1、第1单元 时间句视译英汉汉英视译教程上篇 英译汉第1页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译 n 无论何种形式的时间句，包括时间状语词组和时间状语从句，英语时间句的特点都是时间修饰部分在句子中的位置根据表达侧重的需要比汉语更加灵活多变，常见于句首、句中和句末。而汉语时间句的时间修饰部分多见于句首或句中，却鲜见于句末，这就造成英译汉时时间成分分别在英汉句式结构中的时间和空间上的不对称，给即时口译，尤其是同声翻译译员在瞬间构建译文逻辑时带来很大的不便、干扰或障碍，从而减缓翻译效率，降低翻译质量，甚至阻碍信息的顺畅传递。我们如果注意到英汉语句时间修饰成分在句子结构位置上的特点与差异，经过专项翻译练习，熟练

2、掌握应对英汉时间句的转换技巧，便能够在语句、语段或语篇翻译时达到迅速、自如、流畅、通顺的口译较高境界。第2页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（要点梳理）n时间成分分别在英汉句式结构中的时间和空间上不对称n英语时间句：位置根据表达侧重的需要灵活多变，常见于句首、句中和句末n汉语时间句：多见于句首或句中，却鲜见于句末第3页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n1.The founding of the Peoples Republic of China was announced to the whole world by Mao Zedong on Tiananmen Square on O

3、ctober 1st,1949.n【笔译】n【视译】1949 年10 月1 日，毛泽东在天安门广场向全世界宣告了中华人民共和国的成立。中华人民共和国的成立是由毛泽东在天安门广场于1949 年10 月1 日向全世界宣告的。第4页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n译评即使是中等长度的语句，视译时也不便作重大句子成分搬移，而应该顺坡就势，顺水推舟，一气呵成。本句英语时间状语词组置于句末，恰恰与中文时间状语放置习惯形成鲜明差异，但为了适应视译应“鱼贯而出”的规律，中文连接词语“是由”、“在”和“于”的使用在此显得既必不可少，又恰如其分。第5页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n2.The

4、 bell had rung for the class before he could have his breakfast.n【笔译】n【视译】他还没来得及吃早饭，上课铃就响了。上课铃响了，可是他还没吃早饭。第6页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n译评本句中，由before 引导的时间状语从句置于句末，这是英语常见的时间状语从句形式，而中文的此类时间状语更多见于句首。虽然笔译参考译文更地道、生动，笔者还是建议学生更要参考视译译文，因为视译译文更符合“鱼贯而出”的视译规律。第7页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n3.The Owens will move to a cheap

5、er flat on the east side of the city when their baby is born.n【笔译】n【视译】孩子出生以后，欧文斯全家将搬入城东部一套更便宜的公寓。欧文斯全家将搬入城东部一套更便宜的公寓，时间是孩子出生以后。第8页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n译评虽然本句里的时间状语从句较短，但是主句较长。在视译过程中如果想把即使是较短的时间状语从句在瞬间搬移至较长的主句前面，译员仍会感觉力不从心，这是因为人的思维多为线性式，而非跳跃式。尤其是在应对更长的类似句子时，不妨采取本句中略显“笨拙”的后补说明式手段，以减轻因大块儿搬移而产生的整体翻译压力和

6、难度。第9页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n4.It was not until we got to be an arms distance from each other that I recognized it was my long-lost elder brother.n【笔译】n【视译】直到我们走到离彼此只有一臂之遥时，我才认出对方是我失散已久的哥哥。我们彼此已经相距一臂之遥了，我才认出我失散已久的哥哥。第10页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n译评此句为典型英语思维句式notuntil 与it is that 强调句式的混合运用，构成了思维转换的双重困难，是所有翻

7、译形式的难点。如果不是强调句，原句为“I did not recognize it was my long lost elder brother until we got to be an arms distance from each other.”句式排列上的第一行为是实际上的第二行为，翻译时把两个行为予以换位，把否定改为肯定即可。而该句式的强调句恰恰符合了客观行为的发生顺序，只需增加语气词即可。第11页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n5.Hardly/Scarcely had they reached home after such a hard dangerous journ

8、ey when/before their youngest son miraculously fell ill.n【笔译】n【视译】经过如此艰辛、危险的旅途，他们刚一到家，他们的小儿子便莫名其妙地生病了。他们一路上遭遇了许多艰辛和危险，可是刚一到家他们的小儿子便生病了，真是莫名其妙！第12页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例句）n译评笔译参考译文的语义逻辑略显平淡，视译参考译文听着更具戏剧性，焦点更加突出。文字表述与口头表述之间存在许多规律性区别，英汉视译的转换终端是口头表述形式。因此有时为了使缺乏听觉趣味和视觉联想效果的书面语言听起来更加生动、有趣，可以把原文里语境语义的焦点适度放大或夸张

9、，甚至挪移，使之更加凸显，以达到更佳的视听接收效果。第13页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例段）n1.We promote key treatieslike the comprehensive nuclear-test-ban treaty(CTBT)that have been signed but not yet entered into force.It was in 2019 when I served as Chairman of the CTBT organization.But still,after nine years,we have still not been abl

12、然无法见证该条约的实施。我们的职责是推动某些重要条约的履行，如全面禁止核试验条约(简称为CTBT)。这些条约已经签署却未曾生效。该禁核条约签署于2019 年，我时任禁止核试验条约组织的主席。然而，九年后的今天，我们仍然无法见证该条约的实施。第17页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例段）n译评（1）本段落第二句是一个省略强调句，可以还原成“It was in 2019 when I served as Chairman of the CTBT organization that CTBT was signed.”斜体字部分的语境语义在原文里已经得到充分体现，可以省略。但视译时需要还原完整内容，

13、听众方能轻松地领会完整逻辑关联的来龙去脉。第18页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例段）n译评（2）原文中表达时间的词组利用时间的延续性和本句谓语时态的表达，巧妙准确地暗示了“现在”的境况。视译译文用词准确，结构巧妙，又十分符合中文口语化的特点，说起来朗朗上口，听起来娓娓动听，不失为一段视译佳作。第19页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例段）n2.Since I delivered my inaugural address,56 months ago,I have learned an enormous amountabout higher education,about leadersh

14、ip and also about myself.Some things look different to me than they did five years ago.第20页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例段）n2.Since I delivered my inaugural address,56 months ago,I have learned an enormous amountabout higher education,about leadership and also about myself.四年零八个月以前，发表了就职演说，至今我已领悟颇多，内容既涉及高等教育、领导

16、 时间句视译（例段）n译评中文的表达习惯是把月数折合成年数，再加上零头时间数。此句也可以说成“四年又八个月以前”。发表就职演说是西方文化现象，是一个人就职的标志行为。因此，这句话也可以翻译成“自从四年零八个月以前我就职以来”，或“我已就职四年又八个月，此间领悟颇多”。“Learned”意指获得知识，但是在这里如果使用“获得知识”显得平实，故用“领悟”以强化说话人内在感受的表达效果。第24页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例篇）n Europe has arrived at a time of decision about its future.An important part of tha

31、的重要任务之一就是确保欧盟和美国之间的关系继续蓬勃发展，而这一关系是至今世界上最重要的经济关系。1963 年肯尼迪总统访问了爱尔兰。第32页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例篇详解）n1963,he had just made his famous visit to Berlinthe symbolic locus of a divided Europe.Forty-five years later,Germany is reunited and the countries of central and eastern Europe are breathing freely.此前他刚刚结束了

33、（2）通常，英文表达时间的状语词组如果放在句末，只要方便视译时就需移至中文的句首或句中。第35页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例篇）n译评（4）英文里的时间经常由it 代替。如“It will be a time of change in many parts of the world.”中文表达时可灵活变通，既可以重复具体时间，也可以采用时间状语词组形式。（3）英文凡是表达由持续时间段修饰的行为、事件等，如years of internal debate，多以时间为表述主体，而行为、事件等作为介词结构予以后置修饰，这一点与中文恰恰相反。第36页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（例篇）n译

34、评（5）英文时间状语从句既可见于句首，亦可见于句末，而中文时间状语从句多见于句首，尤其是时间状语从句本身包括一个时间状语词组时，视译时为了顺应中文表达习惯，可以将其视为独立结构句子，从而组织表达后续中文时会更加方便、顺畅。第37页，共65页。第1单元 时间句视译（视译练习：语句）n(1)I shall do anything before my family shall want.n(2)Now,some of this contentiousness can be attributed to the incredibly difficult moment in which we find o
