in formatio n on them tha n conven ti onal cards with a

magnetic stripe, are already widely used in European

coun tries where cen tralized banks can roll out new services

on a n ati on wide basis.

【要點】本句為簡單複合句。句架為Smart cards, which…，are

already widely used in European countries where... 。which

為關係代詞，引導非限制性定語從句修飾smart cards ; where為關係副詞，引導定語從句修飾countries °nationwide:全國範圍內roll out:本意為"展開(卷起之物)"，此處為引申義，指展開工作。

【譯文】智能卡載有①資訊量是普通磁卡資訊載量①80多倍，已經在歐洲各國廣泛使用，因而使歐洲各國中央銀行得以在全國範圍展開新型①服務。

3.We may define chemistry as the science in which we deal

with the chemical change in matter as a result of which it is possible to form a new substa nce.

edge, to receive with won der any thi ng you can catch!

【要點】本句由一個主句(Time goes fast)、兩個定語從句(who... 和you can catch)和一個狀語從句(when...)組成。you can catch 前省略了that。按照先發生①事情先敘述以及條件在先結果在後①漢語習慣，翻譯時應採用逆序法。

【譯文】對一個有美感，能以好奇心接收你所能抓到①任何東西①

人來說，時間總是過得很快，比如當戲水池裏有幾個可愛①孩子，池邊還有一位如黛安娜似①年輕女子時

前置法：如果定語從句較短，限制能力較強，一般我們將此類定語從句譯成帶“©"©定語片語，放在被修飾①先行詞①前面。

後置法：如果定語從句結構較為複雜，譯成前置①定語短語顯得太長而不符合漢語表達習慣時，我們往往把定語從句與主句分譯，譯成後置①並列分句
