常见句型的翻译.pptx

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 prehension and an accurate translation of 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 can’t be too many modifiers preceding 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,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。
Chengdu—A city you will never want to say goodbye after arrival.
4. In recent years, however, people have begun to e aware that cities are also areas where there is a concentration 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 es from the sun, which is a mass of hot, glowing gas.
日光来自太阳,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:
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
