7.1 会见类新闻
随着经济社会发展以及地区交往与国际交流的日益频繁,领导人会见来访客人在我国的新闻报道中占据一定比例,而且我国的新闻报道长期以来有报道领导人活动的惯例。此类稿件的英译目前已形成了一定的规律和套路,如标题有两种处理方式,一种是比较刻板的翻译,按照中文新闻直译,而另一种则是提取新闻主要内容,重新撰写标题。导语翻译也是如此。
由于会见类新闻报道模式相似,因此译文在语言使用有以下一些共同点:
1)“会见”通常译为meet with而不是meet;
2)由于会见的客人是有身份的,需要解释,时间和地点状语就提前到谓语动词之前;
3)很多情况下会见的对象是对方的一位领导人率领的一个代表团,因此,译文中通常以delegation为宾语,后接led/headed by引导的短语,表示该代表团的领导人是谁;
4)根据我国领导人会见类新闻报道的惯例,新闻正文开头的第一句话就是主人向客人的来访表示热烈欢迎。这句话的译文已基本形成套路如下:主人extended his/her warm welcome to the guest(s);
5)在表达热烈欢迎之后,按照惯例,主人会向客人介绍本地的情况,尤其是经济情况。注意这时候的“介绍”应该使用brief somebody on something这一结构;
6)会见类新闻无非是主客双方的交谈,因此离不开与“说”有关的动词,译文中应注意此类动词使用的多样化以及说话人的语气,因为英语特别强调用不同的动词来表达“说话”,常见的除了say之外还有remark,note,add,reiterate,urge,mention,emphasize等。也可以用according to主人/客人来标记他们所说的话;
7)会见中客人少不了要礼节性地对主人的接待表示感谢,这时候的常见表达是“客人express his/her appreciation for the hospitality of主人”;
8)新闻正文中的主语除了使用主客人的姓名外还可以根据国外习惯直接使用其姓氏,也可以使用其职务,以避免重复同一个主语,还可以直接使用第三人称代词,如省长姓名、省长的姓氏、governor,he等。此外,如果会见双方是身份对等的官员,还可以使用英语中的相应单词counterpart,同样可以起到避免重复的作用,同时也可以使译文表达多样化;
9)新闻全文在确保重要事实和数据的前提下可以灵活运用各种手段进行适度编译;
10)会见类新闻报道译文常用词语和表达:
①双方关系十分密切enjoy close ties
②促进交流与合作promote exchange and cooperation
③双方both parties/two sides
④双边合作bilateral cooperation
⑤双边贸易bilateral trade
⑥保持友好关系maintain good relationship
⑦共同努力make joint efforts
⑧取得巨大成就great achievements have been made
⑨扩大/推进合作expand/enlarge/promote/further cooperation
⑩由……共同举办/发起jointly sponsored by...
⑪扩大交流与合作deepen the exchange and cooperation
⑫更紧密的关系和更广泛的合作closer ties and broader cooperation
