Практическое пособие для студентов III-IV курсов.

Данное пособие предназначено для отработки навыков письменного перевода и перевода с листа (ПСЛ) с английского на русский язык. Несмотря на кажущуюся легкость ПСЛ по сравнению с устным переводом на слух, на практике такой перевод часто вызывает наибольшие трудности, что в основном объясняется недостаточным знанием учащимися родного языка, неумением адекватно выразить свои мысли, а также сильным влиянием английского текста, что приводит к калькированию, буквализму, нарушению норм русского языка.

Материалы пособия можно использовать для перевода на слух и отработке навыков с применением лексико-грамматических трансформаций.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ

Данное пособие является практическим пополнением серии "Мир перевода" по углублению практических навыков перевода с листа (ПСЛ)на русский язык. Парадоксально, что, несмотря на кажущуюся сравнительную легкость ПСЛ по сравнению с переводом на слух, на практике он часто вызывает наибольшие трудности. Это в основном объясняется недостаточным знанием учащимися родного языка, неумением адекватно выразить свои мысли, а также сильным влиянием английского текста в процессе ПСЛ, что приводит к калькированию, буквализму, нарушению норм русского языка.

Материалы пособия можно использовать, в зависимости от уровня учащихся, для письменного перевода или перевода на слух с применением лексико-грамматических трансформаций.

Примеры в пособии взяты из прессы 1960—1990 годов, а также художественной литературы XX века и дают представление о развитии языка и изменениях значений некоторых слов.

Переводческие трудности выделены полужирным шрифтом.В некоторых разделах даются варианты перевода, не претендующие на совершенство, но указывающие на возможные переводческие решения проблем.

Рекомендуется обратить внимание на передачу сложной модальности, особенно в случаях may have been, could have done, might as well have said и др., которые часто вызывают затруднение при переводе (см. разделы: Модальность, Would, Модальные глаголы).

Пособие состоит из двух частей: LEVELA (Introductory) — начальный уровень — основные виды трансформаций при переводе, LEVEL В(Advanced) — более сложные случаи переводческих трансформаций и распознавания "ловушек" в процессе как письменного, так и устного перевода с листа.

В Приложениирассматривается концепция модульного способа обучению устному переводу (Modules of Employable Skills), ориентированного на практическую деятельность и индивидуальный подход к обучению.

Пример строения учебного элемента по переводу фразеологических единиц (ФЕ)

I. Цели обучения

Цели

Изучив данный учебный элемент, вы сможете:

1. Распознавать фразеологизм в тексте

Ресурсы и средства обучения

2. Набор примерных текстов

Необходимая подготовка

Учебные элементы

1. Описательный перевод

2. Калькирование как переводческий метод

3. Лекционный курс лексикологии

II. Содержание

Фразеологизмы — это связные, устойчивые словосочетания, иногда даже целые предложения, которые, как правило, обладают либо полностью, либо частично переносным значением.

Основная особенность — несоответствие плана содержания плану выражения, что определяет его специфику, придает гибкость и глубину значению.

Фразеологизм — замкнутый микроконтекст, в котором реализуются не только формальные связи между планом выражения и планом содержания такого знака, но и ассоциативно-семантические, причем не обязательно логически выводимые из самого микроконтекста.

Умение распознавать в тексте.

Умение анализировать речевые функции фразеологизмов.

Национально-культурные различия.

Стратегия перевода:

1. Поиск идентичной фразеологической единицы в языке перевода — оптимальное решение. Число таких соответствий весьма ограничено.

2. Поиск аналогичной фразеологической единицы, имеющей общее с исходным значением, но построенной на иной словесно-образной основе. Нередко сходные по значению, но разные по форме ФЕ в раз ных языках имеют различную эмоционально-ассоциативную окраску и не всегда взаимозаменяемы.

3. Калькирование, или пословный перевод. Применяется чаще всего по отношению к третьим источникам, например, так нередко перево дятся ФЕ, ведущие происхождение из античной культуры, религиоз но-библейских или иных широко известных источников.

4. Двойной, параллельный перевод ФЕ, когда в одной фразе сочетают ся ФЕ (переведенная, например, посредством калькирования) и объяс нение ее переносного значения в возможно более кратком виде.
