科学语言隐喻式的构建及其翻译策略

Scientific Language:Metaphorical Constructions and Translation Strategies

韩礼德认为科学语言有两大基本句式:一致式和隐喻式。一致式是隐喻式建构的前提。在隐喻式构建过程中,语法隐喻会出现层级转换与功能转换。因此在翻译过程中,可以视难易程度对科技语言中的隐喻式句子采取同级或升级翻译策略。

According to Halliday, in scientific language there are two basic forms： congruent and metaphorical forms. The metaphorical form is from the congruent one. In the process of the transference of the congruent form to the metaphorical form,grammatical metaphor involves shifts in ranks and functions. So metaphorical forms in scientific language tend to be translated on the same rank or to a higher rank according to the degree of difficulty.
