【摘要】 翻译就是在译入语中产生原语信息最接近自然的对等。要达到最接近自然对等的目的,翻译必须在语篇层面上进行。语篇不仅仅是句子的组合,而是一个意思单元。一个语意连贯的语篇必须具有语篇特征,衔接和连贯为其主要内容。衔接是语篇的有形网络,体现在语篇的表层结构上;连贯则为其无形网络,存在于语篇的底层,通过逻辑推理来达到语意的连贯。没有衔接一个语篇将不成其为语篇,衔接是产生语篇的必要(尽管不足)的条件。衔接作为语篇特征之一,是联系语篇各部分的词汇、语法等的关系,它要求读者照应前后文来解释词义。不同的语言对衔接手段有特殊的偏好。因此,在语篇层面上进行翻译时,译者必须在译文中达到衔接标准,从而产生连接的译文。 本文认为语篇意识在翻译中很重要,把篇章语言学的成果应用于翻译过程中可起到有益的指导性作用。通过对语篇衔接手段的了解,译者可以更清晰地把握住原文与译文衔接方式的不同,从而有助于译文的语意衔接。 英语重形合,汉语重意合。不同的语言特征导致英汉双语转换中在达到语义连贯时衔接手段上的一定的差异性。本文讨论了衔接的概念,从五个方面——照应、替代、省略、连接和词汇(复现、同现)对比了英汉衔接手段的异同,讨论了显性和隐性两种翻译策略。

【Abstract】 Translating means translating meaning. Translation consists of transferring the meaning of the source language into the receptor language. This is done by going from the form of the first language to the form of a second language by way of semantic structure. To achieve the meaning transfer, translation should be done on the text level. A text is not simply the combination of sentences, but a unit of meaning. A cohere text has texture, i.e. cohesion and coherence as its chief contents. Cohesion is the visible net of a text, reflecting itself on the surface of the text; coherence is the invisible net of a text at the bottom through logic and reason. A text would never be a text if there is no cohesion and cohesion is a necessary though not a sufficient condition for the creation of a text. As one of the textures cohesion is the network of lexical, grammatical, and other relations which provide links between various parts of a text, for instance by requiring the reader to interpret words and expressions by reference to other words and expressions in the surrounding sentences and paragraphs. Different language has different preference for using cohesive devices. Therefore, at the text level in translating, translator should achieve cohesion in order to make the translation cohesive.The paper argues that text consciousness is important and that the application of the achievement of text linguistics is instructively beneficial to the translator. Though understanding of the cohesive devices used in the text, translator is clear about the difference between the source text and the target text which will contribute to a cohesive translation. Being a hypotaxis language, English is different from parataxis Chinese in the usage of cohesive devices. The paper deals with the concept of cohesion and the difference in its usage between English and Chinese and the ways of producing cohesive translation. Comparison of the devices has been made in the paper on five aspects: reference, substitution, ellipsis and conjunction, lexical cohesion (reiteration and collocation). Overt and covert translation as translation strategies are discussed in the paper.
