应试技巧
汉语主动句译成英语被动句
我们在汉译英时，往往也需要把汉语主动句译成被动句。这是因为：为了保证上下文连贯，使衔接更紧密，句子更自然；或强调动作承受者；或使语气婉转、措辞恰当。具体转换方法有如下两种。
1）把汉语主动句的宾语译成英语被动句的主语。
例1 ____________（将领你们去参观我们的新车间）by the secretary.
译文：You will be shown our new workshop.
简评：如果这句话不是划线填内容，你完全可以将它翻译成The secretary will show you our new workshop。正是因为题型是补全句子，这就给翻译带来了一定的难度，你必须去适应题型要求而不是让题型来适应你。让我们看看译文已给出部分：by the secretary显然是一个被动语态特征，“秘书”在译文里已经由原来的主语变成了译文句子的补足成分。所以，题目是暗示我们要把原句中“你们”转换成译句里的主语，这样才符合出题要求。
例2 You __________（我们期待你能组织贸易推广活动）this time.
译文：are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns.
简评：根据题目可推知全句意思是：我们期望你能组织这次的贸易推广活动。中文句子主语、谓语、宾语分别是：我们、期望、你。但是在英文译文的给出部分中我们看到句子以you 开头，也就是说“你被期望能组织这次贸易推广活动”。中文的宾语变成了英文的主语，这就要求我们在翻译时要使用被动语态。全句完整答案是：You are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns this time.
2）当汉语句以“我们”、“人们”、“大家”等泛指性代词作主语时，在翻译成英文的时候常常可以忽略主语不译，并把英文译句处理成被动语态。处理后的英文译句往往带有know，see，find，say，suppose，estimate，report，suggest，stress，consider，expect，admit，point，understand等动词。
例3 如果原子失去一个或多个电子，我们就说这个原子带正电荷。
译文：If one or more electrons are removed，the atom is said/believed/thought to be positively charged.
简评：这句话是一个条件从句。即：在原子失去一个或多个电子的情况下，这个电子带正电荷。“我们就说这个原子带正电荷”可理解为“这个原子被认为/ 被确信/ 被说成是带正电荷”。那么根据前面所说的原则，我们在翻译时可以将泛指性主语“我们”省略不译，并使用被动语态。
从这个例子里我们还可以看出，在科技文章中，根据英语表达习惯我们应当多采用被动语态，以强调事物的客观性。
例4 人们采用各种措施来防止腐蚀。
译文：All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion.
简评：这句话可以按原文译成主动态，即：People have taken all kinds of measures to prevent corrosion。也可以用被动语态来翻译——A
All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion。两者比较而言，被动态译文更突出表明所有、种种措施已经付诸实施，all kinds of measures得到强调，而主动态译法只是平铺直叙，重点不突出。
此外，汉语句子中有“据说”、“据了解”、“据报道”、“据估计”、“据传言”等词语时，可以酌情译成相应的英语被动句，如：It is supposed that（据推测……），It is said that（据说……），It is estimated that（据估计……），It is calculated that（预计……），It is reported that（据报道……），It is suggested that（有人建议），It is stressed that（有人强调……），It is thought that （有人认为……），It is considered that（有人认为……），It is expected that（据期望……），It is well known that（众所周知……），It must be admitted that（必须承认……），It must be pointed out that（必须指出……），It is understood that（谁都知道……），It may be safety said that（可以有把握地说……）等。
例5 据了解，这个地区有丰富的自然资源。
译文：The area is known to be rich in natural resources.
例6 众所周知，自然光其实是由许多种颜色构成。
译文：It is well known that natural light is actually made up of many colors.
练习：
1. A dog has won a German government award ________________ （因协助警方劝阻一名妇女自杀）.
2. The manager points out _______________ （我们的工作进展令人满意）.
3. _________________ （这栋房子需要现代化）：it has no bathroom or electricity.
4. ________________（飞机什么时候起飞）has not been announced.
5.His idea is ________________（应该立即执行计划）.
参考答案及解析：
1. for helping police persuade a woman not to commit suicide
解析：本句考查的是句子逻辑关系。根据意思可知，句子前半句是果，后半句是因。“一只狗因为协助警方阻止了一名妇女的自杀而获德国政府奖项”。英语通常把表示目的、假设、原因、让步等内容放在句子的后部，因此这句话可以由because，for来引导。“自杀”有一个固定短语commit suicide，“劝阻”要用强调结果成功的persuade。
2. that our work is progressing satisfactorily
动词“令人满意”转移成英语的副词satisfactorily。这种词性转换是翻译常用技巧，适当的转换可使译文通顺，符合英文表达习惯。另外，句子需填入部分在全句中充当宾语从句，因而不能漏译that。
3. This house needs modernizing
解析：本题同样考查汉英词性转换技巧。全句意为：这栋房子既没有浴室也没有电，（因而）需要现代化。“现代化”在汉语里是一个名词，在这个句子中实际上指的是“房子”需要配置现代化设备，它的含义不等同于modernization，“配备现代化设施”可以用modernizing 来表示。英语里很多以-ing结尾的动词表示该动作的过程，通常与need连用，如：These clothes need washing. 本题是从名词到动词的转换。
4. When the plane is to take off
解析：本题考查的是以连接副词when引导的主语从句的翻译。中文意思是：飞机什么时候起飞还没有公布。这样的主语从句一般可以采用顺序法翻译。顺序法同样也适用于以that，what，whatever，who，whoever，where，how，why等引导的主语从句。如：认识他的人都信任他。（Who knows him will believe him.）本题的另一个考点是：“什么时候起飞”是一个将来时态，可以用be to来表达。
5. that the plan should be carried out immediately
解析：本题综合考查了表语从句、无主语翻译以及惯用搭配。首先，His idea is前半部分是一个完整的主谓结构，句子需填入部分在全句中充当表语；其次，“应该立即执行计划”中“计划”是被用来执行的，但是题干中并没有提到谁会来执行这个计划。因此，在主语没有出现的情况下，可以采用被动译法。“执行计划”在英语里可以用carry out the plan，perform the plan，implement the plan来表示
新四级汉译英段落翻译技巧 新四级汉译英段落翻译解题技巧 ?题型简介?基本要求?翻译技巧 题型简介 ?自2013年12月考次起，全国大学英语四级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整文段落汉译英，翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材。 140~160词 基本要求 要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础，扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握，段落内容相对完整、结构相对独立。翻译时要把整个段落当作一个有机的语篇，注意各句子之间的衔接和段落间的过渡。 翻译技巧 (一) 词的翻译 (二) 句的翻译 (三) 段落翻译 (一) 词的翻译 1. 词义选择 2. 词类转换 3. 词的增补 4. 词的省略 5. 词的替代 1.词义选择 (1)语境词?汉语有些词语的含义会因语境而发生微妙的变化，称之为“语境词”，应紧密结合上下文译成相应的词，不能按照原词的字面意思来译。?原文：手机刷新了人与人的关系。?译文：Cell phone have altered the relationship among people. ?分析：“刷新”此处实际是指“改变”，而并非是我们平常所指的含义，因此不宜译成refurbish或renovate，翻译为alter或 change更恰当。 (2) 表意模糊的词?原文：这所全国重点大学为社会输送了大批的人才。?译文：The national key university has prepared batches of qualified graduates for the society. ?分析：“输送”在句中是一个模糊笼统的词，具体说来是指“培养出”。“人才”笼统，译为qualified graduates比较确切。 (3) 比喻词汇?汉语有许多比喻词汇，表面意义和喻指含义完全不同，英译时应跳出机械对应的思维定式，动态地译出其潜在含义。?原文：老师答应给这几个学生“吃小灶”。?译文：The teacher has promised to give these students special tuition. ?分析：“吃小灶”在这里指的是“个别辅导”。 2.词类转换 (1)动词?名词?英语动词受到形态变化规则的严格限制，大量本应该由动词表达的概念，常需借助于名词，因为名词不受形态规则的束缚，使用相对灵活、方便。?原文：吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口。?译文：You"ll be full of praise while eating the first two main courses. ?分析：英语中有大量抽象名词表示行为或动作意义 advice,agreement,inheritance,knowledge,praise,use等。以上例句借助抽象名词表达了特定的行为动作，译文也显得较为地道。 (2)动词?介词?介词与名词密切相关，英语名词的广泛使用使得介词也频繁出现，而且英语中有些介词本身就是由动词演变来的。汉译英时，有些动词可以用介词来表达。?原文：人们常用剪纸美化环境。?译文：People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings. (3)动词?形容词?汉语的一些动词常常用形容词来表达，这些形容词通常是与动词同源的词（如dreamful,doubtful,sympathetic 等），这样的译文有时会更地道、标准。?原文：在明朝和清朝时期特别流行。?译文：It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

汉译英的几种常用技巧（一）常用的翻译技巧1. 增译2. 减译（省译）3. 重复 4. 转译 5. 语序（词序/句序）调整（倒置） 6. 拆句与合并7. 正说反译, 反说正译8. 语态变换 1.增译法：指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达 方式，在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子，以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。 这种方式多半用在汉译英里。汉语无主句较多，而英语句子一般都要有主语，所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候，除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或“There be…”结构来翻译以外，一般都要根据语境补出主语，使句子完整。英语中代词使用频率较高，凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时，必须在前面加上物主代词。因此，在汉译英时需要增补物主代词，而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。 英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示，而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。因此，在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。英语句子离不开介词和冠词。另外，汉译英时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语，以确保译文意思完整。 总之，通过增译，一是保证译文语法结构的完整，二是保证译文意思的明确。 1.

掌握大量的词汇对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。一个非官方的但却是经常被引用的有关剑桥初级证书英语考试（Cambridge First Certificate Examination）的数字表明，词汇量少于三千五百词的学生不大有可能在这项考试中成功。最近的研究也表明，其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人至少认识一万六千个英语词。除非你已经会讲一种像西班牙语或德语这样的语言，要获得大的英语词汇是没有捷径可走的：你就得依靠勤奋和专注。当然，你可以从上下文猜出你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思，但往往你得查词典才能搞清它们确切意思。一个切实可行的学习新词的方法或许就是大量阅读，最好是读那些你觉得有趣或刺激的故事。反复阅读同一本书常常是很有好处的：你每读一次都会学到不同的生词，而熟悉的背景又有助于将这些新词牢牢地印在你的脑海中。 Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.

16字征服四六级汉译英之一：合理断并 汉语句子结构较为松散，存在许多流水句，句与句之间多用逗号来连接。汉语中逗号的大量使用乃至随意使用给汉译英翻译带来很大困难。我们注意到，不少考生索性将汉语原文中的逗号完全原封不动地转移到英译文之中，严重违背了英语作文的基本规范。此外，汉语短句多且断句间往往不添加关联词以彰显逻辑关系，但译为英文时完全可以将某些汉语短句合并起来。在实际汉英操作中，考生应在研读原文和考虑自身语言能力的基础上，首先做出是断还是并的决策。以下分别就断句和并句提出一些方法。 一、断句 （一）在原文主语变化处断句 【例1】在明清期间，茶馆遍布全国，/饮茶在六世纪传到日本，但直到18世纪才传到欧美，/如今，茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一。（CET-4:1312） 【参考译文】In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea houses spread all over the country. Tea drinking was introduced into Japan in the 6th century while it had not been introduced into Europe or the United States until the 18th century. Nowadays, tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. 【解析】这是一个典型的流水句，类似句子在汉语中可谓俯拾皆是。大体而言，原文可分为三个部分。第一部分谈茶馆，第二部分谈饮茶这一习俗的对外传播，第三部分谈茶的现状。鉴于此，可将这段中文处理为三个英文小句。 【例2】同样，中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器也传遍各地，/欧洲也是通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物，满足中国市场的需要。（CET-6:13-12） 【参考译文】Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain were also spread to the rest of the world through the Silk Road. And Europe exported all kinds of goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market.
汉译英翻译技巧1：了解中英文区别，避免机械对等翻译 英语和汉语是两种差异比较大的语言。在汉英双语互译时，其差异具体体现为词汇、句式、衔接等方面的差异。因此，对于备考大学英语四级考试的考生，了解中英文两种语言的以下主要区别，对段落汉译英答题很有帮助。 1.汉语重意合，英语重形合。汉语强调意义上紧密结合，主要靠词义手段连接，讲究“意境美”，所以有时候语法是不完整的；英语则注重句法、词汇手段等形式上的紧密结合，讲究“结构美”，强调句式完整和上下文的衔接。因此，汉译英需要通过对汉语句子进行句型变换，使用逻辑衔接词、从句等来显现句中的逻辑关系，从而符合英语的表达习惯。 2.汉语多短句，英语多长句。汉语侧重语义，多用短句、分句来表达；英语多用长句及复合句，其结构通过时态、标点符号及关联词来表达。因此，汉译英往往需要对原文进行合译、增补词汇等。 3.汉语多重复，英语多替代。汉语由于结构较松散，常对名词进行重复，使语义更加清晰，对动词进行重复起增强语气的作用：而英语常使用代词、名词及do，do so或so do，so，as或其他词组来代替重复出现的部分。
4.汉语多用主动，英语多用被动。 5.汉语用词多动词，英语用词多名词和介词。汉语句子多用动词，具有动态性和具体性的特点；英语句子则喜用名词和介词，体现静态性和抽象性的特点。这一不同的特点决定了汉译英过程中常常需要转换词性。 6.汉语句中的定语通常放在所修饰的名词之前，英语中定语的位置却可前可后。因此，汉译英时往往需要调整语序，如汉语中定语过多，英语可使用介词短语、分词、不定式、从句等后置定语以求句子结构上的平衡。 7.汉语重心在后，英语重心在前。在表达多逻辑思维时，汉语一般是由因到果、由假设到推论、由事实到结论，即重心在后；英语则往往是判断或结论等在前，事实或描写等在后，即重心在前。【例1】九寨沟气候宜人，夏季凉爽，冬无寒风。 译文: Jiuzhaigou enjoys a favorable climate which is cool in summer but free from cold wind in winter. 解析：原句含三个汉语短句，但都是对“九赛沟”的描述，存在逻辑上的联系，译文中将第一个短句处理成主句，后两个短句则处理成 which引导的定语从句，既能体现三个句子间的逻辑联
