Chapter 1 An Introduction toChinese-English Translation Ⅰ. Translation in China 1. Threepeaks of translation in history 1.1 TheTranslation of Buddhist ['budist ]佛教的Classics: TheFirst Peak Buddhism 佛教originated in India and began to penetrate to China toward themiddle of the first century, leaving a permanent influence on China’s religion,philosophy and social life. Several important figures are worth mentioninghere: 1.1.1 Zhi Qian (支谦) (Zhi Qian made great contribution to translation theory)（佛经翻译的第一阶段、草创时期） It is generally acknowledged that Zhi Qian in the Three Kingdomsperiods wrote the first essay on translation norms. In over thirty years(222-254) he translated about thirty volumes of Buddhist scriptures 圣经in a literal manner.In the essay “Preface to Fa Ju Jing” (《法句经》序)，he put forward his norms thatthe translator of Buddhist classics should “follow the original intention ofthe author without any embroidery（粉飾）”（因循本旨，不加文饰）. And it might be in his period of time that there appeared adiscussion on literal translation and free translation, a core issue in thedevelopment of translation theory. 1.1.2 Dao An (道安)（佛经翻译的第二阶段、发展时期） In the fifth century (the Easter Jin Dynasty), the earliest statetranslation school yichang (译场) was founded and the translation of Buddhist classics was carriedout on a large scale. Dao An (314-385) was appointed its director主管, who advocatedstrict literal translation and made translation a profession. He suggested thata translator should “translate according to the original without any additionand deduction” (案本而传，不令有损言游字). Around 374, Dao An compiled A Comprehensive Catalogue of theSutras['su:trə]经典(《综理众经目 录》 )， abibliography of all translations done before, the first of its kind in thehistory of Chinese Buddhism. 1.1.3Kumarajiva (鸠摩罗什) India by birth, the famous monk Kumarajiva (350-409) was invited toChang’an in 401, a center bustling(热闹繁忙)with Buddhist activities. His task was toretranslate the most influential scriptures and produce definitive editionswith authoritative interpretations. It is he who firstly suggested thattranslators should sign their names in translated works. Kumarajiva’s translations,generally speaking, were more faithful to the original due to his years ofassiduous [ə'sidjuəs]勤勉的,刻苦的effort and study. 1.1.4 XuanZang (玄奘)（佛经翻译的第三阶段、全盛时期） （Journey to the West《西游记》; A Dream of the Red Mansions《红楼梦》;Three Kingdoms《三国演义》;Outlaws of the Marsh《水浒》; Outlaw犯法后躲藏起来的人，Marsh沼 泽、湿地） In the Tang Dynasty, Xuan Zang (600-664), the most eminent figure ofthe first peak in translation history, arrived in India after countless trialsand brought back to the capital Chang’an 657 collections of sutras['su:trə]佛经,经典in the original. Inthe 19 years preceding his death, he translated 75 collections (1,335volumes)of them, which is more than half the total translations of Buddihist scripturesdone in the dynasty. Xuan Zang tried many translation methods and developed hisepoch-making['i:pɔk'meikiŋ]划时代的criteria that translation “must be faithful and intelligible易理解的to the populace [ 'pɔpjuləs ]平民,大眾 ” (既须求真，又须喻俗). 1.2 Thetranslation of books on science and technology: The second peak（科技翻译：中国的士大夫和传教士联手将欧洲的宗教、哲学、科技和文学等“西学”介绍到中国 来。） The second peak, lasting for a span of 200 years, began in the lateMing and early Qing Dynasties around the 17th century. With thearrival of Jesuit [ 'dʒezjuit ] missionaries from Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland,Germany, Belgium and Poland, China came into contact ['kɔntækt] with the Western world gradually. Many missionaries had their worksor

During his charge of the Hanlin Academy Ma #K P)in Beijing, the topacademie institution in China, Xu cooperated with the Italian Jesuit ['dzezjuit耶稣会信徒 Matteo ricci(利玛窦) in translating the I3 volumes of Euclid' s ju: kid Elements of Geometryldsi'omitri(《几何原本》), though only6 volumes( the partof plane geometry)were actually translated.

Some representativefigures include (林则徐) Respectfully regarded as a national hero against British opium tradeand"the first Chinese who opened his eyes to look at the outside world", LinZexu(1785-1850) a government official, was also an eminent organizer oftranslation activity during this period. He established a translation centre in Guangzhou to render some foreign works on history and geography into Chinese aswell as gather information from the Western press. 13.2 LiShanlan(李善兰 133 Lin Shu(林纡shu)(陈宏薇P8 Lin Shu(1852-1924), a traditional Chinese scholor, has been regarded as the pioneer of literary translation in China due to hislarge quantity of translations of Western novels. Interestingly, Lin Shu neverdid hid job independently, instead, he translated with the assistance ofinterpreters because he himself did not know amy foreign languages. He penned elegantclassical Chinese versions of a wide range of foreign works such as Uncle Tom s Cabin(《黑奴吁录》《汤姆叔叔的小屋》); David Copperfield(《块肉余生述》《大卫.科波菲尔》) Oliver Twist (《贼史》《雾都孤儿》) 13.4 Yan Fu(严复) iving in the late Qing society constantly threatened by colonialexpansion and profoundly shocked by the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki ((x*8))of April 1895 withJapan, Yan Fu(1853-1921), became an active reformist and devoted to weavingviaI'vaia, 'vi: s dhis translation Western studies in the broad space of the Chinese language.

National and regional organizationsfor translators were established and a large quantity of scientific andtechnical works was translated into Chinese to meet the demands of nationalsocial and economic construction. Meanwhile, the quality and quantity oftranslations from Chinese into foreign languages acquired encouragingachievements With the conclusion of the so-called"Great Cultural Revolution"and China's adoption of the policy of reform and opening-up, there were renewed ewf efforts in the fieldof translation studies and practice. Never before has so much been translatedby and for so many, be it of a literary, cultural, scientific, economic ortechnological nature. In the last few decades, a number of scholars in China introducedvarious translation principles in view of new discoveries in such branches assemiotics, social-linguistics, intercultural communication, etc. Accordingly, translation theories have witnessed dramatic changes in may areas like notionsof equivalence, faithfulness ts, cultural interaction and conflicts Looking back on the history of translation in China, we find that, on one hand, the long history of translation is worth taking pride in; on theother hand, it is hard to find a systematic translation theory to guidetranslation practice although there do exist some prescriptive explanations onhow to translate. By comparing the situation with Western studies in thisfield, we have to admit that China still has a long way to go in itsdevelopment of translation theory and practice. With its booming /HfE B, KR B economy and theexpansion of its political influence in the intemational community, China nowis facing a new challenge in translation studies. Il.

Meanwhile, the quality and quantity oftranslations from Chinese into foreign languages acquired encouragingachievements. With the conclusion of the so-called “Great Cultural Revolution” andChina’s adoption of the policy of reform and opening-up, there were renewed更新 efforts in the fieldof translation studies and practice. Never before has so much been translatedby and for so many, be it of a literary, cultural, scientific, economic ortechnological nature. In the last few decades, a number of scholars in China introducedvarious translation principles in view of new discoveries in such branches assemiotics, social-linguistics, intercultural communication, etc. Accordingly,translation theories have witnessed dramatic changes in many areas like notionsof equivalence, faithfulness, contexts, cultural interaction and conflicts. Looking back on the history of translation in China, we find that,on one hand, the long history of translation is worth taking pride in; on theother hand, it is hard to find a systematic translation theory to guidetranslation practice although there do exist some prescriptive explanations onhow to translate. By comparing the situation with Western studies in thisfield, we have to admit that China still has a long way to go in itsdevelopment of translation theory and practice. With its booming兴旺的,繁荣的economy and theexpansion of its political influence in the international community, China nowis facing a new challenge in translation studies. II. Thenature and classification of translation (see students’ book) III. Theunits of translation (see students’ book) IV. Thestandard of translation (see students’ book) 1. One is set upby Yan Fu (严复) on the basis of “faithfulness ,expressiveness and elegance” (faithfulness: to be faithful to the contentof the original; expressiveness: to be as expressive as the original; elegance:to be elegant if a translator uses words or sentence patterns before HanDynasty .)(信、达、雅). (信：

The other is put forward by lu Xun(鲁迅) on the basis of" Rather being faithful in thoughtthan smooth in language"(宁信而不顺 3. The new China witnesses two importantscholars on translation. One is Fu Lei and the other is Qian Zhongshu. Theformer suggests achieve the'spiritof the original orexpression resemblance”(神似).(译文同原文如果能在形式上和精神上同时一致起来,或称能达到“形似”和“神似”,这是翻译的高 标准。 Mr Qian Zhongshu puts forward the ideasof" "transfiguration or conversion” which aimed at“ perfection(化境).(所谓“化境”‘就是原作向译文 的“投胎转世”,文字形式虽然换了,而原文投胎的思想、感情、风格、神韵都原原本本的化到了译文的境界里了,丝毫不留下翻译的痕迹,让读者读 译作就完全像在读原作一样。化境是比传神更高的翻译标准。) They two follow the principle offaithfulness 4. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, thereappeared another translator, the monk Dao An(ig). He suggested"preaching according to the original without deduction oraddition(案本而传,不令有损言游字:按照原文的本意) In the history of western translationtheories, there appeared a lot of translation theorists. Here we only mentions criteria. Alexander Fraster Tytlerproposed the famous three principles in his essay on the principles oftranslation, in which he thought that the translation should give acomplete transcript of the ideas of the original work; the style and the mannerof writing should be of the same character with that of the original; thetranslation should have all the ease of original composition”(一、译作应完全复写出原文的思想:二、译作的风格和手法应和原作属于同一性质:三、译作应具备原 作品的通顺, Exactly the three principles are allbased on faithfulness What's the common point of thesetranslation criteria? Despite the variety of opinions, twocriteria (pl )are almost unanimously accepted, namely, the criterion offaithfulness/accuracy (B3E/ME )and that of smoothness(DTE/EN We may also take these criteria as theprinciples of translation in general. By faithfulness/ accuracy, we mean to befaithful not only to the original contents, to the original meaning and views, but also to the original form and style. Examples in the text book P1o-13 arearranged to illustrate and explain that. By smoothness, we mean not only easyand readable rendering, but also idiomatic (ftin g) expressionin the target language, free from stiff formula and mechanical copy ing fromdictionaries.

The other is put forward by Lu Xun (鲁迅) on the basis of “rather being faithful in thoughtthan smooth in language”(宁信而不顺). 3. The new China witnesses two importantscholars on translation. One is Fu Lei and the other is Qian Zhongshu. Theformer suggests “achieve the ‘spirit’ of the original orexpression resemblance”（神似）. (译文同原文如果能在形式上和精神上同时一致起来，或称能达到“形似”和“神似”，这是翻译的高 标准。)Mr. Qian Zhongshu puts forward the ideasof “transfiguration or conversion” which aimed at “perfection”(化境).（所谓“化境”‘就是原作向译文 的“投胎转世”，文字形式虽然换了，而原文投胎的思想、感情、风格、神韵都原原本本的化到了译文的境界里了，丝毫不留下翻译的痕迹，让读者读 译作就完全像在读原作一样。化境是比传神更高的翻译标准。） They two follow the principle offaithfulness. 4. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, thereappeared another translator, the monk Dao An (释道安).He suggested “preaching according to the original without any deduction oraddition” (案本而传，不令有损言游字: 按照原文的本意). In the history of western translationtheories, there appeared a lot of translation theorists. Here we only mentionsome representative opinions on translation criteria. Alexander Fraster Tytlerproposed the famous three principles in his essay on the principles oftranslation, in which he thought that “the translation should give acomplete transcript of the ideas of the original work; the style and the mannerof writing should be of the same character with that of the original; thetranslation should have all the ease of original composition” (一、译作应完全复写出原文的思想；二、译作的风格和手法应和原作属于同一性质；三、译作应具备原创 作品的通顺).Exactly the three principles are allbased on faithfulness. What’s the common point of thesetranslation criteria? Despite the variety of opinions, twocriteria (pl.) are almost unanimously accepted, namely, the criterion offaithfulness/accuracy (忠实/准确) and that of smoothness (流畅/通顺). We may also take these criteria as theprinciples of translation in general. By faithfulness/ accuracy, we mean to befaithful not only to the original contents, to the original meaning and views,but also to the original form and style. Examples in the text book P10-13 arearranged to illustrate and explain that. By smoothness, we mean not only easyand readable rendering, but also idiomatic（地道的） expressionin the target language, free from stiff formula and mechanical copying fromdictionaries.

Chinese charactersare the basic carriers of the traditional Chinese culture, and, as an importanttool for extending, spreading and exchanging ideas, they have played a criticalrole in the long history of the Chinese nation. One may well argue that withoutChinese characters Chinese culture would not have achieved the splendors itdid. The Chinese script is an ideographic writing system, inwhich the graphic图表的structure is directly related to the meaning.Hence the first step toward mastery of Chinese characters is to learn thecharacteristics of their composition成份.In the study of the composition of Chinesecharacters, there is a traditional theory known as four writings. That is,there are four types of characters in the terms of their composition: Pictographsor pictographic writing, indicatives, ideographs, phoneticcompounds, Strictly speaking, the four refer to the ways of composingChinese characters, Nevertheless the four writings’ theory is basically correctin revealing the general pattern in the creation and development of Chinesecharacters. It may help learners better understand the composition of Chinesecharacters and their original meanings, and hence use them more accurately. 1.Pictographspictographic writing (日、月、山、水、人等) A pictograph is a depiction of a material object.Chinese characters mostly originated from picture writing. In other words, mostChinese characters were originally pictures of objects. However, there is afundamental difference between pictographs and pictures: the former, usuallyrough sketches of objects(e. g. ら "sun" , る"moon" , "mountain" , 猠 "river" , "man" , "big" ) or consisting of a characteristic part only(e.g. "ox", ο "sheep" ), are much simpler thanthe latter. More important is that pictographs are associated with definitemeanings and pronunciations, and have become symbolic, and as a result ofincreasing simplification and abstraction, pictographs of the later ages arequite deferent from their originals. Compared with those in the Oracle-BoneInscriptions, pictographs in the Regular Script are no longer picture like. Ina sense they are not really pictographic, but simply symbolic. Pictographs are based on the external form of materialobjects, but the abstract concepts in language are formless, which renders itimpossible to depict them. This impossibility inevitably hinders the growth ofpictographs, and that is why their number is limited. However, pictographyremains the most important method of composing Chinese characters. The othersare only developments on this method and variations. 2. Indicatives or Indicative Character（一、二、三、上、下） Indicatives refer to the way of forming abstractcharacters with indicating signs. There are two subtypes of indicatives: one iscomposed of a pictograph and an indicating sign, e.g. (knife-edge) , セ(root) , ソ(treetop) ; the other is composed purely of abstractsign, e.g. (on the top) , (underneath) , (one), (two) and(three). Indicatives account for the smallest percentage ofChinese characters. The reason is that for most characters there are simplerways of composition: characters referring to material objects may be composedpictographically and those expressing abstract concepts may be composedideographically or by way of phonic-compounding. 3. Ideographsor Associative Character (森、从) Ideographs are compounds, composed of two or moreexisting characters. In terms of structure, an ideograph is a composition oftwo or more characters side by side or one on top of another. In terms ofmeaning, an ideograph is also a composition of the meanings of its componentcharacters. For example, the single character れ stands for a tree, two trees together 狶 refers to a group of trees-grove, and the character made up ofthree trees 此 means a place full of trees, a forest.And the character ヰ consists of (man) and れ(tree) , signifies that man istaking a rest against a tree. 4. Phonetic-semanticcompounds or morpheme-phonetic character () A phonetic compound consists of a semantic radical and aphonetic radical. The semantic radical indicates its semantic field and thephonetic radical its pronunciation. For example, phonetic-semantic compoundswith れ(tree) as theradical like 猀(pine), 琭(cypress), (peach) are all names of trees; those with も(hand) as the radical like 崩(push), ┰(pull),矗(lift), (press) all refer toactions performed by the hand. However the semantic radical only shows thegeneral semantic class of the character, not its specific meaning. The specificmeanings of the characters sharing the same
adical-are differentiated by thephonetics they each have. The phonetics in some phonetic-semantie compounds mayalso be semantic, e. g. the deography. But this is easilyachieved in phonetic-semantic compounds by adding different phonetics to theradical ous number of phonetic compounds inChinese, and this number is growing larger and larger n of Chinese Character and 90% in Kangxi onary themodern simplified form currently in use, phonetic compounds make up an evenlarger percent IL.

radical-are differentiated by thephonetics they each have. The phonetics in some phonetic-semantic compounds mayalso be semantic, e. g. the phonetic in 谤 is also meaningful in the sense of "take". There are many objects and abstract, ideas which are difficultto express through-pictography or ideography. For example, 尘 the general term for birds, but thereare thousands of types of birds in the world, and it is impossible todifferentiate each of them by way of pictography or ideography. But this is easilyachieved in phonetic-semantic compounds by adding different phonetics to theradical 尘 , e.g. 翭 (pigeon), 舃 (crane), 蔓 (chicken) and 肹(swan). Thus there is an enormous number of phonetic compounds inChinese, and this number is growing larger and larger in the modern period.Statistics show that phonetic-semantic compounds accounted for 80% of the totalcharacters in the Origin of Chinese Characters (Shui Wen Jie Zi) of the HanDynasty, 88% in Aspects of the Six Categories of Chinese Characters (Liu Shu Lue)of the Song Dynasty, and 90% in Kangxi Dictionary of the Qing Dynasty.

The denotative meanings of “Rose” vs “玫瑰”are identical. So let’s justfocus our attention on the partly similar associative meaningsand the partly different associative meanings ofthem. ① The partly similarassociative meanings of “rose” vs “ 玫 瑰 ”are “sweet” “love” “romance” and “affection” which are based onbeauty and sweet-smelling of the flower. Example 1,“A Red, Red, Rose (Robert Burns) O my luve is like a red red rose…” This is avery moving love poem in which the author compares his idol to “A Red, Red,Rose” and sings the praises of his ideal lover. Example 2, “在我心中的深处，开着一朵玫瑰，我用生命的清泉，把它灌溉栽培。”It is a song in the Chinese film “Trace of Tears”. Here “玫瑰”is also compared to affection.The heroine wants to water the rose, her affection to her husband by using thespring of her life. Hence rose is also the symbol of love in Chinese. ②The partly different associativemeanings of “rose” vs “玫瑰” (A)In English “rose is used to symbolizesomething “secret” or “silent”. Therefore the idiom “under the rose” means “keepsecret and never betray”. (B)“A thorny rose ” is associated with “imperfectness” in English, while “带刺的玫瑰” is associated with “a girl who is difficult to please” in Chinese.For example, when English people say, “There is no rose without a thorn”, theymean, “Nothing is perfect.” In Chinese we often hear people say, “这个姑娘真漂亮，小心!这可是个带刺的玫 瑰”. Here “带刺的玫瑰” means thatbeautiful young woman is not accessible and it is difficult to get heraffection. 汉英两种语言中的动植物名词大体相似，但是有些动植物名词早特定的文化语境下，却有着其特殊的引申含意。例如，“狗”在汉语中的地位比较低下，因此也常用来 形容一些生活贫困，地位卑贱的人。在英语中狗虽然有时也成为人们贬低的对象，但更多的时候是人类的朋友，家庭中的一员，因为它忠诚、可靠，在希腊神话中它是来世 的守门者（a guardian at the portals of the afterlife） 汉语中“龙”是一种神通广大，主宰天地的吉祥物。在英语中，虽然也有关于龙的神话，不过“龙”却是凶残的怪物。《圣经》中把与上帝作对的恶魔称作“the great dragon”。 随着中西文化的交流，中国的含意也逐渐为西方所接受，中国的“端午节”被译成“the dragon’s day”，这样的译法并不会引起西方读者的反感，因为他们早已把中国看 成是东方的“巨龙”。 Chinese people have given a new meaning to “pine”, “winter sweet”（腊梅）, “sun” “moon”, “rosy dawn”（朝霞）, etc.. Their metaphorical meaning will arouse more colorfulassociative images in the Chinese people than in the westerners. 此外，汉语中的松、竹、梅，是文人墨客常常吟诵的对象。松柏并称，象征刚直不阿和健康长寿。竹是一种高贵气节的象征，反映人们的“傲骨亮节”。梅花在严寒中 开放，傲然挺立，也成为高风亮节的象征。在英语中，松树作为一种常青树木，也象征着永生，被称做生命之树。在圣诞节，人们用松树做圣诞树来作为赎罪的象征。在英 语中，plum指梅树或李树。梅在基督教中代表忠诚。在英语俚语中，plum有奖品和奖赏的含义。随着文化的交流，英语中的植物寓意在汉语中也为人们使用。例如，“橄榄 枝”——和平的象征，“红玫瑰”——爱情的象征等。 汉语中的橄榄没寓意，而在英语中“橄榄枝”、“橄榄叶”却象征和平与富饶。英语中的“棕榈叶”象征胜利，某些军功勋章上也有棕榈叶的荣誉标志。而在汉语中， 这种寓意不存在。 （3）Comparativestudy in English and Chinese idioms 习语对比 词语中最具有引申意义的莫过于语言中的习语。习语包括成语、歇后语等。它们之间的转换可通过直译、意译、直译加意译等方式进行。汉英习语的差异主要体现在：喻体 的不同、风俗的不同和文化背景上的不同。①喻体不同，例如：健壮如牛 as strong as ahorse 害群之马a blacksheep ② 风俗不同，例如：狗嘴里长不 出象牙。A filthy mouth can’t utterdecent language. ③ 文化背景不同，例如：守口如瓶 as dumb as anoyster Assignments:

Translate theChinese passage “一件小事”（鲁迅）intoEnglish. 一件小事（鲁迅） 我从乡下跑到京城里，一转眼已经六年了。其间耳闻目睹的所谓国家大事，算起来也很不少；但在我心里，都不留什么痕迹，倘要我寻出这些事的影响来说，便只是增 长了我的坏脾气，——老实说，便是教我一天比一天的看不起人。 但有一件小事，却于我有意义，将我从坏脾气里拖开，使我至今忘记不得。 这是民国六年的冬天，大北风刮得正猛，我因为生计关系，不得不一早在路上走。一路几乎遇不见人，好容易才雇定了一辆人力车，教他拉到S门去。不一会，北风小了，路 上浮尘早已刮净，剩下一条洁白的大道来，车夫也跑得更快。刚近S门，忽而车把上带着一个人，慢慢地倒了。 跌倒的是一个女人，花白头发，衣服都很破烂。伊从马路上突然向车前横截过来；车夫已经让开道，但伊的破棉背心没有上扣，微风吹着，向外展开，所以终于兜着车把。 幸而车夫早有点停步，否则伊定要栽一个大斤斗，跌到头破血出了。 伊伏在地上；车夫便也立住脚。我料定这老女人并没有伤，又没有别人看见，便很怪他多事，要自己惹出是非，也误了我的路。 我便对他说，“没有什么的。走你的罢！” 车夫毫不理会，——或者并没有听到，——却放下车子，扶那老女人慢慢起来，搀着臂膊立定，问伊说： “你怎么啦？” “我摔坏了。” 我想，我眼见你慢慢倒地，怎么会摔坏呢，装腔作势罢了，这真可憎恶。车夫多事，也正是自讨苦吃，现在你自己想法去。 车夫听了这老女人的话，却毫不踌躇，仍然搀着伊的臂膊，便一步一步的向前走。我有些诧异，忙看前面，是一所巡警分驻所，大风之后，外面也不见人。这车夫扶着那老 女人，便正是向那大门走去。 我这时突然感到一种异样的感觉，觉得他满身灰尘的后影，刹时高大了，而且愈走愈大，须仰视才见。而且他对于我，渐渐的又几乎变成一种威压，甚而至于要榨出皮袍下 面藏着的“小”来。 我的活力这时大约有些凝滞了，坐着没有动，也没有想，直到看见分驻所里走出一个巡警，才下了车。 巡警走近我说，“你自己雇车罢，他不能拉你了。” 我没有思索的从外套袋里抓出一大把铜元，交给巡警，说，“请你给他……” 风全住了，路上还很静。我走着，一面想，几乎怕敢想到自己。以前的事姑且搁起，这一大把铜元又是什么意思？奖他么？我还能裁判车夫么？我不能回答自己。 这事到了现在，还是时时记起。我因此也时时煞了苦痛，努力的要想到我自己。几年来的文治武力，在我早如幼小时候所读过的“子曰诗云"一般，背不上半句了。独有这一件 小事，却总是浮在我眼前，有时反更分明，教我惭愧，催我自新，并且增长我的勇气和希望。 A SMALL INCIDENT (From the "Call to Arms" collection translated by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang) Six years have slipped by since I came from the country tothe capital. During that time the number of so-called affairs of state I havewitnessed or heard about is far from small, but none of them made muchimpression. If asked to define their influence on me, I can only say they mademy bad temper worse. Frankly speaking, they taught me to take a poorer view ofpeople every day. One small incident, however, which struck me as significantand jolted me out of my irritability, remains fixed even now in my memory. It was the winter of 1917, a strong north wind wasblustering, but the exigencies of earning my living forced me to be up and outearly. I met scarcely a soul on the road, but eventually managed to hire arickshaw to take me to S-Gate. Presently the wind dropped a little, havingblown away the drifts of dust on the road to leave a clean broad highway, andthe rickshaw man quickened his pace. We were just approaching S-Gate when weknocked into someone who slowly toppled over. It was a grey-haired woman in ragged clothes. She hadstepped out abruptly from the roadside in front of us, and although therick-shaw man had swerved, her tattered padded waistcoat, unbuttoned andbillowing in the wind, had caught on the shaft. Luckily the rickshaw man hadslowed down, otherwise she would certainly have had a bad fall and it mighthave been a serious accident. She huddled there on the ground, and the rickshaw manstopped. As I did not believe the old woman was hurt and as no one else hadseen us, I thought this halt of his uncalled for, liable to land him troubleand hold me up. "It's all right," I said. "Go on." He paid no attention - he may not have heard - but set downthe shafts, took the old woman's arm and gently helped her up. "Are you all right?" he asked. "I hurt myself falling." I thought: I saw how slowly you fell, how could you be hurt? Putting on an act like this is simply disgusting. Therickshaw man asked for trouble, and now he's got it. He'll have to find his ownway out. But the rickshaw man did not hesitate for a minuteafter hearing the old woman's answer. Still holding her arm, he helped herslowly forward. Rather puzzled by his I looked ahead and saw a police-station.Because of the high wind, there was no one outside. It was there that therickshaw man was taking the old woman. Suddenly I had the strange sensation that his dustyretreating figure had in that instant grown larger. Indeed, the further hewalked the larger he loomed, until I had to look up to him. At the same time heseemed gradually to be exerting a pressure on me which threatened to overpowerthe small self hidden under my fur-lined gown. Almost paralysed at that juncture I sat there motionless, mymind a blank, until a policeman came out. Then I got down from the rickshaw. The policeman came up to me and said, "Get anotherrickshaw. He can't take you any further." On the spur of the moment I pulled a handful of coppers frommy coat pocket and handed them to the policeman. "Please give himthis," I said. The wind had dropped completely, but the road was stillquiet. As I walked along thinking, I hardly dared to think aboutmyself. Quite apart from what had happened earlier, what had I meantby that handful of coppers? Was it a reward? Who was I to judge the rickshawman? I could give myself no answer. Even now, this incident keeps coming back to me. It keepsdistressing me and makes me try to think about myself. The politics and thefighting of those years have slipped my mind as completely as the classics Iread as a child. Yet this small incident keeps coming back to me, often morevivid than in actual life, teaching me shame, spurring me on to reform, andimbuing me with fresh courage and fresh hope. 译者：杨宪益和他夫人戴乃迭简介 9月17日，中国翻译协会在京举行仪式，授予我国著名文学翻译家、外国文学研究专家杨宪益先生翻译文化终身成就奖。中国外文局常务副局长、中国翻译协会常务副会长 郭晓勇，中国外文局副局长、中国翻译协会副会长黄友义为杨宪益先生颁发了荣誉证书。 郭晓勇在颁奖仪式上表示，杨宪益先生学贯中西，为中外文化交流尤其是中国文化走向世界作出了卓贡献。他翻译的中国文学作品，从先秦文学到现当代文学，跨度之 大、数量之多、质量之高、影响之深，中国翻译界无人企及。特别是他与夫人戴乃迭联袂翻译的英译本《红楼梦》，已成为最受中外学者和读者认可和推崇的经典译作。 在颁奖仪式上，杨宪益先生谦逊地表示，自己有兴趣做了些文学翻译，但成就很少，甚至可以说没有什么成就。他认为，中国的东西对外介绍得还远远不够。他还寄语 青年翻译工作者对自己的文化要多了解一点，多看一些书。 杨宪益先生译著等身，他与夫人戴乃迭合作，把《楚辞》、《离骚》、《史记选》、《青春之歌》、《鲁迅选集》等大量中国古今文学名著译成英文，同时把阿里斯托芬、 荷马、萧伯纳等欧洲古今文学家的名著译成中文。此外，他还撰有《译余偶拾》、《零墨新笺》等学术著作多种。 翻译文化终身成就奖由中国翻译协会于2006年设立，是表彰翻译家个人的最高荣誉奖项。到目前为止，杨宪益先生是获得该奖项的第二位翻译家。2006年9月26日，季羡林 先生成为首位翻译文化终身成就奖获得者。 延安大学外国语学院教师教案（首页） 主讲教师 李艳 职称 教授 课程性质 翻译理论与实践（汉译英）课程是英语教育专业学生的一门专业 技能必修课，开设在第六学期，为学位课程。 教学目的 使学生懂得对词语的理解和表达式篇章翻译的基础，正确理解并 妥帖表达词语的意义是学习汉译英的基础。 授课内容 第五章词语的翻译
