【摘要】 本翻译实践报告基于笔者在北京理工大学研究生期间所完成的科普文本翻译实践——北鼎教育咨询(北京)有限公司《英汉互译修改与提升》科普部分初译,以语言顺应论为指导,旨在为科普文本被动句英译汉提供一定的翻译策略。语言顺应论(Linguistic Adaptation Theory)提出应以全新的视角去理解和诠释语言使用,顺应论的三个核心概念包括变异性(variability)、商讨性(negotiability)和顺应性(adaptability)。在忠实原文语义的前提下,译文需要顺应读者的社会文化语境,符合读者所处的社会文化语境中的语言规则、规范和表述习惯,做到句法和词汇的地道、准确。本研究指出了科普文本和英汉被动句的特征,详细描述了翻译过程,同时对语言顺应论的发展以及其与翻译实践相结合的相关研究进行了阐述。最后,笔者通过对译例进行分析,提出相应的翻译策略——将科普英语被动句翻译成中文主动句、无主句、被动句、判断句等。希望能指导笔者日后的翻译实践,并为其他译者在该领域的翻译提供可参考的建议。

【Abstract】 Based on the author’s translating of popular science texts during her graduate studies,this report aims to put forward some E-C translation strategies for the passive voice from the perspective of pragmatic adaptation theory.The three key concepts of Verschueren’s Pragmatic Adaptation theory,namely variability,negotiability and adaptability refresh the understanding of language meaning and its uses.Therefore,the process of translation,from this perspective,is shifting from a line of understanding,converting and expressing in terms of language itself to a complex mode of negotiation and adaptation in certain socio-cultural context and consequently the criteria of translation are changed.After describing the genre of popular science texts,comparing the linguistic and pragmatic features of English and Chinese passive voice,by analysing examples from her translation practices,the author puts forward some translation strategies of passive voice: translating the English passives into Chinese active voice,sentence with no subject,passive voice and determinative sentences,in order to provide some inspiration and reference for other translators.
