海上日出

Sunrise at Sea

  巴金

  Ba Jin

  为了看日出,我常常早起。那时天还没有大亮,周围非常清静,船上只有机器的响声。

  I would often get up early to watch the sunrise when it was not yet quite light and all was quiet except for the droning of the ship engine.

  要点:

  本段重点在于合译,译者增用 了when, and, except for几个连接词 ,把汉语表达的意思串联了起来,表达的逻辑之美由此而生 。

  天空还是一片浅蓝,颜色很浅。转眼间天边出现了一道红霞,慢慢地在扩大它的范围,加强它的亮光。我知道太阳要从天边升起来了,便不转眼地望着那里。

  The sky was pale with a bluish hue. Soon a streak of pink dawn broke over the horizon,expanding gradually and becoming brighter and brighter. Knowing that the sun was about to rise, I had my eyes fixed on the distant edge of the sea.

  要点:

  1,“还没有大亮”=be not quite light,在《看月》中,有个“没有‘断黑’”= is not yet quite dark,“大亮”“断黑”都是程度副词+形容词的结构,通常用quiet+adj结构

  2,“机器的响声”译为the droning of the ship engine.。“机器”这里指轮船上的steam engine,即蒸汽发动机,不宜译为macine.另外“响声”译为droning,表示机器的单调低沉的嗡嗡响声,较单纯的sound更有形象感

  3,“浅蓝”=bluish,意为“带点蓝的,浅蓝色的”, -ish这个后缀表示”带…性质的,稍…的“,在《离别》和《杜鹃》中,我们也见到过此类构词法,这类表示颜色的词大家要注意,因为文学作品中出于细节刻画的'需要,会将颜色描写得十分具体,翻译时也要注重选词的准确和美感哦~

  4,“天边”是指海天交接之处,即“地平线”,译为the horizon,之后的“那里”文中处理为the distant edge of the sea,避免了重复

  5,“一道红霞”也可译为a streak of rosy dawn或a rosy streak of dawn

  果然过了一会儿,在那个地方出现了太阳的小半边脸,红是真红,却没有亮光。这个太阳好像负着重荷似的一步一步、慢慢地努力上升,到了最后,终于冲破了云霞,完全跳出了海面,颜色红得非常可爱。一刹那间,这个深红的圆东西,忽然发出了夺目的亮光,射得人眼睛发痛,它旁边的云片也突然有了光彩。

  As expected, the sun soon appeared revealing half of its face, which was very red but not bright. It kept rising laboriously bit by bit as if weighted down with a heavy burden on its back until,after breaking through the rosy clouds ;it completely emerged from the sea aglow with a lovely red. Then,before I knew it, the dark red orb began to shine blazingly, dazzling my eyes until they stung and all of a sudden lighting up the surrounding cloud.
