英语从句的翻译 定语从句 状语从句
名词从句（主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句）

>>定语从句的翻译

无论是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句，翻译成汉语时是处理为前置定语还是后置定语，要视具体情况而定；有些定语从句和主句存在着状语关系，翻译时更要灵活对待。

It was what sentimentalists, who deal in very big words, call a yearning after the ideal, and simply means that women are not satisfied until they have husbands and children on whom they may center affections, which are spent elsewhere, as it were, in small changes.

It was what sentimentalists call a yearning after the ideal, and means that women they are not satisfied until they have husbands and children.
【大意】这就是情感主义者称之为对于理想爱情的渴望，简单说来，就是女人必须在有了丈夫和孩子之后才能感到满足。

who引导的定语从句who deal in very big words 用来修饰 sentimentalists (情感主义者) whom引导的定语从句on whom they may center affections用来修饰husbands and children
which引导的定语从句which are spent elsewhere,as it were,in small changes 用来修饰affections

一般情感主义者喜欢用大字眼,称之为对于理想爱情的渴望。换言之，他们认为女人的情感平时只能零星发泄，必须有了丈夫和孩子，情感收聚起来有了归宿，自己才能得到满足。

>>前置法：

如果定语从句较短，限制能力较强，一般我们将此类定语从句译成带“的”的定语词组，放 在被修饰的先行词的前面。

Those who sacrifice themselves for the people's cause are the real heroes of history.
We found a restaurant where the food was excellent.
There are other techniques that might help you with your English studying.
那些为了人们的事业而牺牲自己的人是真正的历史英雄。
我们发现了一家菜肴非常好的餐馆。
还有另外一些能帮你学英语的方法。

>>后置法：

如果定语从句结构较为复杂,译成前置的定语短语显得太长而不符合汉语表达习惯时，我们往往把定语从句与主句分译，译成后置的并列分句。

Christmas music is loved by all who hear and sing it everywhere.

斯特拉特福德是莎士比亚的故乡，是我向往的地方。
他收到一封信，说他父亲去世了。
我们的记录表明，很多年轻人，95%是男孩成了电脑迷。电脑成了生活的唯一。

>>溶合法：

当定语部分所给信息与被修饰词关系紧密必不可少时，可将原来的语序打乱，用自己的话将原句中的主句与定语从句重新组织，译成一个独立的句子。

There is a man down stairs who wants to see you.

>>具有状语职能的定语从句

有些定语从句在逻辑上相当于让步、条件、原因、结果等状语功能，这时可将此类从句译为 相应的状语分句。

司机在开车时，不许和人谈话，也不能走神。（表时间）

>>同位语从句

①同位语从句就是跟在名词后面，表达具体内容、起解释说明作用的从句。that 是其最常见 的引导词，不能省略。

②注意下列名词后面可接同位语从句：hope（希望）, fact（事实）, news（消息）, problem （问题）, conclusion（结论）, rumor（流言）, agreement（同意，协议）, belief（信仰）, concept（观念，概念）, idea（想法）, question（问题）, suggestion（提议）, thought（想法）, conviction（确信，定罪）, doubt（怀疑）, decision（决定，决心）, assumption (假定，设想）, evidence（迹象，证据）等。

1.如果同位语从句较短，我们可以考虑把它放在先行词之前

But the idea/ that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an special ordinary citizen/ rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibilities of the news media.
【意群直译】但是这种观点/记者必须比普通公民更深刻地理解法律/立足于对新闻媒体既定习俗和特殊责任的了解
【全句整合】但是“新闻记者必须比普通公民更深刻地理解法律”这种观点立足于对新闻媒 体既定习俗和特殊责任的了解。
【 解析 】 that 引导的同位语从句 ，that the journalist must understand the law more idea的具体内容，相当于汉语中的“……这一观点”。正是由于同位语从句的使用，使得这句话的主语较长，这句话的主干应当是 the idea rests on an understanding.

2. 如果同位语从句较长，放在先行词之前对其解释会使整个句子结构失去平衡，我们把它译成后置的并列分句。

In Europe, as elsewhere, multi-media groups have been increasingly successful: multitelevision, groups which bring together television, radio, newspapers, magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another.
在欧洲，像在其他地方一样，传媒集团越来越成功：这些集团将相关的电视、广播、报纸、杂志和出版社组合在一起。

3. 通过词类转换法，将引导同位语从句的先行词的性质进行转变。

On the other hand,/ he did not accept/ as well founded/ the charge made by some of made his critics/ that, while he was a good observer,/ he had no power of reasoning.
【意群直译】另一方面/他不接受/缺乏根据/他的一些批评家的指责/尽管他是个好观察家/他 不具备推理能

力
【全句整合】另一方面，某些人批评他虽然善于观察，却不具备推理能力，而他认为这种说 法也是缺乏根据的。
这里的名词 charge 是“指控”的意思，转换为动词即为“某些人批评他虽然善于观察，却不具备推理能力……”。

1. 时间状语从句

①引导时间状语从句的连词有 when, whenever, while, as, till, until, since, after 等。
②注意 as, when, while 的用法区别。as 强调时间上的“一先一后”，“同一时间”， 随着”之义；when 则强调某个特定的时间；while 表示的时间不是一点，而是一段。试比较以下三个句子中的时间状语从句：

1. Because they lived on the edge of the Persian Empire, they were ruled by the king of Persia.
2. Since/As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
在上述两个句子中， 引导的原因状语从句表示一种直接的原因，在上述两个句子中，Because引导的原因状语从句表示一种直接的原因，而 Since/As则表示一种人们所知的显而易见的事实。

1. 译成表示原因的分句

①条件状语的引导词有：if（如果）, unless（除非，如果不）, suppose（假设，假定）, in case (that)（如果，假使；以防万一）, in the event (that)（万一，倘若）等。
②两种条件句：
a. 真实条件句，表示现实的或可能会变为现实的条件，用直陈语气。例如：
If the weather is fine tomorrow, we shall go to the country. 非真实条件句，表示非现实的或不大可能会变为现实的条件，常用虚拟语气。例如：
b. 非真实条件句，表示非现实的或不大可能会变为现实的条件，常用虚拟语气。例如：

>>让步状语从句

①让步状语从句的引导词有：although, though, even if, in spite of the fact, whereas, (that)等 while, for all (that)等。
②注意 even if 与 even though 的区别：even if 意为“即使”，表述的内容不一定为即成事实；even though 则表示“尽管”，即尽管有什么样的事实存在。试比较以下两个句子：

①目的状语从句可由下列引导词引导：so that, so, in order that, in case, lest 等。
