26、useeanygreeninmyeye?形式对等：你从我的眼睛里看到绿色吗？动态对等：你以为我是好欺负的吗？奈达有关翻译的定义指明，翻译不仅是词汇意义上的对等，还包括语义、风格和文体的对等，翻译传达的信息既有表层词汇信息，也有深层的文化信息。“动态对等”中的对等包括四个方面：1.词汇对等；2.句法对等；3.篇章对等；4.文体对等。在这四个方面中，奈达认为，”correspondenceinmeaningmusthavepriorityovercorrespondenceinstyle”(意义是最重要的，形式其次)(郭建中,2000,P67)。形式很可能掩藏源语的文化意义，并阻碍文化交流。因此，

27、在文学翻译中，根据奈达的理论，译者应以动态对等的四个方面，作为翻译的原则，准确地在目的语中再现源语的文化内涵。FourbasicrequirementsoftranslationMakingsense(言之成理)；Conveyingthespiritandmanneroftheoriginal(传达原文精神风貌)；Havinganatureandeasyformofexpression(表达自然流畅)；Producingasimilarresponse(产生共鸣).ThediscussiontotranslationtheoriesofNidaAdvantages:Thekeyroleplay
