Rip Van Winkle 《瑞普·凡·温克尔 》赏析 作家：华盛顿·欧文 Washington Irving 译者：林纾 LIN Shu Appreciation of translation English into Chinese 1、Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed every hour of the day, produces some change in the magical hues and shapes of these mountains, and they are regarded by all the good wives, far and near, as perfect barometers. 译文：四时代谢，及旦晚阴晴，山容辄随物候而变：因之村庄中承家之妇恒视此山若寒暑表焉。 解析：1）英译汉时将被动变为主动：家之妇长久地凝视此山的变化就能想出天气的变化 ；而不是变化被家之妇看作是晴雨表。2）英译汉时译出因果关系：因为山脉在季节之间、阴晴之间、旦夕之间的变化，家之妇们才能够想出天气的变化。 2、It is a little village of great antiquity, having been founded by some of the Dutch colonists, in the early times of the province, just about the beginning of the government of the good Peter Stuyvesant, (may he rest in peace!) and there were some of the houses of the original settlers standing within a few years, built of small yellow bricks brought from Holland, having latticed windows and gable fronts, surmounted with weathercocks. 译文：是村古矣，方美洲新立，荷兰人曾于此殖民；年代既久，村人乃不专属荷兰，然荷人遗宅犹有存者。宅之墙墉，均砌小砖，砖盖得诸荷兰。窗眼作木格，古制触目。屋角四翘，屋顶置箭羽，乘信风而转，用表风色。 解析：1）采用综合法(有顺有逆)：having….Stuyvesant两句用逆序，译成：美洲才建立的时候，荷兰人曾在此殖民。更好的表达出时间的顺序；添加“曾”字体现出过去发生的动作。2）此处增加“乘信风而转，用表风色”，用来对前面的名词weathercock做解释说明，增强了读者对原文的理解力。 3、Their tempers, doubtless, are rendered pliant and malleable in the fiery furnace of domestic tribulation, and a curtain lecture is worth all the sermons in the world for teaching the virtues of patience and long-suffering. 译文：天下人苟得阃教检束，无不扶服如鼠猬矣；其处外接物，安能长王其气?是犹铁质锻之烈火，长短随锻人所命耳。可知密帐温帏中之教养，较诸牧师之演说，变化气质，为倍十也。 解析： 此处用比较句式，突显出和牧师的演说相比，男人们在家庭痛苦的熔炉中锻造，他们的脾气和态度会消失的无影无踪，也显示出瑞普的妻子是无比的彪悍强势。 4、The children of the village, too, would shout with joy whenever he approached. He assisted at their sports, made their playthings, taught them to fly kites and shoot marbles, and told them long stories of ghosts, witches, and Indians. Whenever he went dodging about the village, he was surrounded by a troop of them, hanging on his skirts, clambering on his back, and playing a thousand tricks on him with impun
