Трудности перевода в примерах.
Практическое пособие для студентов III-IV курсов.
Данное пособие предназначено для отработки навыков письменного перевода и перевода с листа (ПСЛ) с английского на русский язык. Несмотря на
кажущуюся легкость ПСЛ по сравнению с устным переводом на слух, на
практике такой перевод часто вызывает наибольшие трудности, что в основном объясняется недостаточным знанием учащимися родного языка, неумением адекватно выразить свои мысли, а также сильным влиянием английского текста, что приводит к калькированию, буквализму, нарушению норм
русского языка.
Материалы пособия можно использовать для перевода на слух и отработке
навыков с применением лексико-грамматических трансформаций.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ
Данное пособие является практическим пополнением серии "Мир перевода" по углублению практических навыков перевода с листа (ПСЛ) на
русский язык. Парадоксально, что, несмотря на кажущуюся сравнительную
легкость ПСЛ по сравнению с переводом на слух, на практике он часто вызывает наибольшие трудности. Это в основном объясняется недостаточным
знанием учащимися родного языка, неумением адекватно выразить свои
мысли, а также сильным влиянием английского текста в процессе ПСЛ, что
приводит к калькированию, буквализму, нарушению норм русского языка.
Материалы пособия можно использовать, в зависимости от уровня учащихся, для письменного перевода или перевода на слух с применением лексико-грамматических трансформаций.
Примеры в пособии взяты из прессы 1960—1990 годов, а также художественной литературы XX века и дают представление о развитии языка и изменениях значений некоторых слов.
Переводческие трудности выделены полужирным шрифтом. В некоторых разделах даются варианты перевода, не претендующие на совершенство, но указывающие на возможные переводческие решения проблем.
Рекомендуется обратить внимание на передачу сложной модальности,
особенно в случаях may have been, could have done, might as well have said и
др., которые часто вызывают затруднение при переводе (см. разделы: Модальность, Would, Модальные глаголы).
Пособие состоит из двух частей: LEVEL A (Introductory) — начальный
уровень — основные виды трансформаций при переводе, LEVEL В (Advanced) — более сложные случаи переводческих трансформаций и распознавания "ловушек" в процессе как письменного, так и устного перевода с
листа.
В Приложении рассматривается концепция модульного способа обучению устному переводу (Modules of Employable Skills), ориентированного на
практическую деятельность и индивидуальный подход к обучению.

Особенности перевода с листа (ПСЛ) —
(sight translation) на русский язык
Переводящий получает незнакомый текст — иногда времени на подготовку совсем нет, иногда предоставляется немного времени на ознакомление;
затем переводит вслух, — в идеале — быстро, четко и на хорошем русском
языке.
Факторы, усложняющие задачу переводящего при ПСЛ:
Необходимость:
— одновременно читать, переводить и проговаривать свой перевод;
— членить текст или объединять фразы/предложения на такие отрезки,
которые могут быть успешно переведены и лучше восприняты слушателем;
— недостаточная культура языка и речи переводящего.
Факторы, облегчающие задачу ПСЛ:
— возможность получить время для подготовки (не всегда);
— наличие зрительной опоры для уверенного перевода;
— зрительное восприятие прецизионной информации, что значительно
облегчает перевод, делает его более точным;
— другие преимущества восприятия информации не на слух, а зрительно.
Необходимые навыки и умения:
— быстрое переключение на язык перевода при широком использовании
полуавтоматической подстановки готовых соответствий (клише, штампов);
— умение совмещать проговаривание перевода с чтением следующего
отрезка оригинала;
— владение всеми выразительными средствами родного языка и умение
пользоваться ими для достижения максимальной адекватности ПСЛ.
Главные требования к переводящему с листа:
— профессиональное владение родным языком, отвлечение от "давления" оригинала, умелое использование всех видов переводческих
трансформаций.
Методические рекомендации к учебнику
Пособие может быть применяться на начальном этапе обучения
письменному переводу для обработки перевода наиболее сложных
случаев, а также как часть практического курса теории перевода.

Joad?
Later in the same book report, the student explored the ending of the
novel, in which Rose of Sharon Joad, having lost a still-born baby, offers
her milk-laden breast to a starving migrant worker for nourishment. Steinbeck's closing sentence reads: "She looked up and across the bar, and her
lips came together and smiled mysteriously." Here is what my student
wrote: "Rose of Sharon now starts to reach out to others, and the book
closes with her feeding a starving man, smiling mysteriously."
Ever since, the look on that fellow's face has remained in my mind's
eye.
My student's two botched sentences are superb examples of the
scalding (hot) water writers can get themselves into when they misplace
modifier. Many of the most amusing grammatical errors occur when ambiguous phrases and clauses end up in the wrong part of the sentence.
Here is an array of adult examples:
— Yoko Ono will talk about her husband, John Lennon, who was killed in
an interview with Barbara Walters.
— Please take time to look over the brochure that is enclosed with your
family.
— Calf born to farmer with two heards.
— Some sources said shortly after his death Mao Tse Tung had expressed
a wish that his body by cremated.
— Two cards were reported stolen by Groveton police yesterday.
— A 30-year old St. Petersburg man was found murdered by his parents
in his home late Saturday.
— The judge sentenced the killer to die in the electric chair for the second
time.
50
— Here are some suggestions for handling obscene phone calls from New
England Telephone Company.
— About two years ago, a wart (бородавка) appeared on my left hand, which
I wanted removed.
— On the floor above him lived a redheaded instructor in physical education,
whose muscular calves he admired when they nodded to each other by the
mailbox.
— Do not park your car at the taxi stand or it will be towed away.
— "He's the horse of a lifetime," said trainer Packy Lawrence. He'll retire
after today's race and be shipped to Kentucky, where he'll begin a career as
stud (жеребец).
— The French government is preparing commercials encouraging the use of
condoms which are blunt enough to shock even liberal Americans.
— People who use birth control methods that smoke a lot are in danger of
having retarded children.
References wanted or ambiguous meaning: a lesson
from history
Croesus, the last king of Lydia and the fellow we all want to be richer
than*, decided in 546 BC to make a war on Persia. Being a careful man Croesus sought advice from the oracle at Delphi. Should he invade Persia, or
shouldn't he?
According to the legend the oracle answered, "If you cross the river
Halys, you will destroy a mighty empire."
Croesus interpreted this sentence as a good omen and proceeded to attack
Persia. But after many setbacks, the king was taken prisoner at Sardis.
The oracle had been right. By waging war on Persia, Croesus did destroy
a mighty empire — his own.
King Croesus was a victim of an ambiguous reference. The oracle's
prophecy contained the phrase "a mighty empire" which could have referred
either to Lydia or to Persia. Because Croesus failed to analyze the sentence,
his kingdom Lydia ceased to exist.
*As rich as Croesus — богат как Крёз.
51
Reference problems are mostly caused by the ambiguous use
of pronouns:
Examples:
Guilt and bitterness can be emotionally destructive to you and your children.
You must get rid of them (of who or that?)
Laffing at misspellings or ubiquities Miss Print
— Floods from the Mississippi may be prevented by putting big dames an
the river. (dams)
— Four coarse meals. (course)
— Today's special: barely soup. (barley)
— Man arrested for possession of Heroine. (heroin)
— Panel agree to much sex on television. (too)
— Mr. and Mrs. Garth Robinson request the honor of your presents at the
marriage of their daughter Holly to Mr. James Stockman. (presence)

Пример строения учебного элемента по переводу
фразеологических единиц (ФЕ)
I. Цели обучения
Цели
Изучив данный учебный элемент, вы сможете:
1. Распознавать фразеологизм в тексте
2. Определять стратегию, необходимую для перевода ФЕ
Ресурсы и средства обучения
1. Словарь фразеологизмов
2. Набор примерных текстов
Необходимая подготовка
Учебные элементы
1. Описательный перевод
2. Калькирование как переводческий метод
3. Лекционный курс лексикологии
II. Содержание
Фразеологизмы — это связные, устойчивые словосочетания, иногда даже целые предложения, которые, как правило, обладают либо полностью, либо частично переносным значением.
Основная особенность — несоответствие плана содержания плану
выражения, что определяет его специфику, придает гибкость и
глубину значению.
Фразеологизм — замкнутый микроконтекст, в котором реализуются не только формальные связи между планом выражения и
планом содержания такого знака, но и ассоциативносемантические, причем не обязательно логически выводимые из
самого микроконтекста.
Умение распознавать в тексте.
Умение анализировать речевые функции фразеологизмов.
Национально-культурные различия.
56
Стратегия перевода:
1. Поиск идентичной фразеологической единицы в языке перевода
— оптимальное решение. Число таких соответствий весьма ограничено.
2. Поиск аналогичной фразеологической единицы, имеющей общее с
исходным значением, но построенной на иной словесно-образной
основе. Нередко сходные по значению, но разные по форме ФЕ в раз
ных языках имеют различную эмоционально-ассоциативную окраску
и не всегда взаимозаменяемы.
3. Калькирование, или пословный перевод. Применяется чаще всего
по отношению к третьим источникам, например, так нередко перево
дятся ФЕ, ведущие происхождение из античной культуры, религиоз
но-библейских или иных широко известных источников.
4. Двойной, параллельный перевод ФЕ, когда в одной фразе сочетают ся ФЕ (переведенная, например, посредством калькирования) и
объяс нение ее переносного значения в возможно более кратком виде.
5. Перевод-объяснение, т.е. перевод посредством трансформации ус
тойчивого словосочетания в свободное.
Упражнения
Упражнение на выделение ФЕ в тексте (письменном, потом в устном).
Упражнение на устный перевод отдельных фраз с ФЕ.
Упражнение на перевод текста, содержащего ФЕ.

Линн Виссон. "Синхронный перевод с русского языка на английский" (авторизованный перевод с английского). 3-е изд. Предназначено
для старшекурсников и преподавателей языковых факультетов и вузов, а
также для всех тех, кто самостоятельно и серьезно изучает английский
язык. Переработано и дополнено для русских читателей. Автор — американка русского происхождения, родилась и живет в Нью-Йорке. Получила докторскую степень в Гарвардском университете, профессор Колумбийского и др. университетов. Много лет работает синхронным переводчиком в ООН, участвует в сложнейших политических переговорах,
автор целого ряда учебников и книг о разных аспектах жизни в нашей
стране. Этот учебник — обобщение переводческого опыта автора. Это
не теоретическое исследование, а целостный набор практических
средств для овладения переводческим мастерством.
Линн Виссон. Практикум по синхронному переводу с русского языка на английский (с аудиоприложением). 2-е изд. Рассчитано на начинающих переводчиков с хорошим знанием английской грамматики. Этот
сборник представляет собой единую по содержанию, но смешанную по
форме — письменную и устную — композицию, условно может быть
поделен на три части: 1) русские тексты: речи и заявления на заседаниях
ООН и др. международных организаций, выступления ораторов в различных аудиториях, интервью и др. материалы на самые разные темы,
среди которых — вопросы политики, экономики, экологии, медицины,
искусства и др.; 2) переводы на английский язык, причем в двух вариантах: опытном и окончательном; здесь же даются объяснения и комментарии к текстам, слова и выражения, представляющие для переводчика
наибольшую трудность; грамматические и синтаксические приемы перевода одних и тех же выражений разными способами; стилистические
варианты подачи материала и их анализ; 3) 4 кассеты, где записаны тексты в их окончательном варианте и русские и английские тексты произносят носители языка в различном темпе, с разными акцентами. Учебный комплект является самостоятельным изданием, но в то же время
способен выполнить роль приложения к учебнику "Синхронный перевод
с русского языка на английский"
П.Р.Палажченко. "Всё познается в сравнении, или Несистематический словарь трудностей, тонкостей и премудростей английского
языка в сопоставлении с русским". 3-е изд. В словаре вы найдете не
только новые значения тех или иных слов, перевод фразеологизмов,
"ложных друзей переводчика", безэквивалентной лексики, но и материал
для повышения эрудиции: библейскую лексику, иноязычные вкрапления, шекспиризмы и многое др. Словарь содержит сведения лексикологического, лексикографического и культурно-лингвистического характера, готовится русско-английская часть словаря. Как написал "МК", "Альтернативы этой работе... нет. Книга нужна тем, кто уже знает язык, вернее, считает, что знает. Потому что даже опытные переводчики частенько садятся в лужу, столкнувшись с самыми обычными для американцев
и англичан словами и конструкциями... Сплошные трудности и премудрости... Но для тех, кто в состоянии их оценить, словарь окажется не
только полезным, но и в высшей степени увлекательным чтением".
Э.П.Ельникова, З.А.Зарубина, Л.Ф.Кудрявцева, М.Ф.Ширманова. "Совершенствуйте свой английский" и "Продолжайте совершенствовать свой английский".
(3-е. изд.) Пособия ставят своей целью развитие навыков диалогической
и монологической речи и обучение ведению дискуссий и полемики в
процессе бытового и делового общения; систематизацию и расширение
словарного запаса, характерного для разговорной речи и делового общения; систематизацию и закрепление грамматических структур, необходимых для активного владения устной речью, включая публичные выступления; обучение речевым моделям современной английской и американской художественной литературы, разговорной речи и публичных
выступлений. Тематика пособий имеет страноведческую и социальную
направленность и охватывает такие темы, как ТВ, кино, театр, музыка,
живопись, литература, образование, спорт, ораторское искусство. Пособия построены по принципу ситуативно-коммуникативного обучения
иностранному языку и содержат краткий курс грамматики в системе
таблиц, составленный с учетом функциональных факторов общения, и
поурочный словарь сочетаемости лексических единиц, отобранный по
принципу частотности употребления в разговорной речи, публичных
выступлениях и деловых беседах. Пособия были апробированы и отредактированы в Англии и США. По своей структуре и комплексному
подходу к обучению устной речи пособия не имеют аналогов ни в нашей
стране, ни за рубежом.
Тесты по иностранным языкам (английский, немецкий,
французский, испанский) и Ключи к тестам. Тесты подготовлены институтом иностранного языка Государственной академии
управления и предназначены для старшеклассников, абитуриентов, слушателей курсов и факультетов иностранного языка.

Д.И.Ермолович. "Имена собственные на стыке языков и культур" (Заимствование и передача имен собственных с точки зрения лингвистики и теории перевода).
Содержит сведения лексикологического, лексикографического и культурно-лингвистического характера. Издание посвящено проблеме передачи имен собственных в межъязыковой и межкультурной коммуникации. В книге ставится задача вооружить читателей не только общетеоретическими, но и конкретными практическими знаниями. Работа построена на материале русского и английского языков, однако в полной мере
учитывается и подчеркивается тот факт, что читатель может иметь дело
с именами собственными, происходящими из самых разных языков. В
приложениях — указания по регулярной практической транскрипции
(транслитерации) собственных имен английского языка на русский и с
русского на английский, а также с основных европейских языков и некоторых азиатских (турецкого, китайского, японского). В систематическом
виде сведения, изложенные в этой книге, публикуются впервые.
И.Г.Башина. "Русско-английский словарь глагольных эквивалентов". Уникальность данного издания в том, что автор, проанализировав
множество глаголов, сумел отобрать для своего издания именно те ряды
семантически недифференцированных русских глаголов и их семантически дифференцированных английских эквивалентов, незнание и неверное употребление которых чаще всего приводит к ошибкам при переводе с русского на английский. В приложение к словарю включены
упражнения на перевод и употребление глаголов и лингвокультурологические комментарии об особенностях их семантики и картины мира русского и английского языка.

Аудит, бухгалтерские операции, бухучет, коммерческая деятельность, налогообложение, сделки с недвижимостью". Содержит слова
и выражения, наиболее часто употребляемые в аудиторской, банковской,
бухгалтерской, коммерческой деятельности, налогообложении и работе
с наличностью. Кроме терминов, употребляемых повсеместно в англоговорящих странах, в словаре также приводятся особые лексические единицы, характерные только для Великобритании или США, и некоторые
латинские слова и выражения. К словарю даются два приложения: 1) с
сокращениями по тематике словаря; 2) с названиями некоторых бухгалтерских счетов.
