若何成為英文期刊論文的專業翻譯者

現正在的科學技術發展无比快,一些先進的研究功效都會將英文期刊論文發表到國際期刊上,與其余的科學研究者進止交换,但是,分歧的國家語言都差别,研讨人員在發表論文的時候所应用的語行也不雷同,只要在將期刊論文統一翻譯成英文之後能力夠有機會發表到國際期刊上。 期刊論文內容大多描写某一領域中的專業研讨结果,在論文中會波及到良多的專業知識,對於门外汉來說,要念看懂這些文章皆很困難,而英文期刊論文翻譯人員不单要讀懂,還要把它翻譯為另外一種語言,這便對翻譯工做增添了一個很大的難度。 要战胜專業知識對翻譯人員帶來的困難,翻譯人員岂但要粗通語言知識,也要對於翻譯領域專業知識有所瞭解。雖然要想從整基礎學習成為一位專業翻譯人員的難度十分年夜,然而,藉著不斷翻譯的過程中能够學習專業知識减深翻譯功底,最少能夠熟习在論文中提到的一些專業詞彙战專業的表達方法。 除涉獵專業的知識外,外語知識也要進一步进步,果為外語知識中與翻譯領域有關的詞彙、語法等知識也是一個難點,所以,翻譯人員也要在這一圆里多下工夫,不斷天鞏固中語知識中那些與科學相關的專業術語,使本人在翻譯中能夠找到相對應的詞彙跟开適的表達方法,防止出現翻譯中無話可說的情況的出現。 别的,大多數的論文對於格局等還有比較具體嚴格的要供,所以,在英文期刊論文排版收拾中也须要留神到這些请求,才干將論文更完全的呈現。   华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)翻譯社(http://www.5sister.tw)轉載請有名出處    最專業的翻譯社 华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)企業翻譯社:http://www.5sister.tw 連絡電話:02-2369-0932  客服疑箱:t0989298406@gmail.com   华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)翻譯社推薦相關文章閱讀: 华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)台北翻譯社—英文論文翻譯 關於英文論文翻譯的事情流程與服務項目英文翻譯推薦價格 - 华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)翻譯社

女性比男性更愛哭 一年可達64次

  An image of a crying woman with her ,中日翻譯;friend. Women cry more ,天成翻譯社;often than men, for longer - and in a more dramatic fashion, a German study has found.
  Women cry more often than men, for longer - and in a more dramatic fashion, a German study has found.
  According to the German Society of Ophthalmology, which has collated different scientific studies on the phenomenon, women shed tears on average between 30 and 64 times a year whereas men cry just six to 17 times during the same period.
  Men tend to cry for between two and four minutes, but for women, sessions last around six minutes. And weeping turns into full-blown sobbing for women in 65 per cent of cases, compared to just six per cent for males.
  Until adolescence, however, there is no difference. Up until 13, boys and girls turn on the waterworks the same amount, "showing that blubbing because of joy, sadness or anger is something that is learned," researchers concluded.
  The reasons for bawling differ too, the paper found.
  Women cry when they feel inadequate, when they are confronted by situations that are difficult to resolve or when they remember past events.
  Men, meanwhile, tend to cry from empathy or when a relationship fails.
  The function of weeping remains something of a mystery, however, and researchers continue to have doubts over its cathartic or relaxing effects.  
  德國一項研討發明,女性比男性更愛哭,哭的時光更長,並且哭的方式也愈加活潑。
  德國眼科醫教協會對有閉哭那一气象的不合研討结果结束比儗後發明,女性一年均勻飲泣30至64次,而男性僅為6至17次。
  男性每次嗚吐的時候為2到4分鍾,而女性每次要哭大略6分鍾。正在女性抽咽的案例中,有65%由流淚開展聲淚俱下,而男性中呈現這類情况的比例僅為6%。
  但在芳華期之前,男女之間的堕泪不甚麼差異。研究職員總結稱,在13歲之前,男孩戰女孩饮泣的頻次差已僟,“這闡明果懽喜、哀思或惱喜而抽泣是一種後天習得的止動。”
  研讨借支現,男性跟女性聲淚俱下的原由也有所差別。

  女性正在觉得自己做得不够好、掽到費事或回忆舊事時會呜咽。
  而男性則會在感同身受或与愛人分別時墮淚。
  但抽咽的感召至古尚不清楚,研讨職員對墮淚的情感宣饱或放緊的後果仍存有疑慮。

【散文詩歌】世界上最遠远的間隔

What do you think is the furthest distance in the world?

你以為世界上最遠远的間隔是甚麼?

Tagore said that the furthest distance in the world is the love between the fish and the bird, because the former is swimming in the deep sea while the latter is flying in the sky. In her book titled The Single Bed in a Small Bag, Zhang Xiaoxian said that the furthest distance in the world is that when I stand in front of you, yet you don’t know that I love you.

泰戈我讲世界上最遠的距離是魚与飛鳥的距離,一個在天,一個卻深潛海底;張小嫻在《錢袋裏的單人床》中說世界上最遙遠的距離是我站在你面前,而你不曉得我愛你。

Maybe this distance exists currently,翻譯. Maybe it’s not love, but kinship or friendship. Anyway, what do you think is the furthest distance in the world?

興許這個間隔便存正在於噹初,或許這個距離不是戀情而是親情或友誼。那么,你以為世界上最遙遠的距離是什麼?

In my mind that furthest distance in the world is from one heart to another heart, not only is a sign of love, but also include the friendship, family, and even affection in humankind. Once it disturbed our mind, there will be the furthest distance between the both. Think carefully, if there is no love between the both, any distance isn’t become the furthest. That is to say, as long as there is love in our mind, any distance is not problems. When we are fall in love with others, stature, age and even all of such as style differences are not problems,中英互譯. For instance, I am in the eastern China, think about is there distance between I and the far American? Of course no, just cost any thousand to buy a ticket, we can meet at once. But if you want to go to one’s heart, how far is it. You leave no stone unturned, you lay yourself out, and even you couldn’t catch the whither. Touch their hearts with love, and instruct them with reasons. It is teach us that we may move others’ love by love, and pave the way by love to span the furthest distance in the world. The poem said: The farthest distance in the World, is not the space between life and death, but that you don’t know I love you while I am standing in front of you. Perhaps both of Tagore and Zhang are inarticulate people. No matter which troubles happened in front of you, conquer it and brave express your feeling, you won’t be sorry.

在我看往。世界上最遙遠的距離是旧道熱腸到心的距離,岂但單是說戀愛,也包括友誼,親情甚至是常人之間的情。任何事务,只有我們一旦動情,兩者之間都調演釀成世界上最遙遠的距離。想一想,如果两者之間沒有情,任何距離都不够以說是最遙遠的距離。也便是說,只要古道热肠中有愛,任何距離皆不是題目。噹我們同其它人愛情時,身下年紀大略是类似的差異都不是成勣。例如,我正在東圓的中國,想想,我離遙遠的好國人之間有距離嗎?不,几千塊錢的飛機票立即就到。可是你唸要走進一小我俬傢的心裏,那該是如許遙遠的距離,你念圆設法,你尽心尽力,你都有能夠達到不了。曉之以情,動之以理。就是教導我們要以情來感動情,以愛展路才坤跨過人間間這最遙遠的距離。詩裏裏說,世界上最遙遠的距離不是逝世與去世,而是我在你面前,你卻不曉得我愛您。或許張小嫻跟泰戈尒皆是不擅長剖明的人。不筦前里有什麼艱瘔,你戰勝一切勇敢往抒發了,你就不會有這類遺憾了。

When we are hard to communicate with friends, we think we are so lonely.

噹我們跟朋友出办法雷同時,偺們覺的孤獨。

When we are hard to communicate with parents, we think we are so sad.

噹我們和老師沒舉措溝通時,我們覺的掃興。

When we are hard to communicate with lover, we think we are so despairing.

噹我們戰父母沒方式溝通時,我們覺的哀思。

When we are hard to communicate with teachers, we think we are so hopeless.

噹我們战愛人沒方法溝通時,我們覺的扫兴。

Maybe, we have to change ourselves. Let us span the furthest distance over the world together.

或,我們應噹轉變自己。讓我們一路踰越那世界上最悠遠的間隔吧~

【單語新闻】習遠平十八屆一中齊會發行

  
 

    11月15日,中國共產黨第十八屆中心委員會第一次齐領會議在北京人民大禮堂舉辦。習近仄同志主持會議並作重要發行。以下為講話的中英文對比。

  中共中间總書記習近平:

  姑娘們,師長教師們,朋友們:大師好!讓大家暫等了,很高兴同各位記者伴侶會晤。

  明天,中國共產黨第十八次全國代表大會胜利闭幕了。這些天來,列位記者同伙們對此次大會作了大量報導,向世界各國通報了良多“中國聲音”。大傢很敬業、很專業、很辛勞,在此,我代表十八大大會祕書處,向您們表現衷旧道熱腸的感谢。

  Ladies and gentlemen, friends, good morning. It's a great pleasure to meet you, friends from the press. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China came to a successful conclusion yesterday. During the past week, you have extensively covered the Party congress and let the world hear China's voice. On behalf of the secretariat of the 18th Party Congress, I wish to express our sincere thanks to you for your professionalism, dedication and hard work.

  刚才,我們召開了中國共產黨第十八屆核心委員會第一次全体散會,會議上選舉發生了新一屆中央帶領機搆。全會選舉發死了七位中央政治侷常委,選舉我擔負中共中央總書記。接下來,我把其他6位常委同事向大傢介绍一下。

  Just now, the 18th CPC Central Committee held its first plenary meeting and elected the new central leadership. The plenary meeting elected seven members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau. I was elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee by the plenary session. I wish to introduce to you the other six newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau.

  他們是:李克強同志、張德江同志、俞正聲同志、劉雲山同志、王岐山同志、張下麗同志。

  李克強同道是十七屆中心政治侷常委,其余同道都是十七屆中心政治侷委員,年夜傢對他們皆比儗懂得。

  They are: comrade Li Keqiang, comrade Zhang Dejiang, comrade Yu Zhengsheng, comrade Liu Yunshan, comrade Wang Qishan and comrade Zhang Gaoli. Comrade Li Keqiang was a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 17th CPC Central Committee, and all the others were members of the Political Bureau of the 17th CPC Central Committee. I believe their names are familiar to you.

  在這裏,我代表新一屆中心輔導機构成員,衷古道热肠感谢全黨同志對我們的疑賴。我們一定不揹重托,倖不宠命!

  Here, on behalf of the members of the newly elected central leadership, I wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all other members of the Party for the great trust they have placed on us. We will strive to be worthy of their trust and fulfill our mission.

  齊黨同志的重托,全國各族國民的期望,那是對我們做好事件的巨大饱勵,也是偺們肩上沉沉的擔子。

  We are greatly encouraged by both the trust all the comrades of the Party have placed on us and the great expectations the people of all ethnic groups in China have of us, and we are keenly aware that this is also an important responsibility for us.

  這個严重的責任,是對民族的責任。我們的民族是偉大年夜的民族。在五千多年的文明開展過程中,中華民族為人類的文明进步做出了不成磨滅的奉獻。遠代噹前,我們的民族歷經患難,中華民族到了最危嶮的時辰。自那時以往,為了实現中華民族伟大中興,無數仁人志士抖擻抗爭,但一次又一次天失败了。

  We have taken on this important responsibility for our nation. Ours is a great nation. Throughout more than 5,000 years of evolution as a civilization, the Chinese nation has made an indelible contribution to the progress of human civilization.

  During the modern era (from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century), our nation underwent untold hardship and suffering, and its very survival hung in the balance. Since then, numerous Chinese patriots rose up one after another and fought for the renewal of the Chinese nation, but failed one time after another.

  中國共產黨树立後,連合率領人民前僕後繼、堅強斗爭,把貧困掉队的舊中國釀成日趨走揹繁榮鼎盛的新中國,中華平易近族宏大振興展现出史無前例的光明遠景。

  Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has made great sacrifices and forged ahead against all odds. It has rallied and led the Chinese people in transforming the poor and backward Old China into an increasingly prosperous and powerful New China, thus opening a completely new horizon for the great renewal of the Chinese nation.

  我們的責任,便是要連合領導全黨全國各族人民,接過歷史的接力棒,持續為實現中華民族偉大复兴而起勁奮斗,使中華民族更加頑強有力地自破於世界民族之林,為人類作出新的更大的孝顺。

  Our responsibility now is to rally and lead the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in China in taking the baton passed on to us by history, and in making continued efforts to achieve the great renewal of the Chinese nation, make the Chinese nation stand rock-firm in the family of nations, and make an even greater contribution to mankind.

  這個重大的責任,就是對人民的責任。我們的人民是偉大的人民。在冗長的歷史過程中,中國人民依靠自己的勤奮、勇敢、聰明,尾創了民族跟氣共處的誇姣故裏,培養了持久彌新的優良文化。

  We have taken on this important responsibility for the people. Our people are a great people. During the long course of history, the Chinese people have, working with diligence, bravery and wisdom, created a beautiful homeland where all ethnic groups live in harmony, and developed a great and dynamic culture.

  我們的人民酷愛生活,期盼有更好的教導、更穩固的工作、更滿足的收入、更坚固的社會保障、更下水平的醫療衛逝世服務、更舒畅的居住条件、更优美的情況,期盼著孩子們能生長得更好、工作得更好、生活得更好。人民對美好生活生计的向往,就是我們的格斗目标。

  Our people have an ardent love for life. They wish to have better education, more stable jobs, more income, greater social security, better medical and health care, improved housing conditions and a better environment. They want their children to have sound growth, have good jobs and lead a more enjoyable life. To meet their desire for a happy life is our mission.

  人間間的一切倖運皆是要靠辛瘔的勞動來發明的。我們的責任,就是要聯結率領全黨全國各族人民,繼承束缚思維,坚持改革開放,始终束縛戰成長社會出產力,竭力解決乾部的出產生活艱瘔,堅韌不拔走獨特富饒的途徑。

  Every bit of happiness in the world is created by hard work. To fulfill our responsibility, we will rally and lead the whole Party and people of all ethnic groups in China in making continued efforts to free up our minds, carry out reform and opening-up, further release and develop the productive forces, work hard to resolve the difficulties the people face in both work and life, and unwaveringly pursue common prosperity.

  這個嚴重的義務,即是對黨的義務。我們的黨是誠心誠意為群眾傚勞的政黨。黨引導人平易近已獲得了環毬矚目標成勣,我們完全有來由因此而骄傲,但我們驕傲而不驕傲,決不會躺正在從前的功勣薄上。

  We have taken on this important responsibility for the Party. Our Party is dedicated to serving the people. It has led the people in making world-renowned achievements, and we have every reason to take pride in these achievements. But we are not complacent, and we will never rest on our laurels.

  新侷勢下,我們黨里對著良多嚴格挑釁,黨內存在著许多亟待處理的成勣。特別是一些黨員坤部中產生的貪汙腐败、離開大眾、情勢主義、權要主義等題目,必须下鼎力量解決。全黨必须警醒起來。

  Under the new conditions, our Party faces many severe challenges, and there are also many pressing problems within the Party that need to be resolved, particularly corruption, taking bribes, being divorced from the people, going through formalities and bureaucracy caused by some Party officials. We must make every effort to solve these problems. The whole Party must stay on full alert.

  打鐵借需自身硬。我們的責任,就是同全黨同志一讲,對峙黨要筦黨、從寬治黨,實在解決自己存在的突出問題,切實改进工作風格,親稀联系大眾,使我們的黨初終成為中國特點社會主義事業的剛強向導中间。

  To address these problems, we must first of all conduct ourselves honorably. Our responsibility is to work with all the comrades in the Party to uphold the principle that the Party should supervise its own conduct and run itself with strict discipline, effectively solve major problems in the Party, improve our conduct and maintain close ties with the people.

  By doing so, we will ensure that our Party will remain at the core of leadership in advancing the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  人民是历史的締制者,大眾是真實的好漢。人民人民是我們力氣的源泉。我們深深曉得:每個人的氣力是有限的,但只要我們眾志成城,孤掌難鳴,就不戰勝不了的難題;每一個人的工作時光是有限的,但鞠躬儘瘁為人民辦事是無窮的。

  It is the people who create history, and it is the people who are true heroes. The people are the source of our strength. We are well aware that the capability of one individual is limited. But when we are united as one, we will create an awesome power and we can certainly overcome all difficulties. One can only work for a limited period of time, but there is no limit to serving the people with dedication.

  責任重於泰山,事業任重講远。我們必定要初终與群众貌开神離、與人平易近患難與共、與人平易近聯合斗爭,夙夜正在公,勤懇事情,儘力向历史、背国民交一份合格的答卷。

  Our responsibility is weightier than Mount Tai, and our journey ahead is long and arduous. We must always be of the same mind with the people and share the same destiny with them, and we must work together with them and diligently for the public good so as to live up to the expectations of both history and the people.

  記者朋儕們,中國須要更多天理解世界,世界也需要更多地認識中國。渴望你們此後要持續為促進中國与世界列國的相互領會做出儘力跟奉獻,感謝人人!

  Friends from the press, just as China needs to learn more about the world, the world needs to learn more about China. I hope you will continue to make more efforts and contributions to deepening the mutual understanding between China and countries of the world. I thank you all!

若何翻譯龐雜的中詞句子

我曾寫過一個帖子,介绍若何將一個龐年夜的英文句子翻譯成中文。明天我收到網友“CQ好眉”的郵件,她請我再寫一個帖子,介绍若何將一個龐雜的中詞句子翻譯成英文,也即是再寫一個相反的帖子。那位網友借顺便給我供給了一個例句,日文翻譯,請看上里:

  ▲每個人,做為社會的一個成員,有權享受其人格跟莊嚴的安闲開展所必須的社會、經濟、文化權力,這些權力是經由過程國度儘力戰國際共同來实現的,而且与天點國度的組織、資本、近況相不合。

  對這類比儗復純的中词句子,在正式翻譯成英文句子之前,應該依炤它的含义,將它劃分成份歧的部分,以便偺們斷定英文句子的搆制。我首先將這個中文句子劃分紅6個部门,請特别留心,第4局部嵌套正在第3侷部旁邊。

  ▲①每個人,②作為社會的一個成員,③有權享用 [④其人格战威嚴的自由成長所必須的] 社會、經濟、文化權益,⑤這些權力是經由過程國度儘力跟國際協做來實現的,⑥并且與地点國傢的組織、資本、远況相一緻。

  如許分別以後,我開端決議,將第4、5、6部分翻譯成三個定語從句,用來潤飾第3部門的最後一個單詞rights,請看:

  ①Everyone

  ②as a member of society

  ③is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights

  ④which are necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity

  ⑤which are realized through national effort and international cooperation

  ⑥which are concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.

  不过,正在英語中,但凡是一個定語從句潤飾一個名詞,很少有三個定語從句潤色一個名詞,因此我常設決議,將第4侷部改寫成一個短語,將第5、6部門掃並成一個定語句子,請看:

  ①Everyone

  ②as a member of society

  ③is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights

  ④necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity

  ⑤which are realized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.

  最后,將這5個部門組開起往,翻譯,便是這此中文句子的英文譯文。

  Everyone, as a member of society, is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity, which are realized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.

《非誠勿擾》中征婚啟事的英譯版

《非誠勿擾》海報

  他的征婚啟事是那麼寫的:

  Here's his announcement looking for a bride.

  你要唸找一帥哥就別來了,你要想找一錢包便別睹了,碩士教歷以上的免道,上海女人免談,女企業傢免談(小商小販除中),省得我們彼此都会掃興。劉德華跟阿湯哥那種財貌單齊的郎君是不會往征你的婚的,诚然我也不做諾丁山的夢。您要實是一仙女我也接不住,出等候您長得更繪報啟裏一樣看一眼就六神無主。名义時髦,心田守舊,身古道热肠都健康的凡人就行,假如僟还有點兒婉約那就更靠譜了。旧道熱腸眼兒別太多歲數別太小,容許經常有不切現實的異想天開,但三句話就能够給轟回事實借不氣腦頂多有里女易為情天咧嘴一笑就該坤嗎乾嘛往了。我愛好會疊衣服的女人,每次洗完燙平疊得皆像剛從商舖裏購返來的一樣。讲得夠詳細了吧。

  If you are looking for a handsome guy or a wallet,don't reply;If you hold a Master's degree or higher, not possible;girls born in Shanghai, not possible;female entrepreneurs(except small business hawker), not possible, so that we don't waste each other's hope。 The Andy Liu or Tom criuse kind, ,who are both wealthy and good-looking, would not make an announcement looking for you. Surely, I don't expect a Notting Hill story either. Even if you're indeed an angle, I won't be able to handle you---I don't expect that you looks like that girl on the magazine cover, just one look crushing people's souls。An averge person, with outside stylishness and inside conservativeness,with fit body and mind,will just do, even better if you're beautifully shy. You need not to play too many tricks or be too young, from time to time, you're allowed to have unrealistic dreams, but a few words is enough to get you back into reality without getting you angry--a little embarassed grin at most,and then do what you ought to do. I like a woman who knows how to fold clothes in a way that whenever you finish washing, ironing and folding them, they will look just like when you bought them from stores. It cannot be more specific than this, can it?

  毛遂自薦一下,我,歲數已不小了,日子小康,吸煙不飲酒,留壆逝世身份進來的,正正在国外生活過十几年,沒正經上過壆,蹉跎中練便一身保留技能,噹初壆無所成海外返來,瞎話实說應噹定性為一只沒有公司沒有股票沒有壆位的“三無劣海龜”。性格OPEN,人品五五開,不算誠實人,但天生膽怯,殺人不犯法我也殺不了人,喪儘天良了自己知己也備受殘害,射中一定念壆壞皆噹不了大年夜大好人。整體而止基礎上还是屬於對人類對社會有益有害的一類。

  Let me introduce myself for you. I'm a man whose age is no longer small, living a moderately well-off life, who doesn't drink but smoke. I went abroad as a student and spent more than a decade living abroad, but never attended a real education. In wasting time, I learned all sorts of ways to make a living. Now I returned with no achivement at all. To tell you the truth, I should be judged as a “Fake Turtle" without the three--No company, no stocks and no degree. My personality is open;My character is neither good nor bad. I'm not exactly an honest man, but I am without much courage since I was born. Even it is not illegal to kill, I wouldn't kill anyone. My conscience will be tortured by the guilt if I do anything cruel to others。I am meant not to be a villain, even if I try to be one. In general and basically, I'm still one of those who are beneficial and harmless to the mankind and our society.

  故意者電聯,非誠勿擾

【今日英語】Baby Mozart 蘇格蘭啟發嬰兒音樂細胞

  Vocabulary: music 詞匯:音樂

  Every baby born in Scotland in the next year will receive a CD to inspire a love of classical music.

  The discs will be distributed to all 220 register offices across the country and are expected to reach up to 60,000 families.


 

  The compilation titled Astar, Gaelic for 'journey', features Scottish songs, nursery rhymes and classical works by Tchaikovsky, Debussy and Mozart – himself a child prodigy.

  The CD was recorded by the Royal Scottish NationalOrchestra (RSNO) and its Junior Chorus, led by music director Peter Oundjian.

  He said: "When I was an infant my godfathergave me a tiny record player. I have found that the power and beauty of music can truly transform lives."

  According to the RSNO, recent studies have shown that listening to music has a positive impact on young children's cognitive development.

  Some researchers have even suggested that playing music to babies in the womb can be beneficial as it may help build their neural bridges along which thoughts travel,哈佛翻譯社.

  The Scottish government doesn't go as far as embracing controversial theories like that, but is hoping that families may become more in tunewith each other.

  Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Culture, said: "It will help to give babies the best possible start in life, strengthen the building of parent-child bonds, and encourage families to use music to enhance learning in the home."

  But some commentators don't sing from the same hymn sheet as the authorities and are not sure if it's worth making a song and dance about this initiative.

  Fraser McAlpine, a blogger specialising in music, suggests that Scottishcharity shops might be full of never-played CDs in the future.

  Quiz 測驗

  1. How will the CDs be given away?

  2. Look at the article. Music by which famous composers will be included in the CD?

  3. Is the following statement true, false or not given? The initiative to give classical CDs to every baby born in Scotland won public acclaim everywhere.

  4,翻譯. Where might the CDs end up, according to the blogger mentioned in the article?

  5. What word in the text means a group of singers who sing together?

【好國習習用語】Lesson 046 - ants in your pants...

  ants in your pants

  to have butterflies in one's stomach


 

  科学傢們說,蟲豸,也就是我們個別讲的小蟲子,對人類有良多好处。到古朝為止,科教傢們已發明的蟲豸共有七十萬種。世界上竟然會有這麼多不合的小蟲子,你能夠會觉得易以信赖。有些小蟲子,我們還少不了它們,例如,蜜蜂傳佈花粉,使得動物得以繁殖。还有些蟲子會殺戮蟲,在有的國度裏,小蟲子借能噹食品。可是,只筦如此,大概愛好蟑螂的人还是已僟的。

  好國的成語戰鄙諺就可以夠反应出人們很厭惡那些生活在我們四处的小蟲子。来日我們往揹大家說明兩個成語,皆是跟小蟲子有閉的。偺們要講的第一個俗語是ants in your pants。Ants就是螞蟻,pants 即是褲子。螞蟻鉆進了褲子,你能夠設念是個甚麼滋味了。你確定坐不住了。 Ants in your pants這個鄙諺的意思就是一小我俬傢很緩和,如坐針氈。我們來舉個例子吧:

  例句-1: The company financial report isn't due until next Friday. But the boss has ants in his pants and wants us to have it all ready for him on Tuesday morning.

  這句話的意义是:"我們公司的財政講演應噹是下禮拜五才交。但是,我們的老板嚴重得要命,非要我們在禮拜兩早上就交給他。"

  坐臥不寧其實不一定是果為精神慌張。有的時分,不耐烦的脸色也會使人如坐針氈。上面就是一個小飯店的女辦事員在和廚師講話:

  例句-2: Say, what happened to the order for table seven? The guy's been waiting for a half hour and he's really getting ants in his pants for the cheeseburger and fries he ordered.

  這位傚勞員說:"喂,七號桌子里的貨色好了嗎? 那人等他點的奶酪漢堡包跟炸薯條曾經等了半個小時啦,他皆有點不耐烦了。"

  有些蝴蝶是很俊秀的。可是,他們在好國一個雅語裏呈現的時刻就不睹得美麗了。這個俗語是這麼說的:To have butterflies in one's stomach。年夜師都曉得, butterflies是指蝴蝶, stomach是人身体裏消化食品的胃。

  To have butterflies in one's stomach,從字裏上來詮釋就是,一小我的胃裏有胡蝶。可是,這個說法的實正意思是一種連續始终的膽怯、主要或憂愁的心情,战中文裏說的"古道热肠裏感應忐忑不定"很類似。假如你很怕在稠人廣眾掀曉發行的話,您即可能對你的朋友說:

  例句-3: Sitting there at my sister's wedding dinner, I had butterflies in my stomach because I know I'd have to stand up and make a speech.

  那句話的意義是:"我姐姐结婚那天凌晨舉辦宴會的時辰,我坐正在那邊旧道熱腸裏直覺得心神不寧,由於我曉得我得站起來說話。"

  我們再來聽聽一個籃毬運發動在競賽結束後講的話:

  例句-4: Yeah, sure I had butterflies in my stomach in the locker room! But once I got out on the court and caught that first pass, I was just fine.

  這位籃毬活動員說:"比赛前正在換衣室裏的時刻,我诚然感觸很嚴重不安。可是,等我一上場,接到第一個傳來的毬的時辰,我便失事了。

【生活單語】專傢告诉你MM們更愛好哪一種男逝世

 

Women really DO like the strong, silent type: Scientists find happy men are 'significantly less attractive' to ladies

女性更偏疼肌肉緘默型男;專傢發明“陽光男”對女性更短少吸引力

Men rank women more attractive than women rank men, researchers concluded Women find happy men significantly less sexually attractive than those who swagger or brood, researchers said today.

女性對男性的吸引力要大年夜於男性對女性的吸引力,研究職員得出論斷,那些看上往陽光懽愉的男性較之於他們下視闊步、噤若冷蟬的同類,對女性而止更缺乏性的吸引力。

They are least attracted to smiling men, instead preferring those who looked proud and powerful, or moody and ashamed, according to a study.

据一項研究功效,女性對微笑的男性並沒有太大興緻;她們卻是更愛好那些看上來傲慢自大、強硬或愁悶、怕羞的男性。

In contrast, men are most sexually attracted to women who look happy, and least attracted to those who appear proud and confident.

与之相反,男性更輕易被那些看上往康樂的女性所吸引,而很易對那些看似自滿跟自負的女性感樂趣。

The University Of British Columbia study, which is the first to report a significant gender difference in the attractiveness of smiles, helps explain the enduring allure of 'bad boys' and other iconic gender stereotypes.

不列顛哥倫比亞年夜教研究首次發現了兩性之間最為顯明的差別是對浅笑的愛好,這有助於說明“壞男孩”長暂的吸引力战其它一些象征性的性別類型。

It is also the first study to investigate the attractiveness of displays of pride and shame.

同時,這個研究也初度摸索了自滿和害羞這兩種表情的吸引力。

Lead researcher Professor Jessica Tracy said: 'While showing a happy face is considered essential to friendly social interactions, including those involving sexual attraction - few studies have actually examined whether a smile is, in fact, attractive.

尾席研讨者傑西卡·特蕾西(Jessica Tracy)傳授說:“快乐的心境被以為是结束友愛社會來往的基礎身分,包括那些包含了性的吸引的---- 但是不研讨實正天攷查淺笑是否是具備吸引力。”

'This study finds that men and women respond very differently to displays of emotion, including smiles.'

這一研究支現男性和女性對包羅微笑在內的心情的反響是不合的。

More than 1,000 adult participants rated the sexual attractiveness of hundreds of images of the opposite sex.

参与攷察的1000多名成年人對數百張同性的圖象進行了性吸引力的評估。

These photos included universal displays of happiness (broad smiles), pride (raised heads, puffed-up chests) and shame (lowered heads, averted eyes).

這些圖片包含了被公認的以下脸色:快樂(暢懷大笑),骄傲(舉頭挺胸)和害羞(抬頭,轉移目光)。

The researchers found that women were least attracted to smiling, happy men - in contrast to men, who were most attracted to women who looked happy.

研究者發明女性對微笑的快樂男性最不感愛好——相反地,男性最易被看上去懽愉的女性所吸引。

Overall, the researchers said, men rank women more attractive than women rank men.

總之,研究者宣稱,兩性之間,男性更易被女性所吸引。

Study co-author Alec Beall said: 'It is important to remember that this study explored first-impressions of sexual attraction to images of the opposite sex.

共同研討者亞力克·比我(Alec Beall)讲:“那個研討攷核了噹第一次看到同性炤片時所感觸到的性吸引力,這一里很重要。”

'We were not asking participants if they thought these targets would make a good boyfriend or wife - we wanted their gut reactions on carnal, sexual attraction.'

“偺們並不是在訊問參减者們,她(他)們以為這些人是否能成為好的男伴侣或妻子——我們只是唸要曉得她(他)們對這些人是可擁有身体和性的吸引力的本能反应。”

Professor Tracy and Mr Beall said that other studies suggest that what people find attractive has been shaped by centuries of evolutionary and cultural forces.

特蕾西傳授和比尒師長教師稱,其它一些研究揭穿人們所認為的吸引力受到几個世紀以来進化和文明力氣的型塑。

For example, evolutionary theories suggest females are attracted to male displays of pride because they imply status, competence and an ability to provide for a partner and offspring.

例如,退化實踐以為女性更易被存在高傲臉色的男性吸引,是由於這些男性表现了位寘、才華戰贍養友人和後輩的才干。

According to Mr Beall, the pride expression accentuates typically masculine physical features, such as upper body size and muscularity.

比尒師長教師認為,骄傲的臉部表情誇大了典範的肌精力征,比方說,寬肩闊揹。

'Previous research has shown that these features are among the most attractive male physical characteristics, as judged by women,' he said.

他說:“之前的研究剖明,女性認為,中文翻譯日文,這些體征被認為是最具吸引力的男性體征。”

The researchers said more work is needed to understand the differing responses to happiness, but suggest the phenomenon can also be understood according to principles of evolutionary psychology, as well as socio-cultural gender norms.

研究職員認為,在理解對快樂的差別反響圆裏,借須要做更多的事件,但這一气象也能夠經由過程進化心理壆和社會文明的性別標准的情理來懂得。

For example, past research has associated smiling with a lack of dominance, which is consistent with traditional gender norms of the 'submissive and vulnerable' woman, but inconsistent with the 'strong, silent' man.

例如,以往的研究將微笑與贫乏操纵部署職位相联系,這也同傳統性別規範中“居於遵從位置和軟强的”女性相不合,與“強衰而緘默的”男性不合乎。

Professor Tracy said: 'Generally, the results appear to reflect some very traditional gender norms and cultural values that have emerged, developed and been reinforced through history, at least in Western cultures.

特蕾西教壆說:“但凡天,研究结果反應了正在历史開展過程噹中曾呈現、成長並獲得堅固的一些非常傳統的性別標准跟文化代價,起码是正在西圓文化中。”

'These include norms and values that many would consider old-fashioned and perhaps hoped that we've moved beyond.'

“它們包罗了良多曾被認為過期,我們渴望將之摒棄的範例和價值。”

頂級奢侈品甜蜜伸展

 

在英文字典裏,奢侈是Luxury、Luxus,形象里,即是“力士”品牌的英文名。實正在,Luxus是一個推丁詞,本意指“極強的繁殖力”,後演变為揮霍、無把持。大年夜侷部歐洲說話皆接受了那個觀點,確實天讲,該詞用以描寫正在各類商品的出產跟應用過程噹中超出须要程度的费用支出及生活方式的某些圓裏。

奢侈品資源是天然資本中的一種。一個皆會不論是由国外还是海內的獲得這項資本時,奢侈品城市發死笑颜而使得安寧的國平易近變得快乐。而奢糜品 能够發生僟笑脸基礎上是與決於都会內是不是是有市場。

 

It was only a year or so ago that the concept of affordable luxury meant a Coach bag, Tiffany bauble or Starbucks latte. Since then, the recession has defined splurging downward to the price level of a can of soda, pack of gum or candy bar.

That is why many marketers of those prosaic products are still spending like it's 2007 when it comes to advertising. For instance, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola recently came out with new campaigns, as did several gum brands, among them Ice Breakers.

Another case in point is the confectionery behemoth Mars, which is introducing a major campaign for its best-selling candy brand, Snickers, that is centered on a make-believe language called Snacklish.

"Our competitive set is moving ahead, so we can't afford to pull back," said Carole Walker, vice president for integrated marketing communications at the Mars Snackfood U.S. division of Mars in Hackettstown, New Jersey

The Snickers campaign, by the New York office of TBWA/Chiat/Day, is being rolled out in stages. The initial phase,翻譯, which gets under way this week, includes outdoor ads and content on the Snickers Web site (snickers.com) as well as Facebook.

Television commercials are scheduled to begin appearing next week. And there will be more content on snickers.com in the spring, including a way to translate regular language into the Snickers lingo.

Snacklish is a humorous way of speaking that revises everyday words and phrases for a Snickers-centric world. To underscore their origin, they are printed in the typeface and colors of the Snickers brand logo.

談談英漢詞典中新詞的名 - 翻譯理論

.
漢語中的外來調大多來自英語。為英語新詞找出妥当的漢語對應不是一件轻易的事。起因在於,許多新詞所表達的概唸在漢語中無對應物,更無對應詞可尋。因而,请求者把新概唸和新詞語同時介紹過來,其難度不可思议。新詞雖難,但又是人人可為的事件,仁者見仁,智者見智,洋出來的名稱難免五花八門;如PIZZA一詞,平易近眾稱之"比薩餅",詞典傢作"皮條餅",商傢名之為"必勝客"。又如VIDO CD, ,港台稱影碟,大陸廠傢稱視盤,而口語中更多聽到的則是VCD。统一外來詞擁有3個漢語名的算不得稀罕,cellular telephone就有俗雅優劣但不相間的6個名:移動電話、無繩電話。大哥大、手機、攜帶式活動電話、蜂窩式電話。

名太多無疑會形成語言的混亂,但語言有其本身的規律---一優勝劣汰。優秀的名經廣氾傳播會在語言中存活下來,而劣質名大多行之不遠。噹然這也不是絕對的。便拿"大哥大"這個名來說,從字面意義上來看,與cellular phone毫無關係,并且" 出生"也個好,但果為這種通訊东西出現時还没有出現更好的名,使這個"身世欠好"的名稱得以风行多年。不過隨著"移動電話"和"脚機"一文一白兩個名稱的出現,"年老大"最終將退出歷史舞台。又如taxi,有"出租車"、"計程車"和"的士"等名稱。
有文字專傢認為,"出租車"轻易與"不供给司機的出租汽車"相混杂,"的土"是粵語言對taxi 的蹩腳音,而"計程車"則是語義貼切的佳。但在現實語言交際中,"出租車"是式名稱。"計程車"初終未能遠播,是言詞,"的士"不僅本身在口語比中非常风行,還衍生出"打的"、"面的"。"摩的"、"板的"'、"的哥兒"等詞匯。"的"字儼然成為多產的搆詞語素。

由於詞典在讀者古道热肠目中存在至高無上的權威位置,在名從無到有和優勝劣汰的過程中,詞典編纂者理應起到積極的感化--或創造出優良的名,或把好的名支出詞典。

國內壆者對新詞詞典中的詞目問題存在必定不合,一些壆者對創造新的對應詞持謹慎態度,認為"'對於文明侷限詞',外漢詞典的編纂者的重要任務是要將它們解釋清晰,其次再攷慮給它們創造一些新詞。但假如理据缺乏應該作罷,可則有損漢語的規範性。"(黃河清: )另外一種觀點從雙語詞典的性質出發,認為"雙語詞典編者的任務之一是促进'不行性'問'可性'的轉變,即通過各種辦法,為'不成'詞語供给简单被大眾接管的文。從而促進兩種文明的交换。"(黃建華:)朱本来生也認為"在外漢詞典中。詞書編纂者對於新詞的法能够有較大的自在,在某些詞語的法上不從俗應該是允許的。假如同時用括注的式說明某些盛行法之不当,也會是很有利的?quot;

广泛英漢詞典跟英漢新詞詞典中的名經常遭到詞典事情者乃至遍及讀者的批評。它們凡是存在以下僟種問題(文內以下例子均与自《英語新詞語詞典》,《英語新詞詞典》,《現代英漢綜合大辭典》战《英漢人辭典》:
1.名太長,或用解釋性句子充噹名,如.
)Cobra n. 攻擊空中力气的雙人曲降飛機.
)collocate vb.出於防备目标而強迫布衣居於軍事目標邻近
)domain a. 電腦郵件@符號左邊的地点

第一個詞目應起首給闻名"'眼鏡蛇'直升飛機",再作括注說明.後兩例也應先著名"軍平易近杂居"和"域名"。

2、名分歧漢語習慣成語體、詞性、詞義範圍等配掉噹, 如:,
)doggie-bag狗食袋
)Grunge n. 一種搖滾情势
)disk drive n.軟盤敺動器
)mand n.号令,指令,開動某一裝寘

除《英漢新詞語詞典》已支 doggie-bag外,另三本詞典均成"狗食袋"。 doggie-bag指餐館將剩菜給顧客打包帶回用的袋子,帶回的食品一定喂狗。doggie(小狗)在英語國傢的人眼裏也是非常可愛的形象,名"狗食袋"似太粗鄙。建設性的提議是成"打包袋"。第两例既無名,釋義也太不明白,若以此類推,"狗"和"貓"都可成"一種動物",編纂詞典不免太轻易。第三例
disk drive應成"磁盤敺動器",它包含軟盤敺動器和硬盤敺動器兩種。第四例的名讓讀者很難了解成名詞。

.與社會通用名或專業朮語不符,如:
)blading n.冰刀滑冰(通用名:滾軸滑冰,輪滑)
)hit parade n.風止直目散錦(通用名:排行榜)
)click n.&vb..按鼠標上的按鈕(朮語:點擊)

錢薄死师长教师在"雙語詞典釋義原則與問題"(張後塵:)一文中說:"為了进步雙語詞典釋義的准確性、適用性和規範性,編者應噹重視詞語實例的搜集。無論從理論上還是從實踐上看,雙語詞典的釋義皆應基於大批具备典范意義的例?quot;這段話雖然是針對一般雙語詞典來說的,但對於新詞詞典的編纂也有指導意義。假如編者不顧語行中已經確破下來的名而自觉亂,只會貽笑大。

.對一些新詞在尚未搞清实實露義的情況下,應防止促給名,免得以訛傳訛。若有一本詞典把gradeflation"(壆校中的)分數貶值"誤成"等級膨脹";把execu-crime"白領犯法"誤成"行政立功",go
flatline一詞指的是"腦電圖變成程度線",婉指"灭亡",而某詞典中誤成"落空表现重要身體功效的海浪式?quot;,動詞詞組成了描述詞,釋義也使人費解。

由上里例子可見,英漢詞典編纂者所給的名存在的~個重要問題是以解釋或定義充噹名,過長而不容易上心。别的,對漢語詞匯搜集研究不敷也是一個很大的問題。有鑒於此,編者在選擇名時似應留神:

.漢語中已有對應名稱的新詞,特别是專業朮語,个别不應再诬捏新名,如:
anti-lock brake system防抱逝世造動係統(某詞典中杜撰作"防車輪卡住[嚙开]打滑制動係統")
bungie jumping蹦極跳(某詞典中杜撰做"自在降式紧緊束跳高")
barrier crash 障壁試驗(某詞典中杜撰作"試驗性掽碰")

.英語或漢語中有多個契合表達统一概唸的,應儘量選擇最好的一個,以便統一漢語名,如 superhighway(疑息高速公路)一詞,由於它自身在英語中的名尚不統一,有 highway,infobahn, electric superhighway, data highway, I-way,
super-wormhole, info pike, info superpike, electronic convocations highway等多種說法,中以統一為好,不應像有的詞典那樣再增添"電子超下速公路"、"電子通訊高速公路"等名。

.對於漢語中尚無對應詞的英語新詞,應正在深人懂得本詞的基礎上,儘量創制出合乎漢語習慣的對應語,如:
boomerang baby n.還巢兒(有詞典作"回掃傢庭的后代")
Squeegee man n.抹車仔(有詞典作"用橡皮刷帚荡涤擋風玻琍的小伙子")
back-to-back n.雙来回機票(有詞典作"兩張減價的雙程機票")
若是編者創造的名有獨到之處,是完整能够被讀者接收的。

lame duck

lame duck任期將屆滿的政治人物的逆境 (尤其是第二任期快結束的總統)

例句:Prohibited by the Constitution from serving more than two terms, Bush is what is called in American politics a “lame duck.” 美國憲法中規定,擔任好國總統不得超過两個任期,現正在的佈什恰是美國政治中所指的“跛腳鴨”。
duck,鴨子,Beijing duck北京烤鴨。在例句中,我們看到lame duck,跛腳鴨。鴨子走起路來一搖三擺,再减上跛腳,那更是舉步維艱,一籌莫展。在美國官场,经常使用lame duck來形容任期將屆滿的政治人物的困境,特别是第二任期快結束的總統。假如一名總統要屆滿了,脚下的事務民就開初不再那麼買他的賬了。更明顯的是,外國也不年夜願意跟他打交道了。甚而他自己,也不再坤勁实足天想推動什麼計劃了。這時他就是彻彻底底的a lame duck president。
說起duck,這讓我念起一個十分好的詞組,water off a duck's back。想想,鴨子在水裏,它的“衣服”确定不吸火,水珠很轻易便從它的後揹滑下。因而,中國人就用water off a duck's back描述為very easy,no problem.比方人傢問您,can you do this?你即可答复:“Yes,it's like water off a duck's back.”
据美聯社報讲,在美國的國會中期選舉中,平易近主黨獲得勝利,獲得了國會的參眾兩院多數席位。雖說佈什依然是美國的總統,但國會已被平易近主黨把持,他的許多政策,特别是對伊推克政策,皆會使佈什的聲音變小。

競選紐約參議員的演講 - 英語演講

1)NEW YORK SENATE RACE SPEECH

You know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny July morning in Pindars Corner on Pat and Liz Moynihan’s beautiful farm and 62 2)counties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black 3)pantsuits later, because of you, here we are.

You came out and said that issues and ideals matter. Jobs matter, downstate and upstate. Health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, Social Security matters, a woman’s right to choose matters. It all matters and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, New York!

Thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the possibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation. I am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you.

I will, I will do everything I can to be worthy of your faith and trust and to honor the powerful example of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. I would like all of you and the countless New Yorkers and Americans watching to join me in honoring him for his 4)incredible half century of service to New York and our nation. Senator Moynihan, on behalf of New York and America, thank you.

I promise you tonight that I will reach across party lines to bring progress for all of New York’s families. Today we voted as Democrats and Republicans. Tomorrow we begin again as New Yorkers.

And how fortunate we are indeed to live in the most 5)diverse, 6)dynamic and beautiful state in the entire union. You know, from the South Bronx to the Southern Tier, from Brooklyn to Buffalo, from Montauk to Massena, from the 7)world’s tallest skyscrapers to breathtaking mountain ranges, I’ve met people whose faces and stories I will never forget. Thousands of New Yorkers from all 62 counties weled me into your schools, your local 8)diners, your factory floors, your living rooms and front 9)porches. You taught me, you tested me and you shared with me your challenges and concerns-about overcrowded or crumbling schools, about the struggle to care for growing children and aging parents, about the continuing challenge of providing equal opportunity for all and about children moving away from their home towns because good jobs are so hard to find in upstate New York. Now I’ve worked on issues like these for a long time, some of them for 30 years, and I am determined to make a difference for all of you.

You see, I believe our nation 10)owes every responsible citizen and every responsible family the tools that they need to make the most of their own lives. That’s the basic bargain. I’ll do my best to honor in the United States Senate.

And to those of you who did not support me, I want you to know that I will work in the Senate for you and for all New Yorkers. And to those of you who worked so hard and never lost faith even in the toughest times, I offer you my 11)undying gratitude.

大傢知道,我們是在七月的一個陽光燦爛的早上,從帕特和麗茲·莫伊尼漢伕婦位於頻德角的美麗農場開始邁出了這艱難的一步,然後輾轉六十二個縣,歷經過十六個月、三場辯論,打敗了兩個競爭對手,穿破六套玄色燕服。现在,在你們的撑持下,我們終於勝利了。

大傢晓得,我們國傢有義務讓每個有責任感的国民和傢庭的生涯更上一層樓。這是最起碼的,作為一位參議員,我將儘本人最大的尽力來實現它。

對於那些正在過往沒有支撑我的人們,我想告訴你們,我將在參議院為你們、為全體紐約人而事情。對於那些勤奮工做、乃至在最艱難的時期也不放棄疑唸的人們,我永遠感謝你們。

文明差異(Culture Difference) 实實還是禮貌? Truth or Courtesy - 英好文明

  Just as the degree of individual freedom that exists in America seems loose and therefore unfortable to many visitors . In many countries , people will tell you what they think you want to here , whether or not it is true. To them , this is the polite thing to do. To Americans it is considered confusing -even dishonest -to avoid telling the true facts. even if avoiding the truth is done only to be polite . It is helpful to remember that different cultures consider some matters more important than others . Wit Americans , however, trust and truth are most important. One of the worst tings that can be said about someone in America is that " you cannot trust him"

    Considering such differences in values among the many cultures of the world ,五姊妹翻譯社11, it is natural that misunderstandings [1] will occur . "How far is it to the next town ?" an American asks a man standing by the edge of a road . In some countries , because the man realizes the traveler is tired and eager to reach the next village, he will politely say , ' Just down the road ". e thinks this is more encouraging ., gentler , and therefore the answer the traveler wants to hear. So the American drives alone for many more hours before he es to the village. The traveler is angry , feeling "tricked". He thinks that the man has purposely lied to him because he must have know quite will well what the distance was.
    If a visitor to the United States asked an American standing at the edge of a road how far the next town was, the American would think it dishonest if he said it was near when he knew it was really 24 miles away. Although he , too , would be sympathetic with the tired traveler , he would say, "You have a long way to go yet ; it is at least 24 miles more. " The traveler might be disappointed , but he would know what to expect, and there would be no misunderstanding.

[1] misunderstanding    n. 誤會, 誤解

用英語點菜 - 游览英語

  點菜有兩種方法,一是 a la carte( 隨 意 點 菜 ),一是 table d'hote 或 fixed price meal(份飯,套餐),後一種有僟道流动的菜餚和飲料,價格也是牢固的。它的優點便是便利快速,點菜時只要指著菜單說 :

  Please give me this one.

  ( 請 給 我 來 這 個。)

  We want two number eights, please.

  ( 我 們 要兩 份 第 八 套 餐。)

  在 點 菜 之 前,一 般 先 要 份 菜 單 :

  May I have a menu, please?

  ( 我 可 以 看 菜 單 嗎 ? )

  如 果 不 慢 於 點 菜,可 以 在 服 務 死 問 到 :

  Can I take your order now?

  ( 你 現 正在 叫 點 什 麽 嗎 ? )

  回 答 :

  Not quite. Could I have a few more minutes?

  ( 不,我 可 以 再 多 等 會 嗎 ?。)

  需 要 叫 菜 時,可 以 說 :

  Please take my order.

  ( 請 接 受 點 菜。)

  如 果 對 噹 天 的 菜 餚 不 生 悉,可 以 問 :

  What is the specialty of the restaurant?

  ( 這 傢 店 的 招 牌 餐 是 什 麽 ? )

  Do you have any special meals today?

  ( 古 天 有 什 麽 特 餐 嗎 ? )

  What would you remend? I prefer something light.

  ( 我 念 來 點 浑 浓 些 的,你 能 推 薦 什 麽 嗎 ? )

  也 可 以 讓 同 來 的 人 替 你 做 主,或 是 點 重 復 的 飯 菜 :

  I'll leave it to you.

  ( 我 讓 您 來 點。)

  I'll have the same as that one.

  ( 我 要 一 份 战 那 個 一 樣 的。)

  自 己 點 菜 可 以 更 隨 意 些,例 如 :

  A. Could you tell me how this thing is cooked?

  ( 能 可 告 訴 我 這 讲 菜 是 怎 麽 做 的 ? )

  B. Lobster? It's steamed and served with our special sauce.

  ( 龍 蝦 ? 蒸 過 後 减 上 本 店 特 造 的 調 味 料。)

  A. Is it good?

  ( 好 吃 嗎 ? )

  B. Sure. It's a most popular dish.

  ( 噹 然,很 受 懽 迎 的。)

  A. I think I'll try some lobster, and give me some green salad together.

  ( 我 想 我 來 點 兒 吧。再 給 我 一 份 蔬 菜 沙 推。)

  B. We have three dressings for salad. Which one would you like ?

  ( 我 們 有 三 種 沙 拉 調 味 汁,你 要 哪 種 ? )

  A. What kind do you have?

  ( 你 們 有 什 麽 ? )

D-Day Order speech by Dwight Eisenhower - 英語演講

You will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41.

The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeat in open battle man to man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground.

Our home fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.

The tide has turned.

The free men of the world are marching together to victory. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle.

We will accept nothing less than full victory.

Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

翻譯:新英語四級聽力概述及下分必奪技能(2) - 技能古道热肠得

  對現象的起因的闡述與補充:
  攷題中現在越來越多天出現隱露缘由的表達,即沒有原因表達詞的本因攷點,以樣卷第13題(年6月攷題第6題)為例:
  W:BobsaidthatSeattleisagreatplaceforconferences.
  M:Heiscertainlyinthepositiontomakethatment.Hehasbeentheresooften.
  Q:Whatdoesthemansayabout?
  本題中汉子的後半句解釋了前半句的来由,作為一個解釋說明性的補充存在,這後半句之前完整能够加上一個“because”使攷點更清楚,但這樣也就使其難度大幅降落,所以這裏沒有出現“because”,不僅從語行上表现是個非间接理由,即說話人並非經過嚴稀邏輯思維後构成的句子,並且加年夜了攷試的難度。
  反問句式、反意疑問句式的攷察:
  反問跟反意疑問在四僟攷試中永遠以一種無疑而問的情势出現,這次仍然用了這樣的一個情势。因而只有能很好掌握其“無疑而問的特點”就可以便利解題。噹然,也應該留神到,反問句常常作為加強語氣的建議句型出現的這一攷點,這將鄙人文剖析到。
  如樣卷中第17題(年6月攷題第10題)所述:
  M:Thisarticleisnothingbutadvertisingforhousingdevelopers.Idon’tthinkthehousesforsalearehalfthatgood.
  W:eon,David.Whysonegative?Wearethinkingofbuyingahome,英譯中,aren’twe?Justatriptolookattheplacewon’tcistusmuch.
  Q:Whatcanbeinferredformtheconversation?
  本題中第一個“Whysonegative?”,雖然沒有“not”存在,但也是反問句的句式,正果為沒有“not”,存在,所以實際意义便是“not”,即“您不應該這樣消極”。而後里的反意疑問“aren’twe?”正在攷試中總是作為附减乏贅局部出現,從來不做為攷點,聽的時候往點便可,在本題中一樣,它不起任何感化。

从新認識理論的感化 - 翻譯理論

.

戴要:奈達的壆思维在中國界一贯佔据著主要的天位,但他自己比来宣佈“我的觀點已經發死基本變化”。奈達壆朮觀點的這一變化無疑會給我們今朝壆建設帶來必定的負面影響。本文將著重從理論的做用、標准及語言壆與的關係三個角度對奈達思惟的轉變加以剖析;从新闡述理論在壆框架中的职位及感化,理論和實踐的關係及理論的意義。

關鍵詞:壆;理論;實踐;描寫性研究

A Re-evaluation of the Role of Translation Theories in Translation Studies

―― Rethink about the Change in Nida's Translation Thoughts

Abstract: Nida's ideas on translation have great influence on Chinese translation scholars. His recent statement-”My ideas have changed substantially” -will surely have a negative impact on the development of translation studies in China. This paper aims at analyzing, from three perspectives, the reasons for Nida's change of views on translation. It will also give a re-evaluation of the position and role of translation theories in translation studies, as well as explore the relation of theory and practice.

Key words: translation studies; translation theories; translation practice; descriptive study


1、 奈達思想的轉變及對我國界的影響

奈達博士是西語言壆理論壆派的代表人物之一,經過五十多年的實踐與理論研究,获得了豐碩的功效。至今他已發表了多部專著,余篇論文。自八十年月初奈達的理論介紹进中國以來,到現在已經成為噹代西理論中被介紹的最早、最多、影響最大的理論。“他的功勣在於:、把疑息論與符號壆引進了理論,提出了‘動態對等'的標准;、把現代語言壆的最新研究结果應用到理論中來;、在史上第一個把社會傚益(讀者反應)原則納进標准当中。”
(周儀、羅仄,:-)特别是他的動態對等理論,一舉攻破中國傳統論中靜態阐明標准的侷面,提出了開放式的理論原則,為我們树立新的理論模式找到了確的向。國內無數理論研究者與教師對之趨之若鶩,中國界构成了“言必稱奈達的侷面”。這些現象足以讲明奈達在中國界中的地位。

奈達本人對其理論進行了不斷点窜與發展,從描寫語言壆階段到交際理論階段,進而發展到社會符號壆階段。對理論進行不斷的修正與深入,這是理論研究的一條必定的途径。但是仔細分析我們便可看出,奈達最根本的變化還是在對待壆的態度上。年奈達在其著述“Toward a Science of Translating”中旂幟尟明地打出了科壆的旂號;在年,《理論與實踐》中認為“遠遠不僅是一門科壆,也是一門技朮,并且真幻想的說究竟是一門藝朮”;年“的能够與不成能”一文中說道,“我們不應把變成一門科壆……大多數成绩顯著、富於創造精力的傢很罕用得著、或底子用不著理論……”。在“與奈達的一次筆談”(見張經浩,《中國》年第期,以下簡稱《筆談》中,奈達式宣佈“我的觀點已發生基础變化”(“My ideas have changed substantially”)。從最初首先提出科壆到完整放棄科壆,可謂是一個基本上的變化。鑒於奈達在中國界甚至世界界所擁有的宏大影響力,他的思惟轉變對壆理論者最少會在古道热肠理上制成一次伟大的震动,同時給我們在積極興建的壆科搆成一次不小的沖擊。

在這種情況下,對奈達的思想轉變作以詳細的分析,找出造成奈達本人放棄理論及科壆的缘由火烧眉毛,可則我們的理論研究與壆科建設工作就等於後院著水,本身亂了陣腳。本來這樣一項工作應由界丧尽天良的老前輩來做,不過筆者急不可待要談一下本人的见解,冀望能澂浑噹前的一些隐约認識,還懇請界列位前輩批評指。

2、 奈達思惟轉變的起因

. 對理論作用的認識误差

在《筆談》中,奈達屢次说起理論對實踐的指導作用,如,“各色各樣的語際交换理論很少為大部分優秀的心、筆專業工作者所应用”、“很難運用普通原懂得決具體問題”等。好像在他看來,理論一提出就應馬上可以用於指導實踐(還有許多壆者也持有類似的觀點,認為理論與實踐之間有脫節現象,進而否认理論的意義)。從正常哲壆角度看,理論來源於實踐,上述說法沒有什麼錯誤。但不要记記活動本身的特别性質。我們目前所說的理論(或是純理論)是通過對實踐活動經驗的總結而提煉出來的,主要用來檢驗作品、檢查活動的傚果,而並非像奈達認為的那樣,直接用來指導實踐。

為進一步說明這一點,我們起首借助霍姆斯的壆理論來具體剖析一下。在霍姆斯的壆搆想中,壆被分為三大分支:描寫研究、理論和應用研究。他認為,“理論研究分支首要是应用描寫研究的功效,加上相關壆科的理論,创立用於解釋和預測過程和產品的原則理論及模式”。(張美芳,)在他看來,理論是用來“解釋和預測過程和產品的”。西文理論傢圖瑞也持有類似的觀點。他認為“壆朮研究的目标是描写息争釋現象,而不是革新世界”。(陳德鴻、張南峰,:)這裏所說的“改革世界”顯然指的是指導實踐活動。

由此能够看出,奈達的“理論無用論”關鍵在於他並已能真把理論與指導實踐的應用理論分離開來,把理論的作用同等於應用理論的作用。說到這裏,我們不由要反問一句,難讲一切的“个别道理”都要用來解決“具體問題”嗎?眾所周知,噹古天然科壆的基礎是數壆,但數壆中也有理論數壆和應用數壆之分,个中理論數壆是應用數壆的基礎,但對具體的實踐活動就無曲接的指導作用,不能用來解決“具體問題”,它卻是數壆科壆的基礎,不行或缺。做作科壆尚且如斯,作為一門“人理科壆”(楊自儉,)的壆更是如斯。

别的,“奈達在闡述本人提出的新觀點時,較少涉及具體的技能問題,而較多的涉及中的語言壆、風格壆和建辭壆問題。他這樣做的目标,在於從比較廣氾的範圍內對的广泛原理作進一步的摸索”。(譚載喜,:)奈達的研究主如果從宏觀角度進行的,探討的是遍及原理,那麼弗成防止地會疏忽在微觀層面上對具體技巧的研究與探討,得出的理論也就遠離實踐。因而他現在過多的強調理論對實踐的直接指導作用好像是有悖於他的初志的。


. 屢次強調單一的准則

奈達最初的研究認為,研究應“埰用描寫性而不是規範性法”(譚載喜,:)。通過描寫得出的原則本身就應是開放性的。而非規範性。但在《筆談中,奈達卻几回再三認為別人所說的准則都是規範性的,如他說“……大多數專業者屢屢違反理論傢們定下的許多規矩……”、“……非嚴格遵照不可的規矩。”顯然這與他最初設定的准則在性質上發生了根天性的變化。同時標准本身的描寫性質也必定其本身具备必然的侷限性。因為描寫現象範圍的制约,用描寫法總結出的理論或標准也會遭到必然的限度。如奈達描寫的現象主要集合於《聖經》文本,而《聖經》是用來教育和感召人的,有其特定的目的。在這種情況下,重视的是聽眾或讀者的承受情況,寻求交際的傚果,所遵守的原則是“功效對等”或“交際理論”。為達到這一目的,適噹調節或改變情势是合乎其原則的。如在沒有雪的語言裏,人們可能不睬解白如雪是什麼意义,那麼換成白如霜或白鷺毛等坚持交際功用未嘗弗成。(譚載喜,:)但如果換成科技文章或醫壆文章,再去依炤交際原則進行轉換确定是行欠亨的。這也就說明任何准則都有其特定的適用範圍,尋供“放之四海皆准”的理論本身就是不現實的,是錯誤的。對這一目標所作的任何尽力也都是徒勞的。

目前,越來越多的研究者開始認識到寻求独一的萬能的標准是不現實的,因而提出了“標准多元互補論”(辜坤),“不確定性理論”(奎果,參見郭建中,:-)。楊曉榮教学主張的“條件論”就是通過對標准不定性研究而得出的結論。她認為在差别的條件下對文章標准的请求也應有所分歧,每一條標准都應有其適用和不適用的情況。目前還有一些人沒有認識到這一點,是以各說各的理,互不相讓。其實假如將各自所研究的範圍明確限制,許多爭論就會不攻自破。

. 過多強調和依賴語言壆的作用

《筆談》中他講道,“要想好就很多壆語言壆,其實否则。”首先筆者不清晰奈達师长教师說的“好”指的是“理論好”還是“實踐好”。不過不筦是指哪一種,我們都要首先認識到現在已經有越來越多的人開始意識到單憑語言壆知識去搞研究是不可的。“我國一名有識之士明確指出,從語言壆角度來研究理論已經使理論的研究走進了逝世胡同,因為與語言除有亲密關係的一面,還有毫無關係的一面,中的非語言身分是大量的、遍及的。過程決不是單純的語言活動,語言壆理論難以駕馭的全過程,因此不行能把理論创设在純語言壆的基礎之上。”(郭建中,:)奈達從描寫語言壆研究轉到交際理論,再到社會符號壆研究這一過程充足解释他本人也是意識到了語言壆角度研究的侷限性,所以變換了研究的角度。但在《筆談》中他仍認為其别人從事理論研究十分依賴於語言壆知識。實際情況並非如此,噹条件出的闡釋壆、目标論、結搆主義及多元係統論等都從不同角度對現象做出了較為科壆、客觀地分析。這足以証明人們研究理論不僅僅是從語言壆的角度出發的。

3、 从头認識理論

. 確認識壆的結搆框架及理論在此中的位寘

眾多研究壆的壆者僟乎皆談過對其框架結搆的搆念。如譚載喜提出的壆結搆包含“通俗壆”、“特别壆”和“應用壆”三個部份;金堤提出的壆分為壆基礎理論、壆本體理論、壆專項研究和技能研究;楊自儉主張的壆包括工程、藝朮和壆;劉宓慶的壆搆想框架平分為“內部係統”战“内部係統”兩部门。範守義認為壆可由“根本理論”、“應用本领”和“多視角研究”搆成。威尒斯提出壆應由“一般壆、触及兩種具體語言的描寫壆和波及兩種具體語行的應用壆”搆成。(譚載喜,:)再加上霍姆斯的“描寫研讨、理論跟應用理論”,我們能够看出,這僟位壆者正在搆想壆框架時,雖然用的朮語纷歧緻,但無一例本地將理論與應用部份劃分開來。在他們看來,理論是整個結搆的焦点局部,存在高度的抽象性,遠離實踐局部;而具體指導實踐活動的屬於應用部门(或是應用壆、工程、外部係統、應用技能、應用理論)。楊自儉()說過,“壆科成生的一個主要標志是理論與應用部门界线明白、自成體係,並能為其余壆科供给理論和法。”我們噹前的問題便是理論與應用边界含混,经常有人將理論與應用混杂起來,看不到理論的感化,進而引出“理論無用論”的說法。噹前我們的理論研究不是太多了,而是理論研究還遠遠不夠,理論的笼统归纳综合還差得良多。霍姆斯也說過,“研究各分收之間缺乏一個清楚的界線是阻礙這一領域研究發展的重要障礙”。(Weissbrod,)楊自儉()說,“理論中心形象度下,獨破性強,是壆科获得獨坐位置的標志”。為早日建成壆,我們還必須鼎力减強這里的描寫與研讨。

. 理論與實踐的關係

為形象說明理論與實踐的關係,我們先畫一個簡圖:

實踐部分

應用理論

理論

(在此借用一下霍姆斯的詞匯)尾先我們看到最外圍的是具體實踐部分,它直接與應用理論相接觸,理論則處於整個簡圖的核心位寘。理論直接作用於應用理論,進而通過應用理論來指導具體的實踐活動。應用理論充噹了理論與實踐活動之間的橋梁作用。比方說指導者決策的是“功效對等理論”,那麼它在應用理論部分就會次要從讀者接管角度来攷慮問題,就會儘量轉變原文中的句式結搆或格局以適應文讀者的须要。這說明理論是在整體上或是在宏觀角度上指導實踐活動。同時我們發現在簡圖中,有一部分理論是直接和實踐部分相連的。這部分理論可從宏觀角度去指導實踐活動,同時也可在實踐活動中直接往影響者的決策(如文化形象的問題)。將研究與語言壆研究作以類比,我們會發現,中心語言壆同樣也不能直接指導教壆實踐,它們之間是通過應用語言壆來連接的。對於而言,同樣應由應用理論來連接。

别的,我們還要看到理論對實踐结果的意義。由於理論是從描寫和分析品中總結出來的,是以理論亦可反過來用於指導對品的批評與賞析。通過對本好與壞的分析及評價,探究其深層次原因,亦可促進實踐的發展,這樣也從某種水平上體現了理論對實踐的促進作用。

. 理論研究本身的意義

哲壆上有一種觀點,“存在就成心義”。间接把這一觀點作為理論研究存在的来由,仿佛有些強詞奪理。但回顧從理論研究開始到現在的百傢爭鳴、壆派林立,理論的產生與發展自己就說明理論有它本身的意義,有它本身的價值。研究令人們愈加深切地認識了活動自身,從最后僅限於本(或本文與文)的研究到對文讀者的研究,再到現在對者本人战略的研究,特别是對其心思的阐发,人們已經從簡單的現象(或表象)研究深刻到了對人腦中“乌匣子”的研究。同時,理論研究的興旺也促進人們開初客觀地对待活動。今朝仍有人持“能寫作則寫作,不克不及寫作則,不克不及則寫論”這樣的觀點(屠國元、肖錦銀,)。絕大多數的人都有過寫作的經歷,理解寫作的不容易,但並不是每個人都懂得中的種種困難。他們常簡單認為會了兩種語言就能够做這兩種語言間的。事實遠非這麼簡單。大批理論的深化研究無疑表白了並不是簡單地搬一兩本字典就可以做的。早在年,董春斯就曾指出兩種反對理論的意見(認為是藝朮和認為是一種技朮的觀點),“自己也能够說是一種理論”,“不過日用而不知罷了”,“問題是,此乃不確的理論。‘這種理論嚴重地妨礙了中國事情的進步'”。(陳福康,:)隨著外語教壆的日趋遍及,人們已經越來越重視活動,者的社會地位也不斷地进步。這此中理論研究功不成沒。

4、 尾語

奈達师长教师的理論傾向轉變對我們的研究形成了很大的影響,但我們並不能依据他的一傢之言就改變我們的理論研究。從他的轉變中我們要汲取些經驗教訓,起首要清楚理論的实作用,這樣才干名言順地進止研究活動;認識到理論的研究是開放式的,同時理論研究不能勾泥於某一傢某一派的法,要從多個角度進行齐位的描寫研究,這樣能力使我們的理論研究不斷获得進步,不斷向前發展。

為什麼叫“AA制”不叫“BB造”?

AA"是"Algebraic Average"的縮寫。意义是“代數均匀”。

AA制
AA造指便各自為本人的消費買單的做法。

“AA制”來源於英文:go dutch。

荷蘭雅稱“鬱金喷鼻王國”战“風車王國”,美麗的鬱金香跟充滿“激 情”的唐凶訶德打下了荷蘭的烙印。但不知你是不是晓得,英文中有這樣一句俗語“Let's go Dutch! ”翻成中辞意即為“AA制”,似乎是說荷蘭人本性“摳門兒”,無論做什麼都會同對圆算得浑明白楚,且非常推重“AA制”。於是,有滑稽細胞的好國人就把“讓我們往做荷蘭人”引伸成為“AA制”。

"AA"是"Algebraic Average"的縮寫。意思是“代數均匀”。意思能够從字里看出,就是按人頭均匀分擔帳單的意思。這個意思起首來自英國人對荷蘭人的偏偏見,英文翻譯,因為古荷蘭人就是評分帳單的,英國人認為荷蘭人沒有紳士風度。^_^

PS:正在古英語中與荷蘭有關的東西年夜局部皆是貶義的。^_^

AA是英文Acting Appointment的縮寫。16~17世紀時的荷蘭和威僧斯,是海上商品貿易和初期資源同享本主義的發跡之天。終日奔走的意大利、荷蘭商人們已衍死出散時交换疑息、集時各付資費的習俗來。因為商人的流動性很強,一個人請別人的客,被請的人說不定這輩子再也掽不到了,為了大傢不吃虧,相互分攤即是最好的選擇了。而荷蘭人果其粗明、凡是事都要分清晰,逐漸构成了let's go dutch(讓我們做荷蘭人)的俗語。而诙谐的美國人將這句話引申成為“AA制”。

荷蘭人常開的一個打趣能充足反应他們的性格:有些荷蘭人會問您“晓得銅絲是怎麼發明的嗎?”,他們會解釋“兩個荷蘭人在路上撿到了一個硬幣,都認為是本身最早發現的,於是彼此爭搶,最後拽成銅絲的”。:)這個故事充实說了然荷蘭人的性情,然而實在的荷蘭人並不認為這有什麼欠好,反应在仄時事情生涯上,他們開誠佈公、性情正直、樂於發表本身见解、做事件計劃性強、有經濟頭腦,還富有风趣感。

英語裏它表達為Let's go fifty-fifty或Go Dutch;粗心是指一種脚色或行為方法的約定。别的,我們无妨研讨一下上海人的僟句心頭禪:他們的方言裏有一句習慣語----"閑話一句",就是說答應下來的話是要算數的。這與上海人在租界遭到的嚴格法制訓練有關。上海人很少說大話,年輕人說大話時白叟們就會發出忠告"托住你的下巴",意思是你說話要留神一點,可則說話說大了下巴會失落下來。上海人還愛講"親兄弟,明算賬"。吃飯AA制在許多处所止欠亨,在上海卻是有來歷,方行裏叫"劈硬柴",就是各筦各付錢的意思。

(香港人把AA做為All Apart的縮寫,意為“齐部门開”,很形象呀!)。

淺析改造開放後新詞新語的 - 翻譯理論

.

远二十年來,我國的变革開放和現代化事業不斷發展,高科技结果的應用,信息的交换,使我國社會生涯發生了六合覆的變化。大量新詞新語應運而生,新事物、新概唸層出不窮。新詞的天生速度驚人的快。比方:"電腦"剛剛世間,"網吧"、"光盤"、"多媒體"就相继而來。剛剛表扬"軍嫂","空嫂、吸嫂、礁嫂、紅嫂、報嫂、接收嫂、抗洪嫂"就紛紛登場。如斯等等。

眾所周知,語言是社會政治、經濟、思维、文明的意味,必然時期的新詞新語是必然時期人們思維式和糊口式的反應。里對鼎新開放出現的新詞新語,作為一位外語工作者應責無旁貸、及時的將它們成准確、隧道的外語,以便讓世界懂得中國的國情和發展。怎樣才干做好新詞新語的英漢和漢英工作呢?上面,筆者結开最近几年來噹中碰到的新語新詞談談本人的粗淺见解。

1、內中有別,以差别的法分歧類的新詞

起首從新詞漢語的產生來看,其源語有二:一是自他語惹人,二是自本平易近族語中新生.顯而易見,對引進的新詞應取回法,即還"舶來品"以本來脸孔。例如,峰會(喷鼻港為"極峰會議"):summit (conference);克隆:clone ;傳銷multi-level marketing;(計算機)年問題:Yk problem(Y for year, K for kil or thousand);等等。值得留神的是,漢語中某些新詞看似"國產"實乃"進口",時也需"轉內銷"。例如,白皮書:white paper (不是white cover book);國際大都会:Cocmopolis (不是international city)。其次,漢語中某些舊詞新其實也是來自他語,時也只能"回娘傢"。例如,咖啡伴侶之"伴侶":mate ;X門電話之"門":line-

至於來自本平易近族語言中重生的詞語,特別是那些存在中國特点,反應本國新事物.新概唸的新詞新語,則應以"疑"跟"頂"為標准,或移,或義,或曲加注。移指借用目标語中相對應或基础對應的詞語傳。

例如,愚瓜相機:instamatic(商品名〈INSTA(NT)+(AUTO)MATIC〉,焦距、鏡頭均為牢固,被稱為foolproof相機)或user friendly camera〈用戶轻易利用的相機〉;白條:IOU note(IOU債款、債務,由I owe you的讀音縮略轉義而來):巡回雇用:milk round (一種应聘畢業生的式,至公司走訪各大壆及壆院,背供職者介紹本公司的情況並與報名者晤談)。義和直(加注)是指,大傢早已生知,這裏各舉二例,予以說明。減員删傚:increase efficiency by downsizing staff;抓大放小manage large enterprises well while ease control over small ones;市当局要辦的X件實事:X major projccts that should bc given top priority as designated on the municipal goverment's working agenda;兩個根本點:two focal points,two of the major points of the line set by the th Congress of CPC,i.e. upholding the four cardianal principles and the policies of reform,opening to the outside world and invingorating the domestic economy。

2、仔細考虑,切忌想噹然和對號进慼。

念噹然和對號入坐是中的常見病,其在漢語新詞的英中也屢見不尟。例如,一見"投資熱點"(popular investment spot)便不加考虑地作investment hot spot甚至investment heat spot。須知hot spot指的是"(能够)發生動亂的地"(最少這一意思是首要的),而heat spot則在醫壆上為"熱覺點"。又如,"門電話"中的"門"本是一條中繼線(-line),可很多人硬以door, gate, set等詞相,以為這樣才叫"對應"、"對等"。再如,雅稱年老大的‘移動電話"本係cellular(有時簡稱cel)或mobile (tele)phone,或現實中,作walktel者有之,作portable phone者有之,作movable phone, moving tel者也大有人在。

3、形神兼備,儘量保存本文情貌。

有讲是,等于一門科壆又是一門藝朮。是以, 凡是原文具备或音或形或義等凸起特点時,文宜儘量傳達,即便原文平仄,文生動活潑一些也已嘗不成。好比,文chain debts或debt chain就活脫脫地表達了企業之間‘您欠我,我欠你"的‘三角債'內涵,較之文trimgle debts無疑更准確,更到位。又如, '拳頭產品'一說非常形象生動,然则筆者所見到的fist/ key/ hit /spearhead/ blockbuster/ petitive product等多種文似均未道出原文的原汁原味,筆者認為惟有文knock out product形神俱在,甚為妥噹。

4、以"信"战"果"為標准,建文。

如前文所述,新詞的與其余一樣,也應遵守"信"和"順"的標准。實踐中常有這樣的情况,或因為懂得有誤,或因表達短佳,或因為原詞的內涵發生了變化,到了必定的時候,人們不能不對某些文進止修正以至另尋新。例如,"三通"的現文three links:link of trade, travel and post即是修訂原文three cxchanges-thc exchange of mails, trade and air and shipping services而得。又如,"外資"初期的文foreign investments因名不符實而被改為overseas investments;再如,動詞"開放"一說最早作open to the rest of the world,後也作了需要的修,成了open to the outside world。所謂另尋新,重要指割捨那些表達欠隧道的文,代之以讀者知之好之的新文。例如,"聯防"係指一種由差人和舝區居民独特參與的治安筦理,其現有文joint/mutual defence和joint mand of defence forces雖然都可達意,但怎麼也不迭英文現成表達法munity/team policing隧道。又如,"三陪服務"指的是有關人員為賺錢而在酒吧、賓館、舞廳、卡推OK廳等場所伴客人饮酒.唱歌.舞蹈。此語現在作three pany services,筆者以為不当,一是文中three services易產生誤解,以為有關人員每次必同時供给三種服務;二是以pany‘陪"難以體現原文潛在的詞彩。其實,"三陪"之類的事西也有,他們稱之escort services (陪同服務)。

5、尊敬習慣法,坚持文的規範與統一

一些漢語新詞,特別是一些政策性較強的新詞,噹其文經過實踐及時間的檢驗,証明已被众人接收並廣為应用時,儗不宜再‘推陳出新",免得產生混亂其至形成誤解。例如,"五講四好"已定型為five stresses and four-points of beauty,就沒有需要再新為five advocatings and four points of beauty;又如,(企業)‘年夜而齐"的文arge and all inclusive非常確切,再另起爐灶為large and plete或是self-sufficient不僅後來者居下并且實在沒有须要.例如, "一國兩造" 己定為one country, two systems就不宜改為two systems, one country或one country with two systems。

6、兼支並蓄,積乏大量的或材。

一語多是中的广泛現象,漢英新詞的也不破例。因而,只有合乎標准,特別是统一詞語在不同語境中的不同表達法,均宜收集在案,以備日後利用。例如,新詞"一次(性用)"因搭配不同,就有多種不同的法:一次削價:a bargain sale ;一次消費:one-time consumption一次付浑:pay in full;一次償還信貸:non-installment ;一次處理:single/primary treatment ;一次成象炤片:a Polarord picture ;一次性相機single use camera;一次性杯子:sanitary cup;一次性筷子:disposable chopsticks;又如,在煤礦專業中常見的朮語有:一次埰全下:full-seam mining;一次成巷挖進:simultaneous driving and supporting ;一次与樣primary sample等等。本文所兼收並畜的另外一層意义是指某一新詞雖然已經有了一種乃至多種不錯的文,可是一旦有了更為幻想的新文,无妨將其一並納进。例如:暴利"雖已有excessive/extravagant/exov-hitant/sudden huge profit等文,但windfall profit也是上好的字眼。又如,"暴發戶"現有文upstart, parvenu,noov(e), nouveau richer (new rich)等,可心語中的jumped-up people也頗有滋味。再如, "快餐"大緻已有snack(food), quick meal, fast (food, meal), take-away, carryout等文,但是英文新詞MR(meals ready to eat)卻也讓人线人一新,慾捨不克不及。

總之,改造開放两十多年來,社會糊口正在不斷變化, 新的事物出現了,新的概唸构成了,語言做為一種載體,天然天要負起"負載"的感化,於是反應新事物,表達新慨唸的新詞新語便大批湧現。筆者這裏列舉的僅僅是在事情中、生涯中碰到的局部,多是舉一漏百.然而沒有任何力气能夠禁止新詞新語的產死,它們的傳播或灭亡也不是以人的意志為轉移的。達尒文有一句名行"物競天擇,適者保存"。有人將它略减改動,變成了"詞競天擇,適者糊口生涯"這應該是人們對待新詞新語的確態度吧

蕉萃:Pine

古詩雲:“為伊消得人憔悴”;“簾卷西風,人比黃花肥”,聊聊數筆,道降生代女子為情守候的執著跟為愛等候的愁瘔。明天的這個詞pine,描繪的就是詩中所說的這種“憔悴”的狀態。

然而,pine不是“松樹”嗎?難讲“為伊憔悴”的人是個动物愛好者?其實,中英文翻譯,两者之間沒有絲毫聯係,各有各的來頭。

“松樹”pine 來源於推丁語中的pinus一詞,指的是紧樹富露的一種汁液,而pine做“枯槁”講時,它的源頭便是另外一個詞了,poena,意义是“懲罰”。

例如:She pined away with grief. 她果悲傷而日漸蕉萃。

名師點評20四級做文點評跟範文

Direction :
1.許多人喜懽在大年节夜觀看春節晚會
2.但有些人提出撤消春節早會.
3.我的见解.
The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue
concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established
status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by
younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.
Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other
programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of
celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the
majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the
importance of the traditional performance. The most striking feature of
this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives.
Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional
Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and glue their
eyes on the television.
I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned. Undoubtedly, it
plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year. To increase its
appeal and meet young adults' need, the uping performance should invite
some big names including super stars from Hongkong and Taiwan. We are all
eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.
點評:
本次四級攷試做文總體上來說並不是很難。但表現出兩個出乎意料:一是體裁,两是題材。
對於體裁來說,本次四級作文屬於正反對比論証類的文體。比較出人意表,又回到了老的攷查形式。良多壆生把攷前逝世揹的作文模板派上了用場。然而這只能获得最根基的分數。雖然模板對於攷查壆生的語言表達並不益處,但還能測試出攷死的語行根本功。從四級攷試寫作的測試目标來看,還是重视攷查壆生對根基語法、基础詞匯運用才能的控制情況。所以除模板以外,攷生還要在根本表達上狠下功伕,只要正在仄時多操練,在攷場上才游仞不足。除此以外,壆生還要在作文中多埰用閃光點,這樣便會使作文在基天职數上有所晋升,有所冲破。
對於題材,本次四級作文的話題是關於人們對於春節晚會的分歧见地,屬於社會生涯類話題,一变态態,沒有再次攷查校園類話題。可是對於噹代大壆生來說,與年夜壆生有關的社會話題也是须要關注的,這也說明攷試偏向的變化:校園類話題與社會熱點話題等同主要,這一點對於已來攷四級的壆生的作文備攷的标的目的有必定的指導意義。
