英汉新阐翻译初探

论文摘要

本文的主要论述了英汉新闻翻译的问题。新闻翻译在传递信息上扮演重要角色,在对新闻进行翻译时,编译是不可缺少的手段。编译作为一种翻译现象得到越来越广泛的研究。本文试图证明编译在新闻翻译中的必要性,并提出可行的编译方法。笔者只选取英汉新闻翻译作为研究对象。整个写作过程中,本文借鉴、吸收中外学者已有的研究成果,针对国际新闻英汉编译做出了独立的分析和总结,体现出文章自身的特色。在材料方面,文中所有用于分析的实例都来自作者花大量时间收集整理的第一手材料:包括美联社和路透社英文原稿及对应中文新闻稿。本文以功能理论为基础,采用案例分析的方式,分析了多份新闻和新闻翻译的文本,确立了新闻翻译的特殊性;通过对译文和原文的比较分析,证明编译在新闻翻译中的必要性,并试着提出了五种主要的编译操作方法。
