翻譯是外語人重要的就業工具之一。德文系學生從二、三年級起就要學翻譯到畢 業為止，由此可以看出其地位之重要。然而翻譯是門複雜科學，綜合相關語言的結構分析學、 語言應用學、篇章語言學、修辭學、邏輯學、甚至哲學及美學等等。本文是以分析翻譯實例 為基礎，來探討翻譯時所遇到的困難，進而研究出翻譯的修辭技巧。本論文的研究材料不是 虛構的例子，而都是取自出版的專書、文學作品及報章雜誌，其原文是德文，且已譯為中文。 研究的方法比較同一原文的不同翻譯版本，歸納出翻譯的各種困難及依據實例的上下文，分 析中德文間的不同，研究出多樣的翻譯修辭技巧。所分析的實例不限於其本身而已，其代表 的是一種翻譯的情況及文章種類，藉由分析多樣的實例，以提供讀者遇到相關翻譯情況時， 應該把握哪些原則及如何處理相關的問題及困難。

　　　　　This research aims at investigating the translation skills of published German-to-Chinese translated works. The comparative analyese are conducted within three focuses: context comparison between German and Chinese languages, different Chinese translation versions of identical original sources and the categorization of the examples. From the original language to the targeted language, translation is considered as a complicated subject, because it has to deal with syntax analysis, linguistic pragmatics, textlinguistics, rhetoric, logic as well as philosophy and aesthetics. The materials studied here are chosen from published books, literature works, newspaper articles and magazines. Throughout the analyses of the German and Chinese contexts, numerous syntactical techniques will be assessed. Examining different translated versions of the same source will enable us to induce various rhetoric skills. In addition to that, the examples themselves reveal different translation genres. Consequently, within the three main scopes of its study, this paper wil provide translators some basic principles and solutions in dealing with certain challenges in German-Chinese translation.
