1。 Introduction
It is acknowledged that when doing translation one cannot translate word for word, or sentence by sentence。 Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on。 Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition。 Translators apply it in order to make their works more coherent and understandable。
According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means “leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them。” Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original texts。 What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language。 论文网
Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English。 Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect。 They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this aspect in Chinese。 Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, and concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese。 In this case, translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and better understood。 The following two paragraphs analyze the reason why it is so widely used。
First of all, Chinese expressions are much briefer than those of English。 So ellipsis as part of a special and inseparable translation method is widely used in English-Chinese translation。 Generally speaking, a book or a passage which describes the same content in English may be longer in length than that in Chinese, because both English and Chinese have their own characteristics, such as being succinct in language, being abundant in words, being brief in sentences, as well as being flexible in structure。 Therefore, brevity brings convenience to our daily communication and usage。 英汉翻译中省略技巧的综述研究:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_86913.html
