“八戒”英语翻译技巧之 八戒

英语自学网

　　八、戒另起炉灶，走失精气神
　　译文要力求其“信”，尽可能契合汉语原来句子的气势、情绪和结构。
　　例如，元朝人王实甫写下了《西厢记》，张雪静改编后并作了翻译——
　　掏出张生那封信，回头环视见梳妆台上的梳妆盒，眼睛一转，心里说有了，将信放了进去，合上盖时故意压了一角露在外面。
　　Rose took out Zhang's letter, she thought, “It would be better to put it in her make-up case, and letter find it herself.” So she put the letter in the case, leaving a corner of it sticking out, so that it would be quickly noticed.
　　不难看出，译文与原文相去甚远，互不吻合，成了“两张皮”。
　　你已经死在过深的怨愤里了吗？
