Translation Theory and Practice
Translation is not mere word substitution — it is an act of cultural mediation. At C2, you should understand both the theory and the craft.
The three tensions in translation:
- 信 (faithfulness) vs. reader accessibility
- 归化 (domestication) vs. 异化 (foreignization): Do you bring the text to the reader, or the reader to the text?
- Formal equivalence vs. dynamic equivalence: Does the structure matter, or only the effect?
Translating Chinese-specific elements:
- 四字格 idioms: often untranslatable word-for-word; find a functional equivalent or explain
- Cultural references (龙 = dragon but with different connotations): foreignize or add context
- Tonal ambiguity in poetry: recreate the spirit, not the sound
Yan Fu's 信达雅 (1898):
- 信: faithful to the original meaning
- 达: fluent and comprehensible in the target language
- 雅: elegant, refined in expression
Self-evaluation questions when translating:
- Would a native speaker of the target language find this natural?
- Have I preserved the register and tone of the original?
- What have I inevitably lost, and was that loss worth the gain?
表达
- 翻译是两种语言之间的文化摆渡Metaphorical description of translation as cultural mediation; 摆渡 (ferry/ferryboat) is an evocative image.
- 信达雅三者兼顾，方为上乘译作Applying Yan Fu principles as an evaluative standard.
- 归化策略使读者感到亲切，异化策略则让读者感受到异域风情Contrasting two core translation strategies with their effects.
- 翻译是一种创作，译者是隐形的作者Elevating the status of the translator; useful for discussing translation ethics and authorship.
