審美忠實(shí)：不可叛逆的文學(xué)翻譯之重與基礎(chǔ)語法之巧|譯境解析的英語奧秘|學(xué)習(xí)英語技巧|上海譯境公司

梁實(shí)秋本打算用20年譯完《莎士比亞全集》，而實(shí)際上用了30年。譯后朋友們?yōu)樗e行“慶功會(huì)”，他在會(huì)上發(fā)表演講：要譯《莎士比亞全集》，必須具備三個(gè)條件。一是必須不是學(xué)者，若是學(xué)者就搞研究去了；二是必須不是天才，若是天才就搞創(chuàng)作去了；三是必須活得相當(dāng)久。“很僥幸，這三個(gè)條件我都具備。”作為我，當(dāng)然不能同梁實(shí)秋相比，但他說的這三個(gè)條件，我想我也大體具備。我不是像樣的學(xué)者，更不是天才。即使同作為本職工作的教書匠相比，最為人知曉的也仍是翻譯匠。所以今天也只能作為翻譯匠來幾句老生常談。

諸位知道，翻譯這東西本來就是相當(dāng)不好說的東西，而作為譯者說自己的翻譯就更不好說。往好里說吧，人家會(huì)說你老王頭賣瓜自賣自夸，不懂謙虛是美德；往糟里說吧，自己又不甘心，也未必公平?？傊笥覟殡y。但如果不說自己，泛泛而論，其實(shí)又十分好說。比如董橋。最近偶然翻閱他的一本名叫《鄉(xiāng)愁的理念》的小書，里面談到翻譯，談得極俏皮：“下等譯匠是‘人在屋檐下，不得不低頭’，給原文壓得扁扁的，只好忍氣吞聲；高等譯手是‘月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏后’，跟原文平起平坐，談情說愛，毫無顧忌。”還有一段說得頗有情色之嫌，我都不好意思引用，他是這么說的：“好的翻譯，是男歡女愛，如魚得水，一拍即合。讀起來像中文，像人話，順極了。壞的翻譯，是同床異夢(mèng)，人家無動(dòng)于衷，自己欲罷不能，最后只好‘進(jìn)行強(qiáng)奸’……讀起來像鬼話，既褻瀆了外文也褻瀆了中文。”文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期西方意大利也有異曲同工的說法：“翻譯如女人，漂亮的不貞潔，貞潔的不漂亮。”言外之意，理想的翻譯就是要既貞潔又漂亮。以上面董橋的話說，就是要跟原文談情說愛平起平坐，進(jìn)而男歡女愛如魚得水。如果換成錢鍾書，只一個(gè)字：化！他說：“文學(xué)翻譯的最高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是‘化’。”古今中外，關(guān)于翻譯的言說不可謂不多，但相比之下，我還是最欣賞錢老先生這個(gè)“化”字。即使嚴(yán)復(fù)的“信達(dá)雅”三個(gè)字，也可用此“化”字化而為一。而翻譯的所有問題，依我愚見，也都出在這個(gè)“化”字上面。就是說沒有“化”好——或“忍氣吞聲”，或“同床異夢(mèng)”，或貞潔與漂亮兩相叛離，非此即彼。

與此同時(shí)，關(guān)于翻譯的所有爭(zhēng)論也都幾乎離不開這個(gè)“化”字。如貞潔與漂亮、意譯與直譯、神似與形似、歸化與異化、等值與超越、表層結(jié)構(gòu)與深層結(jié)構(gòu)、語體忠實(shí)與審美忠實(shí)等，不一而足。

“化”得最好的，英文漢譯我雖然不太熟悉，但至少王佐良先生譯的培根讀書名言算是其一：“讀書足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以長(zhǎng)才。其怡情也，最見于獨(dú)處幽居之時(shí)；其傅彩也，最見于高談闊論之中；其長(zhǎng)才也，最見于處世判事之際。”英漢之間，妙而化之，天衣無縫。漢譯法國文學(xué)，翻譯家羅新璋先生最服傅雷。他舉傅譯《約翰·克里斯朵夫》開頭一句為例：“Le grondement du fleuve monte derrière la maison”直譯為“大江的轟隆轟隆聲，從屋子后面升上來”，而傅雷譯成“江聲浩蕩，自屋后上升”，化人為己，水乳交融，斐然而成名譯。日本文學(xué)翻譯方面“化”得最好的，竊以為是豐子愷先生譯的《源氏物語》。鬼斧神工，出神入化，信手拈來，絕塵而去。讀之可知譯事之難，可嘆譯筆之工，可生敬畏之情。詞意或有不逮，理解或有偏差，但在整體審美傳達(dá)上迄今無人可比。不料日前看《書城》（2009年10月號(hào)余斌文《知堂“酷評(píng)”》），發(fā)現(xiàn)周作人對(duì)豐譯的評(píng)價(jià)極其尖刻，謂豐子愷譯文“喜用俗惡成語”、“只是很漂亮濫用成語，不顧與原文空氣相合與否……其實(shí)此譯根本不可用”，還說“豐氏源氏譯稿，是茶店說書，似尚不明白源氏是什么書也”。一句話，只漂亮不貞潔，“俗惡”！那么他本人譯得就既漂亮又貞潔了么？未必。貞潔或許貞潔，可惜貞潔得近乎“澀”，整體審美效果明顯在豐譯之下。說句不恭的話吧，周作人的夫人是日本人，按理，他搞翻譯應(yīng)該“如魚得水”才是，可他卻好像“給原文壓得扁扁的”，大氣不敢出。這固然同他創(chuàng)作中標(biāo)舉的“簡(jiǎn)單味”、“澀味”之文章境界有關(guān)，但同時(shí)也和他采取的異化這一翻譯策略有關(guān)，用當(dāng)下較為流行的說法，就是“去中國化”，即主要對(duì)日文原著負(fù)責(zé)。而他之所以酷評(píng)豐譯為“俗惡”，自是因?yàn)?/span>——在他看來——豐譯的“去日本化”。

上面所以說這許多，也是因?yàn)橥业姆g理念和翻譯策略有關(guān)。我的翻譯理念——如果說我有這勞什子的話——主要是對(duì)中國、中國讀者負(fù)責(zé)，即要首先確認(rèn)自己的翻譯能給中國讀者、中國文化以至中國社會(huì)帶來什么。借用周作人的兄長(zhǎng)魯迅的話，就是要看自己是像普羅米修斯那樣為中國竊得火種，還是別的什么。這樣，所采取的翻譯策略，勢(shì)必與周作人相反，即要盡可能消除“澀味”，也就是消除日譯漢特有的翻譯腔（“和臭”）。在這個(gè)意義上，說是“去日本化”也未嘗不可。換言之，就是想方設(shè)法琢磨找一個(gè)既貞潔又漂亮的“女人”。這也是天底下所有男人，尤其男翻譯家一生的夢(mèng)想。那么，之于我的既貞潔又漂亮的“女人”到底找到了沒有呢？我以為大體找到了，至少在貞潔與漂亮之間找到了一個(gè)接合點(diǎn)。我一再主張的“審美忠實(shí)”也就是這個(gè)意思。我以為，就文學(xué)翻譯而言，最重要的就是審美忠實(shí)。

說到這里，請(qǐng)容我說一下我的翻譯觀，即我所大體認(rèn)同的關(guān)于翻譯的言說或觀點(diǎn)，當(dāng)然也多少包括我個(gè)人的體悟。我傾向于認(rèn)為，文學(xué)翻譯必須是文學(xué)——翻譯文學(xué)。大凡文學(xué)都是藝術(shù)——語言藝術(shù)。大凡藝術(shù)都需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造性，因此文學(xué)翻譯也需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造性。但文學(xué)翻譯畢竟是翻譯而非原創(chuàng)，因此準(zhǔn)確說來，文學(xué)翻譯屬于再創(chuàng)造的藝術(shù)。以嚴(yán)復(fù)的“信達(dá)雅”言之：“信”，側(cè)重于內(nèi)容（內(nèi)容忠實(shí)）；“達(dá)”，側(cè)重于行文（行文忠實(shí)）；“雅”，側(cè)重于藝術(shù)境界（藝術(shù)忠實(shí)）。“信、達(dá)”需要知性判斷，“雅”則更需要審美判斷。審美判斷要求譯者具有藝術(shù)悟性、文學(xué)悟性。但不可否認(rèn)，事實(shí)上并非每個(gè)譯者都具有相應(yīng)的悟性。與此相關(guān)，翻譯或可大體分為三種：工匠型翻譯、學(xué)者型翻譯、才子型翻譯。工匠型亦步亦趨，貌似“忠實(shí)”；學(xué)者型中規(guī)中矩，刻意求工；才子型惟妙惟肖，意在傳神。學(xué)者型如朱光潛、季羨林，才子型如豐子愷、王道乾，二者兼具型如傅雷、梁實(shí)秋。至于工匠型翻譯，當(dāng)下比比皆是，不勝枚舉，也不敢舉。嚴(yán)格說來，那已不是文學(xué)翻譯，更不是翻譯文學(xué)。翻譯匠和翻譯家的區(qū)別在于，前者傳達(dá)語法、意思和故事，后者再現(xiàn)表情、感動(dòng)或?qū)徝烙鋹?。在這個(gè)意義上，我認(rèn)為文學(xué)翻譯最重要的就是審美忠實(shí)。就文學(xué)翻譯中形式（語言表象）層、風(fēng)格（文體）層和審美（品格）層這三個(gè)層面來說，最重要的就是審美層。即使“叛逆”，也要形式層的叛逆服從風(fēng)格層，風(fēng)格層的叛逆服從審美層，而審美層是不可叛逆的文學(xué)翻譯之重?！哆_(dá)·芬奇密碼》的譯者朱振武教授最近在《外國文藝》2011年第6期也發(fā)表文章，一再強(qiáng)調(diào)審美的重要：“文學(xué)翻譯是藝術(shù)化的翻譯，是譯者對(duì)原作思想內(nèi)容與藝術(shù)風(fēng)格的審美把握。……文學(xué)翻譯不是詞句的形式對(duì)應(yīng)，而是語言信息與美感信息的整體吸納與再造。”

不無遺憾的是，審美視角的闕如正是目前文學(xué)翻譯實(shí)踐、文學(xué)翻譯批評(píng)的盲點(diǎn)所在。竊以為，隨著國際交流的頻繁和懂外語人數(shù)的迅速增加，當(dāng)下外國文學(xué)作品翻譯的主要問題，較之準(zhǔn)確性，恐怕更在于文學(xué)審美的缺位，以致“讀起來味同嚼蠟，給讀者充分的機(jī)會(huì)去體驗(yàn)閱讀的艱辛，而不是享受閱讀的愉悅”（虞建華語，見《外國文藝》2010年第4期）。于是人們不禁要問，原作本身是否味同嚼蠟？如果不是，那么譯者標(biāo)榜的忠實(shí)或準(zhǔn)確性又體現(xiàn)在哪里呢？事情十分清楚，那才是致命的不忠實(shí)、不準(zhǔn)確，縱然語法、詞匯、句式等形式層面貼得很緊甚至無懈可擊。換言之，無論有多少理由，翻譯文學(xué)作品都不該譯丟審美、審美忠實(shí)。如果丟掉審美忠實(shí)，其他所有“忠實(shí)”都不過是“愚忠”（朱振武語）罷了。而“愚忠”，換個(gè)說法，無非是“只貞潔不漂亮”，那也是任何有美學(xué)追求的人所不喜歡的。

說完了觀點(diǎn)，再說下考研英語的技巧語法：

 1. That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have  and hence the number of gene copies transmitted.◎大寶考研版權(quán)所有，拒絕轉(zhuǎn)載◎Ub662NeiIs

譯文：那種性別比例能在最大程度上增加一個(gè)個(gè)體所能擁有的后代數(shù)量，并因此能在最大程度上增加所傳遞到后代身上去的基因復(fù)制品的數(shù)量。

難句類型：倒裝、省略

a本句的正常語序應(yīng)當(dāng)是：That sex ratio which maximizes the number of descendnts an individuall will ◎have and hence the number of gene copies transmited will be favored.但是因?yàn)橹髡ZThat sex ratio之后的以which引導(dǎo)的修飾它的定語從句，如果按照以上語序，則有頭重腳輕之感。所以原文將此長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的從句倒裝成謂語will be favored之后。

b在which引導(dǎo)的從句中，有兩處省略：第一處在maximize的第一個(gè)賓語the number of descendants that an individuall will have中， an individuall will have是修飾descendants的定語從句，但是，因?yàn)?/span>descendants在從句中作have的賓語，所以引導(dǎo)詞that可以省略。第二處省略是在第二個(gè)the number of 之前，省略了與前面一樣的成分that sex ratio which maximizes. And hence在此表示后面的成分作為前面“最大化一個(gè)個(gè)體的后代的數(shù)目的”結(jié)果。

（這是一種）照亮現(xiàn)實(shí)的欲望，此欲望從來就不會(huì)唐突的取代后面的那種欲望，后者是我們可以將其部分的理解為一個(gè)兼任小說加和科學(xué)家的人想要去準(zhǔn)確并具體的記錄下一朵花的結(jié)構(gòu)和文理的那種意義上的欲望。

解釋：本句子的難度在一切GRE、GMAT包括LSAT考試中所出現(xiàn)的難句中堪稱登峰造極，可以確定地講，類似此句子的難度的語言，在計(jì)算機(jī)考試的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)絕無可能出現(xiàn)。如果對(duì)此句話不感興趣，可以把其廢掉不讀。

A、 這句話讀起來別扭的第一個(gè)原因，是因?yàn)樗揪筒皇且粋€(gè)句子。句首省略了this is 。這種用一個(gè)詞代替一個(gè)句子的方式如果在書面語中出現(xiàn)，只能出現(xiàn)在高級(jí)英語中，因此我們以前的英語學(xué)習(xí)中從未遇到過。其形式類似于我們中文的“精彩”是“這句話真是精彩”的省略形式。

B、 desire后跟著兩個(gè)大的修飾成分，一個(gè)是to throw over reality a light，其中的a light 是被倒裝到了over reality之后，正常應(yīng)是throw a light over reality.不過這個(gè)便裝部分與throw距離不遠(yuǎn)，讀者看得還算懂。關(guān)鍵是第二個(gè)修飾成分。注意：從that開始直到句尾結(jié)束的長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的定語從句不是修飾其前的light的，而是修飾一開始的desire的。

C、 第二個(gè)修飾成分中又來了一個(gè)倒裝，由于作者為了強(qiáng)調(diào)never,所以將其提前，引發(fā)了定語從句中的倒裝：正常語序應(yīng)該是that might never be given away，倒裝后系動(dòng)詞was被提前，given因?yàn)樵谇閼B(tài)動(dòng)詞might之后所以變成了原型give。A give way to B，是A讓位于B，而A be given way to B，　則是A取代B。on the part of 之后的部

解釋：介詞from的賓語有兩個(gè)并列的部分，由and所連接，在and之后的第二個(gè)from前，省略了前面一樣的謂語動(dòng)詞derive。本句之所以難，有兩個(gè)原因，一是derived from 后面的成分太長(zhǎng)，初學(xué)者難以一下子看下來；二是作為一◎篇文科文章，用詞抽象，難以迅速理解。

解釋：本句逗號(hào)以前只有復(fù)雜修飾的長(zhǎng)主語有些難，但總的來講比較好懂，since引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句較難。 A、 since之后的it指前面的statement，highlight的賓語an aspect之后有兩個(gè)修飾成分，一個(gè)是of her literary interests，　另一個(gè)是以that引導(dǎo)的定語從句that is very different from the traditional picture of the poetic novelist，都是修飾an aspect的。Novelist后面又有由and 連接的兩個(gè)介詞結(jié)構(gòu)concerned with doing 修飾novelist.

B、 句中有兩處省略，一是在her literary interests that is very different from當(dāng)中，修飾interests的定語從句中引導(dǎo)詞＋be that is 一起省略了。第二處在and之后，由于concerned with與前面的concerned with重復(fù)，所以concerned被省略。

解釋：本句中修飾成分極多，以分詞修飾和介詞結(jié)構(gòu)修飾為主，作各種類型的狀語。前面的狀語和主句還好理解，從leaving開始句子變難；leaving引導(dǎo)的直到句末的結(jié)構(gòu)來做整個(gè)句子的狀語；分詞中又包含了三個(gè)狀語，其中的兩個(gè)via oxidative metabolism by the liver又起到了插入語的作用，把be converted into拆成兩段。本句的另外一個(gè)特征是其中充斥著專有名詞。其中的body fluids, oxidative和resynthesis通過字面的意思或者根據(jù)詞頭、詞根我們還是應(yīng)該猜出其意思的，lactic acid, metabolism和muscle這三個(gè)詞在生物類文章中極其常用，大家應(yīng)該背下來；而glycogen這種東西則沒辦法，只能作一個(gè)首字母提煉。但是請(qǐng)記住，GRE和GMAT文章中只要出現(xiàn)◎了這種專有名詞，出題者是一定會(huì)在文章中把它在文章中所乃至的詞義解釋清楚的，所以讀者遇到文章中做了解釋的專有名詞，應(yīng)該力求把解釋看懂。意群訓(xùn)練：With the conclusion of a burst activity , the lactic acid level is high in the body fluids, leaving the large animal vulnerable to attack until the acid is reconverted , via oxidative metabolism , by the liver into glucose , which is then sent (in part )back to the muscles for glycogen resynthesis .

解釋：前半個(gè)分句中有一個(gè)雙重否定，was never rigidly disproved,這種表示法用中文說出來還是比較好懂的，原因是我們熟悉中文的這種表示法，但在英文中出現(xiàn)，因?yàn)樵谝郧暗膶W(xué)習(xí)中見得少，所以感覺上很別扭。因此，同學(xué)們的任務(wù)，就是通過反復(fù)閱讀此類句子來熟悉這樣的英語。其實(shí)在英文表達(dá)中，很多雙重否定與中文表達(dá)是一樣的，表示肯定；如not unlimited就等于limited。但是值得讀者注意的是在GRE和GMAT這兩種對(duì)考生的邏輯有苛刻要求的考試中，如果這種雙重否定中所涉及的概念不是dichotomous(即二分法的詞匯，比如上面例子中的limited和unlimited)，則雙重否定不一定表示肯定；比如本例中的not disprove, 不能理解為agree， 不反對(duì)者中，的確有人會(huì)同意，但通常心存疑慮，隨大流者居多。不但如此，大雙重否定中加上限定詞以后，在否定的范圍上也有所變化，如本句的be never rigidly disproved，沒有完全被反對(duì)，不能理解為從來都被嚴(yán)格支持的，而應(yīng)該理解成從來都可能有人支持的。綜上所述，對(duì)雙重否定的句子，簡(jiǎn)單的把其置換為肯定，不是最精確的理解。而最好的辦法，就是通過多讀、多練來熟悉其語言表達(dá)及其邏輯方式，按照其字面的表達(dá)理解成沒有完全否定，然后大腦中反應(yīng)出其目前的生存狀態(tài)是一個(gè)仍未消失的狀態(tài)；這種理解才是在考試現(xiàn)場(chǎng)既快速又精確的理解。 ◎運(yùn)用前面所說的用合理化原則中的取非讀法，可以很容易的讀出作者在后半個(gè)分句中想說前面的那種觀點(diǎn)被反對(duì)了。但是，初學(xué)者會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)分句中的something be abandoned in favor of something else這種語言表達(dá)感到突然，如果理解成因?yàn)橄埠笳叨鴴仐壛饲罢?，雖然也能說得通，但是其實(shí)原文從來沒有這種因果關(guān)系，in favor of強(qiáng)調(diào)的是這兩種動(dòng)作的同時(shí)性；拋棄了前者，而轉(zhuǎn)向后者，namely之后的內(nèi)容是前面的opposing view的同位語。 ◎大寶考研版權(quán)所有，拒絕轉(zhuǎn)載◎yghvCiYjF8

雖然小說無疑起源于政治情狀，但其作者則是以非意識(shí)形態(tài)的方式對(duì)這些政治情狀作出反應(yīng)的，而將小說和故事主要地當(dāng)作意識(shí)形態(tài)的工具來探討，會(huì)在相當(dāng)程度上阻礙小說事業(yè)。 ◎大寶考研版權(quán)所有，拒絕轉(zhuǎn)載◎yi7glNQthJ

解釋：本句從句子的結(jié)構(gòu)上來講，惟一的難度在于and之后的句子的主語talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments ofideology太長(zhǎng)，以至于看到謂語circumvent的時(shí)候已經(jīng)搞不清楚主謂了。更大的難度恐怕還在于對(duì)兩個(gè)詞匯的理解circumvent和enterprise。我們以前所背過的circumvent有兩個(gè)詞義，一個(gè)是規(guī)避，一是以計(jì)謀戰(zhàn)勝，但是這兩種意思放到此處都顯然不通；其實(shí)circumvent有一個(gè)我們沒有背過的最常用的意思是包圍、限制或陷害；至于enterprise常用的意思是企業(yè)，這里的指事業(yè)。 ◎大寶考研版權(quán)所有，拒絕轉(zhuǎn)載◎jrTmd7d7nw

不僅如此，有些黑人小說（比如JT的甘蔗）的風(fēng)格接近與表現(xiàn)主義和超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義；這種技巧是否為流行的主題提供了一個(gè)和諧的對(duì)應(yīng)呢？這種主題刻畫了黑人注意與之相抗?fàn)幍拿\(yùn)，這是一個(gè)通常用更為自然主義的表現(xiàn)手法所表達(dá)的主題。 ◎難句類型：復(fù)雜修飾、插入語 ◎大寶考研版權(quán)所有，拒絕轉(zhuǎn)載◎PiID5eDSiD
解釋：在本句中有三個(gè)詞需要先解釋一番：verge on這個(gè)詞組是接近于、瀕于的意思，hero在文學(xué)作品中是主人公的意思，pit作動(dòng)詞時(shí)，除了挖坑、窖藏之外，還有使競(jìng)爭(zhēng)、使斗爭(zhēng)的意思，其英文釋義為：to set as gamecocks into or as if into a pit to fight, to set into opposition or rivalry usually used with against.在此用的是后一種語義的被動(dòng)語態(tài)fate againt which Black heros are pitted.如果用主動(dòng)語態(tài)則是：pit black heros againt fate。 ◎大寶考研版權(quán)所有，拒絕轉(zhuǎn)載◎P15aWcSCQx
另外本句的結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，分號(hào)之后是一個(gè)一般疑問句，但是由于修飾成分過多，過長(zhǎng)，使得讀者看不清楚這個(gè)句子在問什么。其實(shí)如果沒有最后的那個(gè)prevalent theme的同位語a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression，本句會(huì)易懂得多。 ◎大寶考研版權(quán)所有，拒絕轉(zhuǎn)載◎dDig4ZWhQB
