英语读书笔记 篇1
因为对于翻译这门手艺充满了憧憬,就买了一堆北外上外考研指定用书回家研究,中式英语之鉴就是其中一本,读完有些思考想跟大家唠唠。平卡姆老师在这本书中用的英语不是很难,单词平均难度在专四和专八之间,过了专四或者六级的人看应该会比较有收获,在“学习区”内,所以推荐一下这本书。
作者写中式英语之鉴是为了纠正一些中国人运用英语时错误的不地道的表达,那么首先要回答的问题是什么是正宗的英语。
在这本书中所倡导的正宗的英语无疑指的是简明英语,特点是”direct, simple and clear”。
“简明英语是由查尔斯·凯·奥格登发明的只有少量单词的英语,他的书简明英语规则和语法的一般约定里对此有所描述。
奥格登说过:学习英语要七年,学习世界语要七个月,而学习简明英语只要七周。简明英语用于公司在国际上使用的书籍,短期内对学生进行基本英语教学。
奥格登不使用重复意义的单词,而且需要所有国家都适用这些单词。他利用大规模的测试和调整来得到这些词汇。在语法方面,他也做了简化,但是保留了英语通常的用法。”
在后面的发展中,简明英语在商务英语和法律英语上有了长足发展。简明英语无疑很适合用在商业上;而法律英语为了保证条款的确定性和权威性,一般冗长复杂,如一个含义要用两个甚至三个同义词来表示,在现在重视效率的社会渐渐向简明方向发展不足为奇。
但是这里我们要清楚一个语言是在不断成长和变化的`,中古英语和现代英语自然是有诸多不同,而且每个人的风格也不同。在我看来简明英语的诸多规则只能算作是一种风格,一种在近代社会被提倡的风格。而我们在翻译或者写作时应依具体文本的需求和受众的需求适用不同的风格,而不是倡导每种文本都用一个风格。口语和书面语明显不同,书面语中,用途不同时风格也应做相应的改变。
比如文学和非文学就有很多区别,文学讲究陌生化,要得就是一种朦胧的,”transparent”的感觉,才能让自己的文字更引人遐想有更多解释空间,而非文学为了交流方便,自然不会太晦涩难懂。非文学中又可以分很多类,商务性文本、法律性文本、政治性文本。比如政治性文本,你的翻译是为了让英语国家的人明白,就要模仿英语国家中的政治性文本的写法。但翻译这种文本的一个困境是:译者害怕丢失一个词就丢失了一个意义,不敢随意添加修改,所以偏向直译。其实也是很无奈。
一个语言中什么说法能不能用要取决于大多数人是怎么说的,因为你的目的是让大多数受众明白。比如clinch现在虽然被认为是不符合语法,但有些时代中因为大家都这么说,所以当时是可以接受的。所以这种情况下,”non native speaker” 就很吃亏,因为没有大环境让你了解其他人都在怎么说。
我认为在这里,中式英语中最应该摒弃的无疑是you can you up这类说法。当然这个是有点太low了,相信有点英文素养的人都不会犯。接下来要摒弃的就是不常见说法,也就是本书中part one所强调要纠正的。然后对于part two中少用名词多用动词、少用被动多用主动这类型风格类的倾向,我认为就要依文本需求和受众需求来定了,如果一个文本十分正式,翻译的很直白自然也是不合适的。
英语读书笔记 篇2
They are in sharp contrast to the suspicion, deception and intrigue in the city. The old boatman ferries people by the stream for many years, but he refuses to accept any reward from others. He can't help but buy some tea, grass and tobacco and take them with him, ready to give them to those who need them on the way. This is the scenery and people described for us in the first chapter of border town. What kind of pure land is this? It's a holy land without any pollution! Where can we find such beautiful scenery and such simple villagers?
Maybe it can only be found in the border town. Obviously, the author creates such an excellent literary work with infinite love and praise for Xiangxi, which brings us the enjoyment of beauty and adds a pure land to our soul.
英语读书笔记 篇3
As the old saying goes, "In a book, there is a house of gold, and in a book, there is a beauty like a jade." Goethe also said, "Reading a good book is like talking to a noble person." Using a book as a friend can increase wisdom and cultivate character; Accompanying books often can cultivate morality and deepen thinking.
I have a lot of books in my family, and it was they that helped me grow up. I read "How Steel is Tempered" by Soviet writer Ostrovsky as early as the third and fourth grades of elementary school. The protagonist Paul Kochagin"s indomitable spirit deeply moved me and made me strive for strength. I can"t forget how we spent the more than fifty days before the high school entrance examination. We were like a snail weighing a thousand pounds, but the encouragement and expectations of teachers and parents turned into a heavy mountain of test papers and homework pressing on us. It"s Paul, his spirit supports me!
After entering junior high school, my temperament changed greatly, becoming irritable and sentimental. So, after every argument with my parents and little sister, naturally... how many times have I slept on a pillow soaked in tears; How many times have I dreamt back in the middle of the night feeling lonely and helpless... Later, when I read the good book "Education of Love", I cried again and deeply regretted what I had done before. I deeply understand that there is not only thick blood flowing between parents and children, but also the innate natural affection. I also experience the love between teachers and students, the love between father and son, and the friendship between friends. So, the previous irritability and sentimentality instantly dissipated. Love is in everyone"s heart, and it spreads throughout every corner of the world.
I think the one thing that may have influenced my life is the American author"s "The Secret of Hill"s House". Perhaps it is not a famous book, but it is definitely a good book. For example, "What are the rules for distinguishing right from wrong?" The frog"s answer was concise and clear: "If what you do will harm someone, it is a bad thing." It teaches us to understand life, the value of ourselves and others. Happiness comes from helping each other in times of crisis, and in times of crisis, the first thing to think of should be truly valuable... Talents are truly valuable, and things are not. "This book is undoubtedly a great enlightenment for young people to embark on their journey of life.
It is this book that teaches me knowledge, motivates me to progress, and accompanies my growth. Book, our forever friend!

I have got a lot of interesting scientific knowledge from the books of National Geographic Reading Expeditions, some of which are about life, physics. I really can’t help losing myself in the colorful pictures and clear words in the books. After reading the books, I have been considering a question: What if we lived without science? Great changes have taken place in the world with the help of science. In the past, life was nasty, brutish and short. It is hard to imagine how our forefathers could do without so many conveniences that modern science brings about. Back then, only a small group of people enjoyed the very few forts. But the majority of people didn’t even have sufficient food, let along their privilege to be educated. Anyway, it is science that changes the world and makes people’s life better and better, although it also leads to some bad aspects at the same time.
