3. 减译法
增译法的反面 减译法是指原文中有些词在译文中不译出来, 因为译文中虽无其词而已有其意,或者在译文 中是不言而喻的; 减译法是删去一些可有可无的, 或者有了反而 累赘或违背译文习惯表达法的词, 并不是把原 文的某些思想内容删去。
省译和增补是相辅相成的两种翻译技巧。省 译和分为结构省译和精炼压缩。 所谓结构省译是由于英汉两种语言在句子结 构上的差异造成的。在英译汉时经常省略的 词有代词、系词、介词、连词、冠词、先行 词等。 作主语和定语的人称代词以及做定语 的物主代词均可省译。 如果把结构省译看作是消极的省译手段，那 么精炼压缩则是积极的省译手段，前者明显， 后者隐晦。

英译汉时词类转换的核心是根据需要将具有 动作性的名词转换为汉语的动词，或者将可 表示概念的动词转换为汉语名词。 汉译英时则反其道而行之。

2. 增译法
为了使译文忠实地表达原文的意思与风格并 使译文合乎表达习惯,必须增加一些词语,这就 叫增译法. 增词义增加虚词为多，也可酌量增加实词。 英译汉时经常增加的词有结构词、数量词、 概念词、语气词等。 从增补的功能来看，可以分为结构增补、意 义增补和修辞增补。
