Section 1: Language Analysis of Unit 3 Snowbirds
Anybody who drives in Arizona at this time of year will be familiar with annual migration of “snowbirds” — retired people seeking to escape the subzero temperatures of the north for the warmer desert winter. As many as 300,000 snowbirds flock here each year, so if you haven’t seen them before, there’s a good chance that you will encounter one of them when you find yourself stuck behind a caravan with Nebraska license plates doing 40mph on a single-lane highway.
形合与意合
由于英语具有形合的特点，汉语 具有意合的特点，因此英语语篇中常 常存在许多结构复杂的长句，而汉语 语篇中句子却往往简洁短小。英汉两 种语言形合与意合的不同特点，对于 翻译的指导意义在于：进行英汉翻译 时，应首先分析句子的表层结构、逻 辑关系，进而确定句子的功能意义； 进行汉英翻译时，应首先分析句子的 功能意义，然后组织句子的结构，采 用不同的语言形式。
三、分译法 分译法是翻译长句时常用的方法。所 谓“分译”， 就是将长句的某些成分从句 子主干中拆开， 另作处理。运用分译法可 以使疑问层次清楚、简洁明确。当原句中 的从句或修饰语与主句间的关系不十分密 切时， 可以按照汉语多用短句的习惯把从 句或短语化为句子， 分开叙述。
Manufacturing process may be classified as unit production with small quantities being made and mass production with large numbers of identical parts being produced. 制造过程可分为单件生产和批量生产。单 件生产指少量的生产，批量生产指大量 相同零件的生产。
四、重新组合法 所谓“重新组合”， 就是脱离原句的 层次和结构的安排， 按汉语叙事论理的习 惯重新组合成句。运用重新组合法来翻译 可以摆脱原文语序和句子形式的约束， 使 译文自然、流畅， 更加符合汉语的表达习 惯。当原句的表达次序与汉语表达习惯不 同时， 则可打破原文词序和结构， 按照时 间顺序和逻辑顺序重组句子。这是长句翻 译中较难掌握的一种方法， 需要有较好的 母语和外语驾驭能力 。

1. Anybody who drives in Arizona at this
time of year will be familiar with annual migration of “snowbirds” —retired people seeking to escape the sub-zero temperatures of the north for the warmer desert winter.

Translate the following long sentences into Chinese. 1. Since the molecules of a gas are much too far from each other to repel or attract each other, it is very easy to compress a gas, while a solid or liquid is almost incompressible, because the repulsion of the electric charges of which its atoms are made up are far stronger than any force we can apply.
二、倒译法 倒译法是指颠倒英语长句的语序， 将 句子成分的前部分放到译文的后部， 或将 后面部分放到译文前面。这样易会更加符 合汉语习惯。
A student of mathematics must become familiar with and fix in mind the signs and symbols, the definitions and technical terms in mathematics, in order that he may be able to have the foundation of the mathematical subject and master it well for further study. 为了能打下数学基础， 掌握好数学，以 便进一步学习深造， 一个学数学的人必须 熟悉并牢记数学中所用的记号、符号、 定 义和术语。
一、顺译法 汉语的表达习惯是多用小句子， 多用较短的前置修饰语， 词语相对稳 定并通常按时间顺序或逻辑顺序来安 排词语和句子的先后位置。因此， 在 翻译英语长句时通常可采用“断句” 和“变序”的方法。如果原文所叙述 的一连串动作基本上按动作发生的时 间先后安排或原句的内容按逻辑关系 安排时，翻译时则可按照原文顺序译 出。
