大学英语四级常用翻译方法和技巧:定语从句的翻译.doc

2018年大学英语四级常用翻译方法和技巧:定语从句的翻译定语从句在英语中大量出现,它有长有短,结构有简有繁,对先行词的限制有强有弱。

定语从句有时起补充说明和分层叙述的作用,或在逻辑上表示原因、目的、条件、让步和结果等等意义。

在语序上,英语的定语从句位于被其修饰的词语之后。

所以汉译时必须正确体会原文的逻辑概念,合理安排译文的语序,按汉语的表达方式处理行文。

1)压缩法这种译法就是把英语的定语从句压缩成汉语的一个句子成分,也就是译成汉语中带的的词组。

当定语从句较简短而且与先行词关系密切,则把这个带的的汉语定语词组置于被其修饰的词语之前,从而把英语的复句译成汉语的单句。

[例1]Thats the reason why she spoke.这就是她为什么发言的理由。

[例2]The war, which had gone on for more than ten years, was over.那场延续了十年之久的战争结束了。

2)溶合法把定语从句译成汉语的谓语,同时把主句译成汉语的词组作主语,二者溶合,译成独立的简单句。

由于限制性定语从句与主句的关系密切,所以此法较适用于翻译带限制件定语从句的复合句,尤其是翻译there be结构的句子。

[例1]There was another man who seemed to have answer.另外有一人似乎胸有成竹。

[例2]This poem which almost everybody knows is by Tennyson.丁尼生写的这首诗几乎人人皆知。

3)拆译法如果定语从句冗长复杂,不论是限制性的或是非限制性的.往往可以译成并列句,放在主句的前后,有的还可以完全脱离主句而独立成句。

[例1]There will come a day when he will become a well-known musician.将来总有那么一天,他将成为一位著名的音乐家。

whose四级语法定语从句考研长难句

whose四级语法定语从句考研长难句在英语四级和考研中,定语从句是一个常见的语法考点。

其中,带有“whose”引导的定语从句是一种比较难的结构。

下面是一个例句,展示了这种结构的用法:1. I have a friend whose sister is a famous actress.在这个句子中,定语从句“whose sister is a famous actress”修饰了名词“friend”。

这个句子的意思是,“我有一个朋友,他的姐姐是一位著名的演员。

”这种用法中,“whose”引导的定语从句用来描述某人拥有的事物或特征。

在考试中,我们经常会遇到一些较长且复杂的句子,其中含有这种结构。

以下是一些考研长难句的例子:2. The company, whose CEO was recently appointed, has announceda new product.在这个句子中,定语从句“whose CEO was recently appointed”修饰了名词“company”。

意思是,“这家公司的首席执行官最近被任命,并宣布了一款新产品。

”3. The book, whose pages are filled with beautiful illustrations, has become a bestseller.这个句子中,定语从句“whose pages are filled with beautiful illustrations”修饰了名词“book”。

它表明,“这本书的页面上满是美丽的插图,已成为畅销书。

”这些例句展示了在定语从句中使用'whose'引导的一些难句结构。

在考试中,理解和正确运用这种结构对于提高语法得分至关重要。

通过大量练习和积累,我们可以逐渐掌握这一语法点,并在考试中得心应手。

大学英语四级定语从句

大学英语四级定语从句

定语从句■有关定语从句的概念(1)定语从句:就是在复合句里充当定语的从句,它通常紧靠在所修饰的名词或代词后面。

(2)先行词:就是被定语从句修饰的名词或代词。

(3)关系词:引导定语从句的词叫关系词。

关系词有关系代词who, whom, whose,which和that等;关系副词有when, where, why等。

关系词不仅起连接作用,而且还代表先行词并在定语从句中担任某一句子成分,关系代词作主语、宾语、定语、表语等,关系副词作状语。

如:This is the book that my father bought yesterday. 这就是我父亲昨天帮我买的那本书。

说明:句中修饰the book的that my father bought yesterday就是定语从句;被定语从句所修饰的the book这是先行词;代表the book的关系代词that在定语从句中作bought的直接宾语。

The time when he arrives is not known. 他到达的时间还不知道。

说明:句中when he arrives是定语从句,被定语从句修饰的the time是先行词,关系副词when作时间状语。

■关系代词的一般用法先行词是人,在从句中作主语用who,作宾语用whom或who,作定语用whose;先行词是物,在定语从句中作主语或宾语都用which,作定语用of which或whose均可。

在限制性定语从句中which, who, whom都可用that代替。

关系代词作宾语时常被省略。

This is the man who helped me yesterday. 这就是昨天帮助我的那个人。

(作主语) The teacher (who/whom/that) you want to see is coming. 你要见的老师来了。

(作see 的宾语,可以省略)I met a boy whose father was an astronaut. 我认识一位男孩,他的父亲是宇航员。

四级语法知识点中哪些容易出错

四级语法知识点中哪些容易出错

四级语法知识点中哪些容易出错在大学英语四级考试中,语法是重要的考查内容之一。

对于许多考生来说,掌握语法并非易事,有些知识点尤其容易出错。

以下是一些常见的容易出错的四级语法知识点。

一、时态时态的运用在英语中至关重要,但也是容易混淆的部分。

比如现在完成时和一般过去时,很多同学难以准确区分。

现在完成时强调过去发生的动作对现在产生的影响或结果,常与“since”“for”等时间状语连用;而一般过去时则单纯描述过去发生的动作,与现在没有直接联系。

例如:“I have lived here for five years”(现在完成时,表示从过去到现在的持续状态);“I lived here five years ago”(一般过去时,只讲述过去的一个动作)还有过去完成时,它表示过去某个时间之前已经完成的动作。

在复杂的句子结构中,判断过去完成时的使用时机常常让人困惑。

二、虚拟语气虚拟语气是四级语法中的一个难点。

对于与现在、过去和将来事实相反的情况,其表达形式各不相同,容易出错。

比如,与现在事实相反的虚拟语气,从句用一般过去时,主句用“would/should/could/might +动词原形”。

“If I were you, I would study harder” (“were”体现与现在事实相反)而与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,从句用过去完成时,主句用“would/should/could/might + have +过去分词”。

“If he had studied harder, he would have passed the exam”三、非谓语动词非谓语动词包括动名词、不定式和分词(现在分词和过去分词)。

它们的用法复杂,容易引起错误。

动名词通常表示一般性、习惯性的动作,而不定式往往表示具体的、一次性的动作。

例如:“I like swimming”(swimming 是动名词,表示喜欢游泳这个一般性的爱好);“I want to swim today”(to swim 是不定式,强调今天想要去游泳这个具体的动作)分词在句中的作用也容易混淆。

大学英语四级考试语法:—定语从句
很多同学在大学英语四级考试中会存在一些误区,认为语法不那么重要,其实英
语语法是学习英语的指南,对我们帮助很大。

以下是小编给大家整理的大学英语四级
考试语法:—定语从句,希望可以帮到大家
1、mary is a beautiful girl.
名词的扩展靠限定,最基本的就是在名词的前面增加一个形容词这样的定语,上
面的句子就是表语girl的前面加了一个形容词。

显然,如果只是mary is a girl这样的
句子会让人觉得非常枯燥,没有什么意义,所传递的信息量极其有限。

所以,名词前
面加定语,可以使被限定的名词更加生动,更加形象而富有生命。

如果要对名词给出
更多限定,挖掘更多内部信息,我们可以在名词前面加多个定语来限定,如mary is a beautiful chinese girl.
放在名词前面起到限定作用的定语有很多种形式,形容词,名词,动词现在分词,动词过去分词等。

虽然形式多样,但是这类定语还是比较好理解,只要顺着句子的顺序,就基本可以明白是怎么回事。

2、the computer that i bought yesterday works well.
有时候,我们需要对名词给出很多的说明,用大量的信息来限定名词。

这时,如
果还是把长长的限定成分放在名词前面,就会头重脚轻,所以英语中会用跟在名词后
面的定语从句来限定前面的名词。

根据定语的功能还可以分为限制性定语从句和非限
制性定语从句。

两者的区别在于前者与被限定名词之间没有逗号,而后者则有逗号隔开;前者起到限定作用,不可或缺,后者起到补充作用,舍去后对剩余部分影响不大。

本句子通过“that i bought yesterday”这个that引导的定语从句,使得主语the computer得到限定而明确,是我昨天买的计算机而不是别的。

如果明白了这个名词可
以通过后面加定语从句来扩展,我们的句子马上可以变得复杂起来,请看下例:another popular spectator sport, which is known as the sport of kings, is horse-racing, which is controlled by the jockey club.
译文:另一种以特大型运动著称的流行观赏运动是赛马,这种比赛由赛马总会控制。

本句话中,两个which引导的定语从句分别对前面的名词“spectator sport”和“horse-racing”,如果去掉这两个定语从句,句子就比较简单“another popular spectator sport is horse-racing.”
请再看下例:
each course which a student attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.
译文:学生所上的每门课都将给他一个学分,当学生把所得学分累加到一定数量
就可以获得一个学位。

本句子的表象也是有点复杂,但是如果我们明白定语从句可以限定名词,就可以
把定语从句的部分先括起来跳过不看,抓住主干。

第一个从句which a student
attends到这里已经完整,所以括起来,同理第二个从句which he may count towards a degree,剩下的即为主干each course gives him a credit.在翻译时,要注意汉语句
子的结构平衡,所以一般把短的定语从句放在被限定名词前面翻译,而把相对较长的
定语从句放在被限定的名词后面翻译。

有时候,定语从句的引导词如果在从句中作宾语,那么引导词可以省略,如下例:pollution and waste is a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.
本句话的主干就是开头部分pollution and waste is a problem.在problem后面紧
跟着everyone can help to solve这个定语从句,省略了引导词that,by后面引导的是限定动词solve的状语by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products。

在状语部分,最后是名词products,后面又有一
个省略that的定语从句(that) we use in our daily lives。

显然,省略引导词后,定语从
句判断的难度会加大,但是我们可以根据句子的含义来判断句子和前面名词的限定关系。
