This course introduces students to various principles and concepts of translation. It equips them with a sound intellectual framework, translation techniques and methods, which will enable them to translate effectively.
Assuming no knowledge of foreign languages, this book is a key text for students in Translation Studies. It progressively looks at the meaning of single words and expressions, combination of words and phrases, grammatical categories, word order and cohesion, texts use in communicative situations, interplay between verbal and visual elements, and reflections on ethics and morality. Rather than adopting the “top-down” approach of textual analysis, this book is organized bottom-up, starting with simple words and phrases, in hopes of benefiting those who are not trained linguists and in awareness that students need to understand how the lower levels control and shape the overall meaning of the text.
This book ranges across the whole of human experience, from foreign films to philosophy, to show why translation is at the heart of what we do and who we are. In 32 chapters, the book covers from the myth of literal translation or translation as a dialect, to translation and the spread of international law, simultaneous interpreting, and the challenges posed by the translation of humor. It argues that for anything like a civilization to exist, some kind of interlingual communication has to happen, and that translation practices must thus be regarded as quite central to what it means to be human.
The target audience of this book is the practitioners and instructors of conference interpreting and/or translation. Gile argues that professional translation entails students’ understanding of the theoretical approach that translation serves for communication between the initiator and the receptor. He points out that adding or deleting words and reframing sentences do not necessarily violate the principle of fidelity, and that translation must be conducted with discourse comprehension. Gile offers a number of models for simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting, sight translation, and simultaneous with texts, including a sequential model, the effort model of simultaneous interpreting, and the IDRC model (Interpretation-Decision-Resources-Constraints).
This book serves as the coursebook of translation principles and methodology for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. Part I introduces principles for translating. Newmark emphasizes that translation serves to reveal truths- he argues that languages in all cultures are translatable. Newmark points out the practice of translation entails the analysis of texts, including the intention of the translator, text styles, etc. Part II Methods prepare thirteen texts for four types of exercises. Newmark makes analysis of the problems of the source language texts, presents both the semantic translation and the communicative translation, translations with commentaries, and examples of translation criticism.
The Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies has been the standard, highly distinctive reference work in its field since it first appeared in 1968. Many of its features are not found elsewhere, especially its series of short histories of translation. Part I: General surveys the theory and practice of many disciplines now subsumed into the rubric Translation Studies, illuminating its dynamic development and widening contexts. Part II: History and Traditions spans 32 geographic, linguistic, or cultural areas, outlining and assessing each of their translation histories and traditions- Africa through to Turkey.
This book is a systematic study of the discipline Translation Studies. The emphasis throughout is on literary translation. It is organized in three sections. Section One is concerned with the central issues of translation, with the problem of meaning, untranslatability and equivalence, and with the question of translation as a part of communication theory. Section Two traces lines through different time periods, to show how concepts of translation have differed through the ages and yet have been bound by common links. Section Three examines the specific problems of translating poetry, prose and drama.
This book is aimed at disseminating knowledge about translation and interpreting and providing easy access to a large range of topics, traditions, and methods to a relatively broad audience, including students, researchers and lecturers in Translation Studies, as well as practitioners, scholars and experts from other related disciplines (linguistics, sociology, history, psychology, etc.). Readers of general interest are also target audience of this book. Therefore, this book collects relatively brief overview articles. There are altogether 74 articles arranged in alphabetical order, elaborating important conceptions in Translation Studies, such as Applied Translation Studies, Computer-aided translation, etc.
This book, containing more than 300 articles, provides a comprehensive and highly accessible survey of key terms and concepts, types of activity, and schools and approaches. Each term is presented and defined within the context in which it first occurred. Major entries also generally include a discussion of a number of different viewpoints on the term as well as comments on how usage and application might have developed since it was first coined or used. Nearly all foreign terms are cited in English translation. Each entry includes extensive cross-referencing to other entries and suggestions for further reading.
This book is designed as a coursebook for undergraduates and postgraduates in translation studies as well as an introductory book for students, researchers, instructors, and professional translators. There are altogether 12 chapters, covering Jakobson’s classification of translation, the Holmes/Toury conceptual map, the “literal vs. free” translation debate, Eugene Nida’s concepts of equivalence, Newmark’s categories of translation, Koller’s analysis of equivalence, Vinay and Darbelnet’s taxonomy, Catford’s linguistic model, the interpretive model of the Paris School, Bell’s psycholinguistic model, Gutt’s relevance theory, Reiss and Vermeer’s text-type and skopos theory, Nord’s text-linguistic approach, House’s register analysis model, Baker, Hatim and Mason’s discourse-oriented approaches, etc.
This reader aims at the audience group of advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, course instructors, and scholars in translation theory and history, as well as practitioners with a theoretical inclination. The reader is divided into 7 sections in a chronological order. While the first section Foundational Statements examines theories before the 1900s, the last section after the 2000s, all the other five sections in the middle looks into theories in the 1900s. Venuti suggests that readers not only read historically, but also thematically. Readers can group together theories with the same themes. Venuti also suggests that readers can use supplementary readings, and further readings are recommended in each section.
This book presents an introduction to the valuable position translation holds within literature and society. It traces the history of translation, examining the ways translation is currently utilised as a burgeoning interdisciplinary activity and considers more recent research into developing technologies and new media forms. Topics covered include the origins and development of translation studies, postcolonial translation, translation and gender, translating across time, the visibility of the translator, redefining translation in a global age, and boundaries of translation. A fundamental premise is that translation is at the heart of global communication today, and that translation has played a central role in the transmission of ideas and literatures over the centuries.
本书作者以纽马克的翻译理论与功能派翻译理论中的目的论为主要依据，探讨了非文学翻译的理论与实践。作者认为小说、诗歌、戏剧、影视翻译等属于文学翻译，其在全部翻译总量中只占较小的部分，而绝大部分翻译还是通俗理解为科学文章或应用文的非文学翻译。作者认为，在非文学翻译中重要原则有三，一是要根据翻译的目的选择正确的翻译方法，不存在直译和意译谁优谁劣的绝对，二是要准确地反映客观事实，三是要语言质朴简洁，不要盲目地追求文艺性。
This book works on how to recognize elements of Chinglish in a first draft and how to revise it so as to eliminate those elements. Part One deals with unnecessary words, including unnecessary nouns and verbs, unnecessary modifiers, redundant twins, saying the same thing twice, and repeated references to the same thing. Part Two deals with sentence structure, including the noun plague, pronouns and antecedents, the placement of phrases and clauses, dangling modifiers, parallel structure, and logical connectives. Part Three supplements with key to exercises and selected bibliography. The examples of Chinglish presented here are authentic.
