汉语流水句英译中信息结构的重建策略

英汉语言的信息结构在复句层面有显著差异,如何重建译文信息结构是汉英语言转换中的重要内容。在汉语流水句的英译过程中,译者首先需要根据源语行文的语义关系和上下文语境确立英译文的信息核心和句子主干,然后借助英语中的各种短语、非谓语动词、独立主格结构或从句等语言形式建构译文的次要信息,使译文句法结构紧凑、语义层次分明,增强译文的可读性和“地道性”。

源语透过效应下流水句英译文本的意合性特征

在汉语流水句的英译过程中,添加恰当的关联词语是最常见的译文语篇建构方式,但在“源语透过效应”的作用下,意合现象在英译文本中普遍存在。意合的无标记性关联手段与形合的标记性连贯手段在流水句的英译过程中具有等效的语篇建构功能。“源语透过效应”使源语的语言特征无形中转移到译语语言中,使形合的英语文本呈现汉语特有的意合性特征。

英汉翻译中的归化与异化策略对比研究

归化与异化两大翻译策略,一直是翻译学研究的焦点。归化策略通过适应目标文化习惯来提高文本的可读性和流畅性,而异化策略则通过保留原文的语言和文化特性来丰富目标语言并促进跨文化理解。这两种策略各有优势,归化策略更适合商业文档或教学材料等,而异化策略则更适合文学或历史文本。选择哪种策略取决于翻译目的、文本类型和受众反应。本次研究探索了不同策略在不同文化背景下的影响,以及如何平衡归化和异化等问题。
