词林漫步 | “It is a +形容词+名词+ that从句”怎样译？

前不久，我在查阅文献资料时发现：著名学者周海中教授在1985年发表的《谈谈一句英语谚语的汉译》一文中，将英语谚语“It is an ill wind that blows nobody （any） good.”汉译为“无论怎样坏的风也会对某些人有利。”或“对于某些人有害的事，也许会对另一些人有利。”由此，我想起了怎样用汉语翻译英语结构“It is a +形容词+名词+ that从句”的问题。众

谭译录 | “吃过饭了吗？”和“How are you?”

“吃过饭了吗？”和“How are you？”都是问候语。汉语和英语中的问候语还有多个，如汉语中的“你去哪儿？”“你在干什么？”“家里都好吧！”，英语中的“How do you do？”“Hello！”“Hi！”“What’s up？”。我们主要就“吃过饭了吗？”和“How are you？”之间的翻译转换进行一些讨论，其他大同小异。当我们进行汉译英时，我们习惯把“吃过饭了吗？”等值转换为“H

谭译录 | 英汉口译策略与方法（五）

顺句驱动是许多译员所熟悉的口译策略，在同声传译中的使用尤其频繁。所谓顺句驱动，就是对原文的句子结构不做大幅度调整，基本按照原文的结构或者是意群的顺序进行翻译。但是我们前面也讲过，口译的过程中没有绝对的顺句驱动。根据口译过程的实际情况，译员经常需要进行语序或词序的调整。尽管如此，作为一个训练有素的译员，顺句驱动是应该掌握的一种能力。该顺句的时候能够顺句，该调整的时候能够调整，形成一种能够掌握翻译节奏

谭译录 | 《中国科学技术史·语言与逻辑》选译（四）

【译者言】语言与逻辑之间有着十分密切的关系，然而似乎各种语言里都有一些不符合逻辑的表达式。中文里大家习以为常的一个例子就是“在他没……之前我就……”。这一期英文原文里的All that glitters is not gold 也是如此。Google Translate译成“闪光的不是金子”，DeepL译成“金玉其外败絮其中”，显然都不对，可见这两个机器翻译软件里都没有配备英汉对应的成语库。逻辑学

法律英语 | 法律英语写作中反面判例的处理技巧

一、简介与定义法律英语文书写作中，律师能否检索到和本案相关且对案件受理法院有约束力的判例1是写作成功的基础。这些判例既包括支持己方当事人论点的判例，也包括与己方论点相反或结果不一致、不利于己方当事人的判例。后者一般叫作contrary precedent，即“反面判例”。法律文书，尤其是律师辩论意见书（brief）中，需要预估对方律师会引用哪些反面判例来说服法官得出不利于己方当事人的结果，并弱
