定语从句翻译技巧 在英语中, 定语从句很常见, 翻译时如不进行仔细分析就会出现误译。通过实例对定语从句的翻译技巧做一探讨, 并将这些翻译技巧赋予理论概念, 即定语从句定语化, 定语从句谓语化, 定语从句状语化。在把汉语翻译成带有定语从句的英语时,中国学生常常会受到母语的影响会出现误译。因此我们要对比英汉两种语言,以便避免汉语的负迁移。 一英译汉时定语从句翻译中的易错点 英语中的定语从句是在句中起形容词作用的结构, 通常分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句两大类。进行英译汉翻译时如不进行仔细分析,就会造成误译。比如,下面两个句子仅有一个逗号之差,含义却不同: His brother who is a soldier is eighteen years old now. His brother, who is a soldier, is eighteen years old now. 第一句应译为:他那个当兵的哥哥今年十八岁了。(含义为:他不止一个哥哥。句中的限制性定语从句起到限定的作用。) 第二句应译为:他的哥哥今年十八岁了,他在当兵。(含义为:他只有一个哥哥。句中的非限制性定语从句起到补充说明的作用。) 定语从句在英语中大量出现, 它有长有短, 结构有简有繁, 对先行词的限制有强有弱, 定语从句有时起着补充说明和分层叙述的作用, 或在逻辑上表示原因、目的、条件, 让步和结果等意义。在语序上, 英文定语从句置于先行词之后.。所以汉译时必须正确体会原文的逻辑概念, 合理安排译文的语序。 二英译汉时定语从句的翻译方法 英语定语从句虽然种类繁多, 变化复杂, 但一般均可以用以下三种方法翻译。

定语从句用法归纳 篇一:定语从句的用法一、定语从句的有关概念所谓定语从句,就是在复合句中起定语作用以修饰主句中的名词或代词的从句。学习定语从句,首先要弄清两个重要概念——先行词和关系词。先行词是我们汉语中从来没有听过的一个新概念,它其实指的就是被定语从句所修饰的词。由于定语从句修饰名词或代词时,定语从句通常是后置的,所以人们就将放在定语从句前被定语从句修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。 那什么是关系词呢其实它就是用于引导定语从句的引导词。事实上,英语中的各类从句,不管性质如何,它们都需要有一个词来“引导”,正如人们给引导状语从句的词语取了个名字叫从属连词一样,人们也给引导定语从句的词语取了个名字,叫它关系词,因为它通常被放在先行词和定语从句之间起连接作用,以表明两者之间的修饰关系,同时它还在定语从句中充当一定的句子成分。二、定语从句中关系词与所修饰先行词的关系 为了更好地理解定语从句,我们还有必要研究一下关系词与先行词之间的关系。但在研究这种关系之前,我们先来看看关系词有哪些。根据关系词在定语从句中的作用,我们可以将关系词分为关系代词和关系副词两种。所谓关系代词就是指起代词作用的关系词,它们在引导定语从句的同时,还在定语从句中充当主语、宾语、宾语等,英语中比较常用的关系代词有that, which, who, whom, whose等。类似地,关系副词就是指起副词作用的关系词,它们在引导定语从句的同时,还在定语从句中充当状语等,英语中比较常用的关系副词只有三个,即when, where和why。许多初学定语从句的人弄不清关系词与先行词之间到底是什么关系。其实啊,关系词与先行词之间的关系很简单,简单得可以划一个等号。因为,关系词的含义在本质上等价于先行词,它与先行词指的就是同一个人或同一个事物。为便于理解,下面我们来看几个例子吧。I know the man who lives next door. 我认识住在隔壁的那个人。这是一个含有定语从句的复合句。句中的the man为先行词,who lives next door为修饰the man的定语从句;在定语从句中,who是关系词,它在定语从句中用作主语,从意义上说,它在

定语从句翻译技巧

定语从句的翻译方法 根据汉语的表达习惯及对原文的忠实度,翻译这类定语从句可以采用以下几种方法1.1前置合译法( 前滚翻):若定语从句较短,较简单,与名词(先行词)的关系紧密(一般来说,紧密的,为限定性从句;不紧密的,为非限定性从句),限定性定语从句及少部分非限定性从句( 较短且有描述性的非限定),一般将从句提在先行词之前,译成“。。。的” 1)The action it takes at any moment can’t be predicted,and people find that disturbing. 它在任何一个时刻采取的行动都无法预见,这使人们觉得有些乱。 2)I was, to borrow from John Le Carre, the spy who was to stay out in the cold. 借用的话来说(插入语,作状语,译成汉语时,放在句首),我成了一个被打入冷宫的间谍。 3)There will come a day when people all over the world will live a happy life. 全世界人民过上幸福生活的那一天(终究)是会到来的。 4)The people who worked for him lived in mortal fear of him. 在他手下干活的员工怕他怕得要死。 5)We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious ill were quite aware of its potential outcome. 给我们留下极深印象的是:(同位语的翻译)即使那些没有被告知严重病情的病人,对其疾病的潜在后果也是非常清楚的。 6)One explanation for the pig-eating taboo is that pork that is not cooked sufficiently may spread a disease called trichinosis. 对禁食猪肉的一种解释是:如果未被煮透的话,猪肉可能会传播一种叫旋毛虫病的疾病。 7)But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago. 但更为重要的是,这是科学家们所能观察到的最遥远的过去的景象,因为他们看到的是150亿年前宇宙云的形状和结构。(98考研)

定语从句的翻译

定语从句的翻译 英语中的定语从句根据它们对主句的限制和影响,分为限制性定语从句,和非限制性定语从句。无论哪种,一般都放在所修饰的中心词之后。在翻译成中文时,为符合中国人的语言表达习惯,既要读起来上口,有便于理解,多数情况下将较短的限制性定语从句译为前置定语。较长的或非限制性定语从句,要视具体情况,可以译成并列的分句,或独立成句。 一。限制性定语从句 绝大多数限制性定语从句一般译为前置定语或并列句。 1。译成前置定语 1)Everything that is around us is matter. 我们周围的一切都是物质。 2)Those who sacrifice themselves for the people’s cause are the real heroes of history. 为人民的事业牺牲自己的人才是历史上真正的英雄。 2。译成并列句 1)I have some good ideas which wouldn’t suit you. 我有一些好主意,怕对你不适用。 2)He was one of the earliest English grammarians who paid attention to this problem. 他是英语语法学家,而且是最早注意这一问题的。 二。非限制性定语从句 1。译成并列句 1)Captured documents, which we have obtained from individuals who had been infiltrated through this corridor plus prisoner-of –war reports that we have obtained in recent months, let us to believe that the volume of infiltration has expanded substantially. 我们从经由这个走廊地带渗透进来的个别人身上缴获了一些文件,近几个月又从战 俘那里得到了各种口供,我们相信渗透的规模已大幅度地扩展。 2)Anybody is better than Mack, who has neither honor, nor ability, nor capital. 谁都比麦克强,他既没名誉,又没能力,也没资金。 2。译成独立句 1)The following March, Henry was fifty-five years old, due for retirement, and had been offered an outside job, which would give him nearly twice his secretary’s salary with his pension. 翌年三月,亨利已经55岁,该退休了,但外面已经有人聘用他,新职的待遇加上他 的养老金要比他当秘书的薪水多一倍。 2)He thought to better his circumstances by marrying a young woman of the French nation, who was by profession an opera-girl. 他想娶个法国女人来改善环境,那女人是个唱歌剧的年轻姑娘。 三。其他 由于汉语习惯上不使用长句,因此无论是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句,都可以把原文较长的定语从句拆开译成并列句或独立句。使译文通顺流畅,条理分明。关系代词的翻译可根据具体情况,灵活处理。 1)Last week I wrote a letter to Vice-President, who had been a famous professor

英语定语从句的翻译技巧

定语从句的翻译 英语中,定语从句分成限制性从句与非限制性从句两种。他们在英语中的位置一般是在其所修饰的先行词后面。 限定性定语从句与非限定性定语从句的其别只是在于限制意义的强弱。而汉语中定语作为修饰语通常在其所修饰的词前面,并且没有限制意义的强弱之分,因此,限制与非限制在翻译中并不起十分重要的作用。 英语中多用结构复杂的定语从句,而汉语中修饰语则不宜臃肿。所以,在翻译定语从句时,一定要考虑到汉语的表达习惯。 从结构上分析,常见的定语从句翻译方法: 一、前置法:把定语从句翻译到所修饰的先行词前面,可以用“的”来连接。 既然定语从句的意义是作定语修饰语,所以在翻译的时候,通常把较短的定语从句译成带“的”的前置定语,翻译在定语从句的先行词前面。 He who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. 没有吃过苦的人不知道什么是甜。 Space and oceans are the new world which scientists are trying to explore. 太空和海洋是科学家们努力探索的新领域。 His laughter, which was infectious, broke the silence. 他那富有感染力的笑声打破了沉寂。 Harmonious interpersonal relationship is the primary reason why I enjoy working here. 同事之间关系融洽是我喜欢在这工作的主要原因。 二、后置法:把定语从句翻译在所修饰的先行词后面,翻译为并列分句。 英语的英语从句结构常常比较复杂,如果翻译在其修饰的先行词前面的话,会显得定语太臃肿,

谈英语定语从句的翻译技巧 摘要:关于定语从句的翻译方法和技巧方面的文章,一般都只是总结排列一下 有多少种基本译法,并举出若干实例与之对应,并没有告诉读者到底什么情况下 使用哪种方法为最好。而在从事翻译的具体过程中,人们往往不知道选用哪种方 法好,尤其是初学翻译者,更是把翻译理论与实际问题联系不起来。针对这一问题,我又翻看了一下他人写的文章以及一些翻译理论方面的书籍,加上我自己的 一些观点、体会,在他们研究探讨得出的成果基础上,谈一点自己的见解,但愿 能在实际翻译工作中起到一点帮助作用。 关键词:定语从句翻译作用 一提到定语从句,我们总是会想到在句子中限定某个名词,能翻译成“……的”的 从句,其实在阅读及翻译过程中,我们对定语从句的理解及翻译不能一概而论, 要根据具体的语义环境作具体的分析。如果一味地按照语法、翻译技巧生搬硬套,一是对文章的理解会出现偏差,二是翻译出的句子可能不太符合汉语的表达习惯。关于定语从句的翻译方法和技巧方面的文章,我读过一些,发现作者在介绍翻 译方法时,一般都只是总结排列一下有多少种基本译法,并举出若干实例与之对应,并没有告诉读者到底什么情况下使用哪种方法为最好。而在从事翻译的具体 过程中,人们往往不知道选用哪种方法好,尤其是初学翻译者,更是把翻译理论 与实际问题联系不起来。针对这一问题,我又翻看了一下他人写的文章以及一些 翻译理论方面的书籍,加上我自己的一些观点、体会,在他们研究探讨得出的成 果基础上,在此我想对英语定语从句的理解与翻译谈一点自己的见解。 用汉语语言翻译英语定语从句,首先必须了解到: 一、英语定语从句与汉语定语的区别 英语定语从句(attribute clause)形式上以从句出现在主句先行词之后,分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句两种,从语法意义上讲,限制性定语从句对主 句先行词起修饰、限制作用,而非限制性定语从句则对先行词起补充、说明、分 层描述等作用,由逗号与主句先行词隔开。汉语定语没有从句形式,常用“……的” 结构出现在中心语前面,对中心词起修饰、限制作用。由此可见,无论从形式上 还是从逻辑含义上,汉语定语比英语定语从句都显得简单明了,易于学习掌握, 而英语定语从句则复杂的多,正是由于英语定语从句的复杂性,决定了翻译时不 能简单地译成放在中心词前面的汉语定语结构,例如: In 1906, however, Pierre, who was crossing a road, was run over and killed. 这个句子如果硬把定语从句译成汉语定语结构“1906年,正在横穿马路的皮埃尔……” 就会觉得译的很勉强。那么怎样才能准确表达定语从句的意思,又符合汉语表 达习惯呢? 语言学家们根据定语从句的逻辑结构含义给定语从句起了一个新名字叫关系分 句(relative clause),我认为翻译时要打破“定语”两字的局限性,把定语从句看 成关系分句,只要正确掌握了定语从句的真正含义,与主句之间存在的真正关系,就能正确选择一种合适的翻译方法,准确地把定语从句的意思表达出来。 二、在就让我们从关系分句这个角度去理解定语从句,及翻译方法的选择 (一)有些定语从句,对主句先行词起修饰、限制作用,且和主句关系密不可分,既可译成汉语定语“……的”结构,放在中心词前面。例如: 1.The time will surely come when the Chinese people will realize the four
