名词的抽象译法 抽象译法就是把具体的或比较具体的名词用抽象的或比较抽象的名词来翻译。 一般认为，汉语中名词倾向于具体，常常用实的形式表示虚的概念，以具体的形式表达抽象的内容；而抽象名词的大量使用，是现代英语的一个特点。 因此在汉译英的过程中，为了让译文忠实通顺，我们不得不把原文中带有具体意义或具体形象的名词进行抽象化处理。 一、名词抽象译法实例 暴力事件 violence 混乱状态 confusion 个人主义 individualism 准确性 accuracy 蒸发作用 evaporation 二、成语和习语抽象译法实例. 粗枝大叶 1.to be crude and careless 2. with big branches and large leaves 海阔天空 1.
