(2007年, 49题)But his primary task is not to think about the moral code, which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration (of rules) (of conduct) (in business).(2006年, 49题)But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding (of the established conventions and special responsibilities) (of the news media.) (2007年, 48题)2) 非谓语动词形式的长后置定语:适用条件: 由非谓语构成的短语结构, 其逻辑上的主语就是被修饰的名词性结构.解决方法: 将其单独译为一个分句, doing表示主动/正在, done表示被动/完成,to do表示意愿/将来.On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge (made by some of his critics) that,while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning.(2008年, 48题)技巧之五:“宾语从句的翻译”总的原则: 英文中的谓语动词、非谓语动词和介词都可以带宾语, 也都可以带宾语从句.最常见的两种宾语从句类型:1) 普通宾语从句;2) it作形式宾语的宾语从句.1) 普通宾语从句:一般不改变原句顺序, 即采用“顺译法”.I don`t know how he swam across the river.我不知道他是怎么游过那条河的.They believe that they will surely win the game.他们相信他们肯定会赢得这场比赛. He would remind people again that it was decided not only by himself but by lots of others.他再三提醒大家, 决定这件事的不只是他一个人, 还有其他许多人.2) it作形式宾语的从句:翻译时it一般不必译出, 而真正的宾语从句一般可按原文顺序译出, 即采用“顺译法”.I made it clear to them that they must hand in their papers before 10 o`clock in the morning.我向他们讲得很清楚, 他们必须在上午十点之前提交论文.但有时候, 考虑到汉语的表达习惯, 译文中需要将真实宾语提前:I regard it as an honor that I am chosen to attend the meeting.被选中参加会议, 我感到很荣幸.采用此种译法时, 有时需要用“这”, “它”等对真实宾语进行重复.We consider it absolutely necessary that we should open our door to the outside world.打开国门, 实行开放, 我们认为这是绝对必要的. (it翻译为“这”)技巧之六:“表语从句的翻译”总的原则: 名词性从句的一种, 既可顺译, 也可逆译, 既可以与主句译为一个共同的简单句, 也可以单独译为一个分句, 要根据具体语境判断.1) 与主句合译为一个简单句:. Time factor is what we have to take into consideration.时间因素是我们不得不考虑的.2) 单独译为一个分句:. The question which worries everyone today is how long will these fuels last.今天人人都担心的问题是: 这些燃料能用多久.几种常见表语从句类型:1) that (this) is why…:解决方法:a) 如果采用顺译法, 可译为“这就是为什么… (的缘故)”;b) 如果采用逆译法, 可译为“…的原因就在这里”, “…的理由就在于此”.That is why practice is the criterion of truth and why the standard of practice should be first and fundamental in the theory of knowledge.所谓“实践是检验真理的标准”, 以及所谓“实践的标准应该是认识论首要的和基本的观点”,(这两种观点的理由)就在于此.2) this (it) is because:解决方法:此句型一般采用“顺译法”, 可译为“这是因为…(的缘故)”..

This is what we have discussed today.这就是今天我们讨论的内容.4) this (that) is where:解决方法:a) 如果采用“顺译法”, 通常译为“这就是…的地方”;b) 如果采用“逆译法”, 可译为“…的地方就在于此”.. This is where I disagree with you.这就是我不同意你的地方.技巧之七:“同位语 + 后置修饰结构”总的原则: 此结构中同位语一般为一个单词, 而后置修饰语的结构一般都比较复杂, 可以是定语从句, 也可以是分词或不定式结构.(05年, 47题, 48题).解决方法:将这种结构译为一个独立的分句, 同位语在分句中作主语或宾语.You might say that this is a problem of their own making, one that they could avoid simply changing their habits and hunting by day.也许你会说这是他们自己造成的问题, 通过改变生活习性在白天出来捕食, 它们可以轻松解决这一问题.And yet most of us have had the experience of having to adjust to sleeping in the mountains or the country-side because it was initially “too quiet”, an experience that suggests that humans are capable of adapting to a wide range of noise levels.我们大多数人都有过这样的经历: 如果在深山或者乡村睡觉, 必须作一些调整才能睡得着, 因为这些地方起初“太安静”了. 这一例子说明人类有能力去适应各种不同程度的噪音.技巧之八:“名词转译为动词”总的原则: 英语多用名词少用动词;汉语多用动词少用名词.1) 英语中由动词派生的名词和具有动作意义的名词, 很多时候可以转译为汉语中的动词:Rocket have found application for the exploration of the universe.火箭已经用来探索宇宙.The sight and sound of our jet plane filled me with special longing.看到我们的喷气式飞机, 听见隆隆的机声, 我感到特别神往.2) 英语中有些表示职业的名词(通常后缀为-er), 有时在句中并不表示身份和职业, 而是含有较强的动作意味或说明具有某种品质, 在汉语中没有恰当的对应名词时, 往往可译为汉语中的动词.As a successful career woman, she is also a good cook.身为一名成功的职业女性, 她做菜也做得很好.Some of my classmates are good singers.我同学中有些人唱歌唱得很好.技巧之九:“状语的翻译”总的原则: 状语两大类: “从句类” ; “非从句类”最常见的两种非从句类型:1) 副词作状语;2) 短语作状语 (介宾, 不定式).总的处理原则:1) 副词作状语 (较短):直接译为汉语中的状语.2) 短语作状语 (较长):将其译为一个分句.With a slight gesture she summons the Indian boy standing behind her chair, and whispers to him.她向站在她座位后面的印度男仆微微作了个手势, 示意他过来, 对他耳语一番.Flooded with calls, the company is maximizing profits by handling in city runs.叫车的人太多了, 公司便只接来往于市内的生意, 这样可以使利润最大化.技巧之十:“状语从句的翻译”总的原则: 状语从句分为两大类:“while型”和“非while型”.while引导的让步状语从句:(状语从句翻译中的难点)(2007, 50题; 2009, 48题; 2008, 48题;)难点: 判断while的不同含义.While I admit I did it, I didn`t intend to.尽管我承认是我做的这件事, 但我并不是有意的.“非while型”的两种基本翻译方法:1) 顺译法;2) 逆译法.1) 顺译法:When the storm had passed, we continued our way.暴风雨过后, 我们继续赶路.We can chop and change till we get someone who suits.我们可以变来变去, 直到我们找到一个合适的人.2) 逆译法:起因: “英语状语多后置, 中文状语多前置”.方法: “颠倒顺序(为了符合中文习惯)”. The students stood up before the teacher had come in.老师还没进来学生就站起来了.技巧之十一:“非谓语动词作状语”总的原则: 非谓语动词包括不定式, 动名词和分词, 非谓语结构在句中可作除谓语之外的多种句子成分. 其中非谓语动词作状语时, 其功能相当于状语从句, 修饰谓语动词.解决方法:与状语从句一样, 非谓语结构也可以用来表示时间, 原因, 结果, 条件, 让步, 方式等. 翻译时可译为一个分句, 并可增译相应连词来表明其与主句之间的逻辑关系.Coming from Iran, I have a keen interest in Middle Eastern science.因为我来自伊朗, 所以对中东的科技有浓厚的兴趣.Managed badly, email can be a waste of valuable time.如果管理不当, 电子邮件会浪费我们的宝贵时间.技巧之十二“被动语态的翻译”总的原则: 英语多被动, 汉语少被动.最常见的两种翻译方法:1)直译为汉语的被动句;2)转译为汉语的主动句.1) 直译为汉语的被动句:适用条件: 着重表达被动含义的英语被动句.解决方法: 直接翻译为汉语中的被动句, 汉语中表达被动意义的语言工具主要有”被, 受, 遭, 让, 给, 由, 把, 得到,受到, 加以, 得以, 为…所, 由…来”等The minister was found to have appropriated government money.部长被发现挪用公款.(部长挪用公款被发现.)He was praised by his teacher.他得到了老师的表扬.(他被老师表扬了.)Problems should be resolved in good time.问题应及时加以解决.(问题应得到及时解决.) (问题应被及时解决.)2) 转译为汉语的主动句 (六种译法):A. 保存原句主语;B. 原文主语转译为宾语;C. 增译主语;D. 译成汉语”无主句”;E. 译成汉语”判断句”;F. 被动句型”It + 被动语态+ that”的翻译.A. 保存原句主语:适用条件: 主语为无生命的名词, 且句中不出现由by引导的行为主体.解决方法: 被动句主语直接变为主动句主语.Water can be changed from a liquid into a solid.水能从液体变成固体.B. 原文主语转译为宾语:适用条件1): 句中由by引出动作的施动者.适用条件2): 介词短语构成的状语引出施动者.解决方法: 施动者变主语, 原主语变宾语.Heat and light can be given off by this chemical change.这种化学反应能放出热和光.Communication satellites have already been used for living transmission in our country.我国已将通讯卫星用于实况直播.C. 增译主语:适用条件: 句中未出现表示行为的主体.解决方法: 适当增添一些泛指性的主语, 如”人们”、”有人”、”大家”、’’我们”等.

(“先真后假”)三种方法:1) 按原句顺序翻译;2) 增译主语;3) 调整语序.1) 按原句顺序翻译:两种情况:A. 真实主语是”不定式短语(to do)”或”动名词短语(doing sth.)”, 整句可译成无主语的句子..

名词性从句翻译
名词性从句翻译名词性从句是一种从句,用作名词的作用,可以在句子中担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语或介词宾语。
名词性从句一般由连接词引导,包括连词that, whether/if , 连接代词who, whom, what, which, whoever,whomever, whatever, whichever, 连接副词when, where, why, how等等。
名词性从句的翻译要根据具体的上下文和句子结构进行灵活变通。
下面是一些常见的名词性从句的翻译示例:1. 主语从句:That he is late again is not surprising.他又迟到了并不奇怪。
2. 宾语从句:I don't know where she went.我不知道她去哪里了。

英语从句翻译方法
英语从句翻译方法英语多从句,汉语多分句:就句子种类而言,英语句子不但能够在简单句中使用很长的修饰语使句子变长,同时也能够用从句使句子变复杂,而这些从句常常经过从句指引词与主句或其余从句连结,整个句子只管表面上看盘根错节倒是一个整体。
汉语原来就喜爱用短句,加上表达构造相对松懈,所以,英译汉时需要将各样英语从句进行办理,能够译成一个汉语单句,也可译成多个汉语分句。
并依据汉语的表达习惯对英语复合句的关系部分(从句指引词)加以逻辑梳理,既分而叙之,又上关下联,承接变换,如同整容。
一名词性从句的译法名词性从句包含主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
下边我们便逐个阐述这些名词性从句的翻译方法。
1.主语从句1)由 what, whatever, whoever 等代词指引的主语从句汉译时一般可按原文次序翻译。
比如:What he said is true.译文:他说的全部都是真的。
Whoever violates the disciplines should be criticized.译文:谁违反了纪律,谁就应当遇到责备。
2)由 it 作形式主语指引的主语从句,翻译时视状况能够提早,也能够不提早。
比如:It doesn't make much difference whether you come yourself or send asubstitute.译文:你是自己来仍是派代理人来,都没关紧急。
(提早)It seemed inconceivable that the pilot could have survived the crash.译文:驾驶员在飞机坠毁以后居然还活着,这看来是不行想象的。
(提早)It is strange that she should have failed to see her own shortcomings.译文:这奇异,她居然没有看出自己的弊端。
(不提早)It isreported that our country has sent another spaceship.译文:据报导,我们国家又发射了一艘宇宙飞船。

考研英语名词性从句翻译如何“译”语中的
考研英语名词性从句翻译如何“译”语中的在主从复合句中,从句可以充当主句的主语、表语、宾语或同位语。
由于在多数情况下,主语、表语、宾语或同位语这四种句子成分由名词性词类充当,所以,我们把这些作用相当于名词的从句统称为名词性从句,把充当主语、表语、宾语或同位语的从句分别称为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句或同位语从句。
也就是说充当什么成分就叫什么从句。
名词性从句由连接词(或关联词)如hether,that,who,whom,whose,which,what,when,where,how,why等引导。
