33、句常用的翻译方法A倒译法对限制性和非限制性定语从句都适用，不过更多地用于不太复杂的限制性定语从句1.Those who want to go please sign their names here.想去的人请在这儿签名。2.James Russll is a man for whom I have the greatest respect.詹姆斯.罗索是我最尊重的人。3.Go back further, to a world where the steam engine and allied inventions had not yet enabled industrialization.再

35、制性定语从句都能够用到分译法，但这种方法更多地适用于非限定性定语从句。运用分译法有两种方式：反复关系代词所指代的含义和省译关系词。1反复关系词所指代的含义6.He is with his youngest brother, who is accompanying him on his tour in China.他和他的小弟弟在一同。他的小弟弟正陪同他在中国旅游。7.I have to book ahead for concerts, which are usually held in London.我得预购音乐会的票。这些音乐会通常在伦敦举行。8.The critical value is

38、eading, which I was glad to hear.他说他喜欢读书，我听了感到很高兴。13.On the ground floor he had a store where he sold canned goods.他在底楼有个铺子，出卖罐头制品。C. 主从合译法有时我们可以将英语的主句和定语从句紧缩译成汉语的一个单句。原文的主句在译文中被紧缩成汉语单句的一个句子成分。适用于这种译法的多数是主句为there be句型的英语句子。14.There are many foreign tourists who want to visit the Great Wall.许多外国旅游者想游

39、览长城。15.There is no reason why he shouldnt come.他没有不来的理由。16.He has been suffering from al kind of disease for which the cure is possible.他得的那种病是可以治疗的。17.That was the way she looked after us.她就是这样照顾我们的。II句法构造特殊的定语从句的识别与译法A 分隔型定语从句定语从句与先行词分隔往往是由以下几种情况呵斥的。这类定语从句经常倒译为前置定语。 1先行词与定语从句之间有另一个作定语的短语18.He live

40、d in the house near us which was wrecked.他住在我们附近的一座破房子里。19.There is no habit so old but may(=that may not) be cured by a strong willpower.只需有坚强的毅力，没有什么改不了的旧习惯。2句子的状语较短，而修饰宾语的定语从句较长20.I put the books in the cupboard which you read yesterday. 我把他昨天读过的那些书放在橱柜里了。3先行词是主句的主语，而主句的谓语较短，为了句子平衡而把定语从句放在主句谓语的后面

41、21.A war broke out which lasted for forty years.一场延续了40年的战争迸发了。22.Hardly a man came to the exhibition but was (=who was not) deeply impressed by the originality of his works.来观赏展览会的人几乎无不深深感到他作品的新颖风格。B双重限制性定语从句顾名思义，双重限制性定语从句是指两个定语从句修饰同一个先行词。翻译这类定语从句要留意按汉语习惯安排两个从句的顺序。23.There was one thing he told me which I dont believe.他给我讲的有一件事我不置信。24.Cay you mention anyone that we know who is so talented as he?他能举出一个我们认识的像他这样有才干的人吗？A复杂型定语从句25.Standing by a fine model of FujiYama was the boy who everyone thought would be chosen the winner by the judges.站在那辆式样很好的富士山牌模型车旁的男孩，大家都以为他会被裁判员选为优胜者。26.Brill worried
