一、导读 翻译的基本单位在于句子，而最小单位则在于词语，词语的理解与翻译也成为翻译实践之基础。翻译就是为了能够在译语中寻找到源语的对等词汇或者句子。由于人们生活环境、思维方式、表达习惯等方面的差异，汉语和英语之间不是所有词语都能找到相应的对等词，这就给翻译带来了一定的困难。本章节选《为奴隶的母亲》是柔石的短篇小说，文中细腻地描述了秀才家中发生的琐事，心理描写细致入微，对话生动形象。张培基先生的译文流畅自然，充分利用各种翻译技巧如转换、增译等方法处理文中的各类词语。值得关注的是，词语的翻译受到文化语境和搭配的制约，其理解与翻译必须考虑文化语境，考虑源语与目的语、特别是目的语读者的接受性。 A Hired Wifeby Rou Shi Time passed quickly.

After that, whenever she saw the scholar return home, she always tried to avoid him if his wife was not present. But even in the presence of his wife, the young woman considered it necessary to keep herself in the background. She had to do all this naturally so that it would not be noticed by outsiders, for otherwise the wife would get angry and blame her for purposely discrediting her in public. As time went on, the scholar’s wife even made the young woman do the work of a maid-servant. Once the young woman decided to wash the elderly woman’s clothes. A Hired Wifeby Rou Shi “You’re not supposed to wash my clothes,” the scholar’s wife said. “In
