汉语的对称性和英语的非对称性

英语单词是由音节组成的单音节词 和多音节词
英语词汇注重形式上的完整和正确，较少 对称的结构。 He went to the party although it was rainning. He started to do his homework as soon as he came back.
汉语的四字结构，即成语和新组成的词语 如：叶公好龙、自得之趣、改革开放 英译汉时，应注意选用适当的四字结构， 而汉译英时则不应刻意追求形式上的对等： Magnificent 美不胜收 Extremely hard 艰苦卓绝 Interesting 引人入胜
英译汉中的一条基本原则是词汇的选择需 要注意汉语的内在节律性： China is a vast country with rich natural resources and a large population. 中国地大物博，人口众多。 She was eighteen and beautiful. 她年方18，天生丽质。
英译汉时讲究对称，但汉译英时，若刻意追求对 称可能会产生适得其反的效果，如： 当风和日丽时，举目远望，佘山、金山、崇明岛 隐隐可见。 On a day of gentle breeze and bright sun, the observation deck commands an indistinct view of Mount Sheshan,Jinshan and Chongming Island. On a fine day, one can even see Mount Sheshan, Jinshan and Chongming Island, although not very clearly.
