在上一讲里,我们用实例说明了翻译的三种基本技巧——转化、增添和删减。从这一讲开始,我们将陆续用更多的实例来说明这三种技巧的具体运用。一篇译作是否成功,说到底就看译者是否在正确地理解原文的前提F能把转化、增添和删减这三种技巧运用得到家。阐述翻译理论的书籍往往罗列很多具体的技巧细节,但是,我们认为:“转化”、“增添”和“删减”这三条就基本上把它们归纳了。为什么?因为从根本上说来,翻译的任务就是用另一种语言把原文表达出来。换句话说,就是把原文“转化”为译文。所以, In the previous lecture, we illustrated three basic translation techniques - examples of translations, additions and deletions. From this talk onwards, we will continue to use more examples to illustrate the specific use of these three techniques. Whether a translator is successful or not depends on whether the translator correctly understands the original premise, or not, and can use the three techniques of transformation, addition and subtraction. The book that explicates translation theory often lists many specific technical details, but we think that the three transformations: “transformation ”, “addition ” and “deletion ” basically summarize them.
