《傲慢與偏見》內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介:
小說(shuō)講述了Bennet一家五位千金的婚姻與愛情,表達(dá)了婚姻必須建立在愛情和經(jīng)濟(jì)兩個(gè)基礎(chǔ)上的婚姻觀。傲慢而深情的達(dá)西先生成為小說(shuō)塑造的一個(gè)經(jīng)典形象。簡(jiǎn)奧斯丁的語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)練而幽默,反復(fù)品味,趣味無(wú)窮。

反譯:此刻,她心中思緒如潮。

“思緒如潮”,我們應(yīng)該用一個(gè)怎樣的形象表達(dá)來(lái)翻譯呢?

翻譯例句:
The train of agreeable reflections which her observation gave birth to made her perhaps almost as happy as Jane. (Chapter 18)
從觀察中衍生出的一系列美好想象使得她幾乎和簡(jiǎn)一樣歡喜。

詞語(yǔ)解析:
上面這個(gè)句子中有一個(gè)詞組,a train of,意為“一系列的、連續(xù)的”。a train of thought,意為“思緒、思路”,這個(gè)說(shuō)法非常形象,將腦海中的思想比作一列高速馳來(lái)的列車,極為簡(jiǎn)潔地體現(xiàn)出那種思緒紛紛,連綿不絕的意思。這個(gè)詞組也可以表達(dá)成stream of thought、chain of thought。


漢譯英:
1.我完全跟不上他的想法,他一會(huì)一個(gè)主意。
I can't follow his train of thought. Every second he gets a new obsession.

2.突然而來(lái)的敲門聲打斷了他的思緒。
There was a sudden knock on the door, then he lost his train of thought.

3.一說(shuō)起大學(xué)時(shí)代,我的腦中就閃過(guò)一段繽紛的回憶。
A train of nice recollections runs across my mind when speaking about my college years.

4.眼前的美景令人不由得產(chǎn)生無(wú)窮聯(lián)想。
The beautiful view gives birth to a train of imaginations.
