汉语中我们常说的排比是将三个以上结构相同或相似，语意相关，语气一致的词组或者句子排列起来形成一个整体。恰当地运用排比可以加强气势，突出表达内容，使句式整齐，富有感染力，给读者留下深刻的印象。 排比有两个字的、三个字的、四个的短语，也有句子的排比，下面我就来谈一下排比句翻译的具体方法(本文文学翻译的例子均出自《张培基英译现代散文选》)： 直译法 因为它是一种“长期抗战”的力，有弹性，能屈能伸的力，有韧性，不达目的不止的力。 The rock is utterly helpless before this force — a force that will forever remain militant, a force that is resilient and can take temporary setbacks calmly, a force that is tenacity itself and will never give up until the goal is reached. 爱逐臭争利，锱铢必较的，请到长街闹市去；爱轻嘴薄舌的，争是论非的，请到茶馆酒楼去；爱锣鼓钲镗，管弦嗷嘈的，请到歌台剧院去；爱宁静淡泊，沉思默想的，深深的小巷在欢迎你。 Those who strive after fame and gain, and haggle over every penny, please go to the downtown area! Those who are sharp-tongued and quarrelsome, please go to the teahouse or restaurant! Those who love deafening gongs and drums as well as noisy wind and string instruments, please go to the opera house or theatre! Those who are given to profound meditation and a quiet life without worldly desires, welcome to the lane! |
