中文英译浅谈

中文句子:就是他经常迟到。在意思上,上述句子与“他经常迟到”没有多大的不同;但是,在语气上,却迥然而异,第一句强调“不是别人,而是他经常迟到”。如果把这句子以英文翻译为:“He often comes late.”虽然它表达了原句的基本意思,但是,它没有着重指出“他”。在这种情形下,我们可用这种强调的句型:“It is……that(或who)……”,即:“It is he that often comes late.”在用法上,介于it is及that之间的字,可能是名词、代名词或副词,也可能是片语(phrase)或从句(即附属子句)(subordinate clause),都是用来表示强调的语气。

翻来译去多尴尬(二)

11.给他当二把手我看也值得,他太能干了。【中式译文】I feel it worth being a second hand to him.He is socapable.【地道英语】Ifeelitworthbeingasecondfiddletohim.Heissocapable.【背景知识】英语的secondhand作名词指“中间人”、“旧货”或“助手工人”,而汉语的“二把手”是“副手”,即“第二负责人”的意思,所以二者不是一回事。Play secondfiddle则源于管弦乐队中第一提琴手(firstviolin)不在的时候由第二提琴手负责,并被人们引申为“当主要领导人的副手”,也就是我们所说的“当二把手”。由此,不难猜出“当一把手”译成英语…
