1 汉英对比 中西思维差异 英汉词汇现象的对比 英汉句法现象的对比

2 汉英思维方式对比 一、 (1)中国人注重伦理（ethics），英美人注重认知（cognition）
(2)中国人重整体（integrity）、偏重综合性（synthetic）思维，英美人重个体（individuality）、偏重分析性（analytic）思维 (3)中国人重直觉（intuition），英美人重实证（evidence） (4)中国人重形象思维（figurative thinking），英美人重逻辑思维（logical thinking）（陈宏薇、李亚丹：2004：25－32）

3 二、 英语: 先概括后分解、先表态后叙事、先总结后事例、先整体后细节，由果到因、由小到大等。 汉语:按时间顺序和逻辑发展关系由先到后、由因到果、由假设到推论、由事实到论证，习惯于问题解决型模式(Problem-solution Pattern) 。

4 例如： It was keen disappointment that I had to cancel the visit I had intended to pay to Hong Kong On July 1St. 我原先打算七月一日去香港旅游，后来不得不取消，这使我很扫兴。 英语先概括，语义重心在前面 然后分解开来

5 I strongly believe that it’s in the interests Of my countrymen that China should remain an active and energetic power in global economic matters. 在全球经济事务中，中国应继续保持一个积极而充满活力的力量，我坚信这是符合我国利益的。

6 英汉词汇现象的对比---词义 英汉词语完全对应（word for word correspondence）
Aspirin； Marxism； Capitalism； modernism. 英汉词语部分对应 (one word with multiple equivalents of the same meaning ) Wife: 妻子、爱人、老伴、内人、贱内、夫人、老婆； president: 总统、主席、校长、议长、会长、社长； Morning: 早晨、上午

7 部分对应造成翻译时的选择，如： Late in the morning 接近晌午 Early in the morning 一大早 而mid-morning 等最好用时间表示： Mid morning 上午十点左右 Mid-afternoon 下午三、四点 In the middle of next week: 下周三前后

8 英汉词语不对应 (words without correspondence ):
Teenager: 13至19岁的青少年 Clock-watcher: 老是看钟等下班的人 Prey: 被捕食的动物 Dink=double income no kids 丁克家族

9 英汉词汇现象的对比---词序 一、主语的确立 二、谓语的确立 三、状语的位置

10 主语的确立 英语主语的严格性，只能由名词、代词，或具有名词语法功能的语言单位（如动词不定式、动名词、主语从句）来充当。
试找出下列句子英译的恰当主语，并进行翻译。

11 直接用原文的主语 如果不适当地处理，锅炉及机动车辆排出的废气就会造成城市空气污染。 Exhaust from boilers and vehicles, unless properly treated, causes air pollution in cities. 替换主语以符合英语表达 1.鲁迅的骨头是最硬的，他没有丝毫的奴颜和媚骨，这是殖民地半殖民地人民最可宝贵的性格。 Lu Hsun was a man of unyielding integrity, free from all sycophancy－拍马屁，奉承 or obsequiousness-谄媚; this quality is invaluable among colonial and semi-colonial people.

12 找出译文中合适的主语 2) 胎又瘪了。 We’ve got another flat tire. 1）世纪之交，中国外交空前活跃。
The turn of the century finds China most active on the diplomatic arena. At the turn of the century, China is most active in its diplomatic activities.

13 2）北京地区由于近些年加强了植树造林，在一些地方飞来了稀有的鸟类。
The expansion of woods in some places around Beijing these years attracts quite a few rare birds. Quite a few rare birds come to settle down in some places around Beijing thanks to the expansion of woods there these years.

14 无主句－增补主语 到了济南府，进得城来，家家泉水，户户垂杨，比那江南风景，觉得更具为有趣。 When he reached Jinan and entered the city, there were flowing streams by every house and willow trees by every door, which delighted him even more than the scenery of the south.

15 谓语的确立 英语谓语只能由动词（系动词或实义动词）或动词短语担当。如： 1）北京很好玩。
Beijing is a great city to have fun. 2）北京外来人口逐年增多。 The number of people from other places in Beijing increases year by year.

16 注意谓语动词的选择的准确性 如： 1）中央政府不干预香港特别行政区的事务。 The central government has never intervened in the affairs of the HKSAR. 2）中国经济将融入世界经济的大潮。 The economy of China will converge with that of the world. (merge into>意为消没在。。。之中，不恰当) 3）新的景点不断出现，观光人数不断增加，地区经济也有了很大发展。 The emergence of one new scenic spot after another and the influx of more and more tourists have also boosted the economy.
