法律翻译之语序调换

Lawspirit法律翻译社版权所有,未经书面同意,不得以任何形式复制和转载

由于译文语序和原文语序并不完全一致,所以在将原文翻译成译文时,必须调整一些语序,以使译文符合译文语言的表达习惯。在调整语序时,有时必须把在原文中后面表达的词放在译文中前面表达,有时要把原文中前面表达的词放在译文中后面表达。在调换位置时并没有特别的规律,原文中的词在译文中既可以放在前面,也可以放在后面,甚至可以放在中间。这完全视上下文的需要。译者在处理词的位置时完全可以自行斟酌处理。

1、The Parties hereby agree to establish the Company promptly after the Effective Date in accordance with the EJV Law, the EJV Implementing Regulations, other Applicable Laws, and the provisions of this Contract.

参考译文:双方特此同意在本合同生效后依照合资企业法、合资企业法实施条例、其他相关法律以及本合同的条款及时成立合营公司。

解释:尽管原文中“in accordance with the EJV Law, the EJV Implementing Regulations, other Applicable Laws, and the provisions of this Contract.”等词作为状语被放在后面,但在译文中按照中文的习惯被放在了谓语的前面。

2、Neither Party shall have any liability to the Company except to the extent of its agreed capital contributions. The Company shall be liable to its creditors to the extent of its assets.

参考译文:任何一方仅以其出资额为限对合营公司承担责任。合营公司应以其资产对其债权人承担责任。

解释:原文中的“except to the extent of its agreed capital contributions”和“to the extent of its assets”在句子后面,但在译文中,它们的对应中文翻译却在句子中间。

3、The Business Plan of the Company shall be established by the Board in view of actual market conditions, expected sales volumes, the employees' ability to absorb new technology and any other factors considered important by the Board.

参考译文:合营公司的业务计划由董事会在考虑市场实际情况、预计的产品销售额、雇员吸收新技术的能力以及其他董事会认为重要的因素后确定。

解释:原文中“in view of actual market conditions, expected sales volumes, the employees' ability to absorb new technology and any other factors considered important by the Board.”等词被放在句子的后面,而在译文中,却被放在了句子的中间。

4、A Party may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (each a "transfer") all or any part of its interest in the registered capital of the Company to any third party only with the prior written consent of the other Party, the approval of the Board and the approval of the Examination and Approval Authority.

参考译文:只有在另一方事先书面同意、经董事会一致通过、并经审批机关批准后,一方才可向第三方出售、转让或以其他方式处置(合称“转让”)其对注册资本享有的全部或部分权益。

解释:在原文中,“with the prior written consent of the other Party, the approval of the Board and the approval of the Examination and Approval Authority”等词和短语作为状语被放在了句子的后面,但在译文中,同样作为状语,被按照中文的表达习惯放在了句子的前面。

5、If a Party (the "Assigning Party") proposes to transfer all or any part of its interest in the registered capital of the Company to a third party, the other Party shall have a pre-emptive right to purchase such interest at the price offered to the third party.

参考译文:如果一方(“转让方”)拟将其在合营公司注册资本的部分或全部转让给第三方,另一方有以与转让方向第三方提出的同等价格优先购买的权利。

解释:原文中的“a pre-emptive right to purchase such interest at the price offered to the third party”这个短句在译文中完全被译者按照中文的表达习惯调换了位置。但是,这样却通顺了多,符合了中国人的表达习惯。
