第二篇:汉英段落翻译练习

A.

在巴黎,名目繁多的酒会,冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。在这种场合陌生人相识,如果是亚洲人,他们往往开口之前先毕恭毕敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方,这好像是不可缺少的礼节。然而,法国人一般却都不大主动递送名片,双方见面寒暄几句,甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开,只有当双方谈话投机,希望继续交往时,才会主动掏出名片。二话不说先递名片反倒显得有些勉强。

B.

来美国求学的中国学生与其他亚裔学生一样,大多非常刻苦勤奋,周末也往往会抽出一天甚至两天的时间去实验室加班,因而比起美国学生来,成果出得较多。我的导师是亚裔人,嗜烟好酒,脾气暴躁。但他十分欣赏亚裔学生勤奋与扎实的基础知识,也特别了解亚裔学生的心理。因此,在他实验室所招的学生中,除有一名来自德国外,其余5位均是亚裔学生。他干脆在实验室的门上贴一醒目招牌:“本室助研必须每周工作7天,早10时至晚12时,工作时间必须全力以赴。”这位导师的严格及苛刻是全校有名的,在我所呆的3年半中,共有14位学生被招进他的实验室,最后博士毕业的只剩下5人。1990年夏天,我不顾别人劝阻,硬着头皮接受了导师的资助,从此开始了艰难的求学旅程。

C. 这次到台湾访问交流,虽然行程匆匆,但是,看了不少地方,访了旧友,交了新知,大家走到一起,谈论的一个重要话题就是中华民族在21世纪的强盛。虽然祖国大陆、台湾的青年生活在不同的社会环境中,有着各自不同的生活经历,但大家的内心都深深铭刻着中华文化优秀传统的印记,都拥有着振兴中华民族的共同理想。在世纪之交的伟大时代,我们的祖国正在走向繁荣富强,海峡两岸人民也将加强交流,共同推进祖国统一大业的早日完成。世纪之交的宝贵机遇和巨大挑战将青年推到了历史前台。跨世纪青年一代应该用什么样的姿态迎接充满希望的新世纪,这是我们必须回答的问题。

日月潭水波不兴,仿佛与我一同在思索„„

世界上第一代博物馆属于自然博物馆,它是通过化石、标本等向人们介绍地球和各种生物的演化历史。第二代属于工业技术博物馆,它所展示的是工业文明带来的各种阶段性结果。这两代博物馆虽然起到了传播科学知识的作用,但是,它们把参观者当成了被动的旁观者。世界上第三代博物馆是充满全新理念的博物馆。在这里,观众可以自己去动手操作,自己细心体察。这样,他们可以更贴近先进的科学技术,去探索科学技术的奥妙。中国科技馆正是这样的博物馆!它汲取了国际上一些著名博物馆的长处,设计制作了力学、光学、电学、热学、声学、生物学等展品,展示了科学的原理和先进的科技成果。

人是一个非常复杂的矛盾体。为了不受干扰地工作,常常要逃避世俗的热闹,可一旦长期陷入孤境,又感到痛苦,感到难以忍受。

一般情况下,我喜欢孤独。我的最大爱好是深思默想。我可以一个人长时间地独处而感到愉快。独享欢乐是一种愉快,独自忧伤也是一种愉快。孤独的时候,精神不会是一片纯粹的空白,它仍然是一个丰富多彩的世界。情绪上的大欢乐和大悲痛往往都在孤独中产生。孤独中,思维可以不依照逻辑进行。孤独更多地产生人生的诗情——激昂的和伤感的。孤独可以使人的思想向更遥远更深邃的地方伸展,也能使你对自己或环境作更透彻的认识和检讨。

当然,孤独常常叫人感到无以名状的忧伤。而这忧伤有时又是很美丽的。

我喜欢孤独。

但我也很惧怕孤独。

F.

简·奥斯丁的小说写的都是三五户人家居家度日,婚恋嫁娶的小事。因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。但一部小说开掘得深不深,艺术和思想是否有过人之处,的确不在题材大小。有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越嚼越有味道的橄榄。这不仅因为她的语言精彩,并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性贡献,也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白,那么透明。史密斯夫人说过,女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序,改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度,明察到“小事”的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。

G.

脍炙人口的传统京剧《白蛇传》讲的是传自明朝的故事。白蛇精与青蛇精化作美女来到人间。白蛇精与一位书生相爱并生一子。禅师法海认为他们的结合违反传统婚姻,伤风败俗,他气急败坏。于是他派神兵神将前来捉拿白蛇精,并将她镇压在一座塔下面。后来,青蛇精在深山中修炼,习武多年,终于砸烂了那座塔,救出白蛇精。至此,白蛇精与丈夫、儿子又得团聚。在《白》剧中,蛇被赋予了崇高的人性。

第五篇:涉外公证文书的汉英翻译

2008-1-22 9:34

页面功能 【字体:大 中 小】【打印】【关闭】

涉外公证是我国公证机关对发生在国内的法律行为及有关法律意义的文件或事实向国外出具的公证文书,这类公证文书设计面广,难度高,具有特殊的效力。为了使用方便,大多数发往国外的公证书均要附英译文,有的国家还要求对涉外公证文书应出具“中文与译文相符”的证明文件,以证明其内容的真实和可靠。所以能否准确地英译涉外公证书,直接影响我国对外开放政策的落实和我国公民、法人在域外的合法权益。本文拟就涉外法律关系、涉外法律行为、涉外法律事件以及文书言辞等公证文书的英译谈谈个人体会。

一、涉外继承公证

(格式)继承人:王利,女,1940年4月20日出生,现住ⅩⅩ省ⅩⅩ市、光明路33号。

被继承人:李明,男,生前住美国西雅图克拉克大街第二十二号。

查李明于1991年9月20日在ⅩⅩⅩ(地名)死亡。死后在ⅩⅩⅩ(地名)留有遗产。死者生前立有遗嘱。根据死者遗嘱,死者李明的遗产应由王利继承。

分析:涉外继承是继承人或被继承人一方在域外的财产继承适宜。这类公证书的英译应注意以下几个问题:(1)“继承人”,有人译为“successor”不妥。因为“successor”主要指“a person who takes an office or position formerly held by another”,如:“王位的继承人”译为“the successor to the Throne”.涉外公证书的“继承人”是指“a person who has the lawful right to receive the property of one who dies”,故应选用“heir”.(2)“遗产”一词是很重要的,汉英词典上有legacy, estate, inheritance,但这几个词是有很大区别的:“legacy”主要指遗产中的动产部分:“estate”指被继承人死后留下尚未被继承的全部遗产,既包括动产也有不动产:“inheritance”指已被当事人继承了的遗产。因此,“遗产”一词应译成“estate”.(3)“遗嘱”一词在汉英词典上有testament, will, dying words, 但这些词在法律上也不都是同义词。在公证书中,“遗嘱”一词一般指正式的“书面遗嘱”,选用“will”较妥:“生前立有遗嘱”,有人译成“made a will”就不如“had a will”,因为“made a will”只强调当时的行为,而公证机关在出具几横公证书是,是根据当事人提供的、经公证机关审查的真实、合法的书面遗嘱,所以这里强调的是结果。(4)“遗产应由ⅩⅩⅩ继承”应译成“estate is to be inherited by ⅩⅩⅩ”,“to be to do ”表示按遗嘱安排一定要实行的行为。

英译:

Heir: Wang li, female, was born on April,4,l940,now residing at No.33,Guang Ming Rd,ⅩⅩCity,ⅩⅩProvince.

Deceased: Li Ming, male, resided at No.22,Clard St., Seattle, U.S.A.

Li Ming died on Sept.,20,1991 in ⅩⅩⅩ(name of place) and left his estate in ⅩⅩⅩ(name of place).He had a will: According to his will, Mr Li Ming‘s estate is to be inherited by Wang Li.

例二:涉外学历公证

(格式)兹证明施平(男,1963年4月21日出生)于1985年9月入ⅩⅩ大学英语系学习,学制四年,于1989年9月毕业。

分析:学历公证是公证机关证明当事人的学习成绩单、毕业证书、学位证书的真实性、合法性的活动。当事人办理学历公证主要用于国外留学、谋职或向一些国家申请领取补助费,所以向国外发出的学历公证都需附经过校对无误的英译文。翻译学历公证应注意的问题主要有两个:一是“入学”一词的翻译,学历公证主要证明的是大学以上的学历,因此“入学”一词应译成“to be enrolled in”,而“to start school”主要指“开始进入小学学习”,“to enter a school”一般指“进入中等学校学习”;二是“毕业”一词的翻译,在近几年的涉外公证书中有的当事人要求证明中等学校的学历,这样“毕业”一词译成“to finish school”就可以了,而“graduate”是指“to complete a university degree course”,所以大学“毕业”才使用“graduate”

英译:

This is to certify that Shi Ping (male, born on April 21, 1963)was enrolled in the English Department of ⅩⅩ University (4-year course) in September 1985 and was graduated in September 1989.

三、涉外遗嘱公证

(格式)兹证明张三(男,1936年5月1日出生)于1990年1月7日来到我处,在我的面前,在前面其本人所立的遗嘱上签名。

分析:遗嘱公证是公证机关对遗嘱人设立遗嘱行为的真实性、合法性予以证明的活动。在英译时,一定要处理好“在我的面前,在前面其本人所立的遗嘱上签名”。遗嘱公证可以是遗嘱人口述,公证员记录,但必须由遗嘱人在公证员的面前签名。“在我的面前”意指“公证员在场”,译成“in my presence”。“在遗嘱上签名”,有人译成“sign (one‘s) name on the testament” ,不大象行话,显得很随便,应译成“affix (one’s) signature to the testament” .“affix” 意思是附着于,用于非常正式的场合。如果立遗嘱人不会写字也可在遗嘱上盖上自己的印章,译成“affix (one‘s) seal to the testament” 但请注意,“testament” 前面的介词选用to 是表示一种归属关系:“遗嘱”后面的第一个定语“本人所立的”译成一分词短语“made by (one) self” ,第二个定语“在前面的”译成定语从句“which is attached hereto”,因为遗嘱公证书是把“遗嘱”文件排在前面,公证机关的公证书排在后面。

英译:

This is to certify that Zhang San (male, born on May,1,l936) came to my office on Jan.,7,l900 and affixed his signature in my presence to the testament made by himself which is attached hereto.

四、涉外收养公证

(格式)收养人:赵明,男,1946年1月3日出生,现住西班牙,马德里,ⅩⅩ路ⅩⅩ号。

张莉:女,1948年3月14 日出生,现住西班牙,马德里,ⅩⅩ路ⅩⅩ号。

被收养人:ⅩⅩ,男,1990年9月9日出生。

兹证明被收养ⅩⅩ于1990年9月9日出生于ⅩⅩ医院,其父母愿将此婴儿送养他人,并委托医院办理。收养人赵明、张莉与该医院协商,决定于1990年9月12日收养此婴儿,并取名为赵伟。

分析:涉外收养,主要指外国人收养中国公民、中国公民收养外国人为养子女、或海外华侨或港澳同胞回大陆收养子女的民事法律行为。英译收养公证应注意下列问题:(1)“收养人”不能简单地译成“adopter”或“consignee”因为在法律上“收养关系”成立后,收养人与被收养人之间便发生了父母子女关系,即“养父母与养子女”的关系,故应将“收养人”译成“adoptive”。而“adopter”是指一般的“收养人”或“领养人”:“consignee”主要指“受托人”、“代售人”等。(2)“被收养人”直译为“adopted person”就可以了,因为托医院办理收养关系的“被收养人”大都是婴儿,况且在公证书中还要证明其性别和出生,是“adopted son”还是“adopted daughter”是不言而喻的。(3)“其父母”不应译成“his/her parents”,因为在收养关系中,当事人有三种:即:收养人、被收养人和送养人。这里的送养人主要是被收养人的生身父母(当然也不排除有其他监护人),所以“其父母”是指婴儿的生父母,应译成“his/her natural parents”,以区别于“adoptive parents”。(4)在收养关系中,送养人把自己的子女送养他人是完全心甘情愿的,所以“愿将此婴儿送养他人”应译成“to express (one‘s) willingness to have the infant taken in by someone else”;在收养关系中,送养人一般不愿和收养人接触,所以委托医院与收养人商定收养事宜,应译成“to entrust the hospital to make the arrangment”

英译:

Adoptive parents: Zhao Ming ,male, was born on Jan.,3,l946, now residing at NO.
