翻譯過(guò)程中如何運(yùn)用相應(yīng)的技巧?
(一)標(biāo)題的翻譯。這篇小說(shuō)的標(biāo)題看似簡(jiǎn)單,只有一個(gè)單詞,但卻是整篇小說(shuō)的核心和靈魂,是對(duì)小說(shuō)內(nèi)容的概括,在翻譯標(biāo)題時(shí),要結(jié)合文章主題、文化語(yǔ)境等多方面的因素來(lái)考慮,以便使這個(gè)標(biāo)題起到畫(huà)龍點(diǎn)睛的作用。
(二)專有名詞的翻譯。這篇小說(shuō)中出現(xiàn)了很多涉及體育運(yùn)動(dòng)和法律方面的專有詞匯,對(duì)于其詞義的確定很重要。在《英漢互譯實(shí)用教程》這本書(shū)中提出:“確定詞義很不容易,但又很重要。弄錯(cuò)了,往往會(huì)貽笑大方或造成實(shí)際工作中的很大失誤。”因此,在確定詞義的時(shí)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(huì)讓譯作黯然失色。
(三)長(zhǎng)句的翻譯。這篇小說(shuō)中有一些長(zhǎng)句,需要認(rèn)真斟酌,也是翻譯中的難點(diǎn)。翻譯英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)句,通常有兩種方法:一是將長(zhǎng)句拆成短句;二是打亂原文結(jié)構(gòu),重新組合。
(四)對(duì)話的翻譯。小說(shuō)中的人物對(duì)話,是推動(dòng)小說(shuō)情節(jié)的發(fā)展,交代作品某些背景材料的重要手段。同時(shí)人物對(duì)話能展現(xiàn)人物性格,使人物形象生動(dòng)地躍然于紙上。因此在翻譯對(duì)話的時(shí)候要注意措詞符合人物的身份、地位及性格。同時(shí),由于口語(yǔ)有別于書(shū)面語(yǔ),應(yīng)盡量做到言簡(jiǎn)意賅。
(五)風(fēng)格的保持?,F(xiàn)代語(yǔ)言學(xué)認(rèn)為,風(fēng)格的產(chǎn)生必須借助于特定的語(yǔ)言形式:句法、語(yǔ)法、修辭以及語(yǔ)境和銜接。也就是說(shuō)風(fēng)格,第一是就文本來(lái)說(shuō),看是散文、小說(shuō)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(diǎn)綜合考慮在胸,就大體把握了風(fēng)格問(wèn)題。對(duì)于這篇小說(shuō),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?yàn)樽骷业默F(xiàn)實(shí)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(dāng)直譯無(wú)法達(dá)意時(shí),也采用直譯加注釋或意譯的手法。
