  2. I'll be here for good this time.

  這一次我再也不走了。(不譯:“永遠在此呆下去”)

  5. "Now, Clara, be firm with theboy!"

  (二) 刪減解釋詞

  到南方去的人看見那些黑白混血的女郎,一定會注意到她們十之八九都有那種獨特的優(yōu)雅風度、那種溫柔的聲音和文靜的舉止。

  (三) 短句拆譯

  (四) 譯詞推陳出新

  原譯:當他可以大膽行動的時候,他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己除了一個情人所具有的那種普通的害怕之外,心里還充滿懷疑、顧慮和躊躇。

  改譯:等到他不妨放膽去追求的時候,他卻遲疑不定,顧慮重重。至于一般墮入情網(wǎng)的人那種常有的提心吊膽的心理,那就更是難免的了。

  (五)解釋性添詞

  "George, I'm ashamed of you!George, I couldn't have believed you would have done it! I always knew you tobe a rolling stone that gathered no moss; but I never thought you would havetaken away what little moss there was for Bagnet and the children to lieupon," said Mrs. Bagnet.

  “喬治,我真替你害臊﹗喬治,想不到你會干出這種事情來﹗俗話說得好:滾著的碌碡不長苔,流浪的漢子不攢財。我早知道你就是這么一個流浪漢﹗可真沒有想到你連貝格納特和孩子們靠它過活的那一點點財也騙走”,貝格納特太太說道。

  (六)詞無定譯

  It is quite useless to ask whetherVanderbilt was criminally prosecuted or civilly sued by the Government. Notonly was he unmolested, but two years later, he carried on another huge swindleupon the Government under peculiary heinous conditions.

  我們根本不必追問政府是否根據(jù)刑法或民法對范德比爾特提出起訴。范德比爾特不僅逍遙法外,而且在兩年后又以極其兇狠的手段對政府進行過一次巨大的詐騙。

  (七) 精煉譯詞

  A new dignity crept into his walk.

  原譯:走路的姿態(tài)不知甚么時候開始給人一種莊重的印象。

  改譯:走起路來,不覺平添了幾分尊嚴。

  (八)刪削"When"字

  1. When he saw me, he was startled.

  他看見我,嚇了一大跳,(不譯:當他看見我的時候......)

  2. "When your gals takes on andcry, what's the use of cracking on them over the head, and knocking on themround?"

  “你那些女黑奴哭得那么傷心,你還拿鞭子沒頭沒腦的抽,把她們打得死去活來,那有什么用呢?”(不譯:當你那些女黑奴哭得那么傷心的時候,你還拿鞭子......)

  (九)感嘆詞的不同譯法

  其實真正英語口譯系統(tǒng)學起來的時候可不僅僅只有上面提到的方法,你將會學到更多更多的技巧。但是我們要注意的是,無論是什么技巧與方法,都是以努力學習為基礎的。不努力什么方法也沒有。想要學習專業(yè)的翻譯課程,滬江網(wǎng)是你不錯的選擇。
