直译和意译

一般笔译以直译为主，口译以意译为主。

直译在笔译中占70%而意译占30%。

为了尊重句子原意，如果直译正确应当选用直译。但是直译容易出错，一旦出错就要考虑意译。在口语和文化差异的翻译上直译容易出错的。其中文化差异包括在成语、俚语、俗语、名言、格言等。

Men tend to be romantics,often falling in love more quickly than women, who tend to focus on practical considerations in choosing a mate.男人倾向于浪漫，经常比女人更快陷入爱河而女人在选择伴侣时倾向于注意考虑实际问题。Women are looking for long-term qualities in a partner.女人在伴侣身上寻求专一的品质。

For more than men, they allow their heads to control their hearts.比起男人，她更能够让理智控制情感。

Even though women may ache for love, they carry around an inner evaluator who asks,can I count on this man?

即便女人渴望爱情，她们会自己问自己：我能指望这个男人吗？

So any man who hopes to sweep a woman off his feet had better lengthen his timetable, and pay as much attention to characteristics such as kindne and dependability as he does to his hair, his clothes and his savoir-faire.因此想要让女人对己倾心的男人最好延长他的追求时间，就像注重自己的发型、服饰和社交方式一样，尽量表现出诸如体贴、可靠等特点来。

中译英中在文化差异上，例如熟语的翻译，常常通过意译来达到“信、达、雅”，注意意译时要抓关键词！

1.Translation of Idiomatic Phrases

1)塞翁失马，焉知非福

如果直译的话，是这样的：

When the old man on the frontier lost his mare, who could have gueed it was a bleing in disguise?

很明显直译是在讲个故事，但是却无法体现成语要表达的因祸得福的意思。所以我们需要意译：

A lo may turn out to be gain.黄鼠狼给鸡拜年，没安好心

同样如果直译：

the weasel goes to pay his respects to the hen without good heart

这句话前半句可以直译，但是“没安好心”应该意译成“没有好的意图”：

the weasel goes to pay his respects to the hen without good intentions

八仙过海，各显神通
