摘要
通过若干文学作品翻译的例证,探讨文学翻译中直译和意译"度"的问题。认为直译和意译是重合的,它们的"度"就是"正译"——忠实地传达原文的内容、风格和韵味。因此,译者先要"吃透"原文,在分析原文与译文在词法、句法、修辞、文化内涵等方面存在的异同之后,再选择直译还是意译,或是两者兼而有之,以确保翻译的忠实以及原文神韵的有效传达。
The bound between literal translation and free translation will be discussed by analyzing some illustrative translation. It is believed that there is overlap between literal translation and free translation, and this bound is ＂positive translation＂ —the content, style and verve about source text are conveyed faithfully. Thus, it is after a translator has full understanding of source text and makes adequate analysis of source text and target text in terms of their morphology, syntax, rhetoric, cultural connotation and so on that he can decide which is used,literal translation, free translation or both, to make sure faithfulness and good verve.
