[1] 翻译题的做题策略及练习
答案和详解
另外,有些汉语里的词语如果译成英文反而会影响英语修饰效果,必须在译成英文时省去。如:"活到老,学到老"应该怎么翻译呢?
译文1:If we could live an old age, we should keep learning at the old age.
译文2:We‘d better keep on learning even though we are old.
译文3:Live and learn.
上面三种译法,大家认为哪一种可取呢?前两种是逐字翻译,将"老"字译出来,虽然说理解上不受影响,但总觉得说话拖泥带水,松散无力。"活到老,学到老"是表示一种坚持不懈的精神,即:人无时无刻要学习。译文3没有把"老"译出来,看似不忠于原文,但却充分传达了原文鼓励大家不懈努力,坚持学习的精神,而且语言生动简练,表达有力度,也符合英语习惯。所以说,这句用减词法恰到好处。
