摘要
美国语言学家Charles J.Fillmore提出的格语法理论认为:一个句子由动词或具有动词性质的形容词或名词(verbal forces)以及动词的格构成,且动词与其格的关系是相互依附、相互制约的。翻译家Peter Newmark据此提出,如果要分析和翻译一个句子,首先要找出源语中处于中心地位的动词或verbal forces,并理解该动词与其格之间的逻辑语义关系,然后再按目的语中的动词及其各格的语序规则来翻译。运用Newmark的格语法翻译理论探讨了科技英语翻译过程中对verbal forces及格省略现象的处理方法,认为verbal forces宜译为汉语动词,而原文中省略的格宜进行适当的语法及语义补充,只有这样,才能做到在语际间准确传递科技信息。
Case grammar is proposed by Charles J. Fillmore, who holds that a sentence is composed of verbs or verbal forces and their cases which condition each other. Under this theory Peter Newmark suggests that in analyzing and translating a sentence the translator should locate the key verbs and verbal forces in source text and comprehend the logical semantic relationship between verbs and their cases for the purpose of translating them by the regulations of target language. This paper applies the case grammar translation theory by Peter Newmark to the translation of verbal forces and case gaps in EST and comes to the conclusion that verbal forces are better to be translated into Chinese verbs, while case gaps should be filled in according to their syntactic and semantic functions. Thus, accurate transferring of information of science and technology can be achieved.
