浅析英汉语法连接的差异

英汉语言连贯成篇往往都依靠语法手段,但它们使用的具体方式却多不同,如英语用时体形式,译成汉语却要用替代方式;这种差异还会超出“语法”的范畴,即英语(或汉语)用的是某种语法连接方式,译成汉语(或英语)则要靠词汇手段、逻辑手段或隐性连贯之类。由于英汉语语法差异之大,所以它们的语法连接问题特别值得作一实际的比较。     

翻译的科学性与艺术性

翻译的科学性和艺术性统一于理想译者高超的技能。首先是翻译的复制性决定了二者的统一 ,其次是翻译思维的特点及操作方式 ,必然要求科学性与艺术性相统一。     

电视体育新闻的编译技巧

编译是电视体育新闻汉译的主要特点,是一个先编后译的过程,体育新闻的编译技巧,除增加、删除、重组等常用技巧之外,准确使用体育专业术语及行话、注意译名的准确性和统一性、巧用四字格和另设新闻标题等技巧在电视体育新闻汉译实践中也行之有效.     

揭开集合侵权的面纱——从术语翻译到制度建构的追问

Masstort应译为“集合侵权”。“大规模侵权”存在形式和实质上之不足，不能标识恰当的判断标准，无法揭示整体性侵害这一本质，也难以统摄两大基本类型。基于整体结构转型、构成技术和归责机制失灵等原因，集合侵权不能融入传统侵权法，属于侵权法上的“情势变更”。为应对集合侵权，实体法须采取拟制集合团体、醇化责任基础、损害赔偿模型化、缓和证明责任等措施；同时，应以集团诉讼为中心构建程序制度，并实现私人自治和国家强制的结合。我国初步具备了应对集合侵权的实体法基础；程序法上还亟待建立集团诉讼制度，改变行政主导应对程序的现状。     

法律法规名称英译研究

法律法规的名称往往揭示了法律法规所要调整或规范的对象、主要范围或主要内容,故而至关重要,但目前鲜有学者对我国法律法规名称的英译进行探讨。在权威机构颁布的法律法规英译本中,法律法规名称的翻译在术语、语法及句法等方面都存在诸多值得商榷之处。中西方思维、文化及心理上的巨大差异导致了中英文表述上的不同。从翻译目的论的视角观之,法律法规名称的英译需正确选用术语、注重译入语的语法和句法表述习惯,尤其是参照外国法律法规名称的表达方式,方能最终实现我国法律法规英译的目的。     

French engagement versus British commitment. Was it interlingual miscommunication or political manipulation?

ABSTRACT

The efforts undertaken to establish the contemporary European Union started many years earlier. The history of establishing a pan-European organization is interesting not only for historians and economists but also translators and linguists as it is the history of interlingual communication (negotiations and agreements). One such negotiation was allegedly ineffective due to the difference in understanding the French term engagement and its English equivalent employed by translators and interpreters, that is to say the English term commitment. The authors aim at presenting the political background of negotiations and the social semiotic analysis of the terms in question in order to provoke the reader to find the answer to the question whether the negotiation was broken due to interlingual miscommunication resulting from erroneously chosen equivalent or it was destined to failure from the very beginning due to socio-political and economic interests of negotiating parties. In order to achieve that goal, the authors have analysed notes exchanged between the governments of France and Great Britain in course of negotiation. The history of negotiation and the linguistic analysis are combined to illustrate the complexity of meaning construction and the semiotic implications of the contextual dependence of meanings of terms and their dynamic evolution in time and space.     

Picture–text congruence in translation: images of the Zen master on book covers and in verbal texts

The study aims to demonstrate how cover pictures and verbal texts are congruent with each other in presenting the Zen master Huineng in two English translations of the Platform Sutra. The focus is on the interpersonal/interactive meanings and the analytical tools adopted are systemic functional linguistics and Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual social semiotics. Results show that the visual techniques employed to depict Huineng on the book covers are in consistency with the verbal choices adopted to present Huineng in the translated texts. While the medium to close shot and eye-level angle complement the choice of speaker-plus “we” as dominant interactive subject person, and qualified statements and polite suggestions/commands in Wong’s translation, the very long shot matches the use of speaker “I” and addressee “you”, and categorical statements and direct commands in Cleary’s translation. In this way a consistent image of Huineng is presented in each translation: friendly and willing to be close to the viewer/audience in Wong’s translation, but authoritative and distant in Cleary’s translation.     

'Gold and Bracelet,Water and Wave': Signature and Translation in the Indian Poetry of Adela Cory Nicolson

Writing under the male pseudonym'Laurence Hope', Adela Cory Nicolson published three collections of poetic verses set in colonial India between 1901 and 1905, namely The Garden of Kama, Stars of the Desert and Indian Love. In the late 1880s, dressed as a young male Afghan groom, Nicolson routinely followed her husband to the military camps that the British colonial authorities had set up in Afghanistan. This experience of gender and cultural cross-dressing finds a special place in many of Nicolson's love poems. Although Leslie Blanch has claimed that the'mainspring of Laurence Hope's verses still elude us', it is clear that Nicolson relied heavily on appropriating the poetic languages of Hindu'bhakti' and Islamic'sufi' traditions, thereby transforming the erotic conventions of the late Victorian fin de sicle. Her use of poetic signature is central to the formation of such a poetics. Long ignored on grounds that it was merely part of the enormous left-over corpus of colonial exotica produced and consumed with unprecedented eagerness in the age of empire, Nicolson's poetry therefore invites a reappraisal on the grounds that it constituted a significant act of translation: a practice aimed at reconceptualizing notions of national poetic legacy under colonialism and at reworking gender and identity in relation to poetic voice.
