内容讲解

证明文本的语言特点和翻译

本章所指的证明文本,泛指各种用于证明工作经历、身份、学历经济状况、身体状况等事项或事件的真实性和有效性的文书,证明文本属于法律文本的范畴,着眼于现实世界,以事实性为基础,具有客观性、信息性等特点。证件文本翻译旨在通过译文话语对事实进行陈述或确认,因此要求简洁连贯、客观准确、用词专业。

一、中英文证明文本的文体特点

法律文本是具有法律规章意义的文本,如商务法律条文、合同、协议书、技术保证书信用证等,根据文本类型理论,证明文本属于信息类文本,该类文本是对客观事件的写实性描述,其语言往往不带任何个人色彩,经常用普通的搭配、正常的句型、传统的习语和比喻等,这类文本概括起来,有以下特点:

(1)条理性。要求条理十分清晰,这里的条理不仅是指逻辑上的而且是指语言体式上的,该类文本不求铺叙但求明晰;不求修饰,但求达意。其句式结构往往大同小异,目的也是求行文的条理性。

(2)纪实性。根据证书的目的,必须言而有实,即“纪实”,此类文本一般都很简洁,也有很多程式化的语句。

(3)规范性。要求用词规范,符合约定俗成的涵义,一般不允许文字上的随意性。

证明文本文件属于庄重文体,具有用词专业庄重、表达严谨精炼等特点。证明文件的翻译不仅要实现语言之间的转换,而且要熟悉该证件涉及的领域,具备相关的专业认识,运用不同的专业词汇。例如:

房产证(Property Ownership Certificate);

无犯罪记录证明(Certificate of No Criminal Conviction);

原产地证明(Certificate of Origin);

未再加工证明(Certificate of Non-Manipulation);

作准证书(Authentic Instrument)[1]

银行存款证明(Bank Savings Statement)等。

二、主要证明文件的翻译

1.公证书的翻译

公证书(Notarial Certificate)是国家公证机关根据当事人的申请,依照法定程序,对其法律行为及其有法律意义的文件、事实,证明其真实性、合法性的文书。涉外公证书是一种法律文书,其翻译属于应用翻译或实用翻译的范畴,以传递信息为主要目的,同时又注重信息传递的效果。翻译的目的非常明确,即,使公证书在使用国起到同样的法律效力。在公证过程中,根据需要或当事人要求,公证有时要附外文译文,而译文质量好坏是决定公证书效力的一个重要条件。

根据司法部颁发的《公证程序规则(试行)》,公证书中存在下列任何一项问题,即被视为无效:未按规定附外文译文的;公证员的中文姓名与外文译名不一致的;外文译文不正确,不规范或有错误的;外文译文未译成公证书使用国要求的相应文字的。在以上四个问题中,第三个问题是公证书翻译中最严重的错误,也使我们看到涉外公证书翻译的最低标准应该是“正确”“规范”。为了达到这些最低标准,公证书的翻译要注意以下几个方面:

(1)对术语的掌握要准确

像其他实用文体的翻译一样,涉外公证书翻译有其特定的术语,也就是说特定的“对等词”,在翻译时不能望文生义。术语可以保证其准确性和规范性。从标题上看,涉外公证书翻译工作量最多的往往是:

毕业证公证书(Notarization of Diploma);

学位证公证书(Notarization of Degree Certificate);

成绩单公证书(Notarization of Academic Transcription);

亲属关系公证书(Notarization of Family Relation);

刑事犯罪记录公证书(Notarization of No Record of Criminal Offense);

(涉外)收养公证书(Notarization of Adoption)等。

当然,在实践工作中,以上各分类标题都可笼统地译为Notarization 或Notarial Certificate。从内容上看,涉外公证书的“术语”有相当一部分属于法律词汇,如:产权证书(certificate of title)、住所(domicile)、抵押(mortgage)、委任书(power of attorney)、担保契约(Warranty Deed)等。再比如,在“婚前财产公证书”(prenuptial property notarization)的翻译中,就会出现“婚前财产”(premarital property)、“财产分割”(division of property)、“扶养费”(alimony)、“夫妻共同财产”(marital/community property)、“财产没收”(forfeiture of assets)、“监护权”(guardianship)等术语。这就要求译者对这些术语的理解要清楚,翻译时选词要准确,以免因概念性错误而产生纠纷,导致公证书无效。

(2)翻译时表达要流畅自然

对原文中的概念、句子理解后,译者的另外一个任务就是表达了。汉译英时译者常常会受到中文思维习惯的影响和干扰,翻译时译者太拘泥于中文原文的结构和表达方式,以为翻译时尽可能地保留中文原文的结构形式才能做到忠实于中文原文,以致在表达时常会出现一些佶屈聱牙的翻译腔,即“中式英语”。这类译文违反了译入语的行文习惯,露出非常明显的翻译痕迹。因此,在英译公证书时,要尽量排除中文思维习惯的影响,要多注意英汉两种语言行文的差异,使译文通顺自然,方便信息接收者理解所表达的信息。如:

例1:兹证明复印件与中文原本相符。

原译:This is to certify that the duplicate conforms to the original.

改译:This is to certify that the photocopy is a complete and true copy of the original document.

首先,影印件最好用photocopy,因为,尽管duplicate 也有“复制品”的意思,但duplicate 更多是指“副本”,如“营业执照副本”(duplicate of business license)。如果“影印件”也用duplicate,在营业执照公证中就会产生歧义。

其次,conform(conformity)的根意是:“comply (compliance) with standards,rules or laws”;correspond 的根意是:“have a close similarity; match or agree almost exactly”,因此,这两个词似乎都不太符合本句中的“相符”的愿意。

(3)翻译时行文要严谨、脉络要清晰

在公证书中有时为了体现法律文件的严谨精确,行文者为了避免含混不清或表述不明,在表述中多用各种附加语、修饰语、复杂而紧凑的句子结构和复合句,唯恐不详尽和不严密,有时甚至不惜繁文缛节。翻译时要清楚原公证书拟定者的用意,要注意借用译入语的各种语言手段,再现法律文体行文的严谨性。例如:

例2:兹证明王某某,男,一九六四年五月一日出生,与郝某某,女,一九六五年十月十九日出生,于一九九二年十月一日在内蒙古呼和浩特市民政局婚姻登记处登记结婚。

原译:This is to certify that Wang XX,who is male and was born on May 1,1964,and Hao,who is female and was born on October 19,1965,registered marriage on October 1,1992 at the registration office of Civil Affairs Department,Hohhot,Inner Mongolia.

原文很可能不止于证明“结过婚”,而Registered 一词为动词的过去式,表明的是登记结婚的事实的确发生过而不能证明现在的婚姻状况是在婚、再婚,还是离异(divorced)、丧偶(widowed)或分居(separated),未能满足法律语言在周密性、准确性方面的要求。

改译:This is to certify that Wang (male,born on May 1,1964) and Hao (female,born on October 19,1965) have been married since on October 1,1992 at the registration office of Civil Affairs Department,Hohhot,Inner Mongolia.

另外,根据需要,可以另起一行注明公证书用途,如:本公证书用于申请经济适用房(This notarial certificate is be used to apply for purchasing economical housing.)。

2.毕业(学位)证书的翻译

毕业(学位)证书是学校颁发给毕业生的正式官方文件,用语规范,简明扼要。毕业证书翻译件的格式和中文原件的格式应保持一致,这样会给人一目了然的感觉,即使是不懂英文的人看了也能明白其中的大概意思。毕业证书翻译的具体环节如下:

(1)标题

根据《中华人民共和国学位条例》(Regulations Concerning Academic Degrees in the People's Republic of China),“毕业证书”的标题一般译为Certificate of Graduation(较少使用Graduation Diploma;“结业证书”的英文是Certificate of Completion);“学位证书”一般在标题中要注明学位等级,即Certificate of The Bachelor's/Master's/ Doctor's Degree,标题应居中并且每个字母都大写或每个单词的首字母大写。

(2)正文

中文毕业证正文的开头是:“学生×××……”;英文的开头大体有三种形式:①“This is to certify that XXX…”;②“Let it be known that XXX...”;③“I hereby certify that XXX...”。前两种形式是以单位的身份进行证明,而第三种则是以个人(该校校长)的身份加以证明。通常情况下,在我国,单位和团体的证明效力要比个人的证明效力强,英文译文的开头最好采用前两种,且第一种形式又比第二种形式更正式一些。

正文中的中间部分“于××××年××月至××××年××月在本校××专业2/3/4/5年制本科/专科/脱产/全日制/业余/函授/夜大学习”,相应的英文翻译应该表述为“XX studied in the specialty of (2/3/4/5-year undergraduate/junior college courses full time/spare-time/correspondence/ evening university study) in this university/college from XX to XX”;“修完教学计划规定的全部课程,成绩合格”与“修业期满,成绩合格”所表达的意思基本一致,可以译为:A.satisfied all the requirements set by the syllabus; B.fulfilled all the courses/programs with satisfactory performance according to teaching plan; 或C.fulfilled all the requirements prescribed by the department。一般不把“成绩合格”直译成pass all the examinations,也不把“准予毕业”译为be allowed to graduate,因为那样显得不够专业,而译为be qualified to graduate 或is hereby granted graduation 则更为准确。

(3)落款

毕业证书的落款一般是学校的印鉴和校长(或学术委员会主席)的印章(或签名)及发证日期。此处具体谈一下几个问题。

① 校长的翻译

中小学的“校长”是Headmaster 或principal,而大学的“校长”则是President 或Chancellor,因此,把“校长”不加区别一律翻译成President 的做法是不妥的。

② 校名的翻译

中国的学校有正规的、非正规的、国立的、私立的等很多划分标准,不同的学校其校名的英语翻译真可谓五花八门。正是由于学校类型众多,才导致校名的翻译难度加大。一般的处理方法是“从俗”:直接采用该校的英文网站上出现或学校章程中规定的英文校名。值得一提的是,目前一些知名大学规模不断扩大,相继建立了分校和多个校区。“分校”和“校区”的翻译方法大致有以下四种:第一种是“学校名称+逗号+地名”,第二种是“学校名称+at/in+地名”;第三种是“学校名称+地名+Branch”;第四种是“学校名称+地名+Campus”。比如:加州大学伯克利分校(University of California,Berkeley)、哈尔滨工业大学威海分校(Harbin Institute of Technology,Weihai)、纽约州立理工大学布法罗分校(SUNY Institute of Technology at Buffalo)、华中科技大学武昌分校(Huazhong University of Science and Technology Wuchang Branch)、中山大学珠海校区(Sun Yat-sen University Zhuhai Campus)等。

3.出生证明的翻译

出生证明是指公证机关应当事人的申请,依法证明当事人的出生日期、出生地点和生父生母等法律事实的真实性、合法性而出具的证明文书。

例3:《出生医学证明》根据《中华人民共和国母婴保健法》制定,是在中华人民共和国境内出生人口的法定医学证明;由新生儿父母或监护人妥善保管,不得出卖、转让出借和私自涂改;申报出生登记时必须出示此证明。

原译:The “Medical Certificate of Birth” is formulated according to “The law of the People's Republic of China on Maternal and Infant Health Care”.It is a legal medical certificate of people born in the People's Republic of China.It is taken care of by the Newborn baby's father and mother or guardian.Can not be sold,lent or altered in private.And it is referred to upon civil registration.

原译来自真实文件,实在不忍卒读,现改译如下。

改译:Under the Maternal and Infant Health Care Law of the People's Republic of China,the “Medical Certificate of Birth” is made and used as a legal medical document for people born in the People's Republic of China.The newborn's parent(s) or guardian shall keep the Certificate secure and may not sell,transfer,lease,lend or alter it.And it shall be presented when reporting the birth registration.

例4:兹证明李平,男,汉族,于1959年5月在河南省陕县出生。李平的父亲李大炎是中学教师,于1992年去世。李平的母亲张玉英是退休工人。

译文:This is to certify that Mr.Li Ping,male,ethnic Han,was born in May,1959 in Shanxian County,Henan Province.His father,Li Dayan,who had been a middle school teacher,was deceased in 1992.His Mother,Zhang Yuying,is a retired worker.

4.收入证明

收入证明,是人们在日常生产生活经营活动中,所需要的对经济收入的一种证明,一般在办理出国签证住房贷款信用卡等会被要求由当事人单位出具的对经济收入的证明。收入证明翻译用途:出国签证财产证明、办理信用卡,同时往往还需要翻译的有在职证明、纳税证明、银行存款证明等。

例5:兹证明×××先生,身份证号码:××××,自2010年起至今在××(集团)有限公司工作,现任集团总工程师、设计管理中心总经理。其近五年的工资收入及其他经济补贴情况如下(单位:元)。特此证明!

译文:This is to certify that Mr.XXX (ID No.:XXXX) has been employed by ×× Group,since 2010 and now serves as Group's Chief Engineer and General Manager of Design Management Center.According to records of personal income kept by the financial department of the Group,the details of his salaries and other compensations during this period are listed as follows (RMB yuan).

在收入证明或合同中,为了体现庄重严谨性,数字(金额)经常是把阿拉伯数字和英语数词连用:先用数词表示,其后在括号内用阿拉伯数字表示,便于认读,比如:肆拾贰万伍仟陆佰元整(Four Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand Six Hundred US Dollars Only(US $425,600);也可以先用阿拉伯数字,然后在括号内用英语数词表示,比如:“人民币捌仟伍佰伍拾元整(RMB ¥8 550(say Eight Thousand Five hundred and Fifty yuan Only)”。

5.户口本的翻译

户口本(Household Register)是由民政部颁发的一种证明身份和家庭成员关系的证明文件。在翻译户口本时,要注意以下概念的正确表述:

(1)户别和户号。户别(Type of Household)指的是集体户口(Corporate,非collective)、农业户口(Agricultural)、非农业户口(Non-agricultural)等。有的户口簿“户别”不注明“农业”或“非农业”,直接就是“家庭户”或“集体户”,可译为Household of a Family 或Household of a Corporate。户号则译为Household Number。还有一种极具中国特色、比正规户口本简略些的户口证明,叫“集体户口常住人口登记卡”,建议译为Registry of De Jure Population in Corporate Household。

(2)户主或与户主关系。若系户主本人,直接译为Householder himself/herself。与户主关系的英文表述是Relation to。如果是户主的父母、配偶、兄弟姐妹等,直接译为Father/Mother/Husband/Wife/Brother/Sister,不必添加Householder's,也无需添加first、second 等序数词来表示长子/女、次子/女。值得注意的是,如果是儿媳、女婿,则最好用Son's wife、Daughter's husband 来代替Son-in-law、Daughter-in-law,因为后者容易被误解成“养子女”或“继子女”。

(3)民族或民族成分。民族或民族成分应该用ethnicity 或ethnic group,不可用Nationality(国别)。

(4)籍贯。原籍的英文是native origin(native place 的意思是“故乡”)。所谓“籍贯”系指父亲一辈的故乡,含义其实类似于“祖籍”,因此ancestral native place 较为合适。

(5)服务处所。直接译为Employer 即可,不要硬译为Service Place。

(6)登记事项变更和更正记载。按照英文思维,直接译为Updates of Member's Information 即可。
