做翻译不是看翻译
Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed and perhaps
never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events
in Europe.
在联系不同的民族和国家方面，电视或许以前从来没有像在最近欧洲事件中其如此大的
作用。
在联系不同的民族和国家方面，电视像在最近欧洲事件中起的作用之大前所未见。
怎么做英译汉
One might ask why speculation is permitted when there is so real a danger of loss. The basic
reason is that speculation can perform useful functions in the market equilibrium and encourages
faster entry of more suppliers. If the price change lagged until after an actual commodity shortage
had occurred, the fluctuation would probably be sharper and more sudden. Remedial supply action
could not be further delayed. Similarly, if speculators foresee a surplus in some commodity, their
selling of futures will help drive the price down to some extent before the surplus actually occurs.
When speculators foresee a shortage and bid up the price, they are also helping to conserve the
present supply. As the price goes up, less of the commodity is purchased; a rise in price encourages
users to economize. Similarly, a lowering of price encourages users to buy more, thus helping to
sell the surplus which is developing.
The Renaissance embraced, first of all, an impressive record of new achievements in art,
literature, science, philosophy, education and religion. Although the foundation of many of these
was classical, they soon expanded beyond the measure of Greek and Roman influence. Indeed,
many of the achievements in painting, science, politics and religion bore little relation to the
classical heritage. Secondly, the Renaissance incorporated a number of dominant ideas and attitudes

that gave it the impress of a unique society. Notable among these in general were optimism, and
individualism; but the most significant of them all was humanism. In its broadest meaning
humanism may be defined as emphasis on the human values.
It was a term derived from Cicero, who used it in the sense of devotion to the liberal arts, or
the subjects most compatible with the dignity of man. The humanists rejected the Scholastic
philosophy with its preoccupation with theology and logic. They strove for a smooth and elegant
style that would appeal more to the aesthetic than to the rational side of man's nature.
翻译的步骤：
一、画竖线
目的：初步断开句子结构，化繁为简
原则：
1、拆出主句，分清从句；
2、拆出主干，分清修饰；
最佳方式：找断句点
（1）连词；（2）引导词；（3）介词；（4）分词；（5）to；（6）标点符号；
（79）We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves,
great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the
hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial to the future
progress of the race.
二、写汉字：以每一小节作为单位来写汉字
目的：初步了解每一个小结构的意思；
（79）We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves,
great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the
hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial to the future
progress of the race.
三、连汉字
目的：把每一小节连接成为通顺的句子；需要适当地调整顺序，或者把一些不通顺的
词语替换掉。
调整顺序的本源是英语的结构和修饰关系。
替换汉语词语的本源是依据英语的基本词义和上下文的意译。
（79）We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves,
great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the
hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial to the future
progress of the race.
因此，我们接受和欢迎环境的巨大不平等；生 意、工业和商业集中在少数人手中和少数人之
间的竞争法则，这作为我们自己必须适应的条件，因为这不 仅仅对人类今后的进步有益。
因此，我们接受和欢迎环境的巨大不平等；工商贸集中在少数人手中以及 少数人之间的竞争
法则，这作为我们自己必须适应的条件，因为这不仅仅对人类今后的进步有益。（最终 ）
3．There are many facts in a given historical period that can be easily stuffed into our mind. but
discernment in the selection of significant facts is a vastly more difficult thing and depends upon
one's point of view.
我们的大 脑很容易记住许多特定历史时期的事实，但是选择和鉴别重大事实却是更为艰
难的事情并且取决于我们自 己的观点。
英汉翻译技巧


2
考博英语讲义系列 翻译
一、词意选择，适当引申
（1）分析词根和词缀来翻译
（2）分析词性来翻译
（3）分析上下文来翻译
（4）结合汉语习惯和固定搭配来翻译
二、适当增加
翻译成汉语后，在不改变英语意思的前提下，适当增加词语，使句子更通顺。
三、适当减少
四、适当重复
可以适当重复出原文省略的部分，或者把并列结构中的相同部分重复出来。
We don't retreat , we never have and never will.
我们不会退却，我们从来没有后退过，今后也决不会退却。
五、词性转换
把英语的词性变换成汉语的其他词性来翻译。
六、四字成语
练习
Passage 3
71．The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that the
No．1 health problem in the U．S．today, even more than AIDS or cancer, is that Americans don't
know how to think about health and illness.
在医学院担任十二年教师，我所得到的主要印象是：当今美国的首要健康问 题甚至比艾滋和
癌症更为严重的是美国人不知该怎样对待健康和疾病。

考博翻译的标准
1、准确
2、通顺
准确是前提，其次求通顺，另外检查译文的方式是多读译文。
定语从句前置的翻译
1、定语从句前置
即把定语从句翻译到它修饰的先行词的前面，并习惯用“的”来连接。

Passage 3
72．We fear the worst, expect the worst, thus invite the worst and the result is that we are becoming
a nation of weaklings and hypochondriacs, a self-medicating society incapable of distinguishing
between casual, everyday symptoms and those that require professional attention.
我们害怕最糟糕的事情发生，期望最糟糕的事情发 生，从而招致了最糟糕的事情发生，其结
果是我们美国正逐渐成为一个弱者和疑病症患者的民族，一个自 我诊断的社会，而不能对轻
微的日常症状和那些需要专业护理的症状加以区分。

Passage 10

考博英语讲义系列 翻译
1．Genuine love is more likely to involve a process of “growing” in love rather than “falling”
in love. This may sound terribly unromantic to some who are used to hearing talk about “falling in
love” or being “head over heels in love.” < br>真爱更可能是一个萌生爱意的过程，而并非是坠入爱河。对于那些听惯了一见钟情，爱得神
魂颠倒 的人来说，这或许太不浪漫了。

Passage 14
2. In reality, the way one experiences old age is contingent upon circumstances of late-life events
（in what order they occur, how they occur, when they occur）and the social supports one receives:
adequate finances, shelter, medical care, social roles, religious support, recreation.
事实上，一个人老年的经历如何，取决于晚年事件发生的环境和一个人所获得的社会支持：
前者 包括这些事件发生的先后顺序，怎样发生的，和何时发生的，后者包括足够的财力、住
宿条件、医疗保障 、社会地位、宗教支持、娱乐活动。

Passage 15
2. It is primarily a term for the socially elaborated segment of human behavior in any culture; and
abnormality, is a term for the segment that particular civilization does not use.
正常术语主要是用 来指在任何文化中，社会所解释的那部分人类行为，而变态术语主要是用
来指特定文化所不能接受的那部 分人类行为。

代词指代
1、直接对应
2、指代明确
3、用“这”等替代

Passage 15
3. Its variability among different people is essentially a function of the variability of the behavior
patterns that different societies have created for themselves, and can never be wholly divorced from
a consideration of culturally institutionalized types of behavior.
不同人之间正常行为 的可变性主要是由不同社会为其自己所设立的行为模式的可变性所决定
的，并且绝对不能完全脱离了文化 的制度化的行为模式来加以考虑。

如果定语从句结构简单，信息负载量不大，翻译时前置。

定语从句后置的翻译
如果定语从句太复杂或里面包含的内容太多时，需要后置。
1．Contemporary technological reporting is full of notions of electronic communities in which
people interact across regions or entire continents.
地区之间甚至是整个大陆之间人们通过电子技术交流而构成电子社区，这种概 念在现代技术
报告中比比皆是

2．For example, electronic communication filters out and alters much of the subtlety, warmth,
contextuality, and so on that seem important to fully human, morally engaged interaction.

例如，电子交流过滤并且改变了大多数的细微的心理差别，情绪的热烈程度，周围的环境等
等，而这些似 乎对于那些完全人性化涉及道德的交流来说显得非常重要

72．For individual sportsmen, pilots and drivers, speed had the status of a privileged substance to
which, in those early days, only a minority had full access. Mechanized speed made men, and a few
women, into heroes, and it remains a commodity to which males, in particular, are attracted.
对于个体的运动员，飞行员和驾驶员来说，速度具有一种特权的财富地 位，在早期只有少数
人才完全有办法获得这种地位。机械化的速度使得男性以及少数女性成为了英雄，速 度俨然
成为了一种商品，尤其是男性对此趋之若鹜。

1 I have met such persons, and found that there was no topic that might come up in the course of
the conversation concerning which they did not have some facts or figures to produce, but whose
points of view were appalling.
我曾经碰到这样的一些人 ，并且发现在谈话过程中可能出现的所有话题他们都能够提供事实
和数据来加以支持，但是他们的观点相 当令人惊愕。

否定结构的翻译
（一）部分否定：
代词或者副词，all/both/every.../many/entirely/altogether/ absolutely/wholly
completely+not 并非所有...；并不是都...
例：All that glitters not gold.
Both the windows are not open.
Everybody does not believe the rumour.
（二）全部否定：
ne ver/no/not/none/nobody/nothing/nowhere/neither/nor /not at all

5
考博英语讲义系列 翻译
Our great motherland has never before being so prosperous as it is today.
（三）双重否定：是指同一个句子中出现两个否定词，即否定之否定
not...not
No spaceship can't be loaded with man.
（四）注意具有否定意义的词
The specification lacks detail.
The error in calculation escape the accountant.
far from
The newspaper...are far from ...
beyond
He is anything but scholar.
The machine is working none the worse.
might as well
小结：
如果定语从句结构复杂，信息负载量 比较大，翻译到先行词前面不通顺的话需要后
置。这时可以和主句脱离单独成句，但常常需要重复先行词 或者用代词重复。

状语从句的翻译
状语从句的翻译方法
英语中的状语从句可以直接翻译，但一般要把时间、条件、让步和原因状语从句翻译到
主句之前。
3．Infatuation often entails feelings of insecurity whenever the
doubt, fickleness, uncertainty, and fear of loss often accompany infatuation.
一旦相爱的双方分开，痴情经常伴随而来的是不安全的感觉；怀疑，朝三暮 四，犹豫不决，
患得患失经常伴随痴情而来。
4．Infatuation tends to be more manipulative than love because a lasting feeling of relationship
probably has not developed, so that the individuals are still concerned mainly about their own needs
and satisfactions.
痴情之所以比爱情更具有操控性，是因为一种长久的感情关系或许还没 有建立，这样一来相
爱的双方个人都仍然主要关注的是他们各自的需要和满足感。
2．If man's mind cannot be turned into a logic-machine, neither can it function properly as a great
emotional sponge, to be squeezed at will.
如果人类的思维不能成为一台逻辑机器的话，那么它也不能成为一块巨大的感情海绵可以任
意的挤压。
Death is a dramatic, one-time crisis while old age is a day-by-day and year-by-year confrontation
with powerful external and internal forces, a bittersweet coming to terms with one's own
personality and one's life.（1）
死亡是戏剧般的，一次性 的危机，然而衰老则是一天天一年年的与内外强大力量抗争的过程，
一个苦乐参半的过程，逐渐适应自己 的性格和自己的生活。
