翻译时为了避免产生机械对等但风格上不可接受的句子,美国翻译理论家尤金.奈达在《翻译理论与实践》一书中论述了七个核心句,本文将其概括为三类基本句型:1.主语+谓语;2.主语+谓语+宾语;3.主语+系动词+表语。运用核心句进行翻译的过程可概括为:1)分析出原语句子的核心句;2)翻译核心句;3)重组翻译的核心句。最后本文举例论证了核心句在汉英句子翻译中的适用性。 In order to avoid mechanical equivalent but unacceptable sentences in translation, American translation theorist Eugene Nida discussed seven core sentences in his book, Translation Theory and Practice, which is summarized in three basic categories Sentence pattern: 1. subject + predicate; 2. subject + predicate + object; 3. subject + system verb + form. The process of using the core sentence for translation can be summarized as follows: 1) analyzing the core sentence of the original sentence; 2) translating the core sentence; and 3) reorganizing the translated core sentence. Finally, this article demonstrates the applicability of the core sentence in the Chinese-English sentence translation.
