Translation of discourse 汉英篇章翻译 Translation of discourse What is the discourse? Discourse means either written or spoken communication or debate or a formal discussion of debate. The term is often used in semantics and discourse analysis.A discourse often meets seven standards of textuality. 篇章（text）是表达整体概念的语义单位。篇章是语言在交际中，特别是在书面交际中的对象和理想单位。它不只是一连串句子和段落的集合，而是一个结构完整、功能明确的语义统一体。（陈宏薇） 篇章翻译是指高于句子层次或句以上的语言单位的翻译。（王治奎） 语篇指不完全受句子语法约束的在一定语境下表示完整意义的自然语言。它具有形式和逻辑的一致性。语篇并非是互不关联的句子的简单堆积，而是一些意义相联系的句子为达到一定交际目的，通过各种衔接手段而实现的有机结合。 （一）A Comparison Between Chinese Discourse and English Discourse 1.The Similarities 1.1 Cohesion (衔接）(cohesive devices) It concerns how the actual words we hear or see are mutually connected within a sequence. 1.2 Coherence （连贯性）(coherent) It concerns the ways in which the components of the textual word are mutually accessible and relevant. (distribute knowledge or attain a object) 1.3 Intentionality (意图性） It’s about the writer’s attitude or purpose of creating the discourse. 1.4 Acceptability (可接受性） It concerns the text receiver’s attitude. A good discourse should be totally acceptable by the readers. 1.5 Informativity (信息性） It concerns the extent to which the occurrences of the presented text are expected or unexpected. 1.6 Situationality (语境性OR情境性) It concerns the factors which makes a text relevant to a situation of occurrences, 1.7 Inter-textuality (互文性） It concerns the factors which make the utilization of one text dependent upon knowledge of one or more previously encountered texts. 2. The Differences 2.1 Chinese Discourse→Inductive（归纳 性的） →Spiral English Discourse →Deductive（演绎性的）→Straight 他出生在这一类人中间，出生在这种地方，他还有这样的母亲，这些要是让他知道的话，他会多么丢人。 he knew how ashamed he would have been if she had known his mother and the kind of place in which he was born, and the kind of people among whom he was born. 2.2 Parataxis VS Hypotaxis Chinese discourse -----parataxis(意合） English discourse-------Hypotaxis (形合） Example(1)牡丹江水，汹涌澎湃，万马奔腾，一泻千里。 Trans
