汉英翻译第十二讲隐喻地译法.pptVIP

第十三讲 隐喻的译法 一.直译法 在符合英语习惯的情况下，应尽可能在译文中保留原文比喻性词语所用的形象，使译文在内容上和修辞上与原文保持一致： 张正国告诉他时，旁边有听见的人也笑了。那老头子装着没看见，像个老僧入定的那样呆坐着。 As Zhang Zhengguo was speaking, the bystanders who heard him started laughing. The old man pretended not to have noticed it, sitting motionless there like an old monk engaged in contemplation. 二.意译法 原文比喻的形象在译文中难以再现或不合乎译文语言习惯，传神达意也较差时，只好舍去原文比喻性词语所用的形象，保留原比喻的含义，舍形求意，采用意译法。 脱掉棉衣换上春装的人们，好像卸下了千斤重载，真是蹿跳觉得轻松，爬起卧倒感到利落。 With their heavy winter clothing changed for lighter spring wear they could leap or crouch down much more freely and nimbly. 译文中用修饰词heavy，lighter两词，含蓄地表达了原文“卸下千斤重载”的含义。
