3.4 Omission (省译法)
Opposite to the principle of amplification, omission is however not contradictory to it. On contrary, omission supplementary to amplification, omits what is considered necessary and indispensable in English may be deemed useless, superfluous and even encumbrance. This principal makes the version brief, concise and clear. For example,
1). Don’t get angry. I’m just making fun of you.
不要生气嘛！我不过开开玩笑罢了。

➢5、增加语气词或量词
汉语有许多语气助词，如“的”、“吧”、“呢”、 “啊”、“呀”、“嘛”、“吗”、“啦”、 “了”……不同的语气词可以发挥不同的作用，英汉互 译时需用心体验，以期译出从意义和修辞色彩等都符合 的译文。同时，英语中的数词（包括不定冠词a）与可 数名词直接连用，它们之间并无量词，而汉语往往要借 助量词。因此英译汉时，应根据实际情况恰当地增加表 示其形状、特征或材料的名量词。

3.3 Amplification (增译法)
By amplification we mean supplying necessary words in our translation work so as to make the version correct and clear, to make it more like the language translated into. Of course words thus supplied must be indispensable either syntactically or semantically. In other words, a translator is not supposed to add any meaning to the original.
