 Translation of Descriptive and Narrative Texts (I) 描述与叙述文体的翻译 Contents 一、描述与叙述文体的特点 描述与叙述文体主要包括散文、小说、戏剧、诗歌 它们之间存在明显差异，但是使用的文学语言(literary language)却有着共同的基本特点。 （一）形象性 （vividness） 描述与叙述文体最显著的特点是其形象性。无论是小说、散文、戏剧还是诗歌，都力图以各种语言手段在读者的脑海中塑造生动鲜明的形象，以达到表情达意的效果 Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the moment. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn ad wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. 我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光! 我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中! 乘着火车, 我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓, 以及乡间的庄园宅第! （二）抒情性（expressiveness） 在科技文章中，当叙述科学事实或理论时，使用的语言是客观、中性、不带感情色彩的;而在描述与叙述文体中，语言往往为渲染的需要带上了浓重的抒情性。运用得当，就能大大提高作品的感染力。 Livid lightening flares in storm-clouds o’er the vast expanse of ocean, and the flaming darts are captured and extinguished by the waters, while the serpentine reflections writhe, expiring, in the deep. The storm! The storm will soon be breaking! Still the valiant Stormy Petrel proudly wheels among the lightening, o’ver the roaring, raging ocean, and his cry resound sextant, like a prophecy of triumph. Let it break in all its fury. 一堆堆的乌云，像青色的火焰， 在无底的大海上燃烧。大海抓住金箭似的闪电， 把它熄灭在自己的深渊里。闪电的影子， 像一条条火蛇， 在大海里蜿蜒浮动， 一晃就消失了。 暴风雨， 暴风雨就要来啦！ 这是勇敢的海燕， 在闪电之间， 在怒吼的大海上高傲地飞翔。 这胜利的预言家在叫喊： “让暴风雨来得猛烈些吧！” （戈宝权译） （三）含蓄性（implicitness） 描述与叙述文体往往留下足够的空间让读者去想像、去思索、去回味。因此，含蓄性也是文学语言的一大特色。 When they entered, they found hanging upon the wall a splendid portrait of their master as they had last seen him, in all the wonder of his exquisite youth and beauty. Lying on the floor was a dead man, in evening dress, with a knife in his heart. He was withered, wrinkled, and loathsome of visage. It was not till they had examined the rings
