考研英语翻译怎么考 考研英语翻译考什么( 五 )


相反 , 在英译汉时 , 有时候也会见到把英语的两个单句 , 复合句和并列句压缩糅合在一起翻译 , 或者合并一起用少个句子、短语或者词组就可以准确表达其意思 。期间可以加上合适的连接词 , 将句子内在逻辑关系表现出来 。这样处理比较符合汉语语言的洗练简洁的特点 , 避免译文的拖泥带水和罗嗦的缺点 。

6. Put an egg into a glass of fresh water. The egg will sink to the bottom of the glass.

六、重复法
重复法是指在译文中适当地重复原文中出现过的词语 , 以使意思表达得更加清楚;或者进一步加强语气 , 突出强调某些内容 , 收到更好的修辞效果 。一般而言 , 英语往往为了行文简洁而尽量避免重复 。所以 , 英语经常借助替代、省略或变换等其他表达方法 。相反 , 重复却是汉语表达的一个显著特点 。在许多场合某些词语不仅需要重复 , 而且也只有重复这些词语 , 语义才能明确 , 表达才能生动 。为了达到汉语译文准确、通顺和完整的翻译标准 , 在翻译中 , 常常需要将一些关键性的词加以重复 。重复法也不可盲目滥用 。否则 , 过度重复会使译文罗嗦累赘、单调乏味 。只有在准确理解原文的基础上 , 灵活运用重复法才能让译文表达得更加准确、更加通顺 。
