英語翻譯
在紐馬克的翻譯教程里遇到一句法語的翻譯,原文如下（加粗的文字）:Cultural concessions(e.g.,a shift to a generic term) are possible only where the cultural word is marginal,not important for local colour,and has no relevant connotative or symbolic meaning.Thus,in a Bazin text,it is inadequate to translate: ' Il est le plus pélican des pères' as 'He is the most devoted of fathers' or 'He is a symbol of paternal love,a pelican.' A compromise version,retaining the cultural element (pélican),might be 'He is as devoted as a pelican to his young.'  這里的Bazin是法國作家嗎?我查到兩個(gè)姓Bazin的作家,但是不懂是哪一個(gè).這個(gè)不是重點(diǎn)先不管.Il est le plus pélican des pères這句話的意思是什么,我姑且這么譯了.在Bazin的文章里,將“Il est le plus pélican des pères”譯為“他是神父最忠實(shí)的仆人.”或者“他是父愛的象征,一只鷓鴣.”都是不妥當(dāng)?shù)?特別是這句.He is a symbol of paternal love,a pelican.
