颜色词语的翻译,大致有以下四种方法:
(一)直译。基本按照原文的词语形式来翻译。如: White House red figure yellow pages
(二)改换颜色词。根据译入语(英汉翻译时,就是汉语了)的习惯,用读者熟悉的颜色词来改变原文的颜色词。如: black tea
black and blue
(三)原文中无颜色词,译文中根据汉语的表达习惯,可以增加适当的颜色词。如 He didn't try in vain. Her eyes became moist.
(四)意译。有些颜色词语因为是习惯用法,有引申意义,这时,可以根据原文的意思,完全忽略原文的颜色词,而用译入语的适当词语来翻译。如: love pea pink slip a green hand
