    Translation briefly

     

    The main translation industry professionals is an interpreter. Translation can be approximately divided into primary translation, intermediate translation and senior translation. As an example to illustrate with English classification standards, English level 6 or 8 level, bachelor degree or above, major in general can do translation work, but the vast majority of them level belong to primary level, namely the translation of the original roughly can response mean, but there will be some grammar or syntax errors. Intermediate translation are often based on at university, specializing in 2 years - five years translation work in translation industry, abundant experience, the theory and practice of translation is thorough understanding, mastered more skills, language using more skilled. Intermediate translation of translation should not have great mistake, basically detail may be a little deficient.

And YiShen are often in translation industry has many years of experience in translation, language attainments is darker, but also has the characteristics of meticulous and serious.

     

     

    Shallow foundation translation

    Language translation is beneficial not only to the each other between world cultural exchanges, translation company more conducive to the development of language. In do translation work when most of the tire of a idioms. In order to loyal to the original heart must maintain, its foreign flavor, and must conform to the requirements, and their text translation is the two hardest idioms with the standard to.

     

    In order to properly in the foreign language translation out, experienced translators usually take the following several methods:

     

    Literal translation - is that according to the text translate directly to the literal meaning of ", such as Chinese paper tiger "tiger" into "for honeycombed, foreigners look not only recognise its righteousness, and feel very is preached, so has become officially Anglo-American national language. In addition, we mouth "shaming" also was metaphrased face "for" lost, "running dogs" translate as "running dog". Translation companies due to the ZhongGuoRe and greatly foreigners welcome "kung fu" kung fu ", such as "is also a kind of literal translation.

     

    Synonymy idioms - two languages borrow method some of both in content, peres idioms in form and color are consistent with, they not only have the same meaning or hidden righteousness, and have the same or a similar image or metaphor. In translation if faced this situation might as well straight a load of local borrowing. Say, there is a Chinese idioms are "walls have ears", in English, but "walls have ears," two words word, righteousness combined, invulnerable. We say "fanning the flames", an Englishman, said "the fuel to add to flame", both also have exactly the same.

     

    The author calls - some idioms can't literal translation, also cannot find synonymous idioms to borrow, then use free translation methods to treat. For example in Chinese used to indicate the vengeance "defeat was beaten and translated into English means to be shattered to is" over ", "a miasma" describe situations disarray, usable "chaos" to express.

     

    Omit law - Chinese, a kind of circumstance in translation companies have plenty of dual phrase is idioms, repetitive. Before and after implications When I went to this method to deal with available ellipsis, lest produce gild the lily feeling. For example "bronze may be translated into" the iron wall "wall of bronze" have enough, really need not say into "wall of cooper and little". "街谈巷议" in the sense is repeated, so translated into "gossip" can a flop.

     

    Add law - to the more clearly express intent, translation companies think sometimes according to the passage, in the process of translation, the need to add some instructions. Rats desert a sinking ship, for example "may be translated into" Once "the tree falls, the monkeys on cd-rom helter skelter flee it," including - helter skelter "- guarded" meaning, is the composition, translation company adds that although do not have its words and text has its righteousness, added that image is outstanding, sound and color.

     

    Reduction method - some idioms originated from foreign language translation can make, REDOX translation company. For example "clip tail" should be translated into "the tail between the account legs"; "War dealers" is English "in monger" allows - translation; "Blueprint" is a "blue - locate 14, 20: print" in translating. Translation company think of six idioms proposed above is relatively commonly used the method, if can master is good, already enough general needs. In some works in translation, often also saw the author use comments to explain, for some idiom means only in historical background and idioms that can only be fully citations after classics of few words that its meaning, watch is cannot express translation company.

     

     

    Concerning advertising translation

    Advertising translation is emerging translation field. Along with the global economy integration, our country enterprise of product, service, brand increasingly widely and deeply involved in the international market competition, including foreign advertising the international marketing strategies, are becoming more and more attention. However, should admit, because our country enterprise international competition, lack of experience in international marketing talents, the enterprises in China's foreign lack in advertising, especially foreign advertising, is doing very not enough. Below we briefly introduce the basic characteristics of English advertisements, also hope that everybody in the discussion. Wen, we attach an article maotai brewery and a translation textbooks, AD reference translation with our translations, looks at everybody give criticisms. Advertising English in accordance with the characteristics of English stylistics (WaiYanShe version of Investigation Into Style and adaptation) from spending on look, more for Style, spoken written body does not see more. The specific performance:

    A, vocabulary simplification

     

    The internal structure of words is simple; Positive affirmation, BaoYi word dominated; Multi-purpose contraction and word. Noun phrases of all case 's high frequency, with more than of refining.

     

    Second, the sentence pattern simplification

     

    Sentence length are usually very short, simple structure, complex sentences less.

     

    Three, grammar simplification

     

    A verb phrase is very simple, past appear frequency is extremely low, basically adopt tense-time relation. And the passive use less. The passive use less. Use, the features of the products tense-time relation in the eyes of the people become and general nature as permanent features, this is all kinds of other tenses cannot.

     

    Advertising English is the practical application type and simplification of need. Because the text simple easy to understand, people can be in a very short time watching it. And colloquial words can make a person feel kind, not at home, can win the readers' subjectivity.

     

    Meanwhile, to resort to feelings, propaganda for the purpose of brand image, advertising English question allows certain creativity. This kind of creative expression is:

     

    1, ask's proprietary. New terms appear rate is high, a made-up compound

     

    2, each noun phrase often has many modifying modifying, the characteristic is lead more. Advertising English noun phrases adjectives comparative and superlative appear higher frequencies.

     

    3, imperative and questions in advertising is very common. If ads, so readers all use statements likely just passively accepts information, and imperative and questions but it can make the person from passive liberated the psychological state, in order to make readers to do something, and prompted readers think, answer this question, so that readers excited, deepen our impression.

     

    4, use a lot of rhetoric, advertising and speech and language of poetry has many similarities. Common are paratactic structure, words, repetition, parallelism structure, alliteration method, etc.

    翻译简述
     
    翻译行业的主要从业人员是翻译。翻译可大致可分为初级翻译、中级翻译和高级翻译。以英语为例来说明分类标准,英语6级或8级水平,大学本科以上学历,一般都可以做翻译工作,但其中绝大多数的水平属于初级水平,即翻译大体能够反应原文的意思,但会存在一定的语法或句法错误。中级翻译则往往是在大学本科的基础上,从事过2年-5年以上翻译工作,在翻译的行业有较丰富的经验,对翻译的理论和实践理解较为透彻,掌握了更多的技巧,语言运用较为熟练。中级翻译的译稿基本上不应有重大错误,细节方面可能会有一点欠缺。高级翻译则是一般是在翻译行业中从业10年以上,对翻译有着比较深刻的理解,行业知识和语言知识都比较丰富,翻译稿件能够达到准确、流畅的要求。而译审则往往是在翻译行业有着多年的翻译经验,对语言方面造诣较深,同时还具备细致认真的特点。

    浅淡基础翻译
           语言之间的互相翻译不但有利于各国文化的交流,翻译公司更有利于语言的发展。在做翻译工作时最怕碰上习语多的文章。为了忠于原著,译文心须既保持它的外国风味,又要符合本国文字的要求,而翻译习语却是最难把这两个标准一同达到的。
     
          为了要适当地把外国语言中的习语翻译出来,有经验的翻译工作者一般采取下列几种方法:
     
          直译法----就是按照文字的字面意思直接翻译过来,例如汉语中的“纸老虎”直译成“paper tiger”,外国人看起来不但深明其义,而且觉得很是传神,所以现已成为正式的英美民族语言。另外,我们口中的“丢脸”也被直译为“lose face”,“走狗”译成为“running dog”。翻译公司由于中国热而大为外国人欢迎的“功夫”音译成“kung fu”等也算是直译法的一种。
     
          同义习语借用法——两种语言中有些同义习语无论在内容、形式和色彩上都有相符合,它们不但有相同的意思或隐义,而且有相同的或极相似的形象或比喻。翻译时如果遇到这种情况不妨直载了当地互相借用。比方说汉语中有一句习语是“隔墙有耳“,英语中却有 “walls have ears”,两句话字、义两合,无懈可击。我们说“火上加油”,英国人则说“to add fuel to the flame”,两者也完全一样。
     
            意译法——有些习语无法直译,也无法找到同义的习语借用,则只好采用意译的方法来对待.例如汉语中的“落花流水”用来表示被打得大败之意,译成英文便是“to be shattered to pieces”、“乌烟瘴气” 形容情形混乱不堪,可用“chaos”来表达。
     
             省略法—汉语中有一种情况,翻译公司就是习语中有的是对偶词组,前后含意重复。偶到这种情况时可用省略法来处理,以免产生画蛇添足之感。例如“铜墙铁壁”可译成“wall of bronze”已经足够,实在无须说成“wall of copper and iron”。“街谈巷议”在意义上也是重复的,所以译成“street gossip”便可以了。
     
           增添法—为了要更清楚地表达原意,翻译公司认为有时要结合上下文的需要,在译文中增添一些说明。例如“树倒猢狲散”可译成“Once the tree falls, the monkeys on it will flee helter-skelter,”其中helter-skelter是“慌慌张张”之意,是增添的成分,翻译公司认为原文虽无其字而有其义,加了使形象突出,有声有色。
     
            还原法—一些习语源于外语,翻译时可使之还原翻译公司。例如“夹着尾巴”应译成“with the tail between the legs”;“战争贩子”是英文“war-monger”的中译;“蓝图”则是“blue-print”的中译等.翻译公司认为上面提出的六种习语翻译法是比较常用的,如果能掌握好,已够一般的需要。在一些著作的翻译本中,往往还看到作者利用注释来说明习语的意义,因为有些习语只能在历史背景和典籍出处说明后才能充分表表明其意思,三言两语是无法表达翻译公司的。

    论广告翻译
    广告翻译是新兴的翻译领域。随着全球经济的一体化,我国企业的产品、服务、品牌日益广泛、深入地参与了国际市场竞争,包括对外广告宣传在内的国际市场营销策略越来越受重视。不过,应该承认,由于我国企业国际竞争经验不足,国际营销人才缺乏,我国企业的对外广告,尤其是在外文广告方面,是做得很不够的。以下我们扼要介绍以下英文广告的基本特点,也希望大家参与讨论。文后,我们附一篇茅台酒厂的广告词及某翻译教材中的参考译文和我们的译文,望大家批评指教。广告英语的特点(根据《英语文体学》外研社版及 Investigation Into English Style 改编)从文体上看,多为口语体,书面体并不多见。具体表现为:
         一、词汇简单化
    词的内部结构比较简单;积极肯定、褒义的词占绝对优势;多用缩约词。名词词组中所有格' s的出现频率很高,比用of更为精炼。
    二、句型简单化
    句子长度一般都很短,结构简单,复合句少。
    三、语法简单化
    动词词组非常简单,过去时出现的频率极低,基本上采用一般现在时。而且被动语态运用较少。被动语态运用较少。使用一般现在时,商品的特征在人们的眼中成为和一般自然规律一样的永久特征,这是其他各种时态所做不到的。
    广告英语的口语化和简单化是实际应用的需要。因为简单的文字容易理解,人们可以在很短的时间内把它看完。而口语化的文字可以使人感到亲切,不拘束,能赢得读者的好感。
    同时,为达到诉诸感情、宣传品牌形象之目的,广告英语问题允许一定的创造性。这种创造性表现为:
    1、.求新求奇的专有名词出现率高,自创的复合词多
    2、每个名词词组往往带有许多修饰成分,特点是前置修饰成分比较多。广告英语的名词词组中形容词的比较级和最高级出现频率高。
    3、祈使句和疑问句在广告中很常见。如果广告中全都使用陈述句,那么读者很有可能仅仅被动接受信息,而祈使句和疑问句却能使人从被动的心理状态中解脱出来,以促使读者做某件事,促使读者思考、回答问题,使读者兴奋,加深印象。
    4、使用大量的修辞手段,广告与演讲及诗的语言有许多相似之处。常见的有并列结构、词句重复、排比结构,头韵法,等等。
