IAnalysisontheSelectionofSubjectinChinese-EnglishTranslation--TaketheExampleofSelectedModernChineseEssaysbyZhanPeijiAThesisSubmittedinPartialFulfillmentoftheRequirementfortheB.A.DegreeinEnglishLanguageandLiteratureByAoXuetongSupervisor:ZhongXiaoAcademicTitle:LecturerNanhuCollege,JiaxingUniversity,ZhejiangProvince,P.R.C.Feb.24,2017I摘要翻译是两种语言间相互转换的语言活动。在汉译英中,我们面临的任务之一是选择合适的词做主语。然而,由于英汉语言间存在较大差异,我们在汉译英过程中选择主语并不容易。汉英主语在形式和构句方面存在差异,而且汉语注重话题而英语注重主语。本文从对这些差异的分析入手,通过对张培基《英译中国现代散文选》的学习以及本人自身的实践和总结,在汉译英主语选择方面提出了一些方法和建议。一、保留原文主语作译文主语,二、选择原文的其他句子成分作译文主语,三、在译文中增补主语,四、减少改变主语。进而得出结论。在汉译英选择主语时,我们应该现在英美人的思维方式上考虑,结合英语的语言习惯,充分理解原文,运用一些技巧选择合适的主语。关键词:汉译英;主语的选择;英汉主语的差异;张培基;英译中国现代散文选IIAbstractTranslationisalanguageactivityoftransformingbetweentwolanguages.IntheprocessofChinese-Englishtranslation,choosingthesuitablewordsassubjectsisoneofthetaskspeoplefacingwith.However,it'snoteasyforpeopletochoosesubjectsinChinese-EnglishtranslationbecauseofthedifferencesbetweenChineseandEnglish.ThesubjectsofChineseandEnglishhavedifferencesinformsandsentencestructure.Furthermore,Chineseistopic-prominentlanguageandEnglishissubject-prominentlanguage.Thisthesisbeginswiththesedifferences,putsupsomemethodsandadvisesabouthowtochooseasuitablesubjectsthroughlearningSelectedModernChineseEssaysbyZhangPeijiandtheauthorownpracticesandconclusion.First,keepingthesubjectsoftheoriginalsentences.Second,choosingotherconstituentsoftheoriginalsentences.Third,replenishingnewsubjectsforthetranslation.Fourth,reducingofchangingthesubjects.Andthen,thewritershowstheconclusionthatitshouldbeconsideredthemodeofthinkinginwesterncountries,combiningwiththeEnglishlanguagehabits,fullyunderstandingtheorigintext,andusesomeskillstochoosetheappropriatesubjects.Keywords:Chinese-EnglishTranslation;thechoiceofsubjects;thedifferencesofsubjectsinEnglishandChinese;ZhangPeiji;SelectedModernChineseEssaysIIIContentsAbstract........................................................................................................................II1.LiteratureReview...................................................................................................11.1ExistingResearchesonthisTopic......................................................................11.2Purposesandimportanceofthestudy..............................................................12.DifferencesbetweenChineseandEnglishSubjects..............................................22.1InForms..............................................................................................................22.2Topic-prominentLanguagevs.Subject-prominentLanguage.......................22.3InSentenceStructure.........................................................................................33.MethodsofChoosingtheSubjectsinChinese-EnglishTranslation....................33.1KeeptheSubjectsoftheOriginalSentences....................................................33.2ChooseotherconstituentsoftheOriginalSentences.......................................43.2.1ChoosetheObjects...
