翻译成汉语的主动句

  将英语中的被动结构翻译成汉语的主动结构时,往往可以分成以下几种不同的情况。

  ① 保留英语原句中的主语。

  例如:

  1)All the tickets had been sold out when they arrived.

  当他们到达时,所有的票都售完了。

  2)Theatre will be reinvented and become much freer and more imaginative.

  戏剧将脱胎换骨,变得更为自由,更富想象力。

  3)Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

  核能对健康、安全、甚至对生命本身所构成的***可以用一个词来概括:辐射。

  ② 将主语翻译为宾语。

  在动作发出者不言自明或难以言明时,英语常用被动句。而汉语在这种情况下,往往需要添加“有人”、“大家”、“别人”、“人们”之类的泛称主语。例如:

  1)I was told not to trust what I read in the newspaper.

  有人告诉我不要相信报纸上的消息。

  2)It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well, but on television everything is much more living, much more real.

  可能有人会指出,无线电广播同样也能做到这一点,但还是电视屏幕上的节目要生动、真实得多。

  3)It is generally accepted that the experiences of the child in his first years largely determine his character and later personality.




词性的转换

常见的情形有:名词转为形容词,名词转为副词,名词转为动词,形容词转为动词,形容词转为名词,形容词转为副词,动词转为名词,动词转为形容词,副词转为名词,副词转化成动词,副词转为形容词,介词转为动词等等。例如,

例1.The package types of CPUs show ciderable variety.

CPU的封装形式是多种多样的。(名词转为形容词)








  长句直译的误区

  在较长的英语句子中存在着比较复杂的关系,很难按原则顺序用一句汉语表达出来,这就要根据英文句子的特点和内在联系进行意译,不能直译的长句主要有三种处理方法。

  1. 根据句子内在的逻辑关系和汉语的表达习惯进行翻译。例如:

  There are advantages to underground life, too, and something to be said for imaging whole cities, even mankind generally, moving downward, of h***ing the outermost mile of the Earth's crust honeycombed with passage and strue-ture, like a gigantic ant hill.

  这是一个倒装句,表示设想条件与结果关系,按这一关系来译比直译好,家似的建筑物,一座座城市都迁入地下,甚至全人类都迁入地下生活,这也会给人类带来很多好处。

  The chances are that the dwellers of the new c***es would see more greenery, under ecologically healthier conditi, than dwellers of surface cities do today.

  这个句子并不复杂,但不好译。这个句子有三层关系,比较、条件和结果,按这种逻辑关系翻译就十分省

事。

  '同今天地面城市里的居民相比,新洞穴里的居民如果在比较健康的生态环境中生活,会有更多的机会见到青枝绿叶。'
