口譯學習:漢譯英中翻譯複雜句子的方法

“每一個人,作爲社會的一個成員,有權享受其人格和尊嚴的自由發展所必需的社會、經濟、文化權利,這些權利是通過國家努力和國際合作來實現的,並且與所在國家的組織、資源、現狀相一致。”

對於這種比較複雜的中文句子,在正式翻譯成英文句子之前,應當按照它的含義,將它劃分成不同的部分,以便我們確定英文句子的結構。我首先將這個中文句子劃分成6個部分,請特別注意,第4部分嵌套在第3部分中間。

①每一個人,②作爲社會的一個成員,③有權享受 [④其人格和尊嚴的自由發展所必需的] 社會、經濟、文化權利,⑤這些權利是通過國家努力和國際合作來實現的',⑥並且與所在國家的組織、資源、現狀相一致。

這樣劃分之後,我初步決定,將第4、5、6部分翻譯成三個定語從句,用來修飾第3部分的最後一個單詞rights,請看:

①Everyone

②as a member of society

③is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights

④which are necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity

⑤which are realized through national effort and international cooperation

⑥which are concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.

不過,在英語中,通常是一個定語從句修飾一個名詞,很少有三個定語從句修飾一個名詞,因此我臨時決定,將第4部分改寫成一個短語,將第5、6部分合併成一個定語句子,請看:

①Everyone

②as a member of society

③is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights

④necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity

⑤which are realized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant withthe organization, resources and situation of each country.

最後,將這5個部分組合起來,就是這個中文句子的英文譯文。

Everyone, as a member of society, is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rightsnecessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity, which arerealized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant with theorganization, resources and situation of each country.

另外,LT論壇的ptbptb網友另提供的一個版本如下:

Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled torealization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with theorganization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rightsindispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.

  附: 做口譯筆記時的注意事項

1.口譯筆記應記要點,切忌求記“全”。口譯筆記是記憶的延伸或補充,不應也不必取代記憶。口譯筆記的主要內容是概念、命題、名稱、數字、組織機構和邏輯關係(如大小、先後、正反、上下、升降、因果關係等),筆記單位以表達意羣的詞語和符號爲主。

2.口譯筆記求快求精,但不可潦草。

3.口譯筆記可使用來源語,也可使用目標語,也可以雙語兼用。只要有利於口譯的準確性和流利性,不必拘泥於某種文字或符號。例如,“聯合國大會”可筆錄爲“UN”或“聯大”。

4.口譯筆記使用大量常見略語,例如:cf(compare), Co(company), eg(for example), etc(and soon), esp(especially), ie(that is), max(maximum), min(minimum), ref(reference), std(standard),usu(usually),等。
