自學(xué)高教自考英語(yǔ)翻譯技巧4英漢互譯時(shí)的詞性轉(zhuǎn)換 I.英語(yǔ)的名詞轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞：英漢兩種語(yǔ)言具有不同的辭語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)。在漢語(yǔ)里，一個(gè)句子可以有多個(gè)動(dòng)詞并排使用，不管有多少動(dòng)詞，都可以按照先后的順序一個(gè)一個(gè)地排下去；而英語(yǔ)則是一門靜止的語(yǔ)言，在同等條件下，選擇用名詞的情況居多數(shù)，例如：1.在名詞轉(zhuǎn)譯成動(dòng)詞的句子中：a. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears on Wednesday was a perfect index of how little I understood the pressures on her我星期三發(fā)現(xiàn)媽媽在流眼淚而感到震驚、尷尬，這就表明我對(duì)媽媽所承受的壓力知道的多么少。在這個(gè)句子當(dāng)中，shock，embarrassment，index等等都是英語(yǔ)趨向于用名詞而不用動(dòng)詞的最好例子b.

It is wise of him to deal with the delicate problem with care and with calmness.他很明智，在處理這一敏感問(wèn)題時(shí)及盡仔細(xì)和謹(jǐn)慎。b.

Of course，daydreaming is no substitute for hard work 當(dāng)然，白日夢(mèng)不可能代替艱苦的工作。另外，還有一些句子也大量用名詞而不用動(dòng)詞，翻譯時(shí)要特別注意詞性的轉(zhuǎn)換，如：g. That will help lead you to the attainment of your goals. 那會(huì)有助于你達(dá)到目標(biāo)。h. But in combination with the more usual methods of self-development，it might make a critical difference. 但是，如果與通常的自我發(fā)展的方法相結(jié)合，它就能產(chǎn)生很大的不同。i.
