翻译方法

1. 定语的位置

汉语的定语通常在修饰词之前，英语的定语位置分两种：前置和后置。

钓鱼是一项能够陶冶性情的运动，有益于身心健康。

中国是世界上最古老的 文明之一。

China is one of the worlds most ancient civilizations.（前置定语）

2. 状语的位置

汉语按事情发生先后叙述，而英语中时间状语从句可在主句前，也可在主句后。

我吃了晚饭后出去散步。

【参考译文1】I went out for a walk after I had my dinner.（状语后置）

【参考译文2】After I had my dinner, I went out for a walk.（状语前置）

✅否定转移

当主句的谓语为表示看法的动词时，宾语从句的否定词往往移到主句，这类动词有：believe, think, suppose, expect, imagine, reckon等。

例：我们觉得他不适合做这工作。

【参考译文】We dont think that he is suitable for the job.

✅数字翻译

英美等国的出版社在排版时遵循一条原则，即1至10用单词表示，10以上的数目用阿拉伯数字（也有的以100为界限），这条原则值得我们借鉴。

【参考译文】That table measures ten feet by five.
