  33. Translation Skills 词义的选择

  34. Translation Skills 词是句子甚至整个语篇的基本构建单位，如何选择恰当词义，是翻译过程中首先要碰到的问题。只有选择了适当的词义，并在必要时加以恰如其分地引申，才能确保译文的通顺。大部分词不只有一个实际意义，这是词本身所具备的特性。假如一个词离开语境而独立存在，语义是不确定的，也是不可译的。英语和汉语的词汇都非常丰富，英语的一词多义，汉语的一字多义的现象十分普遍。同样，一个简单的字或词语，在不同的上下文中，就可能有不同的含义，这就需要我们依靠具体的上下文来判断某个字或词语的意义。

  35. Translation Skills • 词义选择可以从以下四个方面着手： • Ⅰ) 通过词语的搭配选择 词的搭配关系主要指词与词的横向组合关系，英语与汉语在长期的使用过程中，都形成了各自的组合规律或搭配习惯。 1) The play ran for two years. 本剧持续放映了两年。 2) Water was running off the roof. 水从屋顶上流淌下来。 3）The idea runs in his mind. 这个念头萦绕在他的脑海里.

  36. Translation Skills II) 根据上下文选择词义 英语中同一个词，同一词类，在不同场合往往有不同含义，因此可根据上下文的联系来判断和确定某个词在特定场合下所具有的词义，请看下例： 1) Government figures underestimate the problem. 政府的数字低估了这个问题。 2) Several leading figures resigned from the party. 几个主要的人物从政党中辞职了。 3) Most women have to watch their figure. 大部分妇女得注意她们的身材。

  37. Translation Skills III) 根据词性确定词义 很多英文单词有多种词性，当词性不同时，往往词义也有所不同，因此，在翻译过程中首先可分析确定词性，然后再根据词性选择适当的词义。以本单元的close一词为例： 1)The shops close at 5:30. (动词) 商店五点半关门。 2) The church is close to the school. (形容词) 教堂离学校很近。 3) They were sitting close together on the couch. (副词) 他们紧挨着坐在长沙发上。

  38. Translation Skills IV) 根据词汇的褒贬确定词义 词汇按照感情色彩可以分为褒义、贬义和中性。在翻译过程中，译者必须注意词汇的感情色彩，一般应严格按照原文的精神来进行。例如： A. aggressive 1) Aggressive nations threaten world peace. 侵略成性的国家威胁世界和平。 2) A good salesman must be aggressive if he wants to succeed. 要做个好推销员一定要有闯劲才能成功。

  39. Writing Practice Directions: Read the following words from a freshman who is talking about a problem. Write a paragraph giving advice to him. Start with the sentence "To solve your problem, you should pay more attention to your communication skills." "When I got to the college, I was nervous. My roommates made me nervous; my classmates made me nervous; the sight of the teachers made me nervous; the classroom discussions made me nervous; everything made me nervous."

  40. Sample writing To solve your problem, you should pay more attention to your communication skills. First, you should be aware of your problem, and tell yourself that it's very natural for you to feel that way in a new place and among so many people you don't know. Then you should try to make others understand your position and help you deal with the problem. In order to get others to pay attention to you, you must first learn how to be a good and sympathetic listener. You should concentrate when you listen and do not miss the important points the others say, because your thoughts race much faster than most people speak. Then you should talk more. The ability to talk well is not always easy. But the more you work at it, the easier it will be. You can also use a bit sense of humor to lighten your conversation. Only when you are ready to talk and listen attentively will you succeed in making a connection with the world around you.
