名词性从句的翻译英语的名词性从句包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
翻译的时候,大多数可以按照原文的句子顺序翻译成相应的汉语译文。
但有时候也需要采用其他翻译方法来灵活处理。
一、主语从句1)以关联词what, whatever, whoever, when, where, how, why或从属连词that, whether等词引导的主语从句,一般可以按照英文原句的顺序来翻译,即一般放在句首,作为主从复合句的主语。
例如:What he told me was a sheer lie.他对我说的全是谎言。
Whatever I saw and heard on my trip left me a very deep impression.一路上的所见所闻给我留下了深刻的印象。

Whether an organism is a plant or an animal sometimes taxes the brain of a biologist.一种生物究竟是植物还是动物,有时会让生物学家颇伤脑筋。
2) 对于it作形式主语的主语从句,可以先译主句,顺译为无人称句。
有时也可先译从句,再译主句,这样的话,一般需要在主句前加译“这”。
需要注意的是,如果强调it,可以将其译出;如果不需要强调,也可不译。
例如:It is strange that she should have failed to see her own shortcomings.真奇怪,她竟然看不出自己的缺点。
It seemed incredible that she should have lied to us.她居然对我们说谎,这真是不可思议。
