翻譯技巧——如何翻譯口語化的用語

在口譯工作中，常遇到一些口語化的用語，通俗淺顯，但含義深邃，翻譯成英文時，既要符合原文的意思，又要順乎英文的語言習慣，使對方能正確理解講話人的意思。這是口譯工作中的一個難點。這里涉及兩種文化和思維方式的相通。既要“知己”，即對中國思維方式的理解，又要“知彼”，即了解對方的思維方式和語言習慣。本人收集了一些通俗的口語，試譯成英文，很不成熟，僅供口譯工作者參考。

　　1. 辛苦了

　　當外賓剛抵達（下飛機）時，可以說:

　　“You’ve had a long flight(or tiring journey)”.

　　“Did you have a good trip?”

　　對工作勞累和辦事“辛苦”，可說：

　　“You’ve been working hard.” “You’ve had a hectic day(or tiring)day.”

　　“Thank you for all the trouble you’ve taken.”

　　這事恐怕又得“辛苦”您了。

　　“I am afraid we’ll have to trouble you again.”

　　在檢閱時，首長對列隊人員說“同志們，辛苦了！”
