陆谷孙教授在分析我国学生在英语口语中常犯错误时,首先提及的“时态意识”(tense consciousneSs)不强的问题。笔者近来读教参译文时发现,其汉译的时态意识也有待强化。不少原句时态鲜明,表意恰当,而译文却不辨时态,眉毛胡子一把抓,甚至令读者不知所云。现择其典型者作以下分析。 When Professor Lu Gusun analyzed the common mistakes made by Chinese students in spoken English, the first issue of “tense consciousneSs” was not strong. The author recently discovered that the tense consciousness of Chinese translation still needs to be strengthened. Many of the original sentences are clear-cut in their tense, ideographically appropriate, and the translations do not recognize the tense, eyebrows and beards catch it, even leaving readers in the dark. Now choose the typical person for the following analysis.
