正确理解
二.正确理解过程:
• 分析句子的结构框架弄清各部分之间的语法关系;
•

和 两个分句 “that he always kept in the upper left
pocket of his waistcoat the little book”和 “in which he
put down his engagements”组成。
• (2) 分析各部分在整个框架中的语义关系;
• 第一个分句是“learning”的宾语从句,第二个分句是定语
从句,修饰限定 “book”。
• (3) 根据汉语表达习惯将全文译出:
• 我认识他已20年之久,知道他马甲左上方的那个口袋里,
总是放着一个小本本,里面写着他的约会安排。

2.2.2 如何实现正确理解
• Part One 理论
• 实现正确理解的方法:进行语言分析,包
括语义分析,语境分析和语用分析。
• 1. 语义分析(Semantic Analysis):说明处在
一定语境中、按照一定次序排列的词项之
间的关系,探索语项的意义。尽量把握源
出语的全部意义,是翻译成败的关键。
目录
2.2.2 如何实现正确理解
• 首先,必须注意词的概念意义(即词的本意)和
关联意义(即词的转意) 例如:
• (1)Seat oneself in a wooden chair 坐在木椅
里 (本意)
• (2)accept a university chair
同意在大学里
执教 (转意)
• (3)chair the board meeting
主持董事会
(转意)
• (4)condemned to the chair
被处电刑 (转
意)

如何实现正确理解
• 2. 把握意义关系(Sense Relation),特别注意同
义与反义、褒义与贬义、多义与歧义等关系。如:
第一组 (一词多义)
• a. I’ll be back in a couple of days 我几天后回来。
• b. It was said that they would back the plain. 据
说他们会支持这个计划。
• c. It’s the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.
最后添加的一根稻草压断了骆驼的脊梁。
目录
2.2.2
如何实现正确理解
• 第二组 (褒义与贬义)
• Hans was too obviously flattering the gentleman
by saying he was the most courageous man he
had ever seen. 汉斯对那位先生说他是他所见的
最勇敢的人。他明显是阿谀奉承。(贬义)
• Mr. Brown felt greatly flattered when he received
the invitation to deliver a lecture.
• 布朗先生收到邀请他作演讲的邀请函感到受宠若
惊。

• 3. 了解文化特性、历史演变、社会发展和技术进
步的影响。例如:
• a. “Greek and Latin are all English to me,” said
Oscar Wilde.
• “希腊语和拉丁语对我来说都很容易,” 奥斯卡·王尔
德说。
• 王尔德是英国著名剧作家。他反用习语It is Greek
to me (这对我太困难),将希腊语和拉丁语比作自
己的母语(英语),言下之意是“不难”。

There are cattle in the fields, but we sit
down to beef.
在地里放牧的是牛,我们在餐桌上吃的是

色的谎言。)
lie 原意为怀有恶意的谎言,但后来获得了一种
没有恶意的新解释,为了区分二者,人们称前
者为black lie,后者为white lie.
Stabilization(稳定法), neutralization (中和作
用),chain reaction(连锁反应) 等词语的用法都
是技术进步的结果。

• a. He wrote his 12th novel at the ripe age of 85.
•
他85岁高龄时完成了12部小说。
•
其中ripe 不作mature 或full grown 解,而是advanced in
years 之意。
• b. –-“Well, old boy, ” said the visitor, “ it’s nice to see
you up and about.”
• --- “Up, yes, “ the patient said, “but about, no—at least
mot much.”
• ――“喂,老兄,”探视者说。“见到你起来走动走动,
真高兴。”
• ――“是能下床了,”病人说,“若说走动,还不行
―――至少还不太行。”

如何实现正确理解
• 二、语境分析 (Analysis of Context of Situation)
• 在翻译中我们从词典中寻找词语的对等意思,但
词典给我们的常常是其基本义,或对号入座的释
义,无法直接用在译文中,应该根据语境来确定
这句话或词语怎么说。
•
所谓语境分析,一是指分析语言内部的上下文
关系(通过语言环境分析),二是分析话语与经
验世界的关系(通过非语言环境分析)。

如何实现正确理解
上下文分析
– 分析一词与周围的关系 如:

lost as a politician without principles.

如何实现正确理解
确认一短语是否是一个语义整体。
例如,下述话语中的a good table 就有其独立的含义,
它受上下文的制约;倘若不假思索地译为“一张质地优
良的桌子“,势必令人捧腹大笑。
――“I don’t know what you do with your brass,” said
Mr. Scurridge.
―― “ I spend it on you,” she said, “Always a good
table, you must have. Never anything short.
――“不知你掖着臭钱干什么用,” 史力卡先生说。

• 在今天的纽约证券交易所大厅里,经纪人无不神

目录
2.2.2
如何实现正确理解
• 2. 非语境关系:指话语及其组成部分与文化和自然环境有
关方面的各种关系,以及人类社会中人们之间的相互关系;
也就是语言与经验世界的关系。
• (1)研究话语发生时的整个情况。例如:
• It It’s freezing cold here.
• 此 这句话可能有下列几种意思:
– 作为直接话语,仅仅提供信息,向在场的听话者说明
那里太冷;
– 作为简介言语行动,表示请求、希望听者打开暖气或
给炉子加点煤
– 作为反语,抱怨说话的地方太热。
目录
2.2.2
如何实现正确理解
• (2)注意肢体语言的作用。
• 眼神、手势、点头、摇头等都有传情达意的作用。例如:
• “You think we might” –he glanced at the hut-“have
been like this—you and I?”
• She shook her head.
• “你觉得我们――你和我,‘他扫了一眼那间小屋,“或
许像这样?”她摇了摇头。
• 文中的 “他”和“她”原来是一对情人,但后来她嫁给
了小屋的主人。“他”扫一眼小屋给“像这样”作了解释,
“她”摇头说明了她的不同意见。

如何实现正确理解
• 三、语用分析(Pragmatic Analysis)
• 所谓语用分析,是通过语用学的思考,对
语言的交际意义进行综合分析的方法之一,
旨在了解和确定讲话人与所讲话语之间的
关系,或者说在把握语言符号与使用语言
符号的人的关系。这种关系常常表现为简
化人的感情、态度、情绪、意念等。
目录
2.2.2

•
•
如何实现正确理解
1、把讲话人当作言语行动的参与者
讲话人不仅传达信息,而且还表达一定的
态度,赞成或反对,请求或命令,威胁或
劝诱,褒扬或贬抑,推荐或命令,等等,
其中,有的成分见诸字面有的则埋藏于字
里行间。

Motivation)

语中寻找对等物。如:

弄清讲话人的意图,进而决定表达方式。
–
确认but, even, and 等词的语用意义。 如:
Harry is a professor, but can’t spell.
哈利是教授,奇怪的是他不会拼写。
其中but表示惊奇,甚至遗憾。
Even Max tried on the pants.
甚至马克思也试穿了这条裤子。
其中even包含着also和too的意义,但后两者并无前者的言外之意
――出乎意料感。
And outtalked to him this way after all he’d done for you.
他不也是为了你吗?你怎么竟然这样跟人家讲话呢?
这里的and表示惊讶、不满或气愤。
注意something, anything, nothing 的特殊意义

了整个街区。(译成结果状语)
