词林漫步 | “内卷”英译可以用这个词！

2020年，原本属于学术范畴的“内卷”开始出现在社会大众的视野之中，后来引发了广泛的共鸣。先是清华大学大一学生的作业太难，有人用“超级内卷”加以评价，在网络上激起热烈讨论，从此“内卷”跨出学术领域，引申用于描述学生沉重的课业负担和竞争压力。最经典的例子，莫过一张被称为“清华卷王”的照片。照片里，几个清华学生骑着自行车，居然有人边骑车边用笔记本电脑。群体内部竞争激烈，为了取得微小优势，每个成员都

词林漫步 | “性恶论”怎么译？

我国古代哲学家荀子提出“性恶论”。有篇文章将“性恶论”译为theory of sexual evil。一般来说，人工翻译不会犯这样低级的错误，这可能是机器翻译造成的恶果，犯错的根源在于对“性”字意义的理解只知其一，不知其二。 “性”的第一个意思是“人的本性”，英语译为original human nature或inborn human nature。“人性”，英语译为human nature。例

谭译录 | 中译英策略与方法（三十四）

对词汇的用法进行分析，特别是对自己的母语提出问题，是一个有益的学习过程。母语使用者对母语的理解常常停留在感性的层面，有个感觉，但道理不一定说得清楚，或者不会特意地去盘根问底地分析一个词在不同语境下使用的不同特点。做一点“技术性”的分析，对提高翻译的准确度还是很有帮助的。这一期我们继续讨论几个常见词的译法。 1. 资格《现代汉语词典》（第7版）对“资格”的解释是：从事某种活动所应具备的条件、身

谭译录 | Nature大自然

To go into solitude， a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write， though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone， let him look at t

谭译录 | 《大国速度百年京张》1（续二）From Steam to HSR—100 Years on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Line (Excerpt)

修建京张铁路，最困难的是从南口到青龙桥这一段。主要是山势陡峭坡度高，还需要修很长的隧道。2作为总工程师，詹天佑每天骑着毛驴，亲自与工程技术人员去实地进行勘测。无论是骄阳似火，或是狂风大作，还是暴雨如注，他总是身背标杆和测量仪，奔波在崎岖的山间小路上。 The most difficult section was from Nankou to Qinglong Bridge. The main

谭译录 | 《哈姆雷特》难点释疑

在著名悲剧《哈姆雷特》（Hamlet）中，由于莎士比亚这位戏剧大师极为渊博的学识和娴熟高超的语言运用技能，再加上主人公哈姆雷特有时装疯说些极为隐晦难懂的话，有很多地方不易理解，翻译起来也难以处理。现在我就举几个例子，谈一谈自己的理解与翻译。例一：第一幕第一场霍雷肖看到已故老王显灵，认为这对丹麦是个不祥之兆，为此他列举了罗马帝国从鼎盛走向衰落前天上和人间出现的异常现象。除了提到和丹麦已故国王

学苑 | 读原著学英语（十八）

Paper Money这部小说中不时就会出现我过去没见过的短语，我能从中学到的东西比较多。stone the crows就是其中的一个。书中的原文是这样的： Jesse pulled into the road and the patrol car was lost from view. He wiped his brow. He was trembling. ‘Gawd， stone the

学苑 | 钱锺书与英语修辞格Oxymoron

“凡尔赛文学”一词近年来十分火热，曾入围《咬文嚼字》杂志选出的“2020年十大流行语”。早在10年前，美国喜剧演员哈里斯·维特尔斯（Harris Wittels）便创造了humblebrag一词，并有专著Humblebrag： The Art of False Modesty行世，humblebrag正是英文版的“凡尔赛文学”。 humble（谦恭）与brag（吹嘘）显然是一对互为矛盾的词，把两

学苑 | 影视英语之习语举隅

观看英语影视剧，我们碰到成语和谚语的机会不算太多，但对于英语不是母语的人来说，遇到含有成语或谚语的台词，尤其是改头换面的谚语或半截子谚语，我们往往不知所云，最好事先有所储备。电影《四个婚礼一个葬礼》（Four Weddings and a Funeral）中，男主人公Charles在结婚仪式进行当中突然决定取消婚礼，遭到新娘一顿暴打。之后，他和几个朋友回到房间休息。不久，门铃响了，其他人想去开

应试点津 | 指称还原：考研英语代词的翻译策略

英汉两种语言中，代词的使用有显著差异。英语中代词的使用频率明显高于汉语。也就是说，汉语中名词重复现象更多，英语则往往使用代词，避免名词重复。因此，在英汉翻译中，如果英语句子中包括具有实际指称意义的代词，我们通常需要将其指代的具体内容还原出来，这样处理可让汉语译文更为可读，也更为通顺。考研英语中尤其需要将代词指代内容翻译出来，这不仅是提高译文质量的要求，也是考查学生是否真正理解代词在上下文中指代的内
