的人都上圖書館去學習，到深夜閉館纔回，而自己卻去看電影，他們就會有一中內疚感。一想到白天什麼事都沒幹，心理就感到不安，會整夜因此睡不着覺。他們學習太緊張，幾乎沒有時間好好品嚐生活，幹些其他事，成爲一個全面發展的人。讀大學使他們失去太多的個人幸福和健康。
Nowadays, college students bear great/heavy academic pressure. You will find all of them, except seniors who are beginning to look for a job, always too busy with their studies to join campus organizations or clubs, to take part in sports and other extracurricular activities, to play with their friends, and to pay attention to anything unconnected with their studies. In short, they are just like a robot. They are under great pressure to do too much work in too little time. If they go to a movie while their roommates are studying in the library until it closes at midnight, they will feel guilty. The very idea of doing nothing during the day will make them uncomfortable and sleepless all night. They study so hard that they hardly have time to savour life and to pursue other interests to grow as all/well-
rounded people. The pursuit of college education costs them too much personal happiness and health.
衚衕
北京有無數的衚衕(hutong)。平民百姓在衚衕裏的生活給古都北京帶來了無窮的魅力。北京的衚衕不僅僅 是平民百姓的生活環境，而且還是一門建築藝術。通常，衚衕內有一個大雜院，房間夠4到10個家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以，衚衕裏的生活充滿了友善和人情味。如今，隨着社會和經濟的飛速發展，很多衚衕被新的高樓大 廈所取代。但願衚衕可以保留下來。
In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs. The life of common people in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing. The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture. Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people. Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity. Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings. I hope hutongs can be preserved.
