中英文中虚拟语气翻译研究 A Study of the Translation Skills on the?Subjunctive Mood?Used in English and Chinese 摘要 本文旨在研究中英文中虚拟语气的表达方式，寻找二者的一致性和差异性，并通过对一些常见的虚拟语气误译的分析，尝试提出中英文中虚拟语气互译的翻译策略。 虽然目前理论界对虚拟语气是否应该属于英语语法范畴存在分歧，但笔者仍沿用传统观点，从语法角度对英语虚拟语气的表达和时态等问题进行了分析。同时，针对中文中的情态动词和虚拟语气的表达方式的研究，了解到相对于英文的虚拟语气表达方式的规范性，中文的虚拟式的表达手段更加灵活、开放，因此在两者的互译过程中，对原文的理解和对译入语的语言表达能力是准确翻译中英文中虚拟语气的关键。 本文还列举了近十个常见的虚拟语气的误译实例，来对上述翻译方法和技巧进行了探讨。 关键词：虚拟语气；语法；情态动词；翻译 Abstract This paper focuses its study on the performing methods of subjunctive mood in English and Chinese, and tries to find out their uniformities?and differences. Through analyzing the common subjunctive mistranslations, the author attempts to come up with the translation strategy of subjunctive mood in English and Chinese. Though there is disagreement in theory whether the subjunctive mood should be considered as an English grammatical structure, the author of this paper still studied the tenses and expression methods of English subjunctive mood as an English grammatical structure along the traditional views. The author analyzed modal verbs and performing methods of subjunctive mood in Chinese. Comparing with the normative performing forms in English subjunctive mood, the author found out that Chinese subjunctive performing methods are more flexible. Accordingly the key of accurate translation of subjunctive mood in English and Chinese is the comprehension?with SLT (source language text) and the language competency of the TL (target language) during translation. The paper still listed nearly 10 mistranslation examples of subjunctive mood to explore the translation skills and methods above. Key words: subjunctive mood; grammar; modal verbs; translation Table of Contents Page 1.????Introduction??? 1 1.1 Research Background and Significance 1 1.2 Research Objective 1 1.3 Paper Organization 1 2.???
