ouds flows spring) written by Su Dongpo (1037-1101), themostversatile poetof the Northern SongDynasty(960-1127).译文中,作者运用直译和意译相结合的手段,帮助读者更好地理解“云外流春”的含义,体会其美妙的意境。湖南张家界风景名胜区简介中有这样一句:境内怪峰林立,溶洞群布,古木参天,珍禽竞翅,山泉潺潺,云雾缭绕。一句话里连用六个四字句,文字简洁,文笔优美,引人入胜,其译文: There are countless strange peaks, clusters of limestone caves, ancient trees as high as the sky, rare and precious birds, flowing mountain-springs, and cloud-like mists floating above you.描绘景色内容的四字句翻译的伸缩性很强,用句可长可短。例如“移步换景”、“曲径通幽”、“诗情画意”、“九天飞瀑”可分别译为: a different view with every step(而不是“对号入座”式的翻译为:“take a step and the scenerywill change”)a winding path leading to a secluded place, poetic lyricism and picturesque concep.t但“九天飞瀑”只需译作heavenly falls就可以了。形容商品的“琳琅满目”,可意译为a superb collection ofbeautiful things,但是某种情况下,可把它翻译为“wide choice”。
2. 4　跨文化意识与文化信息的处理
旅游英语属于“信息文本”( informative text),它以传播中国文化为己任,而了解中国文化也正是来华旅游者的重要目的。外国游客对我国的传统节日也很有兴趣,但他们对我国的民间节日知之甚少,这就需要我们在对外宣传中加些解释。例如我国最大的传统节日“春节”,可以解释性地译为:Spring Festival (a three-day celebration of the traditional Chinese New Year, which falls in January or February according to cycles in the Chinese lunar calendar)。再看下面一例:作为炎黄子孙,还可以去拜谒离西安不远的黄帝陵。译文: Ifyou are ofChinese descen,t youmay pay tribute to the tomb ofHuangdi (Yellow Emperor), first Chinese emperor.
尽管这则译文简明流畅,但稍稍留意便不难发现其美中不足之处。因为中国传说中,黄帝和炎帝都是上古时期部足的首领(chief),而并非皇帝(emperor)。皇帝系君主制国家的国家元首名称之一。公元前221年,秦王嬴政统一六国后,称皇帝。此后我国历代封建君主才称皇帝。因此,译文中将黄帝译为Yellow EmperorFirst或Chinese Emperor并不十分恰当。只有从跨文化的角度去理解它、翻译它,才能做到既忠实原文,又让外国游客清楚明了。因而将“炎黄子孙”译为the descents ofYan Di and HuangDi (All the Chinese people are supposed to be descents ofHuang Di and Yan D,i two chiefs of famous ancient tribes in theHuanghe本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
