1、意译为主的修辞意译为主的修辞两大类两大类1.利用语言独特构造的修辞格 reason:语法,语音,语言形式 无法和译入语匹配2.有特定文化背景的修辞格 reason:文化背景不为译入语读者 熟悉1.拟声词(onomatopoeia)2.Example:3.SL:那时候,只听见沙沙的脚步声以及拉车的那两匹鬃毛蓬松的小马得得的马蹄声,除此之外,再也听不见别的声音了。4.TL:There were no sound but that of the tread of the men and the footsteps of the two shaggy ponies which drew the van

8、 Liang by himself can never be perfect,he has his limitation.Example:(2)这对年轻夫妇并不相配,一个西施,一个张飞。This young couple is not well matched,one is a Xi Shi a famous Chinese beauty,while the other is a Zhang Fei a well-known ill-tempered brute.7.摹形(graphic)把眼睛看到的形体如实描绘出来,主要是对大小,弯曲,长短,肥瘦,凹凸等方面的临摹。Examples:(1)三

11、tream and a hutAn ancient road,the west wind and a skinny horse.The sunset in the west,the traveler far away from home.Crows hovering over rugged trees wreathed with rotten vine the day is about done.Yonder is tiny bridge over a sparking stream,and on the far bank,a pretty little village.But the traveler has to go down this ancient road,the west wind moaning,his bony horse groaning,trudging towards the sinking sun,farther and farther away from home.Thank you!
