2、又可以把一个英语复合句或两个甚至两个以上的英语简单句译成一个汉语简单句。这种增减句量的翻译方法称为分译法和合译法。,分译法,由于汉语习惯上一般不使用长句，因此在英译汉时，往往要把原句中较长的句子成分或不易安排的句子成分拆开来，译成汉语的分句或从句，以使译文通顺流畅，层次分明，更加合乎汉语的习惯。,一.单词的分译,有的英文句子虽不长，但照译时译文很别扭，尤其是原文中个别单词很难处置，不拆开来译便不通顺或容易发生误解，这时往往可把这种单词译成一个分句或单句。,（一）副词的分译,1.The Chinese seemed justifiably proud of their economic achi
3、evements.,中国人似乎为他们经济建设上取得的巨大成就感到自豪，这是合乎情理的。,2.Jerry quickly ordered everyone to put on life jackets,and tried unsuccessfully to put out the fire.,杰里立即叫大家穿上救生衣，并且奋力灭火，但却没有成功（无济于事）。,3.The time could have been more profitably spent in making a detailed investigation.,如果当初把时间花在细致的调查研究上，好处就更大了（益处就更多了）。,（

6、它价钱昂贵,限制了批量生产。,2.The dust,the uproar and the growing dark threw everything into chaos.,烟尘滚滚,人声嘈杂,夜色渐深,一切都陷入混乱之中。,二.短语的分译,短语的分译是指把原文中一个短语译成句子,使原文的一个句子分译成两个或两个以上的句子.这种现象在英译汉中比单词的分译更为常见.英语中能提出来分译的短语,通常有分词短语、介词短语、动词不定式短语和名词短语.,(一)分词短语(包括分词独立结构)的分译,由于使用了电子计算机,复杂问题迅速而精确地得到了解决。,1.Electronic computer being

17、译成一个单句，或把主从复合句及并列复合句合译成一个单句。合译法可省掉一些重复的词语或句子成分，使译文更加紧凑、明确，更加符合汉语习惯。但合译时可能会失去原文的强调意义，容易发生漏译，因此，翻译时必须仔细推敲，从译文的整体上加以考虑，灵活处理。,(一)单句的合译,1989年4月2日清晨，飞机驾驶员在待命室接受飞行任务。,1.It was on the early morning of April 2,1989.The pilots were briefed in the ready room.,2.His eyes were triumphantly cold.There was no ligh
