翻译活动是世界各国之间、各民族之间和各种文化之间得以相互沟通与交流的主要手段。从中西文化的交流发展来看更是如此，可以说，没有翻译活动的巨大贡献，我国的现代化进程将会是截然不同的另外一种模样。总之，很难想象人类文化史没有翻译活动其发展进程会是什么样子。第27页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二 然而，给翻译这一文化活动下定义虽然容易，但如果要就其给出一些标准却远非易事。这是因为：翻译是一门艺术性极强的学科，是一种创造性的语言活动，在翻译过程中虽然要遵循一定的科学规律，但任何过的规律约束多会使翻译工作者无所适从，其译品也势必会诘屈聱牙。以英译汉为例，就要求译者不仅要具备深厚的英语语言文化知识功底，更主要的是还需具备深厚的汉语语言文化知识，了解自己的语言文化才行。这一点正是目前我国译界的一个死结：很多译者倾很多译者倾力于英语英言学习的同时却忽略了力于英语英言学习的同时却忽略了汉语的进一步学习，结果其译品洋汉语的进一步学习，结果其译品洋腔洋调，缺少汉语独有的美感。腔洋调，缺少汉语独有的美感。第28页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二但是这并不是说翻译就不需要标准。翻译工作没有一定纪律性约束就会造成乱译或胡译，尤其是各种专有名称和技术文献的翻译，就必须遵循一个统一的翻译标准，以免各行其是，最后形成术语或名称的混乱局面，让读者无所适从，严重的还会造成重大经济损失和国际笑话。其实，不管采用那一家的翻译标准，基本目的都大同小异，即是要保证原保证原文信息的准确含义、语言风格和文信息的准确含义、语言风格和文化内涵都得到饱满传递，即是文化内涵都得到饱满传递，即是要坚决做到要坚决做到“译什么像什么译什么像什么”，不，不能对原文意思有任何的歪曲和增能对原文意思有任何的歪曲和增减。减。第29页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二 Speaking of translation,we tend to think of Yan Fu who advocated for the first time the three words as transla-tion criteria,namely,“faithfulness,expressiveness and elegance”.Yan Fus“faithfulness”means the full and complete conveying or transmission of the original content or thought.His“expressiveness”demands that the version must be clear and flowing without any grammatical mistakes or confused logic and sense.第30页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二 But his“elegance”is inadaptable because it refers to the use of classical Chinese before the Han Dynasty.Yan Fu held that only the language before the Han Dynasty could be considered elegant and old vocabulary,old structure of Chinese must be used in order to represent the original fully and adequately.第31页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二 “Faithfulness”first refers to the content of the original work.The translator must bring out the original mean-ing both comprehensively and accurately without any distortion or casual addition or deletion of the original thought.Faithfulness also includes the keeping of the original style,as Mr.Lu Xun put it,“Keep the full flavor of the original work.第32页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二

It was the best of times,it was the worst of times,it was the age of wisdom,it was the age of foolishness;it was the epoch of belief,it was the epoch of incredulity;it was the season of light,it was the season of darkness;it was the spring of hope,it was the winter of despair;we had everything before us,we had nothing before us;we were all going direct to Heaven,we were all going to the other way Charles Dickens:A Tale of Two Cities第40页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二 When you speak or write,no law says you have to use big words.Short words are as good as long ones,and short,old words like“sun”,“grass”and“home”are best of all.A lot of small words,more than you might think,can meet your needs with a strength,grace and charm that large words lack.Big words can make the way dark for those who hear what you say and read what you write.They add fat to your prose.Small words are the ones we seem to have known from birth.They are like the hearth fire that warms the home and they cast a clear light on big things:“night and day”,“love and hate”,“war and peace”,“life and death”.第41页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二 Short words are bright,like sparks that grow in the night;sharp like the blade of a knife;hot like salt tears that scald the check;quick like moths that flit from flame to flame;and terse like the dart and sting of a bee.If a long word says just what you want,do not fear to use it.But know that our tongue is rich in crisp,brick,swift,short words.Make them the spine and the heart of what you speak or write.Like fast friends,they will not let you down.第42页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二第43页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二The End 掌声！第44页，共44页，编辑于2022年，星期二
