四级翻译练习及方法

1、.,中译英,语法和词汇是重点 1.首先要判断出待翻译部分在句中的功能、结构和形式。也就是充当什么成分，是否需要被动、倒装和虚拟。 2.选词要确切，特别注意搭配是否正确，不要混用近义词和形近词 3.翻译后要通读句子，检查拼写、用词、语法和逻辑关系，检查句子是否完整，主谓是否一致，代词和名词是否一致，是否遗漏了结构词、介词,.,Part 1.八种常考语法要点,Part2. 三种常考词汇要点归纳,.,Part 1.八种常考语法要点,比较结构 用于表示“与相比”的短语 状语从句 名词性从句 定语从句 虚拟语气 倒装结构 并列成分,.,比较结构,常考的考点包括原级和比较级结构， as+形容词/副词原级（

2、+n.) +as； more+形容词/副词比较级+than, no+形容词/副词比较级+than， a bit/a little/a lot/even/far/greatly/many/ much/ slightly/still+形容词/副词比较级 no less than“（数目）”多达；与同等重要 no more than “至多，仅仅” no better than “实际上与一样”,.,比较结构示例1 返回,On average, it is said, visitors spend only _(一半的钱）in a day in Leeds as in London. 这里考察的是倍

3、数的表达，后半句有明确的“as”一词。根据倍数的表达公式，空缺部分先填上数字half,接着填as,由于修饰的是钱，不可数，形容词用much，最后是名词money,即：half as much money,.,比较结构示例2,The more you explain, _ （我愈糊涂）. the more confused I am /become 这里考的是the morethe more句型；“糊涂”通常译为be confused, 用一般现在时。,.,几组易混淆的比较级形式,latter/later ： latter 表顺序，“后者的”，反义词是former; later 表时间，“后来”

4、，反义词earlier farther/further: farther 表距离，“更远的”。如：Lets not walk any farther.（我们别再往前走了。）；further表程度，“更进一步地”，如： I have nothing further to say.（我再没有什么可说的了。）,.,几个以or结尾的形容词,Superior, inferior, prior, senior, junior这些词本身就是比较级了，而且必须与介词to搭配， 如：Prior to the Revolutionary War, the United States was an English

5、colony.（在独立战争之前，美国是英国的殖民地。） They are superior in numbers to us.（他们在数量上超过我们。）,.,用来表示“与相比”的短语,Compared with 和in comparison with, 可用于同级比较、比较级和最高级。注意不要混淆compare with 和compare to （把比作),.,例题,Your losses in trade this year are nothing _ (与我的相比）. Compared with mine/in comparison with mine. 翻译时有两点容易出错。一是comp

6、ared with必须用过去分词形式。此外，句中“我的”其实是my losses的省略形式，但翻译成英语要用物主代词所有格，mine,.,状语从句,1.as/though 引导的让步状语从句 2.hardly/barely/scarcelywhen 和 no sooner than 引导的时间状语从句 3.状语从句特殊的引导词,.,1.as/though 引导的让步状语从句,_（家也许很简陋），theres no place like home, wherever he may go. Humble as it may be. 这里as 可以用though。as 在引导让步状语从句时不位于句首

7、，在它前面可以是形容词、名词、副词等；“家”可以用it 代替，因为后文使用的是名词。,.,_（尽管我很欣赏作为作家的他),I do not like him as a man. Much (as) I admire him as a writer 这里“很”可译为much，考虑到句子要倒装，much放在句首。“作为作家”与主句as a man结构上要保持对应，所以可译为as a writer 返回,.,2.hardly/barely/scarcelywhen 和 no sooner than 引导的时间状语从句,No sooner _ (我们一到山顶）than we all sat down

8、to rest. Had we reached the top of the hill no sooner 后面的主谓要部分倒装，其中谓语动词要用过去完成时 返回,.,状语从句特殊的引导词,Now that 既然，由于 Now _（既然你熟悉了作者的观点),try reading all the sections as quickly as you possibly can. that you are familiar with the authors ideas 由于句首是now，显然考的是now that引导的原因状语从句,.,in that 由于，因为,Criticism and sel

9、f-criticism is necessary in _ (原因是这有助于）find and correct our mistakes. that it helps to 空格前出现in,根据中文分析，显然考的是in that引导的原因状语从句,.,in case/for fear that/lest 以防，万一，以免,Give me your telephone number _（以防万一我需要你的帮助）。 in case I need your help 以防万一用in case. 以防，可以用in case, for fear that, lest He was punished le

10、st _ （再犯同样的错误） he should make the same mistake again. 注意lest后要用should型的虚拟语气,.,Unless 除非,_（政府才能有效运行）unless it is free from such interference. Government cannot operate effectively 由于unless 表示if not 的含义，所以译成否定句,.,Whether or是否,The substance does not dissolve in water _（不管是否需要加热）. whether (it is ) heate

11、d or not 考的是whether or 结构，翻译的关键在于“加热”在英语中需要用被动语态。,.,名词性从句,We agreed to accept _ （任何一位他们认为最好的）tourist guide. whoever they thought was the best 引导从句的关系词在从句中作主语，而且是“任何一位”，应该用whoever，而不是whomever 或who,.,In some countries, _ (所谓的平等）does not really mean equal rights for all people. what is called “equality

13、h引导的非限定性定语从句不能放在句首。,.,2）as可以作为关系代词来引导定语从句，既可以单独引导定语从句，又可以与主句中的the same 或such相呼应，从句中的谓语动词常省略。 _ (正如所料),the response to the question was very mixed. As (had been) expected as 引导的非限定性定语从句可以放在句首。,.,The British are not so familiar with different cultures and other ways of doing things, _ ( 正如发生在其他国家的情形一样

14、). as is often the case in other countries as引导的非限定性定语从句，代替前半句所说的内容。as is often the case 固定表达了“情况也是如此” 返回,.,关系代词that与which用法的区别,Which可以引导一个非限定性定语从句，that不能；which之前可以有介词，that之前不能 只能用that，而不能用which的主要情况： 1）当先行词是all, anything, everything, few, little, much, none, nothing, something 等不定代词时 2）先行词被序数词或形容词最

15、高级所修饰时 3）先行词被the very, the only等词修饰时,.,All _ (合理的）is not necessarily practicable. that is reasonable 当先行词是all的时候，非限定性定语从句用that引导 There is hardly an environment on earth _ （动物种群尚未成功适应）. to which some species of animal or other has not adapted successfully Environment 是先行词，adapt to 是固定搭配。介词的选择取决于它与先行词
