A Model of Translations

This paper attempts to model translations from one language intoanother. Book markets are an integral part of the cultural life of anation, and new ideas on political, social and cultural aspects arespread by means of books. It is a fact, however, that linguisticbarriers will often prevent a book from reaching a mass audience unlessit is translated. But the mechanism involved in translations has notbeen adequately described. A model is presented here in three steps: Thefirst step is to determine the number of new books in an economy. Thenext step is to determine the propensity to import translated works fromother countries. The final step is to determine from which language thetranslation will originate. This provides a basis for judging thecultural affinity between nations.

Multilingual modeling of cross-lingual spelling variants

Technical term translations are important for cross-lingual information retrieval. In many languages, new technical terms have a common origin rendered with different spelling of the underlying sounds, also known as cross-lingual spelling variants (CLSV). To find the best CLSV in a text database index, we contribute a formulation of the problem in a probabilistic framework, and implement this with an instance of the general edit distance using weighted finite-state transducers. Some training data is required when estimating the costs for the general edit distance. We demonstrate that after some basic training our new multilingual model is robust and requires little or no adaptation for covering additional languages, as the model takes advantage of language independent transliteration patterns. We train the model with medical terms in seven languages and test it with terms from varied domains in six languages. Two test languages are not in the training data. Against a large text database index, we achieve 64–78 % precision at the point of 100% recall. This is a relative improvement of 22% on the simple edit distance.     

从佛经材料看中古汉语之“见V”结构

中古汉语中“见V”结构的使用情况十分复杂。一方面,上承上古时期的被动式“见V”结构被继续保留、使用;另一方面,新产生的非被动式“见V”结构日趋繁荣。佛经献是研究中古汉语不可多得的宝贵材料。章以佛经材料为主要研究对象,希望新的材料可以为此论题提供新的研究视角。     

《荒原》七个中译本中的宗教典故翻译

考察了艾略特《荒原》七个中译本中的宗族典故翻译,发现七个译本中的宗教典故翻译不同程度地存在着“望文生译”、混译和不译的问题,导致“文化传真”的失败和“读者接受”的困难;探究了这些问题出现的原因在于译者的翻译态度和方法,讨论了文学作品中宗教典故翻译的一般性原则与策略。     

《金色从来不常驻》三个中译本的对比赏析

罗伯特.李.弗罗斯特是美国二十世纪最重要的诗人,他的诗作以语言朴素、立意深邃而著称。短诗《金色从来不常驻》是弗罗斯特的一首典型的富有哲理的格律诗,表达了美好事物不长在的叹惋之情。这首诗最具特色的一点是语言和韵律结合之巧妙,这也是诗歌翻译的难点。三个中译本分别出自翻译界颇有威望的著名学者朱墨和翻译家曹明伦和方平之笔,而且各译本所用的译法不尽相同。对比研究这三个中译本在韵律节奏和措辞方面的翻译手段,旨在探讨英语格律诗汉译的策略,从而为诗歌翻译批评事业奉献一份微薄之力。     

浅析唐诗《春望》中的复义:五种英译比较

杜甫名诗《春望》五种英译文的比较研究主要以新批评派的细读法和燕卜荪的复义理论为参照,在细读和分析了诗中的词汇和语法复义的基础上进行,研究结果表明五种英译文均部分地再现了原诗作中的复义。

视域融合视角下的中医多元翻译

中医英译中存在的多元翻译现象是一个引人关注的问题。从视域融合视角对中医英译过程的分析表明,中医文本的特殊视域及不同背景译者的视域经过第一次视域融合后会产生不同的新视域。由于对译文读者视域的不同理解,译者会采取不同的方法和策略翻译新视域,由此产生不同的译文。此外,文化因素、译者语言水平等都会造成译文差异。     

维特·宾纳英译唐诗《玉山诗集》及其仿中国诗研究

美国20世纪著名诗人翻译家维特·宾纳翻译的《玉山诗集》是《唐诗三百首》在英语世界的第一部英译单行本。宾纳在“散体”译诗思想的指导下,以独特的方式传译了唐诗的情感、语言风格和音乐性。宾纳创作的诗歌折射出他丰富的唐诗翻译体验,显现出唐诗意象、语言等“汉诗风尚”,是著名的“仿中国诗”。《玉山诗集》与仿中国诗为宾纳在英语诗坛赢得了盛誉,促进了美国现代诗歌的发展。
