The soup was cold, and the ice cream was warm. The fish was like the Marine Corps. It apparently had already been on land for several days; the meat was like submarine sailors, having been submerged in water for a long time. Besides the vinegar, the bread, the butter, and the red wine were all sour. They completely lost their appetites while eating and couldn't hit it off in their conversation either.

【翻譯筆記】《圍城》英譯選句 - “算命”
須用復(fù)數(shù)形式,如: 他自稱會(huì)給人算命。 He claimed that he could tell people’s fortunes. 但tell (him) his fortune,tell (you) your fortune等表達(dá)方式里該用單數(shù)形式。 要是如譯文中的用法,我們也可舉一例,如: 她請(qǐng)人給她算了命。 She had her fortune told。 注意:在說(shuō)一個(gè)人的“遭遇”、“運(yùn)氣”或“處境”時(shí)往往用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如: Her fortunes varied but she never lost courage. 她的運(yùn)氣時(shí)好時(shí)壞,但她從不氣餒。 連累 “連累”,即“把某人牽涉(或牽扯)到某事里”,也可以用不同的方法。如implicate; involve; get sb. into sth.。如: 他的自白供出其他一些政治人物涉及此事。 His confession implicated a number of other politicians in the affair. 你害得我添了一大堆額外的工作。 You have involved me in a great deal of extra work. 這翻譯關(guān)鍵詞:忍不住,算命,連累 譯件事連累了許多人。 The incident got many people into trouble. 點(diǎn)擊進(jìn)入口譯筆譯備考小組>> (本文由滬江原創(chuàng),轉(zhuǎn)載請(qǐng)注明出處) 查看更多【翻譯筆記】系列>>

【翻譯筆記】《圍城》英譯選句 - “教子以義方”
而我愿他把精力用在更好的事業(yè)上。 不過(guò)話說(shuō)老師也曾經(jīng)叮囑過(guò)我們,最好還是嚴(yán)格按照while的原義“在……的時(shí)間內(nèi)”(during the time that)使用為好。因此童鞋們翻譯時(shí)就看著辦吧~囧 話(兒) 與“雖然”的表達(dá)一樣,作名詞用時(shí),我們也有幾個(gè)常用的單詞,如word; talk; remark,譯文中用了remark,該詞常記載在日記和回憶錄里給天下后世看方遯翁怎樣教子以義方的。(錢(qián)鐘書(shū) - 圍城 ) 翻譯用來(lái)表示“有評(píng)論性質(zhì)的話”。除了文中的用法,remark后面還常常可以接以that引導(dǎo)的從句。例如: He closed the discussion with the remark that “he who plays with fire gets burnt”. 他以“玩火者自焚”這么一句話結(jié)束了討論。 in accordance with與according to “教子以義方”用的“以”即“依照,依據(jù)”,而in accordance with與according to都能用來(lái)表達(dá)該意,究竟什么時(shí)候用哪個(gè)好呢? 通常,說(shuō)“依照法律”、“依照章程”、“依照規(guī)則、規(guī)范”、“依照慣例”等,用in accordance with語(yǔ)氣重些,用according to往往語(yǔ)氣輕些。例如: The [w]proprietor[/w] or [w]operator[/w] of port facilities shall provide safe means for [w]mooring[/w], departing and changing to another [w]berth[/w], all in accordance with (或according to) the designed [w]specifications[/w] of the port. 港口設(shè)施的業(yè)主或經(jīng)營(yíng)者應(yīng)當(dāng)按照港口設(shè)計(jì)規(guī)范,提供安全靠岸、離岸、移動(dòng)泊位的條件。 說(shuō)“依據(jù)某書(shū)說(shuō)”、“依據(jù)某人說(shuō)”、“依據(jù)某報(bào)告”、“依據(jù)某學(xué)說(shuō)”等,只可用according to,不可用in accordance with。例如: The players are speaking and moving according to the director’s instructions. 演員們正按照導(dǎo)演的指示說(shuō)臺(tái)詞,做動(dòng)作。 說(shuō)“依據(jù)……而不同,取決于”,只可用according to。如: We pay him according to his contribution. 我們根據(jù)他的貢獻(xiàn)付酬。 義方 “義方”即“行事應(yīng)該遵守的規(guī)范和道理,做人的正道”,也可直接譯為right way of conduct,但稍嫌平淡了,所以可以采取像譯文中的譯法譯為truth and righteousness。漢英兩種語(yǔ)言存在著較大的差異,翻譯時(shí)我們一定要注意符合譯入語(yǔ)的行文習(xí)慣,這樣才能使譯文更加通順流暢哦。 點(diǎn)擊進(jìn)入口譯筆譯備考小組>> (本文由滬江原創(chuàng),轉(zhuǎn)載請(qǐng)注明出處) 查看更多【翻譯筆記】系列>>
