5、野有極大的幫助。筆者從時(shí)代周刊中選取了一篇有關(guān)品牌時(shí)裝類的文章Trina Turk: A Fashion Week Debut 作為翻譯實(shí)踐的素材進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)分析。本文由Terri Pous編寫，于2013年2月11號(hào)刊登。文章介紹了Trina Turk品牌在紐約時(shí)裝周舉辦首場(chǎng)發(fā)布秀，本文詳細(xì)介紹了該品牌的發(fā)展過(guò)程以及其同名創(chuàng)始人Trina Turk的創(chuàng)作靈感、創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)歷，對(duì)時(shí)裝、時(shí)尚文化有很大的影響作用，同時(shí)對(duì)品牌開(kāi)發(fā)、品牌維護(hù)有一定的指引作用。該篇章的翻譯有益于對(duì)時(shí)裝文化的了解以及對(duì)品牌開(kāi)發(fā)、維護(hù)的學(xué)習(xí)。增強(qiáng)對(duì)翻譯理論的理解與運(yùn)用，發(fā)現(xiàn)自身的不足，鍛煉與提高翻譯能力。 2、譯前分析2.1材料的文

6、體特征在如今這樣一個(gè)信息通訊無(wú)比發(fā)達(dá)的時(shí)代，大眾傳媒日益發(fā)達(dá)，新聞每時(shí)每刻都被傳播到世界的各個(gè)角落。而翻譯正是傳播新聞的必經(jīng)之途。新聞時(shí)事的翻譯譯與文學(xué)、法律等文體翻譯有所不同，作為傳播媒介，其自身的特性有：大眾性，時(shí)效性，準(zhǔn)確性，真實(shí)性和客觀性等。與時(shí)代周刊的其他篇章一樣，該篇章同樣采用以敘述體報(bào)道時(shí)事的形式，既具有敘述文體的特征又具有新聞文體特征。敘述文體是以人、事、景、物為反映對(duì)象，以敘述、描寫為主要表達(dá)方式，同時(shí)并不排除其它表達(dá)方式的輔助作用，如必不可少的說(shuō)明、畫龍點(diǎn)睛的議論和滲透在字里行間的抒情等，以表情達(dá)意為寫作目的的文體。 其特點(diǎn)有： 材料的直觀性； 主題的含蓄性； 結(jié)構(gòu)的時(shí)空性

7、； 語(yǔ)言的形象性。而新聞文體又具有其大眾性、時(shí)效性、準(zhǔn)確性、真實(shí)性和客觀性的特征。這就要求譯者能兼顧形象性與真實(shí)性，靈活運(yùn)用詞匯與句型，在真實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上盡量做到生動(dòng)形象。2.2對(duì)譯者的要求本文是關(guān)于品牌服裝類的文章，語(yǔ)言、詞匯較為豐富，句型變換多樣，涉及一定的專業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)，文體具有敘述性與新聞性的特點(diǎn)。因此在翻譯的時(shí)候要求譯者能夠了解一定的背景文化知識(shí)，靈活運(yùn)用翻譯技巧，準(zhǔn)確把握專業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)，兼顧文體特征。最終做到真實(shí)準(zhǔn)確地給大眾傳達(dá)信息，使譯文的文體風(fēng)格與原文相適應(yīng)。總的來(lái)說(shuō)，要使得譯文符合“信息傳真”、“風(fēng)格再現(xiàn)”和“可讀性好”這三項(xiàng)基本要求。3、任務(wù)描述在充分了解了原文的文體風(fēng)格特征、語(yǔ)言特點(diǎn)，掌

8、握了一定的背景知識(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上，譯者要深刻理解原文，反復(fù)體會(huì)作者的意圖，準(zhǔn)確把握文體語(yǔ)言特征，盡最大努力做到把原文作者的思想成果和藝術(shù)成果介紹給讀者，幫助讀者理解并欣賞原文。在翻譯過(guò)程中力求用詞準(zhǔn)確，不隨意增刪內(nèi)容，用最忠實(shí)、流暢的語(yǔ)言翻譯原文，以達(dá)到譯文與原文在功能和語(yǔ)義上的對(duì)等。同時(shí)要避免拘泥于原文詞語(yǔ)的表層意義或語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)，避免表意不清、表達(dá)不流暢、不地道的現(xiàn)象發(fā)生。最后，對(duì)整個(gè)翻譯過(guò)程進(jìn)行總結(jié)評(píng)價(jià)，分析在翻譯過(guò)程中運(yùn)用了哪些翻譯技巧，遇到了哪些問(wèn)題，自己是如何解決這些問(wèn)題的。指出在翻譯過(guò)程中的不足之處，并提出相應(yīng)的提高和改進(jìn)的方法與建議。4、譯后評(píng)析4.1翻譯過(guò)程中翻譯技巧的使用4.1.1直

9、譯與意譯<1>直譯，就是既保持原文內(nèi)容又保持原文形式的翻譯方法。即在轉(zhuǎn)達(dá)原文意思的時(shí)候，使譯文的表達(dá)形式和句法結(jié)構(gòu)盡量同原文一致。下面是文中用到直譯的一些例子：（1）原文：Trina Turk lives in the mod, sun-drenched part of that corner known as Palm Springs. 譯文：Trina Turk 就生活在那樣一個(gè)充滿時(shí)尚氣息、陽(yáng)光普照的地方棕櫚泉。（2）原文：I thought I knew everything I needed to know, but I definitely did not. 譯文：我以

10、為我已經(jīng)懂了我應(yīng)該懂的一切，但是我完全沒(méi)有。<2>意譯，就是只保持原文內(nèi)容不保持原文形式的翻譯方法或翻譯文字。即通過(guò)對(duì)原文深層意蘊(yùn)的理解和消化，必要時(shí)將原文的表層結(jié)構(gòu)打破和重組，而后轉(zhuǎn)化為譯文自然流露的表層結(jié)構(gòu)。下面是文中用到意譯的一些例子：（1）原文：That team is what makes the presentation run like clockwork. 譯文：展出能順利進(jìn)行多虧了團(tuán)體的努力。（2）原文：Turk aims to modernize her brand, make it more visual.譯文：Turk致力于打造更時(shí)尚、更具視覺(jué)沖擊的品牌形象

11、。4.1.2增譯法增譯是指在原文基礎(chǔ)上添加單詞，詞組，分句或完整的句子，從而使譯文在語(yǔ)法，語(yǔ)言形式上符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣并使譯文在文化背景，詞語(yǔ)聯(lián)想等方面與原文保持一致，以達(dá)到譯文與原文在內(nèi)容，形式和精神等方面對(duì)等起來(lái)的目的。增加并不是無(wú)中生有隨意的增加，而是增加原文中雖無(wú)其詞確有其意的一些部分。以下是在翻譯過(guò)程中運(yùn)用增譯法的例子。（1）原文：I was raised thinking that its perfectly natural to express your creativity.譯文：父母的教育使得我認(rèn)為表現(xiàn)自己的創(chuàng)造才能是十分自然的事情。分析：此句亦為被動(dòng)句的翻譯，為了使其符合漢

12、語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言特征，增加其主語(yǔ)，化被動(dòng)句為主動(dòng)句。（2）原文：Turk grew up as a middle child in a home life that exactingly foreshadowed her future career. 譯文：在她的兄弟姐妹中，Turk是年齡居中的，這完全預(yù)示了她的未來(lái)生涯。分析：此句表達(dá)較為復(fù)雜，為了能使其便于理解，適當(dāng)增加成分，以達(dá)到充分解釋句意的目的。4.2特殊句式翻譯4.2.1被動(dòng)句的翻譯漢語(yǔ)中也使用被動(dòng)句但不如英語(yǔ)中使用的頻率高，翻譯時(shí)如果直接翻譯成被動(dòng)句可能使譯文顯得不夠地道通順，下面是處理被動(dòng)句翻譯時(shí)的一些策略。<1>被字句譯成把

13、字句原文：Her success is best described as a happy surprise.譯文：人們貼切地把她的成功比作一個(gè)意外驚喜。<2>化被動(dòng)為主動(dòng)原文：Everything we do is inspired by California.譯文：我們所做的每件事情都源自加利福尼亞的啟發(fā)。4.2.2定語(yǔ)從句的翻譯<1>前置法當(dāng)一個(gè)限定性定語(yǔ)從句結(jié)構(gòu)和意義較為簡(jiǎn)單，或是較為簡(jiǎn)短時(shí)，我們把英語(yǔ)原文的定語(yǔ)從句翻譯成帶“的”的定語(yǔ)詞組, 放置于被修飾的詞之前, 將英語(yǔ)原文復(fù)合句翻譯成漢語(yǔ)的簡(jiǎn)單句。 原文：It shows patterns, which I

14、ve always loved, in a new and exciting way.譯文：它把我一直喜歡的圖案以一種新的、令人興奮的方式呈現(xiàn)出來(lái)。<2>單獨(dú)成句當(dāng)一個(gè)限定性定語(yǔ)從句的結(jié)構(gòu)較為復(fù)雜，意義較為繁雜的時(shí)候，如果把它翻譯在其修飾的先行詞的后面的話，會(huì)顯得定語(yǔ)太過(guò)于臃腫和復(fù)雜，而無(wú)法讓評(píng)卷老師看的清清楚楚，明明白白。所以這個(gè)時(shí)候我們要把定語(yǔ)從句單獨(dú)翻譯出來(lái), 放置于原來(lái)它所修飾的詞的后面當(dāng)定語(yǔ)。同時(shí)當(dāng)定語(yǔ)從句是一個(gè)非限定性定語(yǔ)從句的時(shí)候，往往也要單獨(dú)成句。例如：原文：Her mother, whose Japanese heritage informs much of Tr

15、inas multicultural prints and colors, made her clothes, Christmas decorations and taught Turk to sew when she was 11.譯文：母親是日本血統(tǒng)，會(huì)親手給Turk做衣服、圣誕飾品。在Turk 11歲時(shí),母親就教她縫紉。母親的遺傳使得Turk通曉多種文化的圖案和顏色。4.2.3長(zhǎng)難句的翻譯斷句法斷句法在英譯漢中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。由于英語(yǔ)句子結(jié)構(gòu)比較復(fù)雜，從句較多，此時(shí)在翻譯時(shí)就要先理清原句結(jié)構(gòu)，找出句子的主語(yǔ)、謂語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ)，然后再找出其他修飾成分，再按照漢語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言習(xí)慣調(diào)整搭配。對(duì)長(zhǎng)句恰當(dāng)?shù)?/p>

16、分開(kāi)翻譯。（1）原文：After graduation, she worked for various designers like Brittania Jeans for 12 years before giving her own line a go in 1995. 譯文：畢業(yè)后，她曾為許多設(shè)計(jì)師工作過(guò)，比如在1995年開(kāi)始創(chuàng)建自己的品牌之前，她曾為Brittania Jeans工作了12年之久。（2）原文：She opened her first store in Palm Springs in 2002 and now has seven standalone boutiques,

17、a menswear collection designed by her husband called Mr. Turk, and partnerships spanning from St. Regis Hotels and Resorts to Schumacher, for whom she is planning a third collection of indoor/outdoor upholstery fabrics for summer 2014. 譯文：2002年，她在棕櫚泉開(kāi)創(chuàng)了自己的第一家店。現(xiàn)如今，她已經(jīng)擁有七家獨(dú)立精品店以及一家由她丈夫設(shè)計(jì)的名叫Mr.Turk的男裝

18、店。同時(shí)，作為瑞吉度假酒店與淑美赫時(shí)尚女裝的合作商，她正在為其設(shè)計(jì)2014年夏天的第三系列室內(nèi)或室外生活布藝。5、總結(jié)翻譯是促使民族、國(guó)家、文化交流與發(fā)展的工具，練好翻譯的唯一途徑就是不斷實(shí)踐。在此過(guò)程中會(huì)遇到許多棘手的問(wèn)題，這使我深刻認(rèn)識(shí)到翻譯理論的指導(dǎo)作用，只有充分掌握翻譯理論并將其靈活運(yùn)用于實(shí)踐中，才能幫助解決翻譯中遇到的問(wèn)題，提高翻譯能力。同時(shí)，在翻譯完成后仍需需要反復(fù)修改不斷完善。想要翻譯好一篇文章，扎實(shí)的英漢功底是必不可少的，同時(shí)也要做大量的準(zhǔn)備工作，如：了解背景知識(shí)、分析文體特征與語(yǔ)言特色。經(jīng)過(guò)此次翻譯實(shí)踐，加深了對(duì)翻譯的認(rèn)識(shí)與理解，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己更加的喜歡翻譯這個(gè)職業(yè)，同時(shí)也發(fā)現(xiàn)自己

19、還有許多需要提高，學(xué)習(xí)的地方。同時(shí)也為將來(lái)的翻譯奠定了基礎(chǔ)，樹立了自信。翻譯是一項(xiàng)任重而道遠(yuǎn)的工作，想要取得成績(jī)?nèi)孕枥^續(xù)努力！參考文獻(xiàn)【1】Eugene, A. N. & R. T. Charles .

45、句，具有諷刺意味的是：迄今為止，在她最成功的作品中，有一件問(wèn)世于距離她摯愛(ài)的家鄉(xiāng)三千英里之外的地方。2月10號(hào)，在林肯中心，Turk 完成了她的第一次紐約時(shí)裝展。這次她所謂的“實(shí)驗(yàn)秀”開(kāi)啟了豐收的一年，吸引了大量香蕉共和國(guó)的優(yōu)秀合作者，同時(shí)她的第八家同名連鎖店也將在亞特蘭大入駐。Turk以前做過(guò)作家展，但是這次是她在時(shí)裝周上的首秀。面對(duì)5千萬(wàn)的總收益和明確的目標(biāo)，怎么會(huì)不成功呢？Turk致力于打造更時(shí)尚、更具視覺(jué)沖擊的品牌形象。她想把加利福尼亞的渴望國(guó)際認(rèn)可的想法傳遞給每個(gè)人。她說(shuō)“我們什么都想自己制造，從鞋子到手提包、太陽(yáng)鏡，都要自己做?！?Turk沉思道：“西海岸很棒，但是它距離紐約這個(gè)世界時(shí)尚之都太遠(yuǎn)。有時(shí)候，離開(kāi)洛杉磯就感覺(jué)像是不在人們的視野之內(nèi)，被人們所遺忘。今年，我想要踏入這里生活。”她不斷摸索，最終決定在加利福尼亞開(kāi)發(fā)一些房地產(chǎn)并且要在林肯中心開(kāi)店來(lái)展示她的秋季系列。她曾在西雅圖的華盛頓大學(xué)學(xué)過(guò)服裝設(shè)計(jì)。她認(rèn)為這里“不堪稱為時(shí)尚設(shè)計(jì)
