新东方 中级口译常见的翻译技巧

常见的翻译技巧

一、词义的多样性表达

1、一个单词多种表达

2、多个词表达一个意思，如表达“死”

除此之外，还有多个词翻译成一个意思（主要指英译汉），不再具体讲。

3、几个单词

二、增减词

增词：原文意思在，表达不清楚，英文中如果不增词，就表达不够完整

减词：原文中表达意思的词在，如果汉语中不把词减去的话，显得累赘

如色狼：wolf 不能说color wolf

（一）添词例子：

确保正确，不是100％必须

添加解释说明性文字，添加必须性文字(重点)。

1、Mr. Edwards and Mr. Cheney offered a striking contrast in appearance as they sat side by side, with Mr. Cheney looking his 63 years and Mr. Edwards looking less than his 51.

来自《纽约时报》：爱得华兹先生与切尼先生并排就座时，外表殊为不同，切尼先生看上去与实际年龄63岁相仿，而爱得华兹先生看上去比实际年龄51岁年轻。

2、This great scientist was born in New England.

这位伟大的科学家出生于美国东北部的新英格兰。

3、Those were the words that were to make the world blossom for me, “like Aaron’s rod, with flowers.” (high priest)

were to表示将来；Aaron是摩西的兄弟

正是这几句话，日后让整个世界在我面前如花展开，就像《圣经》中所说的“亚伦的杖开了花”。（来自美国的海伦凯勒）

4、三个臭皮匠，抵个诸葛亮

Two heads are better than one.

The wit of three cobblers surpasses that of Zhuge Liang, the master mind. (civic pride)

5、班门弄斧

to teach fish to swim; to teach the old granny to suck eggs

to show off one’s proficiency with the axe before Lu Ban, the master carpenter

阴: negative aspect of things

（二）减词例子：

减去解释说明性文字

减去原文有、不减难受的词，减去必须性，必须减。
