CCTV2今天播了很多猪流感消息。半个小时前,该台罗列猪流感病毒的传播途径时提到“物理接触”,当时我就在想肯定是从physical contact翻译过来的。过了半个小时,有记者用英文做采访,说到physical contact,打出来的字幕是“身体接触”。这节目做得不严谨,前后相隔半个小时,同一个词两个译法。

《Unchained Melody》 May 11, 2009

電影《人鬼情未了》中的主題曲《Unchained Melody》被一直譯為《奔放的旋律》。從沒有做翻譯時就知道這名兒。後來想來總覺不太對勁。"旋律"雖然是"Unchained"(不受約束),但根據劇情,怎麼也不能譯為《奔放的旋律》!

其實妥當的翻譯很簡單:Melody傳就是的情――Love,Unchained就是‘中斷未續’。翻譯電影的那位可是行家啊!這歌名兒就擺在那兒了:《Unchained Melody》直譯為"未續的愛情"—正確答案:《人鬼情未了》。

沒看明白這段話。能具體解釋一下嗎﹖

您值得擁有 May 13, 2009

本來很響亮的一句廣告詞﹐被翻譯成了這樣﹐而且已被廣泛採納和接受。

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=您值得擁有&btnG=Google%20Search&aq=f&oq=

大家猜猜它的英文原文是什麼。其實不用猜﹐一看就知道。

跟我合作的翻譯就經常這樣翻﹐每次看到他們這樣翻我就來氣﹐還朝一個翻譯吼過一次。今天GOOGLE了一下﹐才發現這不賴他們﹐因為人人都這樣翻譯。

真感覺錯怪了他們。心裡頭默默地向他們道歉﹐尤其想對我朝其吼過得那個人說﹕“你不是單獨的﹗”

I do or don’t May 14, 2009

一部中国电视剧有段在教堂举行婚礼的情节。牧师先问新郎:“你愿意娶她作为你的妻子吗?无论是...,还是 ...”。新郎答:“我愿意。” 然后牧师又问新娘:“你愿意嫁给他作为你的丈夫吗?…” 不知那新娘此时该说 “I do” 还是 “I don’t”。:D

不知“你愿意嫁给他作为你的丈夫吗”的 back translation 是什么?

到底新娘是“作为他的妻子”还是“作为你的丈夫” May 26, 2009

上面提到的那部中国电视剧名叫“完美结局”。由于觉得情节太假,所以我只看了几集。 当时听到牧师问新娘的那句话,我顿时就感到不合逻辑。我觉得应该这样问才合乎逻辑:“你愿意嫁给他作为他的妻子吗?”

“你愿意娶她作为你的妻子吗?” 其英文原文大致是 "Do you (bridegroom) take her to be your wife?” 译成中文应该很简单。但另一句就难办了:"Do you (bride) take him

“你愿意娶她作为你的妻子吗?” 其英文原文大致是 "Do you (bridegroom) take her to be your wife?” 译成中文应该很简单。但另一句就难办了:"Do you (bride) take him to be your husband?” 按照中国国情,这句话不可能译成“你愿意娶他作为你的丈夫吗?” 这个 “take” 不能译成”娶”。但如果译成”嫁”,那么后面就必须相应地作些改动,只能译成 “你愿意嫁给他作为他的妻子吗?”。所以,“你愿意嫁给他作为你的丈夫吗?”是一种“英国式中文”。 现在有很多中国人喜欢仿照西方的婚礼模式,但如果学得不像,就会闹出笑话。类似的“英国式中文”还是常可看到的。

http://www.dgreetings.com/wedding/traditional-wedding-vows.html

The couple can exchange vows in two different ways. The minister or the priest can pose the vows as a question: "Do you (name) take (partner's name) for your lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do you part?" to which the couple can answer “I do”. The couple can also take the vows for themselves: "I (name) take you (partner's name) for my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." These words can be modified or embellished so that they suit the special preferences of each and every couple. Irrespective of the variation in words, the essence of marital commitment expressed by the traditional wedding vows remains the same.

Yueyin,

何止婚礼哟. 我想一天到晚听 "您值得拥有 ..." 这样的广告也让人够受的.

"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband ..."

你说得很对. 我看要洋就一洋洋到底了, 不必再分什么"嫁娶"了.

不看电视的好处就是不会为此郁闷,hiahia

但是我没看懂。您值得拥有,中文还说得过去啊!
是译自“You deserve it"吗?

这个词逻辑和语法都不通,但现在似乎约定俗成都这样翻译,不这样翻译反倒会让读者感觉不对。

多数人认可的词汇未必就是好的词汇。“真理掌握在多数人手中”这句话在翻译行业常常不适用。
