英语比较结构的翻译优秀课件
• 英语中常见的比较结构主要包括比较级， 递增或递减式比较，强化式比较，否定式 比较，选择式比较等。
一、比较级
• 比较级包括超越、相等和差逊三种情况。 • 1）超越。表示超越的比较结构主要有： • better than（胜过，优于）， • more than+从句（多余，超过）， • “than +关系代词”的从句（再……不过）， • superior to（占优势，比……胜一筹）。
• He didn’t so much as ask me to set down.
• 他甚至没有请我坐下。 • He cannot so much as spell a
word.
• 他甚至连一个词也不会写。 • He hadn’t so much as his fare
（这人就是我。）
一、as…as…句型
（一）as…as…句型
as…as…句型是同级比较，表示两 者比较程度一样。所以在翻译的时候，
通常翻译为“…和….一样”。
你来译： 她和以前一样对音乐感兴趣。
She is as much interested in music as ever.
二）not as (or so)…as…句型
• 例如：
• Doing is better than saying.百说不如 一做
• She has talked more than what is necessary.她说了一些多余的话 He is superior to his elder brother. 他比他哥哥强
• He is a scholar than whom no man ever will be more honest.
• 他是个再诚实不过的学者了。

第三讲-英汉句式对比与翻译讲义全
第二讲英汉句式结构比照与翻译如果说词是最小的可以独立运用的意义单位，那么句子是语言的根本运用单位。
一般情况下，进展语篇翻译时，无论是英译汉还是汉译英，根本上都是以句子为翻译单位的。
尤其是英译汉时，即使是一个很长的句子，一般也要将整个句子通盘考虑，搞清整个句子的逻辑关系才能将句子翻译成既能忠实传达原文信息、风格、逻辑关系又能保持通顺的中文。
如果是汉译英，有时句子较长，可以根据意群进展切分，然后将切分开的句子逐句译为英文。
将英汉两种语言的句式结构进展比照，了解两种语言在句式结构上的异同之处，对翻译来说是非常重要的一环。
一、英文句式结构英文句式结构根本上都可以归纳为主谓结构，即S+V〔主语+谓语动词〕的结构，即使是祈使句，也不过是省略了主语的句子。
英文的句子结构在S+V的结构上可以扩展，但总不外乎五种根本变化。
〔1〕S+V：He langhed.〔2〕S+V+Ｏ：Mary is reading Harry Potter.3〕S+V+Ｏ＋Ｏ.c.We heard them quarrelling.〔4〕S+V+I.O+D.CHe gave me some first-hand marerial.〔5〕S+link.V+PHe is in dangerous situation.以上这些句型充分显示出英文的根本句式结构是主谓结构，而且这是一种高度语法化的句式结构，其中主语一般是动作的发出者〔doer\agent)或动作的承受者〔doee)，即整个句子分别为主动语态和被动语态。
用上述主谓结构来套中文的句子模式，有一局部汉语句子与上述英语句子根本是对应的。
例〔1〕至〔5〕的意思，中文也有与英文相似的结构，分别为：〔１〕Ｃ：他笑了。
〔２〕Ｃ：玛丽在读《哈里.波特》。
〔3〕C：我们听见他们争吵。
〔4〕C：他给我一些一手资料。
〔5〕C：他处于危险的境地。
/他处境危险。
二、中文句式结构〔一〕主谓结构〔S + V 〕例1：他没来。

B． 由no more/less than ，no more/less…than…, not…any more than引导的句子
① 由no more than , no more…than… 和not…any more than引导，表示 前者与后者一致，翻译为： “不…正如…不”、“…和…一 样（不）”。例如：
2．差比句式
• A．由more… than, less… than 引导, 通常 可译作“与其说…不如说…”。例如:
*两个形容词相比：
• ------He is more diligent than clever. • 与其说他聪明，不如说他用功。 • ------It seems that I hadn’t the faintest idea what “this matter” was, but I was more annoyed than interested. • 我一点儿也不知道“这件事”是指什么， 但我兴趣不大，倒觉得厌烦。
More than 用在形容词前，译作“分 外”、“非常”、“岂止…而已”。
• -------Reagan was more than cordid to Ford as they met for 65 minutes. • 在65分钟的会谈中，里根对福特表现得分外 亲切。 • ------To our great surprise, they were more than delighted to stay in the crowded town. • 令我们大为惊讶的是，他们竟很乐意呆在拥 挤不堪的城里。
• 伽利略观察的第一个天体自然是月球。他所 看到的已不再仅仅是被人们相象成各种形态 的阴影。
More than用在动词前，译作： “不仅仅”、“远远”、“大 大地”
• ------You will come to understand that the gold medals will more than bring you honor. • 你会逐渐明白金牌不仅仅给你带来荣誉。
② 由no less than 或 no less…than…引导，相当与 as…as…, 通常翻译成“同样”， “既…也...”例如：
• ------As regards our foreign policy, it is no less our interest than our duty to maintain the most friendly relations with other countries. • 关于我们的对外政策,维持和其他国家的友好 关系,既是我们的义务,也同样是我们的利益。
B．由more than引导的比较句 用在名词前，译作:“不仅仅是”,“不 只是”（与no more than恰恰相反， 它是“只是”“仅仅”的意思）。
• ------The first object observed by Galileo, naturally enough, was the Moon. He was the first to see more than the shadows that people’s imaginations has made into shapes.
B．否定词＋比较级结构和类似nothing is more…than, few things are more…than, nothing is as…as这样的结构，常译作 “没有…比…更…”或“最… ”。
• 像她丈夫所期望的那样，这件礼物让她很 高兴。 • ------Army and people are as inseparable as fish and water. • 军民关系，如同鱼和水一样，密不可分。
含有否定意义的情况：
• ------It is a pity that journalists aren’t a tenth as good at receiving criticism as they are at dishing it out.
