“乌黑的”如何译？-英语点津
<p>英语和汉语中都有用实物名词来表示颜色的现象。这都是人们长期利用实物来描述颜色所遗留下来的产物。用实物来表达颜色的词有两种情况，一是专用实物表达颜色。如“茶色”、“玫瑰色”等；另一种是实物词加颜色词。其表达方式有：</p><p>1.单用式；比如：<span word="While">While</span> <span word="laughing">laughing</span>, <span word="she">she</span> <span word="revealed">revealed</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="red">red</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="ivory">ivory</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="mouth">mouth</span>.(她笑时露出了红唇白齿)。</p><p>2.实物颜色词加颜色词式，如：<span word="snow">snow</span>-<span word="white">white</span> (雪白)，<span word="emerald">emerald</span>-<span word="green">green</span> 3.实物颜色词加“色”式，如：<span word="honey">honey</span>-<span word="colored">colored</span>/<span word="hued">hued</span>/<span word="tinted">tinted</span> 4.短语式，如：<span word="the">the</span> <span word="color">color</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="pig">pig</span>’<span word="s">s</span> <span word="liver">liver</span> 5.作定语式，如：<span word="her">her</span> <span word="rosy">rosy</span> <span word="cheeks">cheeks</span> 2. 借译 当一种语言中某种实物代表某种颜色，而另一种语言则没有用这种实物代表这种颜色的习惯，可以从译语中找出与原实物颜色相对应或相近的另一种实物来表达这种颜色。</p><p>如： <span word="raven">raven</span> <span word="hair">hair</span> 乌黑的头发/漆黑的头发 ；<span word="pitch">pitch</span> <span word="black">black</span>/<span word="jet">jet</span>-<span word="black">black</span> 漆黑； <span word="ivory">ivory</span>-<span word="colored">colored</span> / <span word="cream">cream</span>-<span word="colored">colored</span> 米色； <span word="opal">opal</span>-<span word="colored">colored</span> 乳白色</p><p>3. 意译 对于那些在一种语言中常用，而在另一种语言中不常用或不使用的实物颜色词在译语里面又找不到可以借用表达这种颜色的实物颜色词，最好采取意译即使用基本颜色词的方法。如：</p><p>…<span word="small">small</span> <span word="features">features</span>, <span word="very">very</span> <span word="fair">fair</span>; <span word="flaxen">flaxen</span> <span word="ringlets">ringlets</span>, <span word="or">or</span> <span word="rather">rather</span> <span word="golden">golden</span>, <span word="hanging">hanging</span> <span word="loosely">loosely</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="delicate">delicate</span> <span word="neck">neck</span>…</p><p>细巧的脸蛋，白皙的皮肤，淡黄色的卷发——也许不如说是金黄色来得恰当——松松地批垂在她那细嫩的脖子上…</p>
