摘要:本文選取了世界著名小說《福爾摩斯探案集之恐怖谷》里的第一，二章節(jié)作為翻譯原文，其文體正式，語言純正，用詞準(zhǔn)確，是理想的翻譯練習(xí)材料。筆者在翻譯的過程中嚴(yán)格遵循“忠實(shí)”和“流暢”的原則。首先，在翻譯選詞方面仔細(xì)斟酌，選取更能體現(xiàn)原文作者意思的詞匯進(jìn)行翻譯；其次，在譯文句式方面，在直譯不通順的情況下巧妙運(yùn)用意譯技巧，使譯文句式更符合漢語的習(xí)慣表達(dá)以保證行文的連貫流暢。通過此次的翻譯練習(xí)，作者對小說等文學(xué)體裁作品的特點(diǎn)有了進(jìn)一步的了解，同時(shí)也懂得了不同體裁文章的翻譯策略、思路和翻譯方法各有不同，因此我們在翻譯實(shí)踐時(shí)必須先制定好正確的翻譯策略，只要這樣才能保證譯文的信、達(dá)、雅三面俱到。

Abstract:The world’s famous novel Collection of Holmes’s Detective Stories—The Valley of Fear is selected as the translating material for its formality in style, purity in language and accuracy in words. It’s an ideal material for translating. In the process of the interpretation, the author follows the principle of faithfulness and fluency. Firstly, when doing the translating work, the author cautiously weights and chooses his words in order to better embody the writer’s original intention. Secondly, in terms of the sentence structure in the version, when the literal translation is against the fluency principle, the author adopts the free translation skill to make sure the version’s sentence structure is in accordance with Chinese idiomatic expression and thus saves the version’s fluency. Through this translating practice, the writer forms a better understanding of the characteristics of literature works, and also learns that different stylistic works require different translating strategies, ideas and methods. Therefore, before beginning translating, we’d better work out a workable translating plan in order to assure the faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance of our translation.
