大家好! 英文中职位、头衔的翻译应该准确、贴切,但却往往被忽视,翻译不当可能会对某人不尊敬或有意想不到的后果,高达97%以上的英语学习者却不注意,笔者认为,有必要在这里提出来,供大家参考。 我国正职头衔通常以“总……”,“***……”,“……长”,“……***”,“主任”等,一般用chief, general, head, president, chairman, director, commissioner, commander, executive, senior等词。请参考以下: 1.用chief表达: 总司令/总指挥-Commander-in-Chief 总编辑-Editor-in-Chief 总参谋长-Chief of General Staff 总工程师-Chief Engineer 总会计师-Chief Account 总建筑师-Chief Architect 图书馆馆长-Chief Librarian 总裁判-Chief Referee ***法官/审判长-Chief Judge 检察长-Chief Procurator(也可Procurator-general) ***记者-Chief Correspondent ***谈判代表-Chief Negotiator 司/厅/局/处/科长-Chief/Head of the Department/Bureau/Division/Section 县/区/乡/镇长-County/District/Township/Town Chief/Head 2. 用general表达: ***-General Secretary 秘书长-Secretary-general 审计长-Auditor-general 总领事-Consul-general 总监-Inspector-general/Chief Inspector 3.用head表达 总教练-Head Coach 总厨-Head Chef 护士长-Head Nurse 村长-Village Head 列车长-Head of a train crew 代表团团长-Head of a delegation 4.用president表达 中国科学院院长-President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ***人民法院-President of the Higher People’s Court 特别法庭庭长-President of a special court 北京大学校长-President of Beijing University 中国人民银行行长-President/Governor of the Chinese People’s Bank 协会/学会/理事会会长-President of an association/society/council 5.用chairman表达 ******会委员长-NPC Chairman 政协***-CPPCC Chairman 中央军事委员会***-Chairman of the Central Military Commission 政党***-Chairman of a political party(注:***应该用president) 公司董事长-Chairman of the Board of Directors 大学系主任-Chairman/Dean/Head of a department 6.用director表达 大多的“主任”一词表达采用该词 亚洲司司长-Director of the department of Asian Affairs 人民日报社社长-Director of the People’s Daily 编译局局长-Director of the Compilation and Translation Bureau ***所长-Director of an Research Institute 博物馆馆长-Director of a Museum 医院院长-Director/President of a hospital 美国学中心主任-Director of the American Studies Center 7.用commissioner表达 行/公署专员-commissioner 自治州州长-commissioner ***局局长-Police Commissioner 希望大家在学习和实践应用中多多留意和揣摩,把英语锤炼的越精炼越好,不要抱着只要双方能听得懂就可以了这种想法,这样的话对于英语的提高没有好处,笔者认为这就是普通的读、写、听、说和翻译的本质区别所在。 笔者出于实践翻译工作中的积累和感悟,于是执笔写了以上内容,希望对大家有帮助。 青岛寂寞高手拜会
