分句、合句法
很多情况下,翻译句子的时候,需要调整原来的句子结构,分句法和合句法是调整原文句子的两种重要的方法。所谓分句法就是把原文的一个简单句译为两个或两个以上的句子。所谓合句法就是把原文两个或两个以上的简单句或一个复合句译成一个单句。
I.分句法
汉译英时,需要分译的句子多数是长句,或者是结构复杂的复句。这种句子如果译成一个长句,就会使译文冗长、累赘、意思表达不清楚,也不符合英文习惯。
如果采用分译,则会使译文简洁、易懂、层次分明。如以下五个例子:
例1. 少年是一去不复返的,等到精力衰竭时,要做学问也来不及了。(按内容层次分译)
译文: Youth will soon be gone, never to return. And it will be too
late for you to go into scholarship when in your declining years.
例2. 她隔窗望去,突然发现有只小船停泊在河边,船里有位船夫睡得正香。(从主语变换处分译)
译文: Looking through the window, she suddenly spotted a boat moored
to the bank. In it there was a boatman fast asleep.
例3. 声速随温度的升降会有轻微的增减,但不受气压的影响。(从关联词处分译)
译文: The speed of sound increases slightly with a rise in temperature
and falls with decrease in temp
erature. It is not affected by the
pressure of the air.
例4.
我们的政策是实行“一个国家,两种制度”,具体说,就是在中华人民共和国内,有着十多亿人口的大陆实行社会主义制度,香港、台湾地区实行资本主义制度。(原文出现总说或分述时要分译)
译文: We are pursuing a policy of “one country with two systems.” More
specifically, this means that within the People’s Republic of China,
the mainland with its more than one billion people will maintain the
socialist system, while Hong Kong and Taiwan continue under the
capitalist system.
例5. 我们主张对我国神圣领土台湾实行和平统一,有关的政策,也是众所周知和不会改变的,并且正在深入人心。(为了强调语气而采用分译)
译文: We want peaceful reunification with Taiwan which is part of our
sacred territory. Our policy in this regard is also known to all and
will not change. The desire for peaceful reunification of the
motherland is taking hold in the hearts of the entire Chinese
nation.
II.合句法
英汉两种语言的句子结构不完全相同,尽管英语句子日趋简洁,但是从句套从句,短语含短语的句型也是频频出现。一般而言,一个英语句子的信息包含量要大于一个汉语句子,因此,我们在做汉译英的时候,常常把汉语的两个句子,甚至更多句子,合译成英语的一句。使用合句法还可以使译文紧凑、简练。如以下三个例子:
例6:一代人与一代人之间的冲突,也就是年轻人与老年人的冲突,似乎是最可笑的。因为这就是现在的自己与将来的自己,或者说过去的自己与现在的自己的冲突。(在关联词处合译)
译文:A conflict between the generations between youth and age seems
the most stupid, for it is one between oneself as one is and oneself
as one will be, or between oneself as one was and oneself as one is.
例7:对我来说,我的水族箱就像我自己的一个小王国。我就是里面的国王。(从主语变换处合译)
译文:To me my aquarium is like my own little kingdom where I am king.
例8:第二天,我又接到一个电报。这个电报有34个字,比前一个电报说得更详细。(按内容连贯合译)
译文:The following day I received another telegram consisting of 34
ciphers, giving more details.:)

四级翻译经典题型与解析(答案)
答案
1.【答案】By contrast, their class is made up of male students only.或By contrast, only male students constitute their class.
【解析】本题的主要考点在于固定搭配。表达“相比”或“与……相对”之意可用词组by contrast,而“组成”之意可使用前文提到的动词constitute也可使用词组be made up of。
2.【答案】in hopes that we could arrive at the airport on time或in hopes that we could reach the airport on time又或in hopes that we could make it to the airport on time
【解析】本题的主要考点在于固定搭配。通过分析前半句
可知,“希望”并非句子的谓语,因此不可直接使用动词hope,而应使用固定搭配in hopes that意为“怀着……的希望”。“准时”之意考查的是比较基础的词组on time,此处应注意其与表达“即时”之意的in time相区别。而“赶到”之意可用arrive at或reach,也可用表达“成功地……”之意的固定搭配make it to。
3.【答案】The fact that these problems are continually showing up或The continual appearance of these problems
【解析】本题的考点在于语法。通过分析句子结构可知,本句谓语为suggest,所以需要翻译的部分充当句子的主语,故可以考虑使用从句或使用名词性词组。需要注意的是使用从句时应根据语法需要补出汉语中没有体现出的部分the fact,使句子结构完整。
4.【答案】he owes his success to his parents encouragement或He attributes his success to his parentsencouragement
【解析】本题考点在于固定搭配。“把……归功于”或“把……归因于”可使用词组owe...to...或attribute...to...。本题另一个易错之处在于所有格的使用。以-s结尾的复数名词所有格只需加。
5.【答案】We must awaken people to the importance of environment protection
【解析】本题主要的考点在于固定搭配。表达“唤醒……对……的注意或警惕”之意应使用动词词组awaken...to...。另一需要注意的地方时所有格的使用。本题中“环保的重要性”不可用s表示,而应使用of结构。
6.【答案】he would have acted differently或He would have acted in a different way
【解析】本题主要考查语法,考点是虚拟语气。由句意提示可知,本句是if引导的虚拟句,表示对过去情况的假设。由于前半句出现了had加动词的过去分词,后半句应使用would加have done的结构。
7.【答案】As long as you keep working hard或As long as you work hard all the time
【解析】本题考点在于固定搭配。表达“只要……”之意可用词组as long as...,而提示中出现的“一直”则可使用动词词组keep doing...,意为“一直或持续做某事”,也可考虑用all the time来表示时间。
8.【答案】so is every father
【解析】本句主要考点为语法,考查倒装结构。当so表示“同样”或“也……”之意时,其后的句子需要倒装。翻译本句时还要注意every father作主语时谓语应为单数形式。
9.【答案】where the development of the information highway will lead us
【解析】本题的主要考点在语法,考查考生对从句的掌握情况。由提示可知,从句应由where引导,且考生应特别注意从句不能为疑问句语序而应为陈述句语序。关于从句的时态选择,根据中文提示可清楚判断为一般将来时。
10.【答案】Hardly had he arrived home或He had hardly arrived home
