2018年考研英语长难句翻译方法指导

英汉词句组成和排列的顺序千差万别，因此英译汉时作些调整，颠倒一下顺序，则是一种极为常见的翻译技巧，这种翻译技巧共分五种类型。

1、复合句翻译技巧

复合句翻译可分为部分翻译和完全翻译两种技巧。

This university has newly established faculties, namely Electronic Computer, High Energy Physics, Laser, Geo-physics, Remote Sensing, and Genetic Engineering.这所大学现在有电子计算机、高能物理、激光、地球、物理、遥感技术、遗传工程等六个新建的专业。（部分翻译）

Many laws of nature actually exist in nature though they have not yet been discovered.虽然许多自然规律还没被发现，但是它们确实在自然界中存在。（完全翻译）

2、被动句翻译的技巧

被动句翻译时，有时可将被动句翻译成主动句，有时可将状语翻译成主语。

The structure of an atom can be accurately described though we cannot see it.虽然我们看不见原子结构，但能准确地描述它。（被动句翻译成主动句）

Table tennis is played all over China.中国到处都打乒乓球。（状语翻译成主语）

3、以否定型副词或条件副词开头的句子的部分翻译技巧

能引起这种翻译的副词有no, never, hardly, no longer, in no way, not until, not even, only 等。

Never before have I read such an interesting book.我从来没有读过这样有趣的书。

4、带有介词短语句子的部分翻译技巧

These data will be of some value in our research work.这些资料对于我们的研究工作有些价值。

5、习语的翻译技巧

习语的翻译可分为按照汉语的固定顺序翻译和从轻重上加以区分进行翻译以及逆时间顺序进行翻译三种技巧。

For its last 600 miles the Yellow River flows eastwards through the flat, fertile, North China Plain, which is densely populated.黄河最后的六百英里，向东流过平坦肥沃、人口密集的华北平原。（按照汉语的固定顺序翻译）

Heal the wounded, rescue the dying, practice revolutionary humanitarianism.救死扶伤，实行革命的人道主义。（以轻重上区分进行翻译）

We have to be quick of eye and deft of hand.我们必须眼疾手快。（逆时间顺序翻译）

句子成分转译作为翻译的一种技巧，其内容和形式都比较丰富，运用范围也相当广泛，共包括五个方面的内容。

1、主语转译技巧：可以将句子的主语转译成汉语中的定语、宾语、状语等。

The wings are responsible for keeping the plane in the air.机翼的用途是使飞机在空中保持不坠。（转译成定语）

To get all the stages off the ground, a first big push is needed.为了使火箭各级全部离开地面，需要有一个巨大的

2、谓语转译技巧：可以将谓语转译成定语。

3、宾语转译技巧：可以将宾语转译成主语。

Automatic lathes perform basically similar functions but appear in a variety of forms.各种自动车床的作用基本相同，但形式不同

4、定语转译技巧：定语可以转译成谓语和状语。

Neutron has a mass slightly larger than that of proton.中子的质量略大于质子的质量。（转译成谓语）

Scientists in that county are now supplied with necessary books, equipment and assistant, that will ensure success in their scientific research.现在已给该县科学家提供了必要的图书、仪器和助手，以保证科研工作的成功。（转译成状语）

5、状语转译技巧：状语转译一般指的是状语从句的转译。它可分作把时间状语从句转译成条件状语从句，把地点状语从句转译成条件状语从句和把原因状语从句转译成因果偏正复句中的主语等三种形式。

These three colors, red, green, and violet, when combined, produced white.红色、绿色和紫色这三种颜色如果合在一起就变成白色。（时间状语从句转译成条件状语从句）

Because he was convinced of the accuracy of this fact, he stuck to his opinion.他深信这件事正确可靠，因此坚持已见。（原因状语从句转译成因果偏正复合句中的主句）

重复技巧是英译汉中的一种必不可少的翻译技巧。由于英译汉时往往需要重复原文中的某些词才能使译文表达明确具体；又由于英汉语言结构不同，重复的手段和作用也往往不尽相同，大致可分为三种。

1、为了明确

I had experienced oxygen and /or engine trouble.我曾碰到过，不是氧气设备了故障，就是引擎出故障，或两者都出故障（重复名词）

Under ordinary conditions of pressure, water becomes ice at C and steam at 100C.在常压下，水在摄氏零度时变成冰，在摄氏一百度时变成蒸汽。（重复动词）

A locality has its own over-all interest, a nation has another and the earth gets another.一个地方有一个地方的全局，一个国家有一个国家的全局，一个地球有一个地球的全局（重复谓语部分）

2、为了强调

He wandered along the street, thinking and thinking, brooding and brooding.他在街头游来荡去，想了又想，盘算了又盘算。

3、为了生动

While stars and nebulae look like specks or small patches of light, they are really enormous

bodies.星星和星云看起来只是斑点，或者是小片的光，但它们确实是巨大的天体。

英译汉时，由于两种语言的句子结构大不相同而往往需要改变一下句子结构以适应于汉语的表达习惯。采用分句、合句进行翻译的作法正是为了达到这种目的而运用的一种重要技巧。所谓分句，就是指把原文的一个简单句译成两个或两个以上的句子；所谓合名，就是指把原文的两个或两个以上的简单句或一个复合句译成一个简单句。运用这种分句、合句的汉译技巧可以使译文层次分明，更合乎于汉语的表达习惯。分句翻译的技巧共分五种类型，合句汉译的技巧共分三种类型。先谈谈分句汉译技巧的五种类型。

1、主语分句汉译技巧。

A man spending twelve days on the moon would find, on returning to the earth, that a year had passed by already.一个人如果在月亮上度过了十二天，回到地球以后就会发现一年已经过去了。

2、谓语分句汉译技巧。

It goes without saying that oxygen is the most active element in the atmosphere.不言而喻，氧气是大气中最活泼的元素。

3、定语分句汉译技巧

He managed to raise a crop of 200 miracle tomatoes that weighed up to two pounds each.他居然种出了二百个奇迹般的西红柿，每个重达两磅。

4、状语分句汉译技巧

Sunrays filtered in wherever they could, driving out darkness and choking the shadows.阳光射入了它所能透过的地方，赶走了黑暗，驱散了幽影。

5、同位语分句汉译技巧。

Mary normally a timid girl, argued heated with them about it.玛丽平常是个腼腆的姑娘，现在也热烈地和他们辩论起来。

第二篇：2018考研英语长难句翻译讲解

2018考研英语长难句翻译讲解（2）

长短句是考研英语的一大重难点，打好长短句翻译基础，将会给我们的翻译和作文带来巨大的帮助。

1.That kind of activity makes it less likely that the court's decisions will be accepted as impartial judgements.【分析】复合句，主句为 That kind of activity makes it less likely, it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是 that 引导的名词性从句。

【译文】这类行为使得法院的裁定被认为是公正判决的可能性有所下降。2.Constitutional law is political because it results from choices rooted in fundamental social concepts like liberty and property.【分析】复合句。主句为 Constitutional law is political。because 引导原因状语从句;其中分词短语rooted in...作定语修饰 choices, 介词短语 like liberty and property 修饰 concepts。

【译文】宪法是由植根于自由和所有权等基本社会观念的选择造成的，因此它是政治性的。

3.Those forced to exercises their smiling muscles reacted more enthusiastically to funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, suggesting that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around.【分析】复合句。主句为 Those...reacted more enthusiastically to funny cartoons，过去分词短语forced to...作后置定语修饰 those。than 引导比较状语从句，该从句中的主语 those 由定语从句修饰，因其较长，谓语又因与主句重复而省略为 did，所以用倒装语序。suggesting...为现在分词结构作结果状语，其中包含 that 引导的宾语从句。

【译文】那些用牙齿咬着笔，表现出笑容的人比那些用嘴唇叼着笔、表现出沮丧神情的人在看搞笑的动画片时所作出的反应更丰富。这就证明了表情能够影响情绪，而不是情绪影响表情。

【拓展】1)contract 作名词时意为“契约，合同;婚约”;作动词时意为“缔结，订契约;染上(恶习，疾病等);(使)收缩，(使)紧缩”。2)frown“皱眉，蹙眉”，既是动词也是名词。

4.An awareness that they were being experimented upon seemed to be enough to alter workers's behavior by itself.【分析】复合句。句子主干为。An awareness...seemed to be enough to alter...。that 引导同位语从句补充说明awareness，其中 they 指代后面的 workers。Be enough to do “足以...”。

【译文】只要意识到她们在接受实验，这一意识本身似乎就足以改变工人们的行为。

2018考研英语长难句翻译技巧：分句法

长难句是考研英语翻译和阅读中常见的一个难点，是考生必须要攻克的壁垒之一。攻克长难句的指导思想就是拆分解读，需要考生配合相应的一些技巧，本文中要分享的就是长难句翻译的分句法，大家理解学习。

2018考研英语长难句翻译技巧：分句法

分句法，有时英语长句中主语或主句与修饰词的关系并不十分密切，翻译时可以按照汉语多用短句的习惯，把长句的从句或短语化成句子，分开来叙述，为了使语意连贯，有时需要适当增加词语。例如：

例 1.The number of the young people in the United States who can`t read is incredible about one in four.上句在英语中是一个相对简单的句子，但是如果我们按照原文的句子结构死译，就可能被翻译成：

没有阅读能力的美国青年人的数目令人难以相信约为 1/4。这样，就使得译文极为不通顺，不符合汉语的表达习惯，因此，我们应该把它译为：大约有 1/4 的美国青年人没有阅读能力，这简直令人难以置信。

例 2.Television,it is often said,keeps one informed about current events,allow one to follow the latest developments in science and politics,and offers an endless series of programmes which are both instructive and entertaining.(85 年考题)

分析：在此长句中，有一个插入语“it is often said”，三个并列的谓语结构，还有一个定语从句，这三个并列的谓语结构尽管在结构上同属于同一个句子，但都有独立的意义，因此在翻译时，可以采用分句法，按照汉语的习惯把整个句子分解成几个独立的分句，结果为：人们常说，通过电视可以了解时事，掌握科学和政治的最新动态。从电视里还可以看到层出不穷、既有教育意义又有娱乐性的新节目。

下面我们再举一个例子：

例 3.All they have to do is press a button,and they can see plays,films,operas,and shows of every kind,not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match.(85 年考题)

他们所必须做的只是按一下开关。开关一开，就可以看到电视剧、电影、歌剧，以及

其他各种各样的文艺节目。至于政治问题的辩论、最近的激动人心的足球赛更是不在话下。
