翻譯過程中如何運用相應(yīng)的技巧?
(一)標題的翻譯。這篇小說的標題看似簡單,只有一個單詞,但卻是整篇小說的核心和靈魂,是對小說內(nèi)容的概括,在翻譯標題時,要結(jié)合文章主題、文化語境等多方面的因素來考慮,以便使這個標題起到畫龍點睛的作用。
(二)專有名詞的翻譯。這篇小說中出現(xiàn)了很多涉及體育運動和法律方面的專有詞匯,對于其詞義的確定很重要。在《英漢互譯實用教程》這本書中提出:“確定詞義很不容易,但又很重要。弄錯了,往往會貽笑大方或造成實際工作中的很大失誤。”因此,在確定詞義的時候一定要結(jié)合上下文的理解,查閱字典和相關(guān)資料,弄清楚確切含義,否則會讓譯作黯然失色。
(三)長句的翻譯。這篇小說中有一些長句,需要認真斟酌,也是翻譯中的難點。翻譯英語長句,通常有兩種方法:一是將長句拆成短句;二是打亂原文結(jié)構(gòu),重新組合。
(四)對話的翻譯。小說中的人物對話,是推動小說情節(jié)的發(fā)展,交代作品某些背景材料的重要手段。同時人物對話能展現(xiàn)人物性格,使人物形象生動地躍然于紙上。因此在翻譯對話的時候要注意措詞符合人物的身份、地位及性格。同時,由于口語有別于書面語,應(yīng)盡量做到言簡意賅。
(五)風(fēng)格的保持。現(xiàn)代語言學(xué)認為,風(fēng)格的產(chǎn)生必須借助于特定的語言形式:句法、語法、修辭以及語境和銜接。也就是說風(fēng)格,第一是就文本來說,看是散文、小說呢,還是科技材料;第二,是看原文人物的好壞,原文的詞義色彩,是褒義還是貶義。這兩點綜合考慮在胸,就大體把握了風(fēng)格問題。對于這篇小說,為了保持原有作品的風(fēng)格,一方面采取直譯的地方為多數(shù),因為作家的現(xiàn)實主義基調(diào),采用直譯能更好地保持作品原有的味道。另一方面雖然譯者盡量直譯,但當直譯無法達意時,也采用直譯加注釋或意譯的手法。
