如何瀟灑地考過(guò)英語(yǔ)一級(jí)筆譯(CATTI)?
常常有人留言詢問(wèn)：文刀君，你經(jīng)常談翻譯，你是做翻譯的嗎?
統(tǒng)一回復(fù)：真不是。
“外宣微記”顧名思義，記錄“對(duì)外宣傳”中的一點(diǎn)感悟，如果某些文章能收到“微言大義”之功效，文刀君就知足了。
“對(duì)外宣傳”四個(gè)字意識(shí)形態(tài)色彩有點(diǎn)濃，我們更希望做的是“國(guó)際傳播”，二者區(qū)別很大。前者側(cè)重“我說(shuō)你聽(tīng)”，后者側(cè)重“如何讓聽(tīng)者入耳又入心”。
用清華大學(xué)傳播學(xué)教授陸地的話說(shuō)，“一廂情愿地只‘告訴’自己想要聽(tīng)眾‘知道’的東西而不是聽(tīng)眾想要‘知道’的東西，我們的國(guó)際傳播機(jī)構(gòu)就會(huì)被視為‘宣傳機(jī)構(gòu)’而不是一個(gè)真正的國(guó)際性媒體，就無(wú)法和西方的國(guó)際媒體競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，就會(huì)失去或得不到更多的聽(tīng)眾?！?/p>
中國(guó)向世界表達(dá)自己，歸根結(jié)底要落實(shí)到“隊(duì)伍建設(shè)”上面，即要打造一支“熟悉中外國(guó)情、文化、語(yǔ)言”的國(guó)際傳播隊(duì)伍，而“翻譯本領(lǐng)”只是這支隊(duì)伍應(yīng)該具備的基礎(chǔ)本領(lǐng)罷了。
單從筆頭上論，會(huì)做翻譯，不見(jiàn)得英文寫(xiě)作也漂亮，英文寫(xiě)作漂亮不見(jiàn)得會(huì)寫(xiě)英文新聞稿或者評(píng)論稿。千萬(wàn)別以為英語(yǔ)四六級(jí)真能衡量一個(gè)人的英語(yǔ)水平，放到實(shí)踐當(dāng)中，或許還差著十萬(wàn)八千里呢!
舉個(gè)小例子，我們的英文新聞稿里經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)“...in Beijing, capital of China”。這么寫(xiě)有問(wèn)題嗎?要看情況。
如果純粹翻譯“某某活動(dòng)在中國(guó)首都北京舉行”，這樣寫(xiě)沒(méi)毛病;但若是新聞?dòng)⑽膶?xiě)作，就有點(diǎn)啰嗦了，因?yàn)橄癖本┻@樣舉世聞名的大城市，附上“capital of China”真的沒(méi)必要，從未見(jiàn)外媒報(bào)道時(shí)寫(xiě)“London, capital of the UK”“Paris, capital of France”。
最近，有不少關(guān)注者詢問(wèn)全國(guó)翻譯資格水平考試(CATTI)英語(yǔ)筆譯一級(jí)(相當(dāng)于副高/副教授水平)的考試經(jīng)驗(yàn)，文刀君也認(rèn)為可以趁這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)再聊一聊這個(gè)考試。
文刀君一個(gè)人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)似乎略單薄，好在身邊考過(guò)一級(jí)的小伙伴不在少數(shù)，粗略地“采訪”他們，還是收獲了不少寶貴經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
1、讀書(shū)。
讀幾本翻譯理論和技巧的書(shū)，好書(shū)，一兩本就夠了。比如《等效翻譯探索》《論英漢翻譯技巧》(中國(guó)譯協(xié)《中國(guó)翻譯》編輯部選編)《余光中談翻譯》等。一點(diǎn)翻譯理論和技巧都不掌握是不行的，否則翻譯水平是“不可持續(xù)的”。
學(xué)一點(diǎn)翻譯理論和技巧，實(shí)戰(zhàn)時(shí)心里才有一桿秤，有助于避免“華而不實(shí)”的亂譯和“機(jī)械呆板”的硬譯。
2、要天天洗“英文浴”。
輕松考過(guò)一級(jí)筆譯的小伙伴有個(gè)共同點(diǎn)：每天接觸大量英文。每天洗“英文浴”，久而久之必然能超群脫俗。但是，文刀君要提醒一點(diǎn)，要選好“洗澡水”。
電影《中國(guó)合伙人》講過(guò)一個(gè)意思(具體臺(tái)詞記不清了)：平時(shí)讀國(guó)內(nèi)“外宣媒體”寫(xiě)的英文感覺(jué)很輕松，但一讀外媒，比如《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》，就基本看不懂了。
外媒的文章其實(shí)并不難懂，新聞?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)畢竟不是文學(xué)作品，只要習(xí)慣了英語(yǔ)思維，就會(huì)越洗越舒服。讀新聞學(xué)英語(yǔ)可以從兩方面學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)思維：句式和用詞。比如，前幾天北京發(fā)布空氣污染橙色預(yù)警，不少外媒對(duì)此作了報(bào)道。路透社用“thin traffic”兩個(gè)單詞完美表達(dá)“限制交通”這個(gè)意思。動(dòng)詞“thin”多么形象、多么簡(jiǎn)潔有力!
這就是我們要學(xué)習(xí)積累的東西，洗“英文浴”得用好水，要不越洗越臟。
因?yàn)橹杏⑽乃季S方式的差異，我們?cè)诜g或者寫(xiě)作時(shí)還經(jīng)?！盁o(wú)意識(shí)”地犯一個(gè)錯(cuò)：拖沓啰嗦。不妨讀一讀《中式英語(yǔ)之鑒》，或許對(duì)文刀君所指的問(wèn)題有更深刻的了解。
3、積累中國(guó)特色詞匯英譯。
國(guó)內(nèi)“外宣媒體”(新華、中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)、中國(guó)網(wǎng)、CGTN等英文網(wǎng)站)在這方面就比外媒有優(yōu)勢(shì)，要經(jīng)常瀏覽，積累相關(guān)詞匯。其實(shí)，最鮮活的材料莫過(guò)于十九大報(bào)告英文版。
“新型大國(guó)關(guān)系”、“構(gòu)建人類命運(yùn)共同體”、“去產(chǎn)能”、“去庫(kù)存”、“大眾創(chuàng)新萬(wàn)眾創(chuàng)業(yè)”、“我國(guó)社會(huì)主要矛盾變化”、“精準(zhǔn)扶貧”等中國(guó)特色表述你會(huì)翻譯嗎?
對(duì)于想考CATTI一、二、三級(jí)筆譯的同學(xué)而言，把十九大報(bào)告英文版啃透了，就很不一般了!
溫馨提醒：以上三條均可在“枕上(長(zhǎng)夜無(wú)眠時(shí))、廁上(蹲坑時(shí))、馬上(地鐵公交)”完成。不要以如臨大敵、嚴(yán)陣以待的姿勢(shì)和心態(tài)對(duì)待英文考試，結(jié)果會(huì)讓你失望的，語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)需要點(diǎn)滴積累、久久為功。
4、運(yùn)氣。
文刀君“采訪”的幾位小伙伴不約而同地說(shuō)到“運(yùn)氣”二字。
一級(jí)筆譯題型無(wú)非是“英譯中”、“中譯英”、“審校”，千變?nèi)f化不離英語(yǔ)基本功和翻譯水平。當(dāng)你的學(xué)習(xí)不以考試為導(dǎo)向時(shí)，自然不會(huì)在一級(jí)筆譯的“威名”前膽怯，有時(shí)候“威名”是被圍觀群眾抬起來(lái)的。
當(dāng)你以無(wú)招勝有招的心態(tài)面對(duì)考試，“不小心”通過(guò)了真的會(huì)感到些許意外：啊，原來(lái)我也能過(guò)，運(yùn)氣，運(yùn)氣......
這幾條經(jīng)驗(yàn)，只能算“武俠秘籍”的總綱，不是招式詳解。武俠里的高手，最看重的是“武功心法”而不拘泥于“武功招式”。正如“考試帶什么字典”、“時(shí)間怎么分配”這些問(wèn)題，文刀君認(rèn)為那是細(xì)枝末節(jié)的末節(jié)，不值一談。
學(xué)英語(yǔ)又好比佛教徒修行，萬(wàn)千法門(mén)總有一個(gè)適合你，可以以人為師，但不要邯鄲學(xué)步。
