There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and -- poof! – I became invisible, absent from the conversation. The park was filled with people talking on their cell phone. They were passing other people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pet their puppies. Evidently, the electronic voice is preferable to human contact.”这一段生动形象的描述之后, 听者便可在头脑中勾画这样一幅图景:自己正与一位朋友园中散布、闲谈。
突然,谈话被朋友的手机打断。
然后放眼四周,发现到处是只顾自己拿着手机讲话而无暇互相交流的人们。
这样通过现实化、形象化的方法将一篇反映复杂的描写转化成生活中一个再熟悉不过的镜头摄入了头脑。
然后,译员再用译语将眼前这幅图景按照自已的方式描述出来即可。
这样不仅记忆深刻、全面,而且译员也不会陷入机械的“找词翻译”的误区。
Ⅳ.Memory- On timePeople have different ideas about what exactly is being on time and being late. These ideas also differ from time to time, and from country to country. For example, in the United States, it is very important to be on time for almost all occasions. The only time it is socially acceptable to be late is when you go to a friend’s party. A person usually tries to arrive about 5 minutes after the invitation time, so that the host would have a little extra time to prepare for the guests. This is called being “fashionably late.” Any time later than that is considered impolite, because it keeps the host and other guests waiting.Being on time goes both ways. One should also not arrive early for a friend’s party, because it would rush the host. However, when going to a doctor’s appointment, it is usually good to arrive earlier than the appointment because there are usually some forms that need to be filled out by the patient.Ⅴ.Memory- On time-Memory- 待客之道中国人的待客规则，一是要热情，态度上不能慢待，别人会用你的态度判定你的心意。
