英语翻译之英语谚语的译法

《辞海》说:谚语是“熟语的一种,流传于民间的简练通俗而富有意义的语句,大多反映人民生活和斗争的经验。”《现代汉语词典》说:谚语是“在群众中间流传的固定语句,用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理。”泽尔巴赫说:“谚语是凝结的群众智慧。”英国政治家约翰·罗素说:“谚语是一个人的才智,也是许多人的才智。”

学好谚语,对于英语的提高非常有帮助,一些谚语如果能够做到信手拈来,会让你的文采增色不少。比较谚语的中文和英文,也会让你体会到不同文化之间很多道理都是相同的。有的智慧是如此的相似,简直如出一辙。不得不感慨人类之伟大。

说说不起眼的it

在英语中,it是一个常用的代词,用于指代事或物,相当于汉语的“它”。不过,由于中西方语言的差异,在英汉互译的过程中往往不能直译为“它”。如It's a desk. 应译为“这是(一张)书桌” ,而不是“它是(一张)桌子”。

其实,it看似简单,但有时由于所指不明确,会造成翻译上的困难。比如,Can you dig it?意思并不是问“你能将它挖出来吗?”这里,it并不指任何具体的事物,而是泛泛地指“情况”。因此,这句话的正确意思是“你弄明白了吗?”

又如I can't help it.的意思是“我也无能为力/我也没辙”,其中的it也指情形/局面或事态的发展。

有时侯,我们可以将it看成是习语的一部分,比如:

blow it: 出错

buy it: 愿听某人说(买东西时一般说:I'll take it/this one)

catch it: 挨骂或受罚

(be) at it: 忙于做某事

flush it: 弄砸

wing it: 毫无准备地做某事

call it a day:(一天的工作)到此为止

Easy does it: 小心/谨慎从事

在it的众多用法中,还有一种用法被称之为“假宾语(sham object,包括介词宾语)”。比如“Cool it”是叫人“悠着点”;“Bottle it!”是让人“闭嘴”;“Beat it!”是叫人“滚蛋!”。下面一些句子均含有“假宾语”的结构:

They finally legged it back to the school.

他们最后还是选择步行回到了学校。

We must brave it out no matter what they say.

不管他们说什么,我们都得坚持下去。

He then clerked it in a local bank.

后来他只好在当地一家银行当职员。

You must make a go of it.

你们一定要干得漂亮点。

They really hit it well with the natives.

他们和当地人确实相处得很好。

He reached the railway station just one minute before the train was due to leave. He cut it too fine.

他在火车临开前一分钟才赶到车站,时间压得太紧了。

I gave it to him hot and strong.

我让他吃不了兜着走。

He decided to bach it all his life.

他决定打一辈子光棍。

The Bloom family of four adults and five children pigged it in the two rooms.

布鲁姆一家有四个大人,五个孩子,他们挤着住在两个房间里。

You'll live to rue it.

你总有一天要后悔的。

Will football make it in the country that calls it soccer?

在足球被称为soccer的国家,足球能流行起来吗?

此外,英语中一些骂人的粗话也常使用it,如Hang it!,Confound it!,Damn it!,Cram it! 相当于汉语的“该死”“讨厌”“见鬼”之类的意思。(注意慎用)

科技翻译和逻辑判断

科技翻译不仅仅是个语言问题(词汇、语法、修辞等),它还牵涉到许多非语言方面的因素,逻辑便是其中最活跃、最重要的因素。苏联语言学家巴尔胡达罗夫曾举过这样一个例子:John is in the pen ,任何人也不会把句中的pen译为笔,而只能译为“牲口圈”,因为“人在钢笔里”是不合事理的。这说明在翻译中常常会碰到需要运用逻辑来判断和解决一些似乎不合逻辑的语言现象,这里说的逻辑判断,主要是指对原文语言思维逻辑的判断和译文的技术逻辑的判断。

例如:

1. Summary must be a condensed version of body of the report, written in language understandable by those members of mine management who may not be specialists in the field of rock testing, but who are nonetheless responsible for the work.

原译:摘要必须是报告的编写本,要以矿山管理部门人员能够理解的语言编写,这些人虽不是岩石试验方面的专家,但他们对这方面的工作负责。

分析:我们先来看一下原文的语言:两个“who-”定语从句,第一个可以看作表示原因的状语从句,第二个是非限制性定语从句,对先行词进行补充说明,but不是单纯的转折,而是和第一个从句中的not呼应,意思是“而是”或“只是”。由此,本句的意思已经比较明朗了:所以要以非专家的语言编写,是因为这些管理人员不是专家,而不是因为他们对这方面的工作负责。

现译为:摘要必须是报告的编写本,要以矿山管理部门人员能够理解的语言编写;他们虽然负责岩石试验工作,但不是这方面的专家。

2. The 20th century will not be remembered as the era when space was conquered, or the power of the atom, harnessed, but that in which were made the first machines having intelligence.

原译:将来人们回忆起20世纪的时候,不会把它看成是征服了太空和利用了原子动力的世纪,而是看成制造了首批具有智能的机器的世纪。

分析:对上面的译文进行逻辑判断时,首先看中文表达和所述事情在逻辑上是否有问题,我们感到有问题的是,究竟是把20世纪看作是什么样的世纪合适,是制造了首批智能机器的世纪,还是征服宇宙的世纪或原子能利用的世纪,我们常说:20世纪是征服宇宙的世纪,或者说,20世纪是原子能世纪,在发现译文不符合逻辑后,要注意研究原文语言。原句中的but= (unless)相当于表示否定意义的连词,含义是“如果不……”。其次,我们还要正确理解remember as ……这个补语的含义并恰当选择翻译表达形式。在翻译中常译为“把……叫做……”(称……为……)。此外,句中所说的the first machines, 通常是指electronic computers 而言。从技术逻辑上看,当今世界,如果没有具有智能的计算机一类机器,火箭就不能上天,原子能生产就无法控制。(即:A spacecraft cannot leave the earth and go to the moon without computers.)经过上述分析后,可提供如下译文:

如果在20世纪世不制造出具备智能的首批机器,我们就不会称为20世纪为征服宇宙的世纪或者称之为原子能利用的世纪。

上句也可采取“否定+否定=肯定”的翻译处理形式翻译:

只有在20世纪制造出了具有智能的首批机器,我们才会将20世纪称为征服宇宙的世纪或利用原子能的世纪。

可见,就科技英语而论,理解原文的过程,在多数情况下,是一个语义辩认,语法分析和逻辑分析三方面交互作用的过程,而不单单是一个逻辑分析的过程,请看下面的例句。

3. Shortly before the uninhabited space station reached orbit in May 1973,aerodynamic pressure ripped off a meteoroid and heat shield.

原译:在1973年5月无人空间站到达轨道前不久,空气动力压力扯破了一个流星体和挡热板。 分析:首先,从逻辑上看,说:“空气动力压力扯破了一个流星体”,是不合事理的,荒谬可笑的。其次,从语言上看,不定冠词a是说明shield的,而不是说明meteorlid的。否则,无法解释在名词shield 之前为何没有冠词。通过逻辑分析和语言分析可以清楚地看出,名词meteoroid和名词heat原来都是名词shield 的定语。A meteoroid and heat shield 的意思是:一个防流星体和防热的护罩。

综上所述,无论是理解原文的过程,还是寻求适当的汉语表达形式的过程,都是跟判断打交道的过程。科技英语因其专业特点及其相关背景知识,逻辑判断在我们进行译文处理时,显得尤其重要。语言具有民族的特点,而判断则具有全人类的性质。因此,掌握逻辑学里某些关于判断的知识,对于透彻理解原文,减少翻译错误,提高译文的质量,无疑是不少好处的。
