英汉文学语篇对比与翻译

Comparison and Translation Between English-Chinese Literary Texts

英汉文学语篇对比的功用之一是有助于二者互译的完善.衔接和连贯的形式总的来说是两种语言所共有的,而具体的衔接和连贯手段又是特殊风格的表现,因此这些具体手段的转换可以遵循这样的原则:如实"照搬"是最佳方法,稍作变换是其次的选择,大加改动乃是最后一着.本文通过实例的分析说明这个原则.

Text contrast between English and Chinese literary writings should, as one of its functions, contribute to the perfection of their mutual translations. Since in text contrast we take identical source/target texts as ideal materials, cohesive and coherent forms as generally common to both languages, and specific cohesive and coherent devices as presentation of a distinctive style, the bilingual transfer of these devices can follow the principle: identically equivalent translation as the best way, slight change as the secondary choice, and great alteration as the last resort, which is illustrated by examples in the article.
