四、《儒林外史》汉英平行语料库的创建

《儒林外史》汉英平行语料库为句对齐平行语料库,该平行语料库汉语原文为人民文学出版社版本,英语译文为杨宪益、戴乃迭夫妇翻译的The Scholars.整个平行语料库的建设包括句对齐、词语标注及检索平行语料获得语词典型翻译的过程。

4. 1 句对齐

平行语料库是指具有语言间翻译对应关系的语料库,其中的原文与译文之间对应层次可分为语篇层次、段落层次、句子层次及词汇层次四种。其中应用最为广泛的是句子层次平行语料库。句子作为一个完整的语义、语法单位,其上下文语境相对丰富、而且基本自足,是比较理想的层次。并且在进行对齐操作时,工作量也不大,因而目前大多数平行语料库基本上是句子层次的,对翻译研究、翻译教学及基于平行语料库的机器翻译发挥十分重要的作用。

目前,平行语料对齐工具主要分为两种:一种是翻译软件自带的语料对齐程序,如国外SDL TRADOS中的WinAlign程序;Déjà Vu自带的Alignment Wizard程序; Wordfast中的Wordfast Aligner;国内雅信CAT中YXCAM下的快速建库平台;雪人CAT的双语对齐项目等。需要说明的是,上述程序一般在版本较高的软件中含有,早期的版本有的未含。另一种是独立的对齐程序,如autoaligner,bitext2tmx,eAlign-SuperAlign等。在《儒林外史》汉英平行语料库的建设过程中,我们使用的是雪人CAT的双语对齐项目来进行对齐。雪人CAT是由广东佛山雪人计算机有限公司自主研发的计算机辅助翻译软件,该软件充分利用计算机的超强计算能力、记忆能力和人的创造能力相结合而研制的人机互动的辅助翻译软件。不同于上述其它综合类翻译软件的是,雪人CAT是分语言开发的,如雪人CAT中英版,雪人CAT中日版,雪人CAT中法版等。针对特定的语言开发的软件效率高,操作方便,功能相对强大。如雪人CAT中英版,专门定位于中英及英中间的翻译,其附带的双语对齐项目由于利用内置词典以及模糊算法,充分考虑到英、汉语的不同特点,对齐效率及准确率均比较高。

以《儒林外史》第一回的原文及译文对齐为例,利用雪人CAT中英免费版(1. 37)双语对齐项目进行句子对齐操作。

图 1 打开雪人CAT双语对齐项目

打开对齐项目界面后,进入导入双语文件界面。原文及译文双语导入有两种方法:一是通过加载文件的方法,一是采用复制后粘贴的方法。两种方法结果一样,见图2。

图 2 导入原文与译文后的界面

导入原文与译文后,按“确定”后,结果见图3。

图 3 初对齐结果

从上图可发现,初次对齐时第一回的开篇词对应结果不理想,可进行人工重新对齐,采用合并或拆分的方法,合并时将光标放在要合并的两部分的上部分末,然后按“Delete”键,就可以合并;拆分时,把光标置于拆分的位置,按“Enter”键,完成拆分过程。最终结果见图4。

图 4 最终对齐结果

需要说明的是,《儒林外史》为康乾年间的白话长篇小说,其词汇、语法基本上已和今天相差无几,但还属于半文言半白话的性质,而雪人CAT的对齐项目主要针对现代汉语的语料,在实际使用过程中,《儒林外史》这样的语料对齐效果还是可以接受的。

逐章回对齐后,保存成. STP文件。要导出双语对应后的对齐文件,须使用雪人CAT的标准版,该版是商用软件,购买后方可使用。标准版在加密锁的支持下可生成左右两列对应的HTML文件。可方便的将对齐后的原文与译文分开,分别保存成独立的文本文件,构成平行语料库。下面以第二回为例显示如下图。

图 5 第二回导出的HTML文件

第二回的前20个句对应单位如下:(囿于篇幅,仅以前20个句对应为例,以汉、英语分开、汉、英语间隔 及汉、英语句子进行结构、句序标注 三种形式排列)

王孝廉村学识同科

周蒙师暮年登上第

话说山东兖州府汶上县有个乡村,叫做薛家集。这集上有百十来人家,都是务农为业。

村口一个观音庵,殿宇三间之外,另还有十几间空房子,后门临着水次。

这庵是十方的香火,只得一个和尚住。

集上人家,凡有公事,就在这庵里来同议。

那时成化末年,正是天下繁富的时候。

新年正月初八日,集上人约齐了,都到庵里来议“闹龙灯”之事。

到了早饭时候,为头的申祥甫带了七八个人走了进来,在殿上拜了佛;和尚走来与诸位见礼,都还过了礼。申祥甫发作和尚道:“和尚!

你新年新岁,也该把菩萨面前香烛点勤些!

阿弥陀佛!

受了十方的钞钱,也要消受。”

又叫“诸位都来看看:这琉璃灯内,只得半琉璃油。”

指着内中一个穿齐整些的老翁,说道:“不论别人,只这一位荀老爷,三十晚里还送了五十斤油与你;白白给你炒菜吃,全不敬佛!”

和尚陪着小心。等他发作过了,拿一把铅壶,撮了一把苦丁茶叶,倒满了水,在火上烧得滚热,送与众位吃。

荀老爷先开口道:“今年龙灯上庙,我们户下各家,须出多少银子?”

申祥甫道:“且住,等我亲家来一同商议。”

正说着,外边走进一个人,两只红眼边,一副铁锅脸,几根黄胡子,歪戴着瓦楞帽,身上青布衣服,就如油篓一般,手里拿着一根赶驴的鞭子。

走进门来,和众人拱一拱手,一屁股就坐在上席。

Chapter 2

Provincial Graduate Wang meets a fellow candidate in a village school.

Chou Chin passes the examination in his old age

In Hsueh Market,a village of Wenshang County,Shantung,there lived over a hundred families,all of whom worked on the land.

At the entrance to the village was a Kuanyin Temple with three halls and a dozen empty rooms. Its back door overlooked the river.

Peasants from all around contributed to the upkeep of this temple,and only one monk lived there.

Here the villagers would come to discuss public business.

It was the last year of the Cheng Hua period of the Ming Dynasty(1487),when the country was prosperous.

One year,on the eighth of the first month,just after New Year,some of the villagers met in the temple to discuss the dragon lantern dance which is held on the fifteenth.

At breakfast time the man who usually took the lead,Shen Hsiang-fu,walked in,followed by seven or eight others. In the main hall they bowed to Buddha,and the monk came to wish them a happy New Year. As soon as they had returned his greeting,Shen reproved him ."Monk!

At New Year you should burn more incense before Buddha!

Gracious Heaven!

You've been pocketing money from all sides,and you ought to spend a little of it.

Come here,all of you,and take a look at this lamp:it's only half filled with oil ."

Then,pointing to an old man who was better dressed than most:"Not to mention others,Mr. Hsun alone sent you fifty catties of oil on New Year's Eve. But you are using it all for your cooking,instead of for the glory of Buddha ."

The monk apologized profusely when Shen had finished. Then he fetched a pewter kettle,put in a handful of tea leaves,filled the kettle with water,boiled it over the fire and poured out tea for them.

Old Mr. Hsun was the first to speak ."How much do we each have to pay for the lantern dance in the temple this year?"he asked.

"Wait till my relative comes,"said Shen ."We'll discuss it together ."

As they were speaking,a man walked in. He had redrimmed eyes,a swarthy face,and sparse,dingy whiskers. His cap was cocked to one side,his blue cloth gown was greasy as an oil-vat,and he carried a donkey switch in one hand.

Making a casual gesture of greeting to the company,he plumped himself down in the seat of honour.

4. 2 词语标注

创建《儒林外史》汉英句对齐平行语料库的目的之一是获得某类词语中任何一词的典型翻译,为此须对汉语语料进行标注。标注,顾名思义就是对语料贴上标签,为此后的检索提供标记。黄昌宁、李涓子(2002)给标注下的定义是:一种给口语和(或)书面语料库增添解释的(interpretative)和语言的( linguistic)信息的实践。 标注的语料是已经对齐的汉语语料,标注不会对已经完成对齐的语料造成任何其它影响。

标注一般包括词性标注、句法标注、语义标注、语用标注、韵律标注等。词性标注又称语法标注,即为语料中的每一个词标上词性;句法标注是在语法标注的基础上进行,主要对句子的结构及短语构成进行标注;语义标注为语料中的词语标上语义范畴标签;语用标注是建立在语言使用的基础上,运用语用学的相关知识框架进行标注;韵律标注主要针对口语语料,包括对语调、重音、语音停顿进行标注。

本课题首先对词语进行聚类,按语言的实际状况,分为法律、服饰、科举官职、詈言·敬语·谦语·隐语、习俗、习语、戏曲、医药、饮食、宗教共10类,然后分别进行标注。标注的内容及标记如下:

续表

如法律类包括“班房、班头、补词、参、参案、参拿、差拿、差人、掣签、呈词、呈子、吃荤饭、出首、词讼、大枷、二梆、发落、访牌……”等词语,统一标上<falu>班房</falu>,<falu>班头</falu>,<falu>补词</falu>……依次类推。

标注的工具采用的是北京外国语大学研制的语料库软件BFSU Qualitative Coder 1. 1。该软件由贾云龙、许家金设计,贾云龙负责编程,最新的版本为BFSU Qualitative Coder 1. 2 。实际标注时,要将事先设计的标注标记做成. ini文件导入程序中即可。将上述10个标记导入后,软件界面的上方就出现标记符号,使用时先用鼠标选择词语,然后点下标注集符号,标注立即完成。图6是以《儒林外史》第三回为例的标注结果,其中词语“学道”属于“科举官职”类,前后分别标上<kigz>和</kigz>;“贡院”也属于“科举官职”类,标记同上;“号板”也属于“科举官职”类,标记同上;“阴气”属于“医药”类,前后分别标上<yiyo>和</yiyo>。

图 6 标注样例

下面以25回的部分语料为例,显示标注结果如下:

第二十五回

鲍文卿南京遇旧

倪廷玺安庆招亲

话说鲍文卿到城北去寻人,觅孩子学戏。走到鼓楼坡上,他才上坡,遇着一个人下坡。鲍文卿看那人时,头戴破<fush>毡帽</fush>,身穿一件破<fush>黑绸直裰</fush>,脚下一双烂红<fush>鞋</fush>,花白胡须,约有六十多岁光景。手里拿着一张破<yiyo>琴</yiyo>,<yiyo>琴</yiyo>上贴着一条白纸,纸上写着四个字道:“修补<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>。”

鲍文卿赶上几步,向他拱手道:“老爹是会修补<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>的么?”

那人道:“正是。”

鲍文卿道:“如此,屈老爹在茶馆坐坐。”

当下两人进了茶馆坐下,拿了一壶茶来吃着。

鲍文卿道:“老爹<ljqy>尊</ljqy>姓?”

那人道:“<ljqy>贱</ljqy>姓倪。”

鲍文卿道,“<ljqy>尊</ljqy>府在那里?”

那人道,“远哩!<ljqy>舍下</ljqy>在三牌楼。”

鲍文卿道:“倪老爹,你这修补<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>,<yiyo>三弦</yiyo>、<yiyo>琵琶</yiyo>都可以修得么?”

倪老爹道:“都可以修得的。”

鲍文卿道:“<ljqy>在下</ljqy>姓鲍,<ljqy>舍下</ljqy>住在水西门,原是<xiqu>梨园</xiqu>行业。

因家里有几件<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>坏了,要借重老爹修一修。

如今不知是屈老爹到<ljqy>舍下</ljqy>去修好,还是送到老爹<ljqy>府上</ljqy>去修?”

倪老爹道:“长兄,你共有几件<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>?”

鲍文卿道:“只怕也有七八件。”

倪老爹道:“有七八件就不好拿来,还是我到你<ljqy>府上</ljqy>来修罢。

也不过一两日功夫,我只扰你一顿早饭,晚里还回来家。”

鲍文卿道:“这就好了。

只是茶水不周,老爹休要见怪。”

又道:”几时可以屈老爹去?”

倪老爹道:“明日不得闲,后日来罢。”

当下说定了。门口挑了一担<yish>茯苓糕</yish>来,鲍文卿买了半斤,同倪老爹吃了,彼此告别。

鲍文卿道:“后日清晨,专候老爹。”

倪老爹应诺去了。

鲍文卿回来和浑家说下,把<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>都揩抹净了,搬出来摆在客座里。

到那日清晨,倪老爹来了,吃过<yish>茶</yish><yish>点心</yish>,拿这<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>修补。

修了一回,家里两个学戏的孩子捧出一顿<yish>素饭</yish>来,鲍文卿陪着倪老爹吃了。

到下午时候,鲍文卿出门回来,向倪老爹道:“却是怠慢老爹的紧,家里没个好菜蔬,不恭。

我而今约老爹去酒楼上坐坐,这<yiyo>乐器</yiyo>丢着,明日再补罢。”

倪老爹道:“为甚么又要取扰?”

当下两人走出来,到一个酒楼上,拣了一个僻静座头坐下。

堂官过来问:“可还有客?”

倪老爹道:“没有客了。

你这里有些甚么菜?”

走堂的叠着指头数道:“<yish>肘子</yish>、<yish>鸭子</yish>、<yish>黄闷鱼</yish>、<yish>醉白鱼</yish>、<yish>杂脍</yish>、<yish>单鸡</yish>、<yish>白切肚子</yish>、<yish>生煼肉</yish>、<yish>京煼肉</yish>、<yish>煼肉片</yish>、<yish>煎肉圆</yish>、<yish>闷青鱼</yish>、<yish>煮鲢头</yish>,还有<yish>便碟白切肉</yish>。”

需要说明的是,利用软件BFSU Qualitative Coder标注后的不同类别的词语颜色可能不一样,但保存为文本文件后颜色消失,所有文本统一。

4. 3 词语检索及译例的确定

语料库语言学以文本数据作为研究对象,通过计算机检索,并进行统计分析来揭示语言事实。 Hunston(2002)指出:“语料库本身不能做任何事情,只不过是存储了一些使用过的语言,而只有与语料库工具结合才可以对语料库进行重新排列并对语言现象进行研究。” 平行语料库则需要借助平行语料库检索工具来发现翻译规律。常用的平行语料库检索软件包括AntPConc,BFSU ParaConc,CUC_ParaConc及ParaConc四种。

AntPConc是日本早稻田大学科学与工程学院英语教育中心Laurence Anthony教授研制的系列免费共享语料库检索及文本处理软件之一,目前最新版本为AntPConc 1. 1. 0 。该软件界面友好,操作简单,主要针对词语进行检索,支持通配符及大小写检索。可设置检索语境范围及每页显示的检索行数和显示比例。能对检索结果进行排序,并可随机抽样显示检索行。该软件的最大特点是平行语料库的个数不受限制,原则上支持无限个平行语料库。图7和图8分别为该软件的初始界面及检索结果。

图 7 AntPConc初始界面

图 8 AntPConc检索“大学士”结果

BFSU ParaConc 由北京外国语大学中国外语教育研究中心许家金、梁茂成及贾云龙设计,由贾云龙负责开发的一款共享软件。该软件界面清新,其最大特点是支持正则表达式检索、英文词形还原检索并可排除检索结果,主要用于课堂教学。图9和图10分别为该软件的初始界面及检索结果。

图 9 BFSU ParaConc初始界面

图 10 BFSU ParaConc检索“make”结果

CUC_ParaConc 由中国传媒大学博士程南昌开发,此软件是一款免费共享绿色软件,最初问世于2011年,在windows系统下运行,该软件是基于Delphi环境开发的。最新版本是0.3版,它的最大特点是可以分析最多达16种不同语言的平行语料,支持正则表达式,支持对Unicode、UTF8、ANSI等编码的纯文本语料检索,使用方便,功能强大。图11、图12和图13分别为该软件的初始界面及检索结果。

图 11 CUC_ParaConc初始界面

图 12 CUC_ParaConc检索“在下”结果(句子形式)

图 13 CUC_ParaConc检索“在下”结果(居中形式)

ParaConc 是由新西兰奥克兰大学应用语言学系教授Michael Barlow研发的一款用于双语及多语平行语料处理分析软件,可以对最多达4种不同语言的平行语料进行检索,利用其本身附带的统计分析功能,可以发现潜藏于文本深处的带有某种规律性的特征。目前常用的是Beta 269版,研发者目前已推出Unicode version ParaConc,这两个版本功能基本相同,均可实现包括平行文本的检索、排序、统计分析等功能,支持一般检索、平行检索、标注检索及正则表达式检索,结果输出格式多样,功能强大。图14和图15分别为该软件的初始界面及检索结果。

图 14 服饰类检索

图 15 服饰类检索后排序

由于ParaConc支持正则表达式检索,而且对结果可以进行排序,便于找出翻译规律,比较容易发现词语的典型翻译,因而本书在编写中应用的检索软件为ParaConc。

对服饰类中的“方巾”一词进行检索,结果有59例,对应的翻译有:scholar's square cap,square scholar's cap,scholar's cap及square cap等,通过排序及二次检索发现square cap出现最多,scholar's cap次之,其它两个出现很少。因此“方巾”的典型翻译为“square cap”。下面对“方巾”一词翻译为square cap和scholar's cap随机抽出10例和5例,其中前10例为翻译成square cap的译例,后5例为翻译为scholar's cap的译例。

1.那梅玖戴著新 方巾 ,老早到了。直到巳牌时候,周先生才来。(第二回)

Mei Chiu arrived early,wearing his new square cap,but Chou Chin did not turn up till nearly noon.

2.直到太阳偏西,不见一个吹手来;二相公戴著新 方巾 、披著红、簪著花,前前后后的走著著急,问吹手怎的不来?(第六回)

Right up to sunset,not a single musician had arrived. In his new square cap and red sash,garlanded with flowers,the bridegroom was pacing anxiously up and down,demanding to know what had happened to them.

3.看门的道:“他有五六十岁,头上也戴的是 方巾 ,穿的件茧绸直裰,象个斯文人。”(第十回)

"He is between fifty and sixty,wearing a square cap and a silk gown. He looks like a scholar ."

4.看见匡超人戴着 方巾 ,知道他是秀才,便道:“先生贵处那里?尊姓合甫?”(第十七回)

Seeing from Kuang Chao-jen's square cap that he was a scholar,Ching asked:"May I know your distinguished native place,sir,and your honourable name?"

5.到了安东,先住在黄客人家。黄客人替他买了一顶 方巾 ,添了件把衣报,一双靴,穿着去拜董知县。(第二十三回)

On reaching Antung,Niu Pu put up with Mr. Huang,who bought him a square cap,some clothes and a pair of shoes. He put these on to call on the magistrate.

6.那轿揭开帘子,轿里坐着一个戴 方巾 的少年,诸葛天申依稀有些认得。那轿来的快,如飞的就过去了。(第二十九回)

The curtains of the chair were drawn,so that they could see the passenger—a young man in a square cap,who looked vaguely familiar to Chu-ko as the chair flashed past.

7.只见头戴 方巾 ,身穿宝蓝夹纱直裰,三绺髭须,黄白面皮,出来恭恭敬敬同二位作揖坐下。(第三十四回)

He wore a square cap and light gown of azure gauze,his beard was sparse and his complexion sallow. Bowing ceremoniously as he came out,he greeted Tu and Chih,and they sat down.
