澳大利亚中文翻译协会(CITAA)于2017年报备澳大利亚翻译局(NAATI),组织了《澳大利亚法律英中词汇汇编》项目。方必怡牵头负责总体协调事务工作,而项目则由热心的翻译同事一起合作义务完成。这个项目历时几年,期间由于各种原因进展几番受阻,但还是在没有得到任何政府组织拨款的情况下,最终靠同事的义务工作完成,现在终于能在协会的网上发表,实在也是一桩成就。
在此首先由衷感谢余孝奇老师。不光刑法词汇部分是在余老师编写的《澳大利亚法律词汇表》基础上加工整理的,而且余老师也为我们的词汇表提供了很好的模式版本。其次感谢骆琛和秦燕,这两位同事提供了两篇视译文章的译文初稿。还有协会会员张天韬,他在中国就是执业律师,在澳大利亚不光是专业翻译,而且是注册的移民代理和澳大利亚法学博士,对澳中两国的法律体系都有很深刻的理解。张博士花了不少时间对词汇表仔细校对,在此深表谢意。我们协会会长澳大利亚勋章获得者、五级特级翻译秦潞山教授非常重视和支持这个项目,可以说这个项目就是秦会长提议建立的,并且一直给予无私的毫无保留的帮助。他不仅认真校对了每一篇视译文章,还对要发表的所有内容都做了最终审核。对于秦会长的指导和贡献,感激之情难以言表。
最后鸣谢这几年来积极参与译文讨论的同事。很抱歉无法在此列出名字一一致谢。几年来正是由于大家对工作的热情和对事业的追求,不断在微信群里提出疑问,热心讨论最佳译文,还找到很多有用的相关资料链接来分享,这才使我们项目增补了不少实用的内容。当然,任何译文都不可能十全十美,这个项目里也不免有错漏,欢迎同行批评指正。
协会开展这个项目,初衷就是为了帮助澳大利亚的专业翻译解决在法律领域里碰到的一些难题。由于澳中两国法律制度区别很大,工作中大家常常会碰到一些英文的法律词汇和术语,不知如何翻译成中文才最为准确; 而市面上的工具书和英汉词典都是和英美法律有关的;并没有一部关于澳大利亚法律的英汉词典可供参考。众所周知,尽管同属普通法系,澳大利亚的法律和英美两国的法律还是有较大区别的。但是为客户和当事人提供精准的传译服务,我们专业译员责无旁贷。这本词汇汇编收集了工作中常见的法律词汇,每个词条都尽量配上正确的英文定义或者典型的例句,以帮助使用的人理解词汇的语境甚至背后的法律原则。有些词语特意保留了非英语人士中流行的中文译文,旨在帮助同事在听到那些未必准确的中文表达时,能够知道当事人说的到底对应的是哪个英语词汇。希望这份《澳大利亚英中法律词汇汇编》在线发表后,能方便同事参考使用,为大家提高翻译质量助一臂之力。对于同一个英文法律词汇,如果所有同事都能够使用准确且统一的中文译文,毫无疑问不仅客户受益,还一定能提高我们中文翻译行业的整体专业形象。当然具体效果如何,还要听同事们使用后的反馈意见,我们拭目以待。
想说明的是目前发表的只是该项目计划完成的一部分;另外还有移民法、家事法、民事法、劳工法等领域,限于人手和资源,尚未专章列出。而且澳大利亚的法律也在不停地修改增补,给我们的法务翻译工作不时带来新的挑战,这也意味着会给我们的项目不断增加新的内容。好在同事们对翻译事业有着精益求精的工匠精神,项目又能得到会长和资深同事的无私指导,相信我们的词汇表一定会与时俱进,不断在网上更新,成为澳大利亚中文法务翻译的好助手。
万事开头难。我有信心,我们协会的这个项目会在越来越多同事的关注和支持之下,越办越好。
