White ducks have also become somewhat impatient. Some are sending out irritated quacks from the turbid waters of an urban creek. Some keep swimming leisurely and tirelessly like a slow boat. Some have their long necks submerged headfirst in the water while sticking up their webbed feet behind their tails and splashing them desperately so as to keep their balance. There is no knowing if they are searching for tiny bits of food from the bottom of the creek or just enjoying the chill of the deep water.
要点:
在处理多层定语句“有不洁的颜色的都市的河沟里传出它们焦急的叫声“是译者采用了后置定语来翻译,译为the turbid waters of an urban creek,
2,第二个多层定语句“那船一样的徐徐的划行“译者巧妙地按其功能处理为了方式状语
swimming leisurely and tirelessly like a slow boat
3,“不知是在寻找沟底的细微食物,还是贪那深深的水里的寒冷。“中的”不知…”=there is no knowing…,并且对于“寒冷”一词的处理也比较贴切。
综述:
汉语定语一般为前置,而且很少使用超过两层以上的多层定语,这是汉语的传统。在英语翻译语言的影响下,现代汉语的多层前置定语已经成为普遍现象。与汉语相比,英语名词常常有多层定语限制,这些定语或前置或后置,或前后合并使用。明白了这些汉英差异,做起翻译也会稍微得心应手。
