英语和汉语中均有从正面或反面来表达一种概念的现象。就像我们常说的“Excuse me!”


我们常译成“对不起”,就是英语正面表达而汉语则采用反面的表达。下面我们就来详细的看看这种翻译方法吧。


一、            正反表达――英语从正面表达,译文从反面表达。


1The first bombs missed the target.


解析:miss原义是“错过”。是一个表达肯定意思的词。


译文:第一批炸弹没有击中目标。(脱靶)


2We may safely say so.


解析:safely是副词,表示“安全地”这里可以反过来表达。


译文:我们这样说万无一失。(错不了)


3His refusal is not final.


解析:final是“最后的,最终的”,可这样译的话就有些不像汉语啦:)


译文:他的拒绝不是不可改变的。


4This problem is above me.


解析:above是“在这上”,这个问题在我上面,即我不能超过的意思。


译文:我问题我不懂(解决不了)。


5My guess is as good as yours.


解析:我的猜测和你的一样好,也没有错,只是语气上有点像是自夸,可以试着换种说法。


译文:我的猜测并不比你高明。


二、            反正表达――英语从反面表达,译文从正面表达。


6The man jumped over a neighbouring garden wall and disappeared among the crowds.


解析:disappear是英语中否定的表达形式,而汉语中常译成“消失”。


译文:这个家伙从邻居的花园墙头上翻了出去,在人群中消失了。


7He carelessly glanced through the note and got away.


解析:carelessly原本否定,即不注意的,而我们常译成“马马虎虎”。


译文:他马马虎虎地看了看那张便条就走了。


8Hilter’s undisguised effort to persecute 1 the Jews met with the world-wide condemnation 2.


解析:undisguised是否定的,意思是“不加掩饰的”,但有时也可以正着说。


译文:希特勒对犹太人的露骨的迫害行为受到全世界的遣责。


9Don't lose time in posting this letter.


解析:划线部分是别浪费时间,可用在这里,若这样说有些不简练,显得啰嗦。


译文:赶快把这封信寄出去。


10Such flights couldn’t long escape notice.


解析:这种飞机不会很久逃避注意的。是不是有些说得不明白。


译文:这类飞机迟早会被发觉的。


其实这种翻译的方法我们经常在不经意的时候一直使用着,只是没有注意到,但是当在一些复杂的句子中就想不起来了,这就是我们这节课的目的所在。


练习:


1. Such a chance was denied me.


2. The boy is quite clever.    ------ Exactly.

3、 他并不愚笨,仅仅是无知而已。


4、 如果他不通知我,我就不去。


5、 他无权签订这种合同。
