2、較松散，因此簡單句較多；英語強調(diào)形合，結(jié)構(gòu)較嚴密，因此長句較多。所以漢譯英時要根據(jù)需要注意利用連詞、分詞、介詞、不定式、定語從句、獨立結(jié)構(gòu)等把漢語短句連成長句l(1)根據(jù)原文各句之間的邏輯關(guān)系，在譯文的句與句之間加上連接詞語如and, but, with, so as to, while, for. 5Case 1l中國是個大國，百分之八十的人口從事農(nóng)業(yè)，但耕地只占土地面積的十分之一，其余為山脈、森林、城鎮(zhèn)和其他用地。 lChina is a large country with four-fifths of the population engaged in agriculture, but

3、 only one tenth of the land is farmland, the rest being mountains, forests and places for urban and other uses. 6Case 2l沒有農(nóng)業(yè)，人類便不能生存，社會生產(chǎn)也就不能繼續(xù)下去。l譯：But for agriculture, man could not exist, nor could social production proceed.l(2)原文是并列句，排比句。l我們不能出賣我們的國格，不能出賣我們的人民。 lWecanneithergiveupournationaldign

4、itynorbetrayourpeople. 7主從區(qū)分法主從區(qū)分法l漢語復(fù)句中往往不用關(guān)聯(lián)詞，分句之間的邏輯關(guān)系在很多情況下主要靠順序來表示，即采用所謂“意合法”。同時，漢語復(fù)句里接二連三出現(xiàn)的動詞，從形式上看，它們都是平等的，沒有主從，偏正之分；從邏輯上分析，分句之間也有主從之分。一般說來，凡是為主的分句即正句，用英語限定式動詞結(jié)構(gòu)來表達；從屬的分句即偏句，用非限定式動詞短語，介詞短語，或增加從屬關(guān)聯(lián)詞，或通過其他各種從句形式來處理。8Case 1l表示原因或結(jié)果的部分，一般應(yīng)從屬于表示結(jié)果的部分l他們患得患失，拒絕接受分配給他們的任務(wù)。lConsidering the gain and

6、lBy using our own hands we have attained the objective of “ample food and clothing”. 11Case 4l屬于修飾或說明關(guān)系的分句或短語，一般應(yīng)譯作從屬部分。l這個戰(zhàn)爭，在東方歷史上是空前的，在世界歷史上也將是偉大的，全世界人民都關(guān)心這個戰(zhàn)爭。lThe people of the whole world are concerned about this war,which has no precedent in the history of the East,and which will be a great w

7、ar in world history,too. 12Case 5l背景情況描述部分，一般應(yīng)從屬于結(jié)論部分l帝國主義國家對外侵略擴張，爭奪世界霸權(quán)，必然走向戰(zhàn)爭。lEngaged in aggression and expansion abroad for the purpose of the world hegemony, the imperialist inevitably will go to war. 13Case 6l否定或反說部分，一般應(yīng)從屬于肯定或正說部分。l國際爭端在此基礎(chǔ)上予以解決，而不訴諸武力威脅。lInternational disputes should be sett

8、led on this basis, instead of resorting to the use of threat or force.14正譯法和反譯法正譯法和反譯法l這兩種方法通常用于漢譯英，偶爾也用于英譯漢。所謂正譯，是指把句子按照與漢語相同的語序或表達方式譯成英語。所謂反譯則是指把句子按照與漢語相反的語序或表達方式譯成英語。正譯與反譯常常具有同義的效果，但反譯往往更符合英語的思維方式和表達習(xí)慣。因此比較地道。 15Case 1l在美國，人人都能買到槍。 l譯1：In the United States, everyone can buy a gun. (正譯)l譯2：In the

9、United States, guns are available to everyone. (反譯) 16Case 2l他仍然沒有弄懂我的意思。l譯1：He still could not understand me. (正譯)l譯2：Still he failed to understand me. (反譯) 17倒置法倒置法l在漢語中，定語修飾語和狀語修飾語往往位于被修飾語之前；在英語中，許多修飾語常常位于被修飾語之后，因此翻譯時往往要把原文的語序顛倒過來。倒置法通常用于英譯漢, 即對英語長句按照漢語的習(xí)慣表達法進行前后調(diào)換，按意群或進行全部倒置，原則是使?jié)h語譯句安排符合現(xiàn)代漢語論理敘事

10、的一般邏輯順序。有時倒置法也用于漢譯英。 18l我原來計劃今年二月訪問美國，后來不得不推遲，這使我感到很掃興。l在一句較長的中文后如果出現(xiàn)形容詞語，一般采取如下的方式：l譯：It was a keen disappointment when I had to postpone the visit which I had intended to pay to U.S. in February. l美國人以瘋狂的熱情追求富足的生活，卻又懷疑自己是否真正選中了致富的最佳捷徑，因此深受自我折磨之苦。見到美國人如此生活，旁觀者真是百思不得其解。lIts odd to watch with what fe
