翻译与实践课程心得 翻译理论与实践课程心得 外国语言学及应用语言学 闫旭东 半个学期的翻译理论与实践课程下来，我收获很多。我不仅学到了一些新的知识，而且也改变了许多我曾经的对待翻译的看法。首先，并不是一篇流畅通顺的翻译就是好的翻译，当然，人们判定一篇翻译的好与坏有自己的观点，或许并无对错之分，但是至少我形成了自己的标准。另外，我也学习到了翻译中的一些注意事项以及翻译方法。最后，这次课程中，通过我对每篇文章的翻译实践后得出，作为一名译者，要想做出精彩的翻译，母语一定要有很高的水平，母语在翻译中起着很大的作用。以下将分别对上述三方面详细说明。 1. 如何评价翻译 评价一个人的翻译要站在历史的背景下，分析译者身份以及其所处的社会文化环境，历史背景和译者身份的不同会造成译文在风格上的很大差异。例如，对红楼梦的翻译中，对比如下： （1）Here his attention was attracted by the ruddy sun, shining in the zenith, the shade of the trees extending far and wide, the song of the cicadas, filling the ear; and by a perfect stillness, not even broken by the echo of a human voice. But the instant he got near the trellis, with the cinnamon roses, the sound of sobs fell on his ear. Doubts and surmises crept into Pao-yü?s mind, so halting at once, he listened with intentness. Then actually he discerned some one on the off-side of the trellis. This was the fifth moon, the season when the flowers and foliage of the cinnamon roses were in full bloom. (translation made in 1891) (Hung Lou Meng: Book II. Translated by H. Bencraft Joly. 120-23) 【译者简介】H. Bencraft Joly, British Vice-Consulate, Macao, began to translate Hung Lou Meng in the 19th century, but died before he had nearly completed the task. Published in 1892-3 by Messrs Kelly and Walsh, the translated work contains 56 chapters literally rendered with expurgations. （2）The burning sun was now in the height of heaven, the contracted shadows were concentrated darkly beneath the trees, and the stillness of noon, filled with the harsh trilling of cicadas, was broken by no human voice; but as he approached the bamboo trellises of the rose-garden, a sound like a suppressed sob seemed to come from inside the pergola. Uncertain what it was that he had heard, he stopped to listen. Undoubtedly there was someone there. This was the fifth month of the year, when the rambler roses are in fullest bloom. 译者：(Hawkes, 1977: 101-104; Vol. 2; Cha. 30) 从上述中加粗的词语以及整体文章风格来看，第一篇用词明显偏正式，而第二篇要相对随意的多。两篇译文翻译风格大相径庭。但是不能单纯指
