• 拆译法 • 拆译单词 • 拆译短语 • 拆译复合句 • 拆译整个句子
• 缩译法 • 压缩短语或从句 • 复合句压缩成简单句
• In translation, if we follow the original sentence structure , we may find it hard to reproduce the original thought. Besides other ways to deal with this case, we may divide such a sentence into two or more parts by picking out those words, phrases or clauses which are “hard nuts to crack” and making them into Chinese word-groups, clauses or sentences, coordinate or subordinate.
• The time could have been more profitably spent in making a detailed investigation.
• (=If the time had been spent in making a detailed investigation, it could have been more profitable)
• (1) Determine which word(s) to pick out; • (2) Apply Conversion or Amplification, if necessary, to
make the translated version smooth and well-connected; • (3) Rearrange the word order according to the Chinese

• The prisoners are permitted to receive Red Cross food parcles and write censored letters.
• 那些囚犯得到允许，可以领取由红十字会提供的食品包裹，
也可以写信，不过所写信件要接受检查。
• 如果当初把时间花在做一番详细的调查上，收获就会更大。
• 英语很多句子中的某个词语，尤其是副词，看上去是修饰与 其相邻的某个成分，但实际上是对整个句子所陈述的内容进 行描述或评价。
• I had unforgivably, in a stealthy manner, peeped at her correspondence.
• Example:
• A crashing thunderstorm, with thick rain hissing down from skies black as night, stopped Victor Henry from leaving the White House.
• In division, we have to determine where to divide, how to divide, what the subject or the predicate of the new clause or sentence should be, and how to rearrange various parts of the original sentence. These may involve such techniques as Conversion, Amplification and Inversion.
Picking Out of Words
• It is advisable to pick out those words which are hard to reproduce in the original structure and expand them into Chinese word-groups, clauses or sentences. There are usually three steps to deal with such words:
