第八节 转态译法
这里说的语态是指主动语态和被动语态, 这两种语态在英汉两种语言中的使用情况是很不相同的:英语大量使用被动语态,而汉语则很少使用,即便使用, 也不像英语那样有固定或比较统-的构成形式。比如说,汉语的被动不是只用一“被”字表示。因此在英汉互译中,要经常变换语态,以使译文符合习惯用法。显得地道而自然。试看译例:
1) She hadn't been told Bette’s other name, or she’d forgotten it. (Jack Lindsay, Betrayed Spring)
人家没告诉过她蓓蒂姓什么,要不然也许是她忘了.
2) His successes were so repeated that no wonder the envious and the vanquished spoke sometimes with bitterness regarding them. (W. M. Thackeray, Vanity Fair)

16) 全国同胞们, 中华人民共和国现已宣告成立.(<毛泽东选集>第五卷) Fellow-countrymen, the founding of the People’s Republic of China is proclaimed.
从上面例句中,可归纳如下关于英汉互译中语态变换的一些规则: 一. 英语被动句译成汉语主动句, 是最常见的方法 (一) 原文主语在译文中仍作主语 (二) 原文主语在译文中作宾语 (三) 译成带表语的主动句
(四) 注意英语常用被动句型的汉语习惯译法. It is hoped that? 希望? It is reported that?据报道? It is said that? 据说?
It is supposed that ?据推测?
It must be admitted that ?必须承认? It must be pointed out that ? 必须指出? It is asserted that ?有人主张? It is believed that? 有人相信? It is well known that?众所周知? It will be said that?人们会说? It was told that?.人们曾说? I was told that?我听说?
二. 译成汉语被动句: 除用 “被”字外, 还可以用 “受到” “遭到” “为?所?” 等字眼.
三. 译成含有 “把” “使” 或 “由”等字眼的汉语句子. 第九节 褒贬译法
词汇按照语法中的词性可以分成名词、代词、动词,形容词、副词、介词和叹词等;词汇按照感情色彩可分为褒义、贬义和中性。在翻译过程中,词汇的词性并不是原封不动地从原文搬到译文,而要根据译文的语言习惯进行;词汇感情色彩的翻译一般应严格按照原文的精神来进行.而不是像词汇的词性翻译那样受译文的支配.也就是说,褒义词必须翻译成褒义词,贬义词必须译成贬义词,中性词也应译成中性词.让我们一起来看下面的例子。
