20世纪初,我国著名的翻译家严复在翻译《天演论》时就提出了“信、达、雅”之说,“信”的意思就是忠实、准确,是指译文要准确无误;“达”是指译文要通顺畅达,符合汉语的语法及用语习惯,没有语病;“雅”就是指译文要优美自然、生动形象,完美地表达原文的写作风格。笔者认为在这三者之中,“信”尤为重要,“达”与“雅”则是建立在“信”的基础之上,译者在翻译时应该遵循这一原则。 At the beginning of the 20th century, Yan Fu, a well-known translator in our country, put forward the idea of ​​“faith, attainment and elegance” when translating “Evolution and Ethics”. The meaning of “letter” is faithfulness and accuracy, meaning that the translation should be accurate “D ” refers to the translation should be smooth, in line with the Chinese grammar and language habits, no language disease; “Ya ” refers to the translation should be beautiful, vivid, perfect style of writing the original expression. The author believes that among the three, “letter ” is especially important. “D ” and “Ya ” are based on “letter ”, the translator should follow this in translation A principle.
