 1995年 翻译延伸


1、The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill informed or incompetent 1 users.
【分析】
多重复合句。句子的主干为The target is wrong。 for引导原因状语从句,嵌套that引导的定语从句,修饰 fault。 target指代前文的标准化测试,翻译时需明确。先行词the fault和其定语从句可译为独立的句子“弊病来自”,其中名词结构 ill informed or incompetent users 可转译为动词结构,同时增补词语“对测试”,使译文更流畅。
【点拨】
1、divert attention from“把注意力从…转移”,可直接译为“不考虑”。2、informed“消息灵通的;了解情况的;有学问的”,ill informed译为“了解不详的”。
【译文】
把标准化测试作为抨击目标是错误的,因为在抨击这类测试时,批评者不考虑其弊病来自人们对测试不甚了解或使用不当。
2、How well the predictions will be validated 2 by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability 3, and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted.
【分析】
复合句。How…performance是一个从句,在整句中作主语。句子谓语是depends upon…and on…,宾 语是 the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of the information 和 the skill and wisdom。used 是 information 的后置定语,前置译。with which it is interpreted 是个定语从句,修饰前面的skill and wisdom,由于较短,前置译。
【点拨】
How well表程度,翻译时可译为“在多大程度上”,不能译为“怎样好地”。
【译文】
这些预测在多大程度上为后来的表现所证实,这取决于所采用信息的数量、可靠性和适宜性,以及解释这些信息的技能和才智。
