反说正译法.ppt

Unit 7 Affirmative vs. Negative 英语中含有no，not，never，none，nothing, nowhere, nobody, neither, nor, dis-, un-，-less，im-，in-，ir-, non-等成分的词句，都被视为否定表达，简称反说。相反，英语中不含这些成分的词句称为肯定说法，简称正说。汉语中含有“不”，“没”，“未”，“休”，“莫”，“非”，“否”，“勿” “别”等也都是否定表达。在翻译中通常都可以保留原文的否定表达，但有时为了表达更为顺畅，符合目的语的表达方法，或为了增强语言效果，有时反说正译，或正说反译。 Detailed Learning 正反、反正表达法概述：Negation：正反、反正译法也叫反面着笔法、逆向翻译法、正说反译，反说正译法、变换角度翻译法。概念的中心是指原文从一个角度入手，而译文有时恰恰从相反的角度表达。翻译实践中此翻译法处理的可以是一个词，一个短语，甚至是整个句子。恰当的使用此技巧可使行文委婉，含蓄，优美，使译者思路更加开阔 eg.
