and they are regarded by all good wives, far and near, as perfect barometers. 季节的每一更迭,气候的每一转变,乃至一天中的每一小时,都给这些山峦的奇幻色彩和形态带来变化,远近的主妇都把这些看作是准确的晴雨表。 III. 为了生动 英语原文中即使没有词的重复,翻译时为了使译文生动,有时也可以采用下列各种重复手段。 1, 运用两个四字词组 汉语中有大量的四字词组,这是汉语的一大特点。四字词组比较精炼,念起来顺口,有节奏感,如运用恰当,可使文字生动活泼增强修辞效果。为了使译文符合忠实、通顺的标准,译者有时可酌情运用两个同义或近义的四字词组,这也可以说是一种重复。 But there had been too much publicity about my case. 但我的事现在已经搞得满城风雨,人人皆知了。 The streets were overrun by Hitler’s bullies. 那时希特勒的暴徒在街上横行霸道,无恶不作。 Target priorities were established there. 目标的轻重缓急,孰先孰后,是在那里决定的。 2, 运用词的重叠 词的重迭是汉语中常用的一种修辞手段。古代诗词中有很多这类例子,如:“青青河畔草,郁郁园中柳”、“年年岁岁花相似,岁岁年年人不同”、“寻寻觅觅,凄凄惨惨戚戚”等等。在散文中也可经常见到词的重迭运用,如“清楚”往往说成“清清楚楚”,“明白”往往说成“明明白白”。英译汉时,我们可适当采用词的重迭,特别时四字重迭词组,使译文生动活泼,通顺达意。 I had been completely honest in my replies, withholding nothing. 我的回答完全是坦坦荡荡,直言无隐。 His children, too, were as ragged and wild as if they belonged to nobody. 他的那些孩子,也是穿得破破烂烂,粗野不堪,就象没有父母似的。 With his tardiness, carelessness and appalling good humor, we were sore perplexed. 他老是磨磨蹭蹭,马马虎虎,脾气又好得惊人,我们都对他毫无办法。 3, 运用四字对偶词组 汉语中有不少四字对偶词组,在这个四字中前后两对字形成对偶,往往具有相同或类似的含义,所以也是一种重复。英译汉时我们可酌情采用此类对偶四字词组,使译文显得生动活泼。
