《傲慢与偏见》（节选之一）译文分析 Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen (An Excerpt from Chapter One) 第一句：It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of wife.*在本文中It is a truth universally acknowledged在七个译文中，大多译为“一条举世公认的真理”。在译文一二三六中，几乎无差；但在译文四中，则直接译为“一条真理”；而在译文五中则译为“这条真理无人知晓”；译文七则为“谁都知道；在其余部分single man通常被译为“单身男人”或者“单身男士”。七篇译文各有千秋，译文一和二译为“娶位太太”；三译得颇有文采“娶妻室”；而四中而贫乏无味又显得庸长；五用的是“娶妻”用的不是很妥当，且与“单身汉”不呼应；译文七也是如此。 第二句：However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.*在这七则译文中，文字上各有不同的修辞，修饰。在译文二三六七中，译者把this truth is so well fixed in ...families这句提放在句首，句式结构很具有逻辑性；而译文一则比较繁杂，啰嗦；在译文四中则把这句放在了句尾，没有起到强调作用；在译文五则译得比较贴切而又不失逻辑。 第三句：My dear Mr Bennet,said his lady to him one day, have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?*在译文一中，译者把“My dear Mr Bennet译成“我的好老爷”，个人觉得用的不是很恰当，“老爷”这一词太偏中式化了；而在二三四五六七中，则均译为“亲爱的本内特先生”，给人一种太正式化的印象，夫妻之间的谈话更应亲密些；译文五译得比较好些；而在叙述句中，said his lady to him one day译文一四五把此译文放在了第一句，其他的则放在原句位置，个人认为放在句首更加贴切。 第四句：Mr Bennet replied that he had not.*这句简单的译文七句也各不相同。replied这词在译文一二三六七中均译成了“回答”，而that从句后后的he had not原句应为he had not heard that，所以则译为“他还没听说”或是“他还没知道”，个人认为这句，在译文一至七都译得比较不错，贴近原文意思。 第五句：But it is,returned she.For Ms Long has just been here,and she told me all about it.*译文But it is一至七中，译文二三译为“的确租出去了”；译文三则“可确是租出去了”’译文四则为“但的确已经租出去了”；文五则为“当真租出去了”；译文六与七则译为“确实租出去了”。在此七句中，我认为译文五译得比较贴切。returned she大多数译文则译为“她接着说道”。all about it有些译文译得比较繁琐，尤其是译文一；译文二三四六七比较恰当；译文四用了“原委”二字，非常生动形象。 第六句：Mr Bennet made no answer.*译文对此也有不同译法，在译文一中，“班内特先生没有理睬她”；其余六句都采用了意译的手法，译文二“答话”；三“搭腔”；四“回答”；五“吭声”；六“答话”；七“搭理”。个人译文五比较好。 第七句：Do you want to know who has taken it?,cried his wife impatiently.译文一二三四六七前半句都译成“难道你不想。。。”；而译文五略逊一筹，译文七中则添加了“究竟”一词，增强语气。cried his wife impatiently在译文中均译为“不耐烦的嚷到”，“嚷”字用得非常传神。 第八句：You want to tell me, and I have to no objection to hearing
