7. 重复法 Repetition.pptVIP

Translation Skills ---Repetition Grammatically or rhetorically speaking, repetition of the same word, same expression and even the same structure in a sentence or a passage is more natural and idiomatic and thus much more frequent in Chinese than in English. Generally what is repeated in Chinese may in many cases be substituted, varied or omitted in English. 重复法就是重复译出原文中的某一词、短语或句子，使句子结构完整，表达生动，重点突出。与增词法不同的是，重复法是重复原文中已有的或省略了的，而增词法是增加文章表面没有的。 Compare Chinese with English: 一个地方有一个地方的全局，一个国家有一个国家的全局，一个地球有一个地球的全局。 A locality has its own over-all interest; a nation has another and the earth yet another. (nominal substitution) 另外一种方法是化学方法。 Another method is the chemical process. / Another approach is the chemical method. （Variation） 中国人从来就是一个伟大的勇敢的勤劳的民族，只是在近代落伍了。这种落伍，完全是被外国帝国主义和本国反动政府所压迫和剥削的结果。 The Chinese have always been a great, courageous and industrious nation; it is only in modern times that they have fallen behind. And that was due entirely to oppression and exploitation by foreign imperialism and domestic reactionary governments.
