本次英汉翻译实践的文本节选自美国作家埃里克·韦纳(Eric Weiner)的《苏格拉底快车》(The Socrates Express)，该书通过日常生活的哲学思辨，引导读者走进哲学，更好生活。原文本不仅有哲学上的逻辑推理和思维引导，还有轻松的日常描写，句式结构和文风时有变化，如何在呈现原文特色的同时使读者充分理解内容成为译者面临的首要难题。泰特勒倡导以折中的方式平衡源语立场与目的语立场，本报告用泰特勒(Alexarlder Fraser Tytler)的翻译三原则作为指导框架，从内容忠实、风格一致、语言流畅三个方面逐次展开分析。

      内容忠实方面，原作日常用语较多，相比于专业术语，日常用语的词汇含义、语句关系更依赖具体语境，笔者通过词义引申、释义的技巧揭示不同语境下的具体内涵；用直译加上脚注策略翻译文化专有词、人名、书名等专有词汇，消除理解障碍；在不影响原作思想内容传递的基础上，做适当增译减译处理。还原原作风格和手法方面，笔者既从宏观上考虑文体特点，也以更具象的视角凸显原作者的个人写作方式，原作中比喻、排比、夸张等手法能在中文里实现同样的语言功能，笔者则主要通过直译表现其文本的艺术表达效果；添加语气助词来还原作者的口语化表达。对于语言流畅自然，笔者主要从中英文的不同特点入手，分析英文转化为中文时的要点，词性转换表现出中文的动态性，避免译文僵硬呆板；源语多插入语和简单句，叙事顺序较为随意，译文则通过句式调整、合译的方法保持中文的连贯性和推进性。

      本报告在泰特勒三原则的理念指引下，辅以多种具体的翻译方法开展实践与分析，思想内容的还原是泰特勒译论最重要的出发点，也是语言交流的最基本功能，笔者通过具体的理论阐释和翻译讨论，对翻译三原则进行了较为详细的梳理，不同翻译技巧的运用也在案例分析中得以体现，对以后的英汉翻译实践以及泰特勒三原则的相关研究提供了一定程度上的参考和借鉴。

      The source text of this translation practice is an excerpt from The Socrates Express. Through the thought recognitions of everyday life, American writer Eric Weiner aims to lead people live a better life with philosophy. Featuring logical deduction and philosophical thinking, and light-hearted descriptions of daily life, the book is varied in sentence structure and writing style, which poses the prime challenge for the translator to present smooth expressions while reproducing the original style. In accordance with Tytler’s translation perspective, the translator balances the orientations of the source language and the target language in an eclectic way. Guided by three principles of translation, the thesis proceeds the translation process from three aspects: be faithful to the original ideas, consistent in the original styles and fluent in expressions.

      In terms of the first aspect, the original text consists of much spoken English, whose lexical meanings and sentence relations depend more on contexts. The translator reveals the specific connotations by semantic extension and paraphrase. Footnotes are used for deep comprehension of terms including culture-loaded words and names of persons and places. Meanwhile, addition and omission are carefully applied to give a complete transcript of the source text. To present the same style and manner of the original, the translator pays attention to both the genre of the book and the personal characteristics of the writer. Rhetorical devices in the original such as simile, parallelism and hyperbole are also common in Chinese, so literal translation is adopted to reproduce the literary art. Besides, the addition of modal particles highlights the feature of colloquialism. Regarding the fluency and naturalness of the language, the translator starts with the key points based on the discrepancy between English and Chinese. The dynamic nature of Chinese is realized by conversion of parts of speech so that the target text can be more readable. Moreover, in order to retain the coherence of Chinese, translation techniques of syntactical readjustment and combination are used to deal with parenthesis and simple sentences.
