考研辅导长难句分析与翻译

既要提高英语水平又能帮助通过考试
A.不要一味做模拟试题
B.根据自身情况合理安排
C.维持正常学习
坚持背诵：最有效的笨办法，但要聪明地学会聪明地使用笨办法
背诵材料的选择既要注重语言（规范）也要注重内容（心智成熟）又要是切身的（不切身的知识永远是身外之物）
坚持阅读：注意语块、句子结构（一定要超越单词层面）、锻炼思维（作者如何展
开论证）
适当阅读较难的文章：吃透每一个句子
一、长难句分析
造成阅读困难的原因
1.词汇（包括词组、习惯表达、一词多义等）
2.句子结构复杂或句型特殊
3.缺乏相关背景知识
4.本身理解能力（自身心智不足、思想能力低下、阅历缺乏等）
其中1、2是语言因素，3、4则为非语言因素。

长难句的理解
英语句子结构特点——节外生枝
树形结构tree-like language
汉语句子结构——按事物世纪发生顺序（时间顺序、逻辑顺序等）自左至右线性铺陈，竹形结构bamboo-like language
英语句子以谓语动词为中心，以主谓（宾）结构为主干，再借助关系代词、从属连词、非限定形式等进行空间搭架，且句尾开放。

这种环环相扣、层层叠加的构句方式常
会使英语句子修饰关系复杂、并列成分繁多。

另外，句子末端重量的要求以及插入语的
频繁使用又会造成句子内部各成分之间搭配关系、修饰关系得表层分隔。

这些因素再加
上为避免重复而采用的指代、替代与省略以及倒装等语法手段均会给阅读者带来相当大
的阅读理解困难。

所以，对长、难句要仔细分析句子基本结构，理清句子内部各部分之间的关系。

The Victorians would have considered it “painful”or “unpleasant”were one to point out that only four marriages out of every ten are anything but forced servitudes（奴役）.

48. Mr. President and Gentlemen,
I greet you on the re-commencement of our literary year. Our anniversary is one of hope, and,
perhaps, not enough of labor. We do not meet for games of strength or skill, for the recitation of histories, tragedies, and odes（颂诗，颂歌）, like the ancient Greeks; for parliaments(集会) of love and poesy（诗歌）, like the Troubadours（中世纪浪漫诗人）; nor for the advancement of science, like our cotemporaries in the British and European capitals. Thus far, our holiday has been simply a friendly sign of the survival of the love of letters amongst a people too busy to give to letters any more. As such, it is precious as the sign of an indestructible instinct. Perhaps the time is already come, when it ought to be, and will be, something else; when the sluggard（懒惰的）intellect of this continent will look from under its iron lids （眼睑=eyelids）, and fill the postponed expectation of the world with something better than the exertions(行使，发挥) of mechanical skill. Our day of dependence, our long apprenticeship to the learning of other lands, draws to a close. The millions, that around us are rushing into life, cannot always be fed on the sere（干枯的，枯萎的）remains of foreign harvests. Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation （星系）Harp, which now flames in our zenith（天顶）, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole-star（北极星）for a thousand years?

会长，诸位：
我们今年的文艺工作又开始了，我向你们致敬。

这是一个满有希望的周年纪念日，但有待努力的地方也许仍然很多。

我们聚集在一起，并非为了较力或较技，也不是来朗诵历史、悲剧和诗赋，像古代的希腊人一样；也不是为了恋爱与诗歌而集会，像中世纪的浪漫诗人一样；也不是为了科学的进展，像英国与欧洲各国都会的现代人一样。

到现在为止，我们这个假日只是一种友善的表示，说明我们这个民族虽然过分忙碌，没有余闲欣赏文学，对于文艺的爱好依然存在。

就连这样，这一天也是宝贵的，因为它表示文艺的爱好是一种无法毁灭的本能。

但是它应当更进一步-----也许现在已经到了时候了；美洲懒散的智力将要由它的铁眼睑下面望开去，使这世界对于它久未兑现的期望得到满足，比机械技巧方面的成就得到更好的东西。

我们依赖别人的日子，对于其他国土的学识悠长的学习时期，将近结束了。

我们四周有亿万青年正向人生里面冲进来，不能永远用异邦残剩的干枯的谷粮来喂他们。

某些事件，行动发生了，这些事件，行动是必须被讴歌的，它们本身讴歌自己。

谁会怀疑诗歌将要复兴，导入一个新时代；就像天琴星座中，现在在天顶上发光的那一颗星，天文学家宣布说，它有一天将要成为海行者标志的北极星，达一千年之久。

--------张爱玲译
尊敬的会长先生，女士们，先生们：
我谨向你们恭贺一个新的文学年的开始。

我们的周年活动反映着我们对未来的希望，尽管我们还有很多工作要做。

我们的庆祝不像希腊人的运动会，为了比赛力气和运动技巧，或者是为了朗诵史诗、悲剧和合唱；也不像中世纪的浪漫诗人，大声吟唱情诗；也不像眼下英国或欧洲的同时代人，为了促进科学的进步，召开各种各样的峰会。

到现在为止，我们的活动只是一种象征，表明我们的人民虽然工作繁忙，无暇顾及文学创作，但在心中仍然保留着对文学的热爱。

正因为如此，这样的庆祝活动是值得我们倍加珍惜的，它说明热爱文学是一种无法消灭的本能。

我们这块大陆将要睁开它的睡眼，运用它那懒散的智慧，来满足世人对它多年的期望。

美国人除了机器、技术方面有所创见外，他们还会有更好的东西献给全世界。

我们依赖别人的日子，做他
国学徒的时代即将走到历史的尽头。

在我们周围，千百万青年正投入到火热的生活，他们不能老是依赖国外文化营养的“残羹冷炙”过活。

谁能够怀疑诗歌不会复兴，不会进入一个发展的新时代？就像天文学家发现的那颗在天琴中闪闪发亮的星星，谁能说它不会演变成一颗闪耀千年的恒星呢？
----------金叶译
二、翻译法
将英文译成中文再由中文回译成英文，在翻译实践中悉心体会英汉的差异，在实践中发现英语的特点/规则，排除汉语的干扰。

汉语：现实语言
英语：现实语法语言
不经过翻译法（不是教学翻译）的英语学习终究是肤浅的，只能学一点英语的皮毛，不可能登堂入室。

）
教材上的翻译练习（教学翻译）是为了某个语法点或语言点而设计（编造），不是真实语言材料，只看/只做这样的翻译，你会误以为（觉得）英汉句子在结构上没有什么差异。

“在英语学习的中高级阶段，必须进行翻译练习。

如果没有适量的翻译练习，英语总若浮萍，缺乏根基，难有精深的造诣，而且英汉互译最能体现英汉语言的差异。
