翻译技巧(六)重复译法 重复译法是指翻译时重复原文中某些词,使译文表 达明确具体。这是因为有些词在英语中是不必重复的, 但在汉语中却必须重复,否则就会造成文理不通或逻辑 混乱。 重复共同部分 1重复共同修饰的名词 Gas, oil, and electric furnaces are most commonly used for heat treating metal. The charges of nucleus and electrons are equal so that the atom is electrically neutral

翻译技巧(七)被动语态的译法 英语中被动语态使用范围很广,凡是在不必或不愿 说出或无从说出施动者以及为了便于连贯上下文或者为 了强调动作的承受者等场合,往往都用被动语态。英语 被动句的翻译主要有以下几种情况: 成汉语被动句 The first stage of a rocket is thrown away only minutes after the rocket takes off The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature is held constant

The moon, as well as the stars and the sun. is made use of by the mariner to find his latitude and longitude at sea. Only a small part of suns energy reaching the earth is used bνus Besides voltage, resistance and capacitance, an alternating current is also influenced by inductance. Many casting defects are caused by expansion properties of sand

二、译成汉语主动句 1.译成有主语的主动句 A right kind offuel is needed for an atomic reactor To explore the moon's surface. Rockets were launched again and again 2.译成无主语的主动句 When work is done against friction, heat is produced. By using this new process the loss of metal was reduced to 20 per cent. Care should be taken at all times to protect the instrument from dust and damp

翻译技巧(八)英语长句的译法 英语习惯于用长的句子表达比较复杂的概念而汉 语则不同常常使用若干短句,作层次分明的叙述。因此, 在进行英译汉时,要特别注意英语和汉语之间的差异,将 英语的长句分解,翻译成汉语的短句。 顺序法 当英语长句的内容的叙述层次与汉语基本一致时,可 以按照英语原文的顺序翻译成汉语。 Even when we turn off the beside lamp and are fast asleep, electricity is working for us, driving our refrigerators, heating our water, or keeping our rooms air-conditioned
