it)的结构,也可以说是已知信息与新信息相互作用从而构成信息单位的结构。对于听话者来说,有些信息内容是已知的,即已知信息(Given);有些则是未知的,即新信息(New)。这些荷载已知的、新的信息的语言单位在语言的线性排列屮不是任意的,其分布能体现不同的交际价值。在话语/语篇交际屮,人们传递信息的顺序是从已知到未知,即将新的信息内容置于句末的语调群核心,而已知信息的交际价值较小,大多放到句子的前面。句末是信息中心的中性位置。\n正由于此,人们在说话或写作中倾向于将新的或比较重要的内容放在句子的末尾。这就是人们在话语交际中遵循的“尾重原则”。“尾重原则”是对说话者和作者运用语言而言。对于交际对象即听者或读者来说,语句的末尾部分赋予听者或读者较高的注意价值。语言学家称其为“无标记焦点”(又称“末尾焦点(end・focus)”)。在话语使用中,处于句子末尾的内容往往得到一定强调或突出,或借助一定语调能唤起听或读者的某种情感,或表达说话者的某种态度,产生某种特定的效果。主位结构与信息分布具有紧密的联系,主位所载的信息往往是已知信息。但是,由于主位与已知信息、述位与新信息并没有绝对的对应关系,因而我们不能把语言成分出现的前后顺序看作研究信息分布的唯一标准。但是在实际翻译屮,很多人不注意这些问题,从而使译文与原文的信息侧重点发生了改变。以下例子中,“T”表示主位,“R”表示述位。在实际翻译屮,主位部分出现的问题。(1)原文:Giu:What'sthatawfulnoiseupstairs?Beth:Itwokemeupatfiveo'clockinthemorning.译文:吉尔:楼上是什么声音那么吵啊?贝丝:我早上五点就被吵醒了。解析:首先,对贝丝的话进行主位、述位分析:Beth:It(T)[Given]//wokemeupatfiveo'clockinthemorning(R)[New].在原文中,处于句首的是单项主位(simpletheme),即上文已经出现过的已知信息“it(noise声音)”,而述位部分是新信息。译文:贝丝:我(T)〃早上五点就被(它)[已知信息]吵醒了。在译文中,原文单项主位已知信息“它”被放到句子后面述位部分,得到了进一步的强调,这与原文的语意侧重点明显不同。因此,在翻译的时候最好根据原文把信息值最低的已知信息“it(noise声音)”放在句子主位的位置,作为话题的出发点。改译如下:改译:贝丝:早上五点就把我吵醒了。(分析:(它)仃)[已知信息]//早上五点就把我吵醒了(R)[新信息]。)(2)原文:Kevin:DoyoustillhavethosedocumentsIemailedyoufromChina?David:TheonesIneverread.Yes,Ihavethem.译文:凯文:我从中国用电子邮件寄给你的那些文件,你还留着吗?大卫:我一直没读那些。有啊,我留着呢。解析:首先,对大卫的原话进行主位、述位分析:David:Theones(T)[Given]//Ineverread(R)[New].Yes,Ihavethem.在原文中,处于句首的是有标记性单项主位(markedsimpletheme),即上文已经出现过的已知信息atheones(thosedocuments那些文件)”,而述位中置于句尾焦点(end-focus)的是新信息“neverread(—直没读)”。译文:大卫:我(T)//一直没读那些[已知信息]。有啊,我留着呢。在译文中,“那些”被放到句尾重心的位置,被当作是新信息起到了强调作用,会让读者产生误解,以为只有没读的文件还留着,而读过的文件可能就没有留下来。[点评:分析有一定道理,原译确实在衔接上不自然,有歧义]因此,在翻译的时候,应该把原文单项主位,即信息值最低的已知信息“theones(thosedocuments那些文件)”放到主位的位置,作为话题的出发点,把新信息“一直没读”放到句尾重心来加以强调。因此,改译如下:\n改译:大卫:那些啊,我一直没读。有啊,我留着呢。(分析:大卫:那些啊[己知信息]//我一直没读[新信息]。有啊,我留着呢。)可修订为:那些文件啊,我没看过。不过,我可留着呢。(1)她三天才来看我一次,你一天就来三次译文:Youcometoseemethreetimesaday,butsheonlycomesonceeverythreedays解析:首先,对原文进行分析:她三天才來看我一次仃),//你一天就来三次(R)o本句所含的信息有两个,所强调的应该是后面“你一天就来三次”,含有责怪你来的太多,而不是她来太少。译文:Youcometoseemethreetimesaday(T),//butsheonlycomesonceeverythreedays(R).而译文正好相反,把原文的主、述位正好弄反了,强调了她。众所周知,英文里转折词BUT后面才是新信息,是作者所要表达的真正意图。改译:Shecomestoseemeonlyeverythreedays,butyoudothreetimesaday.(分析:Shecomestoseemeonlyeverythreedays(T)zbutyoudothreetimesaday(R).)在实际翻译中,述位部分出现的问题。原文:B:Yoga,developedbytheancientsagesofIndia,isasystemofpersonaldevelopmentencompassingbody,mindandspiritthatdatesbackmorethan5000years・A:“瑜伽”从印度演化而来,那这个词是不是有特殊的含义呢?译文:A:Doestheword"Yoga"itselfcarryacertainspecialmeaning,withitsevolutionfromIndia?解析:首先,根据上下文,对原文进行分析:A:“瑜伽”从印度演化而来[已知信息],那这个词是不是有特殊的含义呢[新信息]?在原文中,根据上下文可以看出:瑜伽'从印度演化而来”是已知信息,其信息价值较低,因此不应该被放在句尾重心部分;而新信息是“是不是有特殊的含义”,其信息价值最高,通常情况下翻译后应该被放在句尾重心加以强调。译文:A:Doestheword"Yoga"itselfcarryacertainspecialmeaning[New],withitsevolutionfromIndia[Given]?在译文中,在译文中,主位和原文主位相一致。但述位部分出现了差异:瑜伽’从印度演化而來(withitsevolutionfromIndia)"被放到述位中末尾焦点的位置,当作是新信息起到了强调作用;相比之下,真正应该得到强调的新信息“是不是有特殊的含义(carryacertainspecialmeaning)"却放到了已知信息的前面。原文和译文的侧重点存在明显差异。因此,在翻译的时候,应该把信息值最低的已知信息“'瑜伽'从印度演化而来”提前,把新信息“是不是有特殊的含义”放到句尾重心来加以强调。因此,改译如下:改译:A:Doestheword"Yoga"withitsevolutionfromIndia[Given]carryacertainspecialmeaning[New]?修订为:Doestheword"Yoga",withitsevolutionfromIndia,carryacertainspecialmeaning[New]?原文:下刘姥姥听见这般咅乐,且又有了酒,越发喜的手舞足蹈起来。译文:Nowthemusic,ontopofthewine,setGrannyLiuwavingherarmsandbeatingtimewithherfeetforcheerdelight・解析:原文里刘姥姥是话题,“越发喜的手舞足蹈起来”是描述她髙兴的情形,属于新信息,给大家一种视图,脑海里内视她高兴的情形。有动态在里面。译文:Nowthemusic,ontopofthewine(T),//setGrannyLiu[Given]wavingherarmsandbeatingtimewithherfeetforcheerdelight(R).\n而译文里music成了话题,GrannyLiu成了间接宾语,没有了动态的感觉在内。改译:GrannyLiu,listeningtothebeautifulmusic,drinkingthedeliciouswine,delights[G?]towaveherarmsandbeattimewithherfeet.(分析:GrannyLiu,listeningtothebeaut讦ulmusic,drinkingthedeliciouswine(T),//delightstowaveherarmsandbeattimewithherfeet(R).)Anotherimportantdistinotionisthatbetween"unmarked"and"marked"ideationalthemes・Unmarkedideationalthemesare:subjectinadeclarative;finiteverbplussubjectinayes/noquestion;wh-elementinawh-question;lexicalverb(togetherwithyouorlet'sifpresent)inanimperative.Sometimesotherconstituentsare"promoted"tothethemeposition,formingmarkedideationalthemes・Themostcommontypeofmarkedideationalthemeistheadjunct(adverboradverbialclauseorsentencetomodifythemeaningoftheverb).Forinstanee:Unmarkedthemesindeclarativesentences(ideationaltheme=subject):No,Ithinkitisprettyeasy.Markedthemesindeclarativesentences(ideationalthemeHsubject)Andwhenyougetdownthereyoufindhehasn'tactuallygotany.Insidehimwasrisinganurgetodosomething,takesomeaction.Unmarkedthemesinyes/noquestions,wh-questionsandimperatives:Wouldyoulikeacupoftea?Butdon'tyouseeit'simpossibletogetthereintime?Nowthatyou'vedoneyourhomework,whynotgooutandplaywithyourfriends?Lookatthatfunnyman!Letmehavealook.6ConversationAnalysisConversationanalysis(CA)isanImportantbranchofdiscourseanalysis.Itistheanalysisofnaturalconversationinordertodiscoverwhatthelinguisticcharacteristicsofconversationareandhowconversationisusedinordinarylife.Itincludesthestudyofhowspeakersdecidewheretospeakduringaconversation,howtheutterancesoftwoormorespeakersarerelated,a
