8、实质内容上的一致，而不是形式上的一致。译者由于对原文理解不深，不能透过原文的形式掌握其实质内容，仅见其形，未见其神，这样译出的文字形式上似乎与原文一致了，但与原文的意思却相去甚远。这便是犯了翻译上的形式主义翻译上的形式主义。但是灵活出了格，过分强调译文的流畅，而不受原文意思的约束，闹了独立性，在原文的思想内容之外随意添枝加叶，这种译法称之为自由主义。自由主义。TranslationeseOver-translation硬译法硬译法/滥译法滥译法Have one foot in the grave 一条腿已迈入坟墓一条腿已迈入坟墓风烛残年风烛残年To spring up like mushroo

11、原语文化要用译语文化替代原语文化”即把在译语中找不到对等的外语词汇改头换面，或套用译语中与之相似的现成的表达法，把它们变成读者熟悉的译语文化形象读者熟悉的译语文化形象。归化派代表人物尤金奈达（Eugene A.Nida）:功能对等Functional Equivalence“The receptors of the translated text could respond to it with comprehension and appreciation in essentially the same manner and to the same degree as the original

25、词词。“神神仙仙”是是中中国国道道教教的的概概念念，变变“神神”成成“仙仙”是是道道家家的的最最高高理理想想；而而“拯拯救救”是是基基督督教教的的概概念念，从从“罪罪孽孽”中中得得到到“拯拯救救”则则是是基基督督徒徒的的最最高高追追求求。这这符符合合译译语语读读者者的的文文化化接接受受心心理理，然然而而结结果果则则多多少少扭扭曲曲了了原原文文的的内内涵涵意意义，导致内涵层面的不对等。义，导致内涵层面的不对等。音音系系层层面面。原原文文利利用用汉汉字字“好好”和和“了了”押押韵韵形形成成AABA韵韵，译译文文同同样样取取AABA韵韵。这这种种韵韵律律在在英英诗诗中中很很少少见见。原原文文每每行行

27、immortals.Yet to riches and rank each aspires;The great ones of old,Where are they now?Their graves are a mass of briars.Summary霍克斯：霍克斯：为了取悦于译文读者，是为一般的英美读者翻译的，因此他遵循了以目的语文化为归宿的原则，即采用了“归化”的方法。杨宪益：杨宪益：想尽可能多地把中国文化介绍给英美读者，是以想多了解中国文化的英美读者为对象的，因而基本上遵循了以源语文化为归宿的原则，即采用了“异化”的方法。总结：总结：从好了歌的两译文分析可以看出，译者不同的翻译目的、

28、文化意识和读者意识翻译目的、文化意识和读者意识；在具体的翻译过程中，决定译者会采用不同的翻译方法，从而产生不同的译本。因此翻译批评不能单凭规范性的翻译标准来评价译本的优劣，而应把翻译目的、翻绎策略和翻译方法等纳人批评苑畴，从更宽泛的时代和社会视角评价翻译的成败得失。2.5 TranslatabilityThere are over 3,000 languages in the world today,therefore,different grammar rules and various ways are used to express ideas.Examples for you to t
