汉英翻译中的“中式英语”：有些表达约定俗成 (2).docVIP

汉英翻译中的“中式英语”：有些表达约定俗成 有的词句尽管搭配不当，但因长期使用而被英语国家接受，可谓约定俗成，例如： 　　把中国建设成为build China into属Chinglish，应译为：turn China into 　　但在克林顿欢迎江主席的讲话中就用了build San Francisco into a thriving cosmopolitan city。可见英语也在吸收外来语，也在不断发展。 　　三、重复和累赘。汉语和英语对名词、动词、形容词和副词的用法不同，所以对重复强调的用法也不一样。汉语中经常出现重复使用名词的现象，而英语则较多地用代词、短语或省略来表达。例如： 　　(5)为了开好本次大会，邮联大会中国组委会全力以赴做了大量的准备工作。中国政府和北京市政府均对本次大会的筹备给予了大力支持。很多国家政府和 邮政主管部门也为中国筹备本次大会提供了有益的帮助。在此，我谨向所有支持本次大会筹备工作的国家、部门和朋友们表示最衷心的感谢！ 　　初译：The Chinese Organizing Committee of the postal Union Congress has gone all out to make preparations in order to make the Congress a success.

Both the Central Government and the Beijing Municipal Government of China have rendered unfailing support to its preparations. The Governments and competent postal departments of many countries have provided China with kind help in the work. Here I wish to express most sincere thanks to all the countries, departments and friends that have given us support in this regard. 　　改译后，大会和筹备都只出现过一次，句子简练一些。 　　(6)为了推动中美关系的发展，中国需要进一步了解美国，美国也需要进一步了解中国。 　　初译：To promote the development of China-US relations, China needs to know the US better and the US also needs to know China better. 　　改译：To promote China-US relations, China needs to know the US better and vice versa. 　　改后译文避免了重复，英文较顺。 　　(7)依法治国……建立社会主义的法制国家 　　初译：govern the country by law…and build the socia
