資深自由譯者的建議——梁瀟方
作者: 張小希CATTI 曾經接待過一個法國鋼琴家。鋼琴家一下車就直奔練琴室。他告訴我他每天至少要練琴六七個小時。我們在臺下看人家彈琴好像毫不費力,但是人家是每天練琴至少六七個小時,練了幾十年才有那水平。吃這碗飯就是整天和鋼琴泡在一起。
同樣,如果你想做翻譯,要吃這碗飯也應該整天和英語泡在一起,把學習英語變成生活的一部分,變成一種本能。每天至少學習英語七八個小時。聽新聞,閱讀英文報刊,看英語書籍,看英語電影和美劇,查字典。。
如果想提高新聞和美劇的聽力能力,不能只聽不學習,或者只看不學習。否則提高不大。
幾點建議:
1.聽新聞對著文字來聽,看到任何單詞都查字典。
2.看美劇和英語電影也選擇有正確英文字幕的來看。看到任何單詞也要查字典。沒有英語字幕的做為“泛看”材料,不要看中文字幕,對學習沒有幫助。3.選擇以對話為主的美劇和電影來看
4.閱讀一些關于idioms, slang和phrasal verbs和英語諺語的字典,這對理解英美報刊和美劇等都有幫助

做為一名職業口譯,什么樣的背景知識都不嫌多。
而且對于一名職業口譯而言,學習是終身的事情。不是做過同聲傳譯就可以不再學習。假如你想成為一名同聲口譯,卻不知道該如果去做,一個最簡單的方法就是開始聽各種資料,看各種英語DVD。道理很簡單,連聽都聽不懂,還怎么做同傳呀?
苦練聽力和口語是做口譯的基礎。但是練習聽力只是第一步。走好第一步,下面的路就會容易走一些。
很多人想做同傳都是因為聽說報酬高,但是很少人愿意踏踏實實去學習,去提高自己的水平。總以為有什么捷徑可以走。
如果有,我也不會定下每年讀多少本書,看多少DVD的計劃了?
不要問我做同傳詞匯量需要多少。作為一名職業口譯,只有你不認識的單詞,沒有你用不上的單詞。尤其是做自由職業口譯,你每次涉及的領域都可能不同。所以,學習是終身的事情。你必須享受學習才能在學習中獲得最大的滿足,汲取最多的營養,才能在實際應用中體驗辛勤勞動后豐收的喜悅。
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.Beautifully stated As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.You'll fight with your best friend.You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.有志者事竟成,破釜沉舟,百二秦關終屬楚;苦心人天不負,臥薪嘗膽,三千越甲可吞吳。很多人問我,口譯能不能自學。答案是可以的。但是要有超人的毅力。自學有兩大弊端:
1.自己有什么缺點,有什么地方做得不夠好,沒有人給你指出。2.自學容易三天打魚,兩天曬網。
我常和我的學生說,“不怕水平不高,就怕不知道自己水平不高,不思改進.“ 所以,自學的時候要有很強的自律性。安排好學習計劃,每天雷打不動地執行。學習的過程可能艱苦,有時會有點枯燥,但是如果能堅持下來,the results in the long term can be spectacular!
人要有點固執,要學會在不全中求全。我經常告誡自己:與其和別人較勁,不如和自己較勁,這有意義得多。
王洛勇,第一個登上百老匯舞臺的亞洲人。他說:“一個人的理想和追求,隨著經驗的積累,會像洗照片一樣逐漸地、慢慢地變得越來越清晰,并不是我一開始就想去百老匯表演,與其說想做什么樣的人,不如說選擇了做什么樣的人更重要。
大量地閱讀各種題材的英文原版書對于提高英語的整體水平確實非常有幫助。
建議有志成為高級口譯的朋友制定一個讀書計劃。至少讀一百本非小說類的英語原版書。什么題材的都行: 管理、旅游、生活、社會、文化、歷史。。英文報刊和八卦雜志也可以讀一讀。在校的學生可以充分利用圖書館。已經畢業的朋友可以到城市的圖書館辦個借書證。
先做學習狂再作工作狂。有些人抱怨看過的書都不記得。
這個沒有關系。其實你不停看書就是一個潛移默化的積累過程。讀完20本原版書后,你會發現你閱讀的速度越來越快,理解能力也比以前好了。外語就是要不停地學,不停地用才能保持和提高水平。
不停地閱讀,不停地看英文電影,不停地用英文寫作和交談。。
”Whatever you watch or read, study something every day.It's essential that you keep your mind open and alert.“Beverlysills The harder I work, the luckier I get.-Garyplayer ”Love means never having to say you're sorry.“-Love Story
作為一名職業口譯員,知識面真的要非常廣。
我個人的體會是經濟,政治,科學,人文,地理,天文,歷史,藝術,什么方面的知識都可以用得上。
平時閱讀的時候,選擇材料也很重要。如果文章難度太大,單詞太多,很容易打擊積極性。開始的時候可以選擇一些難度適中的文章,循序漸進,才能漸入佳境。
在閱讀中學習是一種比較好的方法。在閱讀現代作品的時候,如果經常看到一些短語,證明這些短語是比較常用的。
如果只是看字典,很難驗證字典上的短語是否常用。所以很有必要閱讀大量的英文原版書。我曾經說過要把朗文字典從頭到尾看完,但是這不是我的首要任務,我只是有空的時候讀幾頁字典。大部分時間還是放在工作,閱讀英文原版書和看英文DVD上面。只有這樣才能培養出較全面的語言能力。很多人抱怨不知道英語作文該怎么寫。讀書這么少,表達能力不強,自然就無話可說。瘋狂閱讀和看英文DVD才是出路。
做自由職業者面臨的挑戰和壓力都很大。我的一位朋友也是自由職業口譯,他說,“做自由職業的,能堅持下來的都是強者。”
剛開始做一件事情的時候,你或許做得并不是很好,還有可能碰到很多困難和挫折,身邊的人或許并不支持,還有人會潑冷水,但是這些都不重要。關鍵是要堅持自己的信念,并且愿意付出,努力提高自己的水平。終有一天,成功會屬于你。
You're never a loser until you quit trying!
有的網友對我說,覺得閱讀的作用不是很大,進步不明顯。我告訴他不能太過急功近利,他現在所做的事情不是一兩個月能看得出效果的,但是如果他幾年內都能堅持學習,廣泛閱讀,他幾年后也一定會進步很大。
問題是很多人堅持了幾個星期或是幾個月就放棄了。
學習不要因為一時看不到進步就輕易放棄。
厚積才能薄發,功到自然成!
比較自虐,懶人勿看:)
如果你和我一樣既學英語又學法語,那么英語學累了可以學法語 抄單詞、抄句子抄累了可以聽錄音或做跟讀練習。朗讀課文。
可以看看中文報紙和雜志。如果要作翻譯,中文表達能力也要很強。
練習聽力練累了,可以練習閱讀。
看英語原版書看累了可以看英文DVD。看嚴肅、緊張的片子看累了可以看喜劇、搞笑片。比如,看一集《國家地理雜志》再看一集《老友記》(Friends)
可以聽古典音樂,聽外文歌。聽法語歌聽厭了聽英文歌。
可以干體力活、運動、跳舞或是出去散步。
自己練習口譯練累了可以看國務院新聞發布會的錄像,看別人做翻譯。
其實要學好英語需要有強烈的興趣和敏銳的觀察力。要能靜得下心來看書學習。
閱讀是提高寫作能力的基礎。如果英文寫作水平不高,不要浪費太多的時間去寫。應該把重點放在仔細閱讀上。
如果要做同聲傳譯員,這種同時做N件事情的能力也很重要。同聲傳譯員要一邊聽一邊說,邊看,有時候還要用手轉換頻道。
”Good preparation is half the battle.“
其實做同傳拼到最后是拼身體。不注意放松和調整身體,很容易垮掉。會議前的準備和身體狀況都直接影響表現。所以有時候不想接一些時間太緊,太專業的會議。
很多人都以為翻譯一去到會場就可以開口翻譯了。這是誤解。
如果是一般的話題,確實是一到會場就可以翻譯了。但是如果是涉及一些比較專業的東西,會議前的準備是至關重要的。會議發言人都是行內的專家,翻譯說出來的話要像專家說的一樣,確實不是一件容易的事情。
在會前短短的幾天時間內,翻譯必須學習該行業的一些基本知識,在短時間內要消化大量的信息,任務是艱巨的!
是不是覺得這些詞匯很枯燥?作為一名職業口譯員,只有你不認識的單詞,沒有用不上的單詞。枯燥也要學
我學習就是喜歡總結一些搭配和表達方法。學習人家地道的表達方法,這樣就不用自己瞎編了。我就是這樣從閱讀中學習寫作和翻譯的。
知識也是靠平時一點一點地積累。工作是一種積累,平時的學習也是一種積累。有時候一個人名,地名或是單位名都會成為翻譯的關鍵。
所以,我提倡有空的時候要廣泛閱讀,積累各種知識。
果你學習英語把復讀機用壞了,或者看英文DVD把光驅弄壞了,或是把字典給翻爛了,你應該感到很自豪。因為這是你的努力的痕跡。這種硬件的磨損實際上是一種成就。
大家也可以找一部自己喜歡的英文電影來反復模仿。模仿是一種比較枯燥的練習,所以最好找自己喜歡的電影或是連續劇來模仿,這樣反復看也不會悶。
選擇閱讀材料的時候要注意材料的難度。循序漸進。最好不要選擇一頁里有超過30個生詞的閱讀材料。10-20個生詞為佳。生詞太多很容易有畏難情緒。
一定要擁有一本同義詞字典才能解決困惑。但是最好擁有一本全英字典,察看單詞的英文定義。勤查字典是關鍵。
用全英字典也有利營造良好的語言環境,幫助你養成用英文思維的習慣。
我這幾天看了很多英語連續劇,結果連自己想東西,自言自語的時候也用英語。學習英語要得就是這種完全投入的境界。
很多人,包括英美人士,都問我有沒有出過國。我從來沒有出過國門。不過我覺得自己卻擁有良好的語言環境:
1.用全英字典,并把閱讀字典當成樂趣 2.不停地看英語原版書
3.狂看英文電影和美國連續劇,并經常跟著DVD的字幕做跟讀練習4.經常聽VOA 5.經常和外國朋友通郵件和電話
6.工作中接觸的多數都是英美國家的人 7.中學和大學都有外教
8.生活在廣州這樣咨詢發達、開明、寬容的城市
有志于考高級翻譯學院的網友應該每天至少讀三篇New York Times 或是 Economist上面的文章,并把所有生詞都查一遍。
因為高級翻譯學院筆試的文章的難度和New York Times,Economist上面的差不多。
堅持每天閱讀New York Times,半年下來閱讀能力一定會加強。
Every man for himself1962)
Ciminal Minds的一個episode引用了林肯的一句話
”And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.It's the life in your years.“--Abraham Lincoln
讓我想起自己說過的一句話,“生命的意義不在于它的長度,而在于它的密度。” 和林肯說的是同一個道理。
如果你現在有工作,但是還有其他沒有實現的夢想,不要把所有精力都放在賺錢上。應該留點時間提高自己,追求自己的夢想,這樣才能夠改變自己不喜歡的現狀。
在你追求自己夢想的時候,不要去羨慕或妒忌別人。踏踏實實經營自己的夢想,總有一天會走出自己的路。
如果想當同聲傳譯員,最好把自己當成特工(special agent)一樣來培訓。培養自己的斗志、觀察能力、注意力、聽力、記憶能力、表達能力、反應速度、忍耐力、體力和毅力。
如果想提高新聞和美劇的聽力能力,不能只聽不學習,或者只看不學習。否則提高不大。
幾點建議:
1.聽新聞對著文字來聽,看到任何單詞都查字典。
2.看美劇和英語電影也選擇有正確英文字幕的來看。看到任何單詞也要查字典。沒有英語字幕的做為“泛看”材料,不要看中文字幕,對學習沒有幫助。3.選擇以對話為主的美劇和電影來看
4.閱讀一些關于idioms, slang和phrasal verbs和英語諺語的字典,這對理解英美報刊和美劇等都有幫助
Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better.我曾經建議想做口譯的朋友多讀非小說類的英語書籍。有網友問什么是“非小說” 只要不是小說,都屬于“非小說”。英文報紙,雜志,人物傳記,公司發跡史,人文地理,社科,管理,勵志等方面的書籍都屬于“非小說” 上面這本書也屬于“非小說”
小說的行文結構和口頭表達語距離比較大。
而且小說中描寫樹葉怎樣搖擺,人物怎么走路等詞語,在做口譯的時候很少會用得上。
非小說(non-fiction)的句法和結構和口頭語都比較接近。同時,也可以通過閱讀非小說類的英語書籍來拓寬自己的知識面,提高自己的寫作和表達能力。做為翻譯,平時可以多看一些外國人寫的關于中國文化的英語書,這樣可以學到比較地道的表達方法。看多幾本這樣的書,自己也可以用英文向人介紹中國文化了。
扎·羅姆布是匈牙利著名女翻譯家,通過多年摸索和學習,她通曉英、俄、法、漢、日、西、意、波等十多種語言,堪稱外語奇才。為了回答雪片一般飛來的函詢,她把自己的豐富經驗概括為簡明易懂的十條,對于每個外語學習者都有普遍意義。
堅持每天學習,哪怕擠出10分鐘也可以,早晨則是大好時機。
根據人的記憶特點,在學習總時間相同的條件下,多次短期強化的效果要勝過一次長期學習。如每隔3天記30分鐘單詞,不如每天記10分鐘來得鞏固。早晨,人剛起床,腦子里尚未涌入雜亂的信息,學習時沒有“前攝抑制”。同樣,如在晚上臨睡前學習,由于其后沒有信息輸入的干擾,即無“后攝抑制”,效果也好。
學厭了可變換一下學習方式或形式。
經常使用一種方式容易使人感到單調、乏味,甚至疲倦,即使毅力堅強者也不無例外。倘若經常變換一下學習方式,改變閱讀為朗讀,變書寫為對話,變聽磁帶為看電視等,可使學習者在新鮮感中吸取知識。
不要脫離上下文孤立地死記硬背。
對于青少年來說,其機械性記憶力較強;對于成年人而言,其理解記憶力較強。
只有理解了的東西,才能更深刻地感覺它,乃至記住它。聯系上下文,正是強化理解性記憶的有效方法。
隨時記下并背熟那些常用的句型。
學習外語不要胡子眉毛一把抓,而要抓住牛鼻子棗主要矛盾。從外語的結構來看,掌握常用句型十分關鍵。句型中既有單詞,又有語法,既有句法,又有習慣。
盡可能“心譯”接觸到的東西,如一閃而過的廣告,偶爾聽到的話語等。
“心譯”接觸的事物,有利于擴大知識面,提高快速反應能力,使自己能迅速地從腦庫中提取單詞、語法、句法,發現不足立即補充。
只有經過老師修改過的東西才值得牢記,也就是說,要記那些肯定正確無誤的東西。
學習外語,不但要通過正面教材掌握正確的東西,還要通過“反面教材”學會避免錯誤的東西。所以,除了認真學習老師修改的東西,了解自己的錯誤外,多看一些錯誤示例也很有必要。
抄錄和記憶句型和習慣用語時,要用單數第一人稱。
學習外語最終是為了應用,進一步說,是為我所用。而為我所用,當然要用單數第一人稱了。否則,當你和外國人交流時,頻頻出現第二人稱或第三人稱,豈不怪哉。
外語好比碉堡,必須同時從四面八方圍攻。
讀報、聽廣播、看外語電影、聽外語講座、攻讀課本等。
要敢于說外語。
不要怕出錯誤,要請別人糾正,不要怕難為情,更不要泄氣。
要堅信自己一定能達到目的,堅信自己有堅強的毅力和學好外語的才能。
美國思想家愛默生說過:自信是成功的第一要訣。如果你不相信自己能學好外語,你就肯定學不好外語,你就干脆別學外語。一旦開始學外語,就要相信我有毅力,篤信我會記住,堅信我能掌握,確信我必成功!
立志做高級口譯的朋友可以多看Discovery Channel, National Geographic,和BBC的一些視頻節目。比看美劇對口譯有幫助。因為美劇和電影主要是圍繞著日常生活,相對簡單。
要擴大知識面和學習一些比較好的表達方法,還是應該多聽VOA,BBC,看看Discovery Channel, National Geographic,和BBC的一些視頻節目。
”很多中國人學了許多年英文都不能開口講英文。原因有很多,但是我認為主要是學的時候沒有注重口語的練習。學得不得法。在這里主要是談談自己的學習心得。
我從初一開始學英文時就覺得英文特別好聽,當時學習條件并不是很好,沒有錄音帶可聽,更沒有什么復讀機。所幸的是老師的發音也不是很差。所以開始學的時候沒有染上特別重的地方口音,所以后來自己跟著錄音帶練習語音的時候糾正也比較容易。
初中學英文的時候每天早上都朗讀英文,每篇課文都能背。每次考試都在95分以上。一開始開好了頭,有成就感,對英文的興趣就保持下來。所謂的比別人有天賦只不過是比別人勤奮,比別人對英文更感興趣而已。(李陽老師說:“成功就是比別人更付出多一點點,更加勤奮,更加刻苦!”)
中國不是一個說英語的國家,所以沒有一個比較好的語言環境。但是現在學英語的條件比以前好很多了。網絡、電視、電影、英語學校和來華的英語國家人士都可以成為我們學習英語的資源。
對于很多人了來說,課本仍然是主要的學習資料。很多人手頭的的課本五花八門。提高英語的關鍵是有效地利用手頭的資料,而不是教材越多越好。如果你能把所有教材都消化,那當然是越多越好了。(李陽老師說:“有限材料的無限重復就是學好英語的秘訣!”)學習的時候應該記一些固定搭配,固定說話,背誦一些有用的句子。(制作句子財富本,句子中心論)
有些人說口語只要能說出來,人家能明白就行了。語法不用那么計較。確實,交流的重點是把意思說清楚,但是語法還是可以同時兼顧的。
我舉個簡單的例子。在英語角如果有老外,旁邊肯定是圍了很多中國人。大家最常問人家的就是人家從哪里來。這么簡單的一句話還有很多人說不好。
我經常聽到有人說,“Where are you come from?”
這句話有語法錯誤,正確的說法是: “Where are you from?” “Where do you come from?” 怎么樣能不說錯?把正確的說法記住就行了.(中醫的扶正祛邪理論!)就這么簡單!記不住怎么辦?再記,沒有其他辦法。(重復重復再重復,重復是學習之母!)但是如果你滿足于說一口蹩腳的英文,那就算了。
買英語教材的時候最好把錄音帶也買了。(錄音帶是世界上最標準最便宜最好的老師!)自己看著英語書,自以為懂得怎么讀了是不夠的。經常跟著錄音帶朗讀是糾正發音,提高聽力和口語的一個很有效的方法。(李陽瘋狂英語33條軍規之第一,第二,第三條!)
讀高中的時候買了一個Walk-Man收聽教育臺的英文節目。當時也沒有課本,有一個加拿大英語教學節目放到晚上11點多,所以每個晚上都是聽著節目入睡。那時候就覺得美式發音很好聽,所以開始刻意模仿.(模仿是學好英語發音的關鍵一步!)
我到現在還經常跟著《英語900句》的錄音帶和VOA的mp3來跟讀。一聽到標準的英語我就覺得特別動聽,忍不住跟著讀.(愛上英語的聲音,和她建立親密感!)
除了學校的課本,還可以買一些口語書。下面是我認為比較好的口語書:
1.《英語900句》基礎篇 2.《五分鐘學英語》
3.托福聽力材料對話部分也可以成為很好口語學習資料
4.《標準美國語》1-6冊 Dr.Anthony J.Chen 著-這是我見過的比較好的口語教材。6冊書每本價格20元,絕對超值。這套口語書主要是由句子組成,沒有對話。句子按照情景歸類。如果能把這6冊書的句子都能脫口而出(李陽老師提倡的學習英語的最高境界!),日常交流絕對不成問題。甚至連看英文電影也能懂七八成。最好把錄音帶也買了。
呵呵,我可沒有和作者勾結起來做廣告呀。這套書市面不是很多。我介紹給一個朋友,她跑了北京幾家書店才找到。我自己的那套是在廣州天河購書中心買的,但是現在好像沒有貨了。
這些書賣不到也沒關系。其實只要你有恒心和興趣,哪怕就是捧著一本朗文英文字典也可以學好口語.(當今社會英語資料是不缺乏的,缺乏的是決心和毅力!)
去英語角也是練口語的一個途徑,但是不要對英語角指望太高。如果是連開口的勇氣都沒有,那么可以從英語角開始.(中國人與中國人交流的一方,說來說去都是中國式英語,不會有太多的進步!)
和老外交談是可以提高英語,但是問題是人家不一定有時間來教你。能出國泡一段時間當然是最好。但是如果你性格比較內向,不善交談,那可能出國對你的幫助也不會很大.(自己不去改變,美國總統教你也是枉然!)
沒有老外的幫忙,口語一樣可以學好.(不出國照樣可以說一口流利標準的美國英語!)秘密就是狂看有正確英文字幕的英語連續劇。(看英文影視作品是學習英語的良好方法!)
一般是正版的DVD才有英文字幕。在街邊買來的5元的盜版DVD通常只有中文字幕,而且那些中文翻譯通常是錯漏百出。盜版DVD有的也有英文字幕,但是有時候英文字幕都對不上電影,是其他電影的字幕。
我買了不少正版的英語電視連續劇DVD。雖然比盜版碟貴,但是我覺得對自己學英語有幫助,該花的錢還是要花。看了上百張有字幕的DVD,每張DVD大概有3-4集連續劇,我覺得自己的聽力和口語都有很大提高。有些片子我反復看,一邊看一邊跟著字幕讀。這樣下來,語音語速都大有改進。而且也對西方文化和生活有了更深的了解。如果經濟上不是很寬裕,可以只買一兩套DVD反復地看,反復地練。效果也很好。正版DVD也不像一般人想象的那么貴,一張DVD開價10元左右,砍砍價還可以更低。在音像店試過有正確英文字幕再買。
除了看口語書和看碟外,還可以買一些口語字典、成語字典和俚語字典。書面的學習是口頭表達的基礎.(堅持寫英文日記,對提高口語也是非常有幫助的)
平時可以多看看各種書籍,擴大知識面才能言之有物。要不見到老外只能問人家,“你從哪里來呀?”“喜不喜歡中國菜呀?”“會不會用筷子?”這樣無關痛癢的話。(深入的交流更需要博覽群書,自己深刻了,才能讓別人深刻,這是無法裝出來的)"

廣告英漢語的特點與翻譯原則
摘要:
廣告是推銷商品及其公司的重要宣傳手段,因此在經濟全球化的今天廣告翻譯就顯得尤為重要。本文指出廣告英漢語有其獨特的詞匯與語言特點,并由此特展開討論,進而提出廣告翻譯的原則。
關鍵詞:廣告翻譯;詞匯特點;語言特點;翻譯原則
引言
廣告是消費者獲取商品經濟信息的重要來源,其形成和傳播的媒體多種多樣,目的在于說服消費者接受其產品或服務。隨著經濟全球化的日益加強,商品貿易的國際往來也日趨頻繁。為了搶占國際市場,向國外推銷國內產品的競爭也顯現出前所未有的激烈程度,而廣告是推銷商品及其公司的重要宣傳手段,因此在當今這個跨文化交際日益頻繁的世界里,如何正確地翻譯異域廣告使之適應于目標語的大眾需求就顯得尤為重要了。而廣告中體現企業文化底蘊和產品特色的廣告語言確切地說才是真正的語言精華,因此本文結合大量廣告實例探討廣告英漢語的特點,并且進一步說明廣告翻譯的原則。
一. 廣告英漢語的詞匯特點
英詞廣告中出現頻率很高的詞是形容詞以及形容詞的比較級或最高級,如 “new”,“good”,“wonderful”,“amazing”,“the most”,“the best”,而漢語廣告中的四字結構數量很大,言簡意賅。在廣告原文明白易懂,表層意思和深層意思基本一致的情況下,可根據原文的上下文和所傳達的信息選用適當的詞進行翻譯,一般以直譯為主。
例一:The new digital era.數碼新時代。(索尼影碟機)
例二:Lucky Chocolate Toffe Brings Luck.幸福太妃糖,幸福地獲得。
例一采用直譯法,“new” 一詞體現了英語廣告中常用形容詞的特點;例二雖然沒有完全采用直譯法,但“lucky”一詞同樣體現了英語廣告中常用形容詞的特點,而且“lucky”和“luck”突出了消費者的精神需要,即對幸運的渴求,因此更能吸引消費者。
例三:Your trip can always be a carefree experience as our meticulous services keep you feel at home.Innovative decor, well-equipped guest rooms, elegant dining venues, attentive services and friendly smile…Only when you visit the Windsors can you discover how considerate we are!(賓館廣告)您的旅行可以一直是無憂無慮的,這是因為,我們周到的服務會使您感到賓至如歸。富有創意的裝飾,設備良好的客房,環境優雅的餐廳,細心的服務和友善的微笑??只 有當您光臨溫莎公寓時,您才會感覺到我們做得是多么細致入微!
例四:金杯牌汽床墊工藝先進,結構新穎,造型美觀,款式繁多,舒適大方,攜帶方便。
The technological design of the “Golden Cup” brand air-filled bed cushions is advanced with novel structure, beautiful shape and various patterns.They are comfortable and convenient to carry.例三這則廣告依據英語的詞序直接翻譯而來,譯文用了直譯法,既保留了原文內容又保留了原文形式,能夠在很大程度上再現原廣告的風格,有明白易懂的特點,而且英文廣告多采用形容詞,譯文則多是四字詞語,言簡意賅;例四中的漢語廣告用六個四字結構的詞語并列突顯出產品的特點,通俗易懂且文字對仗符合漢語廣告的特點。
二. 廣告英漢語的語言特點
廣告的功能在于宣傳產品、吸引大眾注意力、推銷所需,一則優秀的廣告必須做到吸引眼球,具有說服力,給人以深刻的印象。要達到這一目的,語言是不可或缺的手段。口語化、簡潔易懂、形象生動的廣告語言使人感到親切,可以在很短的時期內把它看完,容易打動讀者,使其留下深刻印象。下面本文就從三個方面來討論廣告英漢語的語言特點。
1.口語化
廣告語言只有通俗易懂才更有利于產品及其品牌的推廣,而口語化的表達能夠在短時間內讓人產生親切感,容易產生共鳴,引發消費者的購買欲望,從而增強廣告的說服力。
例一:用了,就知道離不開它。(超能洗衣粉)
由于洗衣粉屬于日化用品,所以使用口語化的表達就非常符合產品的定位。廣告語無需借用華麗的語言給產品罩上光環,而是用最樸實的語言拉近產品和消費者之間的距離,介紹切實的使用體驗,更提升了廣告的可信度。
例二:Getting places in the business world is easier if your banker is there to meet you.這樣一則銀行宣傳的廣告語選用了非常口語化的措辭,如 Getting places in the business world(在商界占一席之地),我們知道要想在商界獲得成功是非常不容易的事情,按照對詞語涵義的解析,obtain比get要更合適,可以表現出在商界立足的不易。但是本廣告語恰恰棄用了obtain,采用通俗口語化的get,淡化在商界立足的難度,以此更襯托出銀行服務的作用。
2.簡潔易懂
簡練的語言使廣告一目了然,容易讓受眾記住從而接受,進而傳播,以此達到推銷產品的目的。因此,廣告語大多以最精簡的形式出現在大眾面前。
例如:Where miracle happens.---奇跡發生的地方。
這是一則很多人都鐘愛的賽事NBA的廣告語。這是一條短語式廣告,語言簡練而醒目,抓住了人們渴望奇跡的心理,同時也凸顯出NBA球員超強的能力、素質以及賽事的精彩激烈,令人對之期待倍增。
3.形象生動
形象生動的語言使廣告更加醒目,令人過目難忘,從而達到推銷產品及品牌的效果。形象生動的語言往往通過對多種修辭方法的運用實現。修辭是語言的精華,許多廣告成功的訣竅在于運用各種修辭方法,常見的有比喻、雙關、擬人、排比、壓韻、夸張等等。
例一:Life is a journey.Travel it well.(暗喻)人生如旅程,應盡情游歷。(United Airlines 聯合航空)
此廣告通過使用暗喻手法,把人生比作旅程,表面意思是應該盡情游歷人生,實際是表達了在聯合航空您能享受到一流的服務,讓您的飛行旅途猶如游歷快樂的人生。
例二:Coke refreshes you like no other can.(雙關)
本句廣告語利用can在英語中的多重含義達到雙關的目的,既可以把它當作情態動詞,表示能做到某事的能力,又可以把它作為名詞,表示聽、罐,雙重含義都強化了一個概念:該品牌飲料能帶來無與倫比的清爽感覺。
例三:Unlike me,my Rolex never needs a rest.(擬人)和我不一樣,我的勞力士全年無休。(勞力士手表)
這則廣告通過把產品擬人化,讓人感覺該品牌手表就像一位朋友,既親密又忠誠,全年無休毫無怨言地守護著主人,與此同時又是在表明該產品的質量值得信賴。
例四:Take Toshiba, take the world.(頭韻、排比)擁有東芝,擁有世界(Toshiba 電子)
這則東芝電子的廣告運用頭韻、排比的修辭方法使句子讀起來朗朗上口,一目了然,令人過目難忘,從而達到推銷產品及品牌的效果。
除了以上提到的幾種修辭,還有夸張、反語、壓韻等很多修辭手法都能在實際應用中起到意想不到的效果。不過無論以什么方式,最終的目的都是給人留下深刻的印象,達到推銷產品的目的。
三. 廣告翻譯的原則
漢英廣告有其獨特的詞匯和語言特點,因此廣告的翻譯也就和普通文體的翻譯有所不同。廣告的目的決定了其翻譯仍然應該具有廣告效應,因此,在進行忠實翻譯的同時應該兼顧到廣告語言的特征,做到靈活處理,使譯文簡潔流暢,形象生動。
1.忠實原則
忠實原則是任何文體翻譯的最基本的準則,對廣告翻譯猶是如此。在翻譯廣告時很多時候我們也可以嚴格地忠實于原文,并且也能夠取得很好的廣告效果。比如:
例一:Let’s make things better.(Philips)
讓我們做得更好。
例二:Challenge the limits(Samsung)
挑戰極限。
這兩則廣告所采用的方法就是嚴格忠實于原文的直譯,從詞匯的選擇上我們可以看到是一一對應;從句法上來說,兩則廣告的譯文和原文一樣,都是采用的祈使句;從文體風格上說,例1 中“let’s”所表達出來的口語色彩在譯文中得到了很好的體現,而例2 中原文堅定有力的語氣在譯文中通過使用四字短語得到了很好的保留。
但是,廣告是一種非常特殊的文體,廣告效果是否達到要看廣告是否得到受眾的認同。而一則成功的廣告就是已經被大眾所接受和認可了的。要想把一則好的中文或英文廣告翻譯成英語或中文,并且也要達到同樣的廣告效果就要考慮一系列復雜的因素,其中最重要的是文化的因素。比如說我國早年生產“鳳凰”牌自行車,在國內銷量很好,不僅因為自行車的質量優異、造型美觀,還因為“鳳凰”在中國文化中意味著“龍鳳呈祥”、“吉祥如意”之意,符合了消費者企盼吉祥的心理。但當“鳳凰”牌自行車銷往國外時卻少有人問津,原因是商品名稱“鳳凰”翻譯成“Phoenix”,在西方人看來Phoenix意味著“鳳凰涅槃,浴火重生”,是不幸的象征,縱使產品質量再好,西方人也不愿購買。這里采用的直譯方法產生的實際效果與預期效果背道而馳,當西方人看到這些詞語的時候就讓他們產生不好的聯想,他們還會對廣告感興趣嗎?由此可以看出,在做廣告翻譯時,要忠實的不是原文字面上的意義,而是原文所具備的功能。因此在一些時候允許譯者做一定限度的創造。
2.通俗易懂
對于廣告的翻譯來說通俗易懂顯得更為重要,因為廣告的讀者具有更多的選擇空間和更大的選擇的權利,即使一個讀者是帶著真的想購買產品的目的來讀廣告的,那么一旦他發現該廣告深奧難懂,讀起來不知所云的話他不會付出太大的心力去體會廣告的內涵,他一定會轉向其他的廣告,更何況大多數的讀者并沒有購買產品的意愿,所以我們在翻譯廣告作品的時候一定要讓自己翻譯出來的英文句子符合英文的語法,顯得地道,4 這樣不僅會讓西方讀者容易懂,還會讓他們產生一種親切感。除了要注意到英語的語法規則,盡量使翻譯出來的句子顯得流暢易懂外,還有一個比較容易操作的捷徑就是仿寫,可以仿照本身就已經存在的英語廣告,例如:
紅枚相機新奉獻。My love’s like a Red Rose!
這則廣告的翻譯就來源于 Robert Burns 那首著名的詩 My love’s like a red ,red rose,通過改寫,使讀者讀了感到親切自然,更能接受廣告所宣傳的產品。
3.追求美感
廣告的翻譯是一門藝術,譯者往往要絞盡腦汁地使他們的翻譯,也就是一條新的廣告做到新穎、醒目、有說服力、并能展現出一種美來。一則表現了美的廣告則更容易得到讀者的認同,因此很多情況下廣告翻譯需要靈活處理。例如:
例一:Good to the last drop.滴滴香濃,意猶未盡。
這是某咖啡品牌的廣告及翻譯。漢語多使用四字短語使表達朗朗上口,具有美感,因此譯文既契合了原著的意境,又兼顧到譯文語言的表達習慣,讓人聽起來就感受到該咖啡給人帶來的舒適享受,激發購買欲望。此條廣告譯文就在忠實于原著的同時又加入了新的創作,使廣告充滿美感,不失為一則上乘的翻譯。
例二: 質量第一,顧客第一,信譽第一。
Quality first,Customers first,and Prestige first!這則廣告的原文采用中國人所喜愛的四字詞語,同時重復了三次“第一”,采用排比句,具有很強的氣勢,給人一種感覺就是該公司很有氣魄,一定會說到做到。而英文翻譯也使用了排比句,也同樣重復了三次first,不僅保留了原文的氣勢,也保留了原文的“形美”,便于讀者記憶,甚至能讓讀者“過目不忘”。
結論
由于廣告本身是宣傳的一種手段,已經形成了一種獨特的文體,具有自己的語言特征及翻譯準則,所以在進行翻譯的時候也必須考慮到譯文的宣傳效果以及譯文語言的特點,并遵從廣告翻譯的原則,需要根據不同的文化背景,從具體情況出發,靈活地傳達出原文的意義,譯出雅俗共賞、簡潔凝練、生動有趣的中英文廣告,以達到商品宣傳和促使消費者購買的目的。
