1、第六章：常见句型的翻译,教学目的：要求理解并熟悉常见句型（含定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句等）的翻译，力求在英汉翻译时做到通顺、准确。教学内容：定语从句状语从句名词性从句翻译练习1、2、3,Attributive clauses are widely used in English.In many cases,sentences are made very long because of attributive clauses.Hence it is important to have a correct comprehension and an accurate translation of
2、 attribute clauses.Different attributive clauses may express different meaning such as purpose,concession,result and so on.An attributive clause usually follows the word it modifies.This is different from Chinese.In Chinese there is no post-position attributive and there cant be too many modifiers p
3、receding the modified word.All this causes changes in translating some sentences which contain attributive clauses.,定语从句的译法,I、译成前置定语 一般说来，限制性的定语从句可提前译成定语。还有一些定语从句，虽然并不明显地带有限制性质，但本身较短，和被修饰语的关系紧密，也可译成前置定语。1.To be sure,a great rebuilding project would give jobs to many of those people who need them.诚然，
4、一个宏伟的重建计划也许能为许多需要工作的人提供就业机会。2.This is the solider who just returned from Shenzhou VII.这是刚从神七回来(凯旋）的战士。,3.成都 一个你来了就不想离开的城市。ChengduA city you will never want to say goodbye after arrival.4.In recent years,however,people have begun to become aware that cities are also areas where there is a concentrati
5、on of problems.可是，近几年来人们开始意识到城市也是问题成堆的地方。,当然，有些起附加说明作用的非限制性定语从句，对先行词也有不同程度的修饰限制作用，有时也可以译为前置定语。5.The sun,which had hidden all day,now came out in all its splendor.那个整天躲在云层里的太阳,现在又光芒四射地露面了。6.He liked his sister,who was warm and pleasant,but he did not like his brother,who was aloof and arrogant.他喜欢热情愉
6、快的妹妹，而不喜欢冷漠高傲的哥哥。,II.译成后置定语 A、一些结构比较复杂，或者意思上有较强的独立性的限制性定语从句，通常可译为后置的并列句。采取这种译法往往要重复关系代词所代替的词，比如：有时可在此词之前加指示词“这”、“这些”或人称代词“他”、“他们”等等，来使译文明确。,But listen,I met a man,who said you could solve this problem.听着，我遇见一个人，这个人说你是有权解决这个问题的。8.Day light comes from the sun,which is a mass of hot,glowing gas.日光来自太阳，
7、太阳是一团炽热、发光的气体。,B、非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不十分密切，只是对先行词加以说明，描述或解释，或对整个句子所陈述的事实或现象加以总结、补充说明，其前都有逗号分开。在汉译时一般译为后置并列分句。如：11.He blamed me for everything,which I thought very unfair.他把一切错误都归罪于我，我认为这很不公平。12.These books,which are only a small part of my collection,I picked up in American.这些书是我在美国买,它们在我的藏书中只占一小部分。,13.S
8、he was very patient towards the children,which her husband seldom was.她对孩子们很耐心，而她丈夫却很少这样。14.They seem to enjoy those rewards which they had purchased by a course of unmerited fatigue,and by victories which almost exceeded belief.他们对那些酬劳看来是很得意的，那些酬劳是他们历经千辛万苦，通过取得令人难以置信的胜利得来的。,15.I told the story to J
9、ohn,who(=and he)told it to his brother.我把这件事告诉了约翰，约翰又告诉了他的弟弟。这种采取后置的办法来处理非限制性定语从句，一般也使用指示代词来重复英语关系代词所代表的含义。,16.There are many people who want to select this major.许多人要选这个专业。17.There is a man downstairs who wants to see you.楼下有人要见你。,III、溶合译法溶合法就是把原句子中的主语和定语从句溶合在一起译成一个独立句子的翻译方法。另外，由于限制性定语从句与主句的关系密切，所以
10、，限制性定语从句似乎更适合采用溶合法。英语中突出的“there be”句型就是这样处理的。,溶合法与“前置法”有何区别？,18.You are the only person who could do it.只有你才能做这件事。19.He has a son of twenty who is now at the college.他有个二十岁的儿子正在上大学。20.This was the first time I had serious trouble with my teacher.这是我第一次和老师发生严重纠葛（冲突）。,IV.译成状语 有些定语从句从形式上看是定语，但在意义上与主句有逻
11、辑状语关系，对主句其原因、结果、目的、条件、让步等状语作用，翻译时应尽可能按照其语法功能，译成与汉语相对应的复句。21.The computer,which seems to play the role of a human brain,is often called an electronic brain.由于计算机起着类似人脑的作用，所以常常被称作电脑。（译成原因状从）,22.She insisted on buying another pair of roller skates,which she had no use of.尽管用不着，她还是坚持再买一双溜冰鞋。（译成让步状从）23.L

17、）12.Though not in substance,yet in form,economic reforms are at first a nation-wide revolution.如果不就内容而就形式而言，经济改革首先就是一场全国性的革命。（让步状从译为条件状从）13.Why did you give up when you could make it?既然你能成功，干嘛要放弃呢？（时间状从译为让步状从）,14.If you can come,Ill be only too glad.你要能来，我就太高兴了。（条件状从译为原因状从）15.She sang resonantly,if

22、了原文句子结构的前后顺序，即：先主句，后从句。有时也可译为“据”的句型。如：It is reported that the Summit Meeting will be held in December.据报道，这个峰会将在月举行。,I.主语从句的译法,2.It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well;but on television everything is much more living,much more real.可能有人会提出，无线电广播同样能够做到这一点；但是在电视屏幕上，每个节目都显
23、得更加生动，更加真实。3.It is well known that alloy is a metal product containing two or more elements.众所周知（大家都知道），合金是一种含有两种或两种以上元素的金属产品。,B.“It+谓语（表语）+that”句型 这样的主语从句句型可处理为:(1)先把主句的谓语或表语部分译成独立语，然后顺译出从句；(2)颠倒原文句子结构，先译出从句，再译出主句。如：4.It is strange that she have failed to see his advantages.真奇怪，她竟然没有看出他的优点。5.It goe
24、s without saying that plants cannot grow without sunshine.毋庸置疑，没有阳光，植物就不能生长。6.It is quite obvious that the girl still loves you deeply.很明显，这个女孩依然深爱着你。,7.It is quite possible that someday John will come to see you again.总有一天约翰会来找你的，这是很有可能的哦!8.It is frequently the case that his car breaks down on the
25、highway.他的车在路上抛锚，这是常有的事儿。9.It is a matter of common experience that bodies are lighter in water than they are in air.物体在水中比在空气中轻，这是一种（大家共有的）常识。,10.It follows that the Chinese comrades consider Koreas cause as their own.由此得出，中国同志把朝鲜的事情看成自己的事情。比较上述各句，联系英汉民族思维差异：英语民族重直线思维，要点先给出，其他信息再一一增补；汉语民族重曲线思维，先侧面，
26、外围，后点处信息的重点。因而，英语（前重心）是头短尾长，汉语是（后重心），头大尾小。,C.有what,whatever,whoever,when,whether等引导出的主语从句通常可按正常语序译出。如：11.What is hard is to do good all ones life and never do anything bad.难得的是一辈子做好事而不做坏事。12.What the students find most difficult in English is its idiomatic usage.学生感到，英语最困难的地方是它的习惯用法。,13.Whatever was
27、 said her must be kept secret.这里说的每句话都应当保密。14.Who will monitor the class is not decided yet.谁当班长还没决定。15.When her parents will come hasnt been under consideration.她的父母什么时后到来还没有（纳入）考虑。,普通句型以从属连词、连接代词或介词引起的宾语从句汉译时，词序一般不变。如：16.I have not made up my mind as to what elective course I am to take net term.我
28、还有决定下学期上哪些选修课。17.This shows that something unexpected may have turned up.这表明可能出现了意外情况。,II.宾语从句的译法,18.Lei Feng always thought how she could do more for people.雷锋总是想到怎样为人民做更多的事。19.She was never satisfied with what she had achieved.她从不满足于她取得的成就。20.Zhang San replied that he was very sorry.张三回答说，他感到很遗憾。,
29、B.用it 作形势宾语的句子，汉译时，宾语从句可按原文译出，但it 可省译。21.I leave it to your own judgment whether you should do it.我让你自己判断，这件事该不该做。22.I made it clear to the students that they must hand in their assignments before 11 a.m.我给学生讲明，他们必须在上午11点前交作业。23.I think it quite true that he ventured out to Shangri-la.他又冒险去香格里拉了，我觉得
30、这件事千真万确。,C.英语中有时为了修辞强调，把宾语从句置于主句前，汉译时 也可遵从该修辞效果，顺序译出。如：24.Whether they like it or not,I dont care.他们喜不喜欢，我可不管。25.What they were asked to do in 10 days,they finished in two.让他们是天做的事，他们两天就做完了。,一般情况可以按原文译出。26.Thats what we should do.这正是我们的本分27.The question which worries everyone today is:how long will
31、these fuels last?今天人人都担心的问题是：这些燃料能维持多久？28.“If have seen farther than other man,it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants”(Newton)“要说我比别人望得远了一点，那是因为我已经站在了巨人的肩旁上。”（牛顿）,III.表语从句的译法,极少数的表语从句也可以按照汉语的表达习惯，把表语从句提前。29.That is why the“know-all”is ridiculous.“万事通”之所以可笑，原因就在于这个地方。30.That is why she
32、 is so happy.她如此高兴的原因就在这里。,表语从句译法总结：1、在“that(this)is why”结构中，如先译主句，后译从句就成了“这就是为什么”,“这就是为什么的原因（缘故）”；如先译从句，后译主句，常译为“的原因（理由）就在这里”。2、在“that(it)is because”句型中，常先译主句，后译从句，成为“这是因为”，“这是因为（由于）的缘故”。3、在“This is what”结构中，先主后从就译为“这就是的（内容）；若先从后主就译为“就是这个道理（意思）”。,英语中的同位语从句与其所修饰的名词（代词）处于同等地位，对其作进一步的解释。当然，同位语可以是单词、短语
33、或从句。同位语从句不提前31.There can be no doubt that he is qualified for the job.毫无疑问他能胜任这项工作。32.Can you produce any evidence that he was not at college that night?你能不能提出证明，断定那天夜里他不在这儿。,IV.同位语从句的翻译,33.I had no idea that you were here.我不知道你也在这儿。B.同位语从句提前34.There can be no doubt that she is competent for this jo

35、toms.我们都熟悉这样一个概念，即一切物质均由原子组成。38.Through many years practice of teaching foreign language,I have derived a new experience that translation is the best possible approach to studying Englsih.通过多年的外语教学经验，我获得了一条新经验：翻译是学习英语的最好办法。,39.They marvel at the fact China did it all on its own.他们对这个事实感到十分惊讶所有一切都是中国
36、凭自己的力量完成的。40.He was allowed to go climbing on condition that he kept near his teachers and classmates.允许他去爬山的条件是不能离开老师和同学。,That theory must go hand in hand with practice is a principle we should always keep in mind.It is a common knowledge that weight is a pull exerted on an object by the earth.Have you decided whom you are to nominate as your candidate?That is where you are wrong.We had to face the fact that our prospects were less than good.,1、理论联系实际一直是我们的准则（原则）。2、重量是地球作用在物体上的引力，这是大家都知道的。3、你是否已决定提名谁当候选人了？4、这正是你错的地方。5、我们不得不正视这样的事实：我们的前景并不妙。,
