5、进步,骄傲使人落后。译文为: Modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind.其中间加上了增连词whereas,以使英语的句子表达更加有逻辑性。二、减词考生要明白,英语的表达倾向简洁,汉语比较喜欢重复,重复作为汉语的一种修辞手法,在某种场合下,重复的表达一个意思,是为了强调,加强语气。汉语中为了有更强的节奏感和押韵,也经常会出现排比句。考生在翻译这些句子时,为了符合英文表达的逻辑,就要有所删减或省略。例如:这是革命的春天,这是人民的春天,这是科学的春天!让我们张开双臂,热烈拥抱这个春天吧!译文为:Let
6、 us stretch out our arms to embrace the spring, which is one of the revolution, of the people, and of science.以上的汉语是比较重复的排比句,汉译英时考生要遵守英语的逻辑表达,加上定语从句来翻译,这样英文句子读起来也朗朗上口。三、词类转换英语语言的一个很重要的特点,就是词类变形和词性转换,尤其是名词、动词、形容词之间的转换。例如:她的书给我们的印象很深。译文为:Her book impressed us deeply.在此翻译中汉语中的名词印象转化成英语中的动词impress。(1)蒙古
