隨著科技的進(jìn)步,越來(lái)越多的翻譯軟件應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。如今翻譯工具形形色色,讓很多不精通外語(yǔ)的人士享受到了方便快捷的翻譯服務(wù)。與此同時(shí),人們不免要問(wèn) :有朝一日,軟件翻譯能否取代人工翻譯?
以下選取了兩則新聞作為文本,將DeepL、Google翻譯和有道翻譯三個(gè)軟件的譯文與人工翻譯進(jìn)行比較。
首先,我們將中文新聞的英語(yǔ)譯文進(jìn)行比較。
例一原文:
第四屆數(shù)字中國(guó)建設(shè)峰會(huì)4月25日在福建省福州市開(kāi)幕,展示了中國(guó)信息領(lǐng)域的突破和數(shù)字轉(zhuǎn)型的創(chuàng)新。本屆峰會(huì)以“激發(fā)數(shù)據(jù)要素新動(dòng)能,開(kāi)啟數(shù)字中國(guó)新征程”為主題,旨在為數(shù)字技術(shù)交流和產(chǎn)業(yè)合作提供平臺(tái)。本屆峰會(huì)線上線下同步進(jìn)行,主要內(nèi)容包括主論壇、分論壇、成果展覽會(huì)、創(chuàng)新大賽等7個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)。
人工翻譯譯文:

機(jī)器翻譯的大部分表達(dá)都通順流暢,符合英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言習(xí)慣和表達(dá)方式,但是有關(guān)“數(shù)字中國(guó)建設(shè)峰會(huì)”、“動(dòng)能”等翻譯出現(xiàn)了直譯的現(xiàn)象,容易引起歧義。而人工翻譯針對(duì)目的語(yǔ)受眾,譯文采用了增譯法,更準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)出原文所包含的意義,這一點(diǎn)機(jī)器翻譯尚未能做到。
接下來(lái),我們看看英語(yǔ)新聞的中文譯文比較。
例二原文:
China's Ministry of Education has called for appropriate school scheduling to ensure that students at the compulsory education stage engage in one hour of physical activity both during and after school hours every day. Physical education classes and campus exercise activities should not be squeezed out in favor of other programs, the ministry said in a circular, which asked schools to offer guidance on PE homework and offer quality exercise resources.
人工翻譯譯文:
教育部日前發(fā)布通知,要求學(xué)校做出適當(dāng)安排,著力保障中小學(xué)生每天校內(nèi)、校外各1小時(shí)體育活動(dòng)時(shí)間?!锻ㄖ芬?,要確保不以任何理由擠占體育課程和學(xué)生校園體育活動(dòng)。學(xué)校要對(duì)體育作業(yè)加強(qiáng)指導(dǎo),提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的鍛煉資源。
DeepL譯文:
中國(guó)教育部呼吁學(xué)校適當(dāng)安排時(shí)間,確保義務(wù)教育階段的學(xué)生每天在課間和課后都有一小時(shí)的體育活動(dòng)。教育部在一份通知中說(shuō),體育課和校園鍛煉活動(dòng)不應(yīng)該因?yàn)槠渌?xiàng)目而被擠掉,該通知要求學(xué)校提供體育作業(yè)指導(dǎo),并提供高質(zhì)量的鍛煉資源。
Google翻譯譯文:
中國(guó)教育部已要求適當(dāng)?shù)膶W(xué)校時(shí)間表,以確保處于義務(wù)教育階段的學(xué)生每天在上學(xué)期間和下課后從事一小時(shí)的體育鍛煉。衛(wèi)生部在一份通函中說(shuō),體育課和校園鍛煉活動(dòng)不應(yīng)被壓榨,以支持其他計(jì)劃,該通告要求學(xué)校提供有關(guān)體育課作業(yè)的指導(dǎo)并提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的鍛煉資源。
有道翻譯譯文:
中國(guó)教育部呼吁適當(dāng)?shù)膶W(xué)校安排,以確保義務(wù)教育階段的學(xué)生每天在課內(nèi)和課外有一小時(shí)的體育活動(dòng)。教育部在一份通知中表示,不應(yīng)擠占體育課和校園鍛煉活動(dòng),以取代其他項(xiàng)目。該通知要求學(xué)校對(duì)體育作業(yè)進(jìn)行指導(dǎo),并提供高質(zhì)量的鍛煉資源。
DeepL的譯文與其他軟件相比,可讀性更高;而Google翻譯和有道翻譯出現(xiàn)明顯錯(cuò)譯,這會(huì)給讀者帶來(lái)誤導(dǎo)。人工譯文運(yùn)用了省譯法和轉(zhuǎn)換法,避免譯文累贅,使譯文地道可讀。
經(jīng)過(guò)比較不難發(fā)現(xiàn),以上翻譯軟件均有可圈可點(diǎn)之處,譯文較為完整,有值得我們借鑒的地方。翻譯軟件主要優(yōu)點(diǎn)在于能大幅度節(jié)省使用者的翻譯時(shí)間,為我們提供了諸多便利,但是,軟件翻譯的譯文往往欠缺流暢,不夠準(zhǔn)確,暫時(shí)還無(wú)法取代人工翻譯,尤其在文學(xué)翻譯領(lǐng)域。作為譯員,我們可以借助翻譯軟件提高工作效率,同時(shí)要根據(jù)文本風(fēng)格、類(lèi)型和譯文目的等要素對(duì)譯文進(jìn)行相應(yīng)的調(diào)整,從而高效、高質(zhì)量地完成翻譯工作。
