政府机构英文译名 第3篇
Hong Kong(HK)worships the same ancestor,shares one language and enjoys similar culture with Inland,although due to certain historical reasons it had been governed by Britain for as long as 150 years.So it's not strange that they share the same ideas in translating Clinton and Bill Gates,two well-known figures around the world,and they are translated as克林顿and比尔·盖茨respectively.At the same time political split and geographical division lead to some differences in translation between the two parts of China.If an Inlander comes across the name“贝理雅”in a HK newspaper,he/she will hardly know it refers to the British Prime Minister“布莱尔”.In the same way,HK people won't know“戛纳电影节”is the same film festival with“康城电影节”and will mistake it as another one.
These differences in translated terms bring inconveniences to people of the two places and impede,in one way or another,their interchange in culture,technology,ideology,literature,as well as in political contact and economic cooperation.In the following part,I'd like to tell you the ins and the outs of the phenomenon through analyzing the difference in translated terms between HK and Inland and exploring the reasons for it.
2 Phenomenon
The difference of translated terms between HK and Inland is shown in every aspect of people's life.
2.1 Name translation
In translating the famous names in political circle,HK and Inland,in most cases,are in agreement,because they both adopt the translations made by Xinhua Agency.However,there are still some exceptions.Bush,the ex-president of USA,is known as“布什”in Inland and“布殊”in HK.In translating celebrities names of other circles,the two places are diverse largely(Table1).
2.2 Place translation
The translation difference between HK and Inland is also reflected in place translation(Table 2).
2.3 Film translation
The translation of film names is another field that embodies this kind of difference(Table 3).
2.4 Technical terms
With the development of technology,many new terms have been created and appeared in this field and surged into China immediately(Table 4).
2.5 Food
Although two places have different habits in drinking and eating,they enjoy some common foods and they give some of them different Chinese names(Table 5).
2.6 Others(Table 6)
3 The Features of HK Translation
3.1 Localization
Geographically HK is adjacent to Guangdong Province and they share one dialect–Yue Dialect(a dialect of Chinese)and Mandarin(the standard Chinese)is not popular there until recent years.So in translating foreign names HK chooses Yue Dialect as the target language instead of Mandarin which Inland uses.In HK“soda”is“梳打”instead of“苏打”,“Bush”is“布殊”instead o“布什”,and“Madonna”is“玛当娜”instead of“麦当娜”.
3.2 Humanization
Another characteristic of HK translation is humanization,which is displayed to the full in translating the female's names.In order to show the specific features of the female,when translating their names,HK tends to break the limitations of syllables and use words that are of these features,such as“丽、珍、丝、芙、嘉”.The HK translation of the name“Rachel”,for instance,is“丽珍”while the Inland is“雷切尔”.Other instances are tha Michelle Jones in HK is“钟美雪”,while in Inland is“米歇尔·琼斯”and Jennifer in HK is“珍妮花”,while in Inland is“珍妮弗”.
3.3 Commercialization
HK is a city that is highly commercialized,and the characteristic of commercialization is embodied in translation,especially in the translation of film names.As we know that the name,to certain extent,decides the success or failure of a film,which is also true in its translation.Consequently,in order to attract more viewers,HK adopts the strategy of free translation instead of the literal one.If the American film Silver Strand is translated literally,its Chinese translation is“银色海滩”.But when it is released in HK,it was translated,according to the plot,as“军官、士兵和他的情人”which became more attractive immediately.The name of the film Chocolate is insipid,but in its HK translation some flavor is added to it and it is translated into“情迷朱古力”.Undoubtedly,these clever translations contribute to the success of these films in HK.
4 Reasons for the Difference
4.1 Different target language
If the method of transliteration is taken in translation,the results would depend on the target language.Although the language into which HK and Inland do the translation is Chinese,the target language adopted by the former is Yue Dialect and the latter is Mandarin.In translating the word“hacker”,for instance,HK uses the character“骇”to translate the syllable“ha-”while Inland choose another one“黑”.As a result we have two translations“骇客”and“黑客”.Other examples are“荷里活”and“好莱坞”for“Hollywood”,“梳发”and“沙发”for“sofa”,“沙律”and“沙拉”for“salad”and so on.
4.2 Different translation methods for one object
In translation,transliteration,literal translation and free translation are used by both HK and Inland,but these methods are always adopted to different objects.In translating film names,for example,Inland places“faithfulness”in the first place and usually uses literal translation while HK prefers the free one,which results in the different translations for the same film.In translating some common nouns,for another example,HK employs the method of transliteration and Inland employs free translation.So strawberry is“草莓”in Inland and“士多啤梨”in HK.Cases are the same to“boss”and“tips”and so on.
4.3 Different life style and cultural background
People in HK lead a quicker life than Inland people.Because time and energy can be saved,short and pithy terms are more welcome than long and complicated ones.If you look through the examples listed in the paper,you'll find that in most cases HK translations are at least shorter than Inland ones.
Translation is a kind of cultural activity,which means a country or region's culture can be embodied in its translation.So we see HK's translations for the films“Pay It Forward”and“Dr.Dolittle”are“拉阔爱的人”and“D笃佬日记”.If you want to know their meanings,you must know something about HK's culture.
5 Conclusion
The different translations for the same thing between HK and Inland have,to some extent,become a barrier to the exchange of the two places,no matter in economy,politics or culture.The best way to solve the problem,I think,is let nature take its course.With the exchange of HK and Inland becoming frequent,the different translations and the inconveniences with it will be less and less.And in the process,what we both should do is learn from each other's strong points and do it according to the fundamental realities of each other.

英文电影片名译名初探 第8篇
作为一种文化艺术形式, 电影已成为现代人日常生活中不可或缺的一个组成部分。近年来国外 (主要是美国) 大量影视片经港台译介涌入大陆, 一方面虽然有力地保证了不同年龄、文化层次的观众的需求, 丰富了人们的物质文化生活需要, 但另一方面又由于港台和内地影片名翻译上的不统一导致的混乱, 译名常常不仅未能起到“导视”的作用, 反而误导观众重复看片。
1 英文电影片名汉译现状
目前影视领域英文电影翻译混乱的现状突出表现在译名的混乱上, 具体表现是一部电影往往有两个甚至数个译名, 其中不乏错译、歪译。之所以一部电影有多个译名一是内地、香港、台湾三地社会政治制度和文化背景的不同 (这一点此前已有人撰文论及, 此处不再赘述) , 二是翻译的特殊性造成的。不同译者在汉译英文电影片名时由于采取了不同的翻译方法, 出现多个译名也就不足为奇了。如High Crimes有《一级重罪》、《极度重罪》、《罪大恶极》、《高度戒备》、《高度犯罪》、《案藏玄机》、《幕后机密》七个译名;Bad Company有《坏公司》、《坏蛋公司》、《神鬼拍挡》、《乌龙拍挡》、《最差拍挡》、《临时持工》、《火拼双辣》七个译名。
除了多个译名造成的混乱外, 译者对原片名中的字词在理解上缺乏灵活性, 从而使得有的译名生硬、晦涩难懂。如有人把Sea Biscuit译为《海洋饼干》就让人感到莫名其妙。查陆谷孙主编英汉大词典可知sea biscuit意为硬饼干或压缩饼干, 在电影中是一匹赛马的呢称。由此可见, 翻译工作者需勤查词典, 不能不懂装懂、生搬硬套, 否则就会贻笑大方。美国伦理道德片American Beauty最初被译为《美国美人》、《美国丽人》 (该片在央视电影频道上映时采用译名译为《美丽有罪》) 。实际上这里的beauty并非指美人, American beauty也不是什么美国美人, 而是一种杂种红玫瑰。后来笔者又见到了以下两个译名:《美国心·玫瑰情》、《美国美女·玫瑰情》算是对前译的修正。
译者知识面的贫乏造成影片名的乱译更让人啼笑皆非, 如根据英国小说家狄更斯的同名小说Great Expectations改编而成的电影的重拍版。旧版电影的译名是《孤星血泪》, 新版的两个译名《爱情有刺》和《烈爱风云》可谓别出心裁。作为小说, Great Expectations遁行的译法是《远大前程》, 翻拍片可沿用此译名以维系其严肃性。
翻译英文电影片名时还应避免落入俗套。一些主演过多部大片的明星主演的电影往往被译成一个模式, 举例来说, 大名鼎鼎的动作明星阿诺德·施瓦辛格主演的电影在台湾译名中又往往冠以“魔鬼”二字。如True Lies《魔鬼大帝》, Running Man《魔鬼阿诺》, Commando《魔鬼司令》, Total Recall《魔鬼总动员》, Kindergarten Cop《魔鬼孩子王》, The Terminator《魔鬼终结者》, Junior《魔鬼二世》, Eraser《魔鬼毁灭者》, Last Action Hero《最后魔鬼英雄》。
2 英文电影片名汉译策略
翻译中的一些基本方法都可以运用于电影片名的翻译, 如直译、意译或双管齐下。因此, 翻译英文电影片名时能直译要尽可能直译。可以直译的电影片名的例子不胜枚举, 然而直译有时却是错译。如前面提到的Bad Company七个译名中直译的译名《坏公司》明显不符合汉语表达习惯, 是一种错译。该译名的问题出在company-词的理解上。这个译名本身讲不通, 何谓坏公司?从电影内容来看, 此处company应指伙伴。这是忽视电影内容而对片名的字词理解错误的例子。本片讲述的是中央情报局探员凯文混入黑社会卧底, 在即将完成任务之时不幸被杀。由于案情的侦破已到了关键时刻, 中情局万般无奈之下, 只好安排凯文的孪生兄弟杰克继续完成任务。然而杰克终日游手好闲、无所事事, 对情报工作一窍不通, 于是中情局找来凯文的搭档盖洛德, 希望在九天之内把杰克培训成训练有素的高级特工。然而盖洛德与杰克性格迥异, 二人互不相让, 势成水火, 故事由此展开。据此, 上述译名中《临时特工》最符合片名与剧情。无独有偶, 著名影星梅尔·吉勃逊主演的Brave Heart的译名也值得商榷。这部电影共有三个译名:《勇敢的心》、《英雄本色》与《惊世未了缘》。片名中的heart是一种提喻 (synecdoche) 修辞格, 实指人。故事再现了英勇的苏格兰人民为了争取自由独立而与英军展开不屈不挠的斗争的历史。Brave Heart其实是片中主人公无畏的英雄气概的写照, 台湾意译为《英雄本色》从深层次上反映出了这一实质性的内容。香港译为《惊世未了缘》则从另一个视角反映了男女主人公虽相爱却无法摆脱生离死别的噩运。这种另起炉灶的译法虽从侧面反映了电影的部分内容, 但与本片的主旨相去甚远。原片名彰现阳刚之气, 但《惊世未了缘》却掩盖了电影所要渲染的基调。
英文影视片名的翻译除直译外常采取的方法有:
1) 直译扩展
一些英文电影取名非常简单, 汉译时可直译。然而直译的结果是中文片名平淡无奇, 不是象科普片, 就是象风光片, 无法承载“导视”功能。在这种情况下, 须依据影片剧情, 在直译的基础上增加字词, 扩展原片名信息量, 使之真正发挥其应有功能。如Congo《刚果惊魂》, The Net《网络惊魂》, Hyper-sonic《极速惊魂》, 分别增加“惊魂”二字以示其紧张、刺激的故事情节。Mosquito《食人巨蚊》, Scream《夺命狂呼》, The Lift《恐怖电梯》, 分别增加“食人”、“夺命”、“恐怖”等词以示其恐怖的剧情。The Expert《恋爱专家》, The Specialist《炮弹专家》, 增加“恋爱”、“炮弹”以指明范围, 同时暗示出影片的类型。Caligula《暴帝卡里古拉》, Pretty Woman《风月俏佳人》, 增加“暴帝”二字指明主人公身份, 增加“风月”二字暗示出女主角所从事的职业。同时调动了观众猎奇的心理, 究竟卡里古拉有多残暴?为何漂亮的女人沦落风尘?类似的例子还有:The Beach《迷幻沙滩》, Anaconda《狂蟒之灾》, Gossip《致命流言》, Water World《未来水世界》, New York Nights《纽约风情夜》等。通过这种“扩译法”翻译的原片名, 如采取直译则显得索然寡味, 缺乏感染力与吸引力, 深度与美感。
2) 双管齐下
有的译名很难说是绝对的直译或是单纯的意译, 而是中和了二者的直意兼容的形式。如First Knight《剑侠风流》, The Fugitive《亡命天涯》, Home Alone《小鬼当家》, Easy Rider《逍遥骑士》, Alabama Sweet Home《情归阿拉巴马》, All the President's Men《总统班底》, The Bridge of Madison County《廊桥遗梦》, A Man and a Woman:The Romance Continues《男欢女爱未了缘》等。
3) 借用成语
套用汉语成语翻译电影片名其实是一种直意兼容的特殊形式。汉语成语在翻译中的作用自不待言, 而其在英文电影片名翻译中的作用同样不可小觑。恰如其分地使用成语, 可使译名生动、形象、朗朗上口。如《暴跳如雷》Flying to A Rage, 《忍无可忍》Zero Tolerance, 《惊涛骇浪》The Perfect Storm, 《逍遥法外》Catch Me If You Can, 《独一无二》The One and Only, 《凡夫俗子》Ordinary People, 《争分夺秒》Race Against Time, 《千钧一发》Nick of Time, 《疲惫不堪》Whacked, 《蛛丝蚂迹》Along Came a Spider。这些译名简洁易记且与原文形意相合, 直译与意译有机地结合在一起, 不但形似、神似, 而且意似, 符合翻译信、达、雅的标准。其实, 只要巧妙运用汉语成语, 充分发挥汉语的优势, 即可译出与原片名和内容相符的译名。
4) 另起炉灶
有时一部电影的片名无论直译还是意译都无从下手时, 可考虑避开原文的禁锢, 结合电影内容另起炉灶。如Bringing Down the House《我的野蛮网友》, Deep Impact《慧星撞地球》、《天地大冲撞》、《末日救未来》, Sea Biscuit《奔腾年代》, 达斯汀·霍夫曼和汤姆·克鲁斯联袂主演的Rain Man《手足情未了》。这样的处理方式, 看似貌离 (从电影片名上说) , 实则神合 (从电影内容上说) 。即使可以直译的片名有时也作此处理。如Python《死里逃生》。该片如直译应为《蟒蛇》, 但会被人误以为是科教片而失去大量观众。其实, 这是一部惊险、刺激的灾难恐怖片:译者没有死译片名, 而是根据剧情用《死里逃生》这样烘托紧张气氛的字眼译出。这样的译名极具动感, 它能在观众的头脑里产生在面对蟒蛇袭击时, 人们惊慌失措的意象, 从而刺激看片的欲望。再如汤姆·克鲁兹主演的Magnolia《心灵角落》, 大嘴美女朱莉亚·罗伯茨领衔主演的My Best Friend’s Wedding《新娘不是我》、《真的想嫁你》, 史蒂芬·席格Under Siege《绝处逢生》。老牌硬派明星史泰龙主演的Cobra《铁胆威龙》。
采用另起炉灶的译法要注意把握“度”。翻译的原则之一是“忠实”、“通顺”, 另起炉灶的处理方法既不是直译亦非意译, 但这和不忠实于原文又有所不同。片面的追求“忠实”只会出现翻译症。如把The Streetcar Named Desire译为《欲望号街车》, Rain Man译为《雨人》, Ghost Dog-The Way of the Samurai译为《鬼狗杀手》。这样只会使译名貌合神离。影视片名翻译的特殊之处在于它可以不忠实于原片名另行译出, 但这是以牺牲原片名形式, 但不牺牲原片内容为条件的。天马行空般地胡翻乱译只会抹杀观众的审美情趣。
3 结束语
影视片名的翻译是翻译中的一个特殊领域, 它以影视片名的剧情内容为其大语境, 可以不依据原片名, 而以其内容译出。电影片名的用语精练, 结构简单 (多为片语) 。要造成译语观众产生类似于源语观众的价值取向, 译者需匠心独具, 在方寸之间用规范、凝练的语言, 正确、通顺, 最大限度地传达出原片负载的主题思想。
