14、委婉語(yǔ)的五種社交功能,即:禁忌避諱功能,禮貌功能,掩飾功能,積極功能,褒揚(yáng)功能。通過(guò)分析, 我們進(jìn)一步理解了委婉語(yǔ), 尤其是英語(yǔ)委婉語(yǔ),它用婉轉(zhuǎn)含蓄的表達(dá)美化了語(yǔ)言,使人們的社交生活更為和諧。但當(dāng)談到其翻譯時(shí),有幾點(diǎn)我我們需要注意。第一,英語(yǔ)俚語(yǔ)中關(guān)于委婉語(yǔ)的翻譯,委婉語(yǔ)在俚語(yǔ)中所占的比重是比較大的。委婉語(yǔ)的出現(xiàn),往往是生活中人們交往時(shí),出現(xiàn)使人難堪、令人難以啟齒或易傷感情的場(chǎng)合,人們有意識(shí)回避直接觸及,而是采用比較溫和、文雅而又形象的語(yǔ)詞,曲折地表達(dá)出自己的觀點(diǎn)、看法和情感。這種表達(dá)方式,在漢語(yǔ)中也是經(jīng)常碰到的,而且有時(shí)中英文對(duì)于同一語(yǔ)義有著極相同或相似的表達(dá)方式。因而在進(jìn)行英漢互譯時(shí),可作同等的翻譯第二,英語(yǔ)俚語(yǔ)中關(guān)于賭咒語(yǔ)的翻譯在英漢兩種語(yǔ)言中,都有用賭咒、發(fā)誓、祈誓來(lái)表達(dá)強(qiáng)調(diào)、僧惡、不滿、希望等情緒的詞語(yǔ)。但是,值得注意的是,賭咒詞語(yǔ)所表達(dá)的含義,往往不是其字面意思。因此,在翻譯時(shí)應(yīng)采用意譯的方式。在翻譯的過(guò)程中,既要保留其原來(lái)的意思,也要很據(jù)中外不同的文化背景和語(yǔ)言習(xí)慣,進(jìn)行翻譯上的調(diào)整,使其更符合本國(guó)人的習(xí)慣。從以下實(shí)例中,可以窺其翻譯中對(duì)原俚語(yǔ)的調(diào)整。第三,英語(yǔ)俚語(yǔ)中粗俗語(yǔ)的翻譯所謂粗俗語(yǔ)一般是指侮辱性的、不堪人耳的粗暴詞語(yǔ),它的實(shí)際意思并不是其字面所表達(dá)的意思。它的目的是用粗俗的詞語(yǔ)來(lái)發(fā)
