(,定语从句后置,),The efforts,necessary to assure that sufficient emphasis is placed on system safety,are often organized into formal programs.,(,“,形容词短语,+,从句”后置,),为了表达一个复杂概念，使之逻辑严密，科技文章中常常出现许多长句。,Long Sentences,（长句）,One comprehensive definition for an organizational culture has been presented by Schein who has said that organizational culture is “a pattern of basic assumptions-invented, discovered, or developed by a given group as it learns to cope with its problems of external adaptation and internal integration-that has worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems”.,Translation Skill Semantic Extension,（翻译技巧,词义引申）,Nouns,（词义转译）；,Concretizing,（词义具体化）；,Abstracting,（词义抽象化）；,（词的搭配）。,词义的引申是指在一个词所具有的原始意义的基础上，根据上下文和逻辑关系进一步加以引申，选择适当确切的目标语词语来表达，避免生搬硬套地逐句死译，使译文更加通顺流畅。值得注意的是，词义的引申不得超出原始意义所允许的范围。,词 义 转 译,翻译时，如果完全生搬硬套字典所给的字面意思，“对号入座”，会使译文生硬晦涩，含糊不清，甚至令人不知所云。因此，,遇到一些无法直译的词或词组时，应根据上下文和原词的字面意思，作适当的转化。,Like any precision device, the monitor of methane requires careful,treatment,.,译：跟任何精密仪器一样，瓦斯监测仪也需要精心,维护,。（不译“待遇”）,The factors which are likely to influence investment spending,do not stop here,.,译：可能影响投资开支的因素,并不止这些,。（不译“不停留在这里”）,Solar energy seems to,offer more hope,than any other source of energy.,译：太阳能似乎比其他能源,更有前途,。（不译“提供更多希望”）,Whether you like it or not, globalization,is here to stay,.

boundaries.,译：作为管理训练一个领域的国际商务,具有,跨国商务活动的专门特征。（不译“安排，处理，涉及，做生意”）,词义的具体化,英语中常用代表抽象意义的词表示一种具体事物，译成汉语时一般须作具体化的引申，否则意义会不明朗。因此，,翻译时应根据汉语的表达习惯，把文中抽象笼统的词语引申为意义明确具体的词语。,The purpose of a driller is,to holes,.,译：钻机的功能是,钻孔,。（不译“洞”）,There is more to their life than political and social and economic problem, more than transient,everydayness,.,译：他们的生活远不止那些政治的、社会的和经济的问题，远不止一时的,柴米油盐问题,。,（不译“日常性”）,The

have been raised demanding,the setting up of an Arab common market,译：,许多人要求,建立阿拉伯共同市场。（不译“许多声音”）,词义的抽象化,翻译时把原文中词义较具体的词引申为词义较抽象的词，或把词义较形象的词引申为词义较一般的词。,The major contributors,in component technology have been the semi-conductor components.,译：元件技术中,起主要作用,的是半导体元件。（不译”主要贡献者“）,The interest rates have,see-sawed,between 10 and 15 percent.,译：利率一直在,10,到,15,之间不断,波动,。,（不译“跷跷板一上一下的交替摆动” ）,There were times

circuit technology.,译：我们要,完全掌握,集成电路，还必须经过三个阶段。（不译”毕业于“）,词的搭配,翻译时遇到动词、形容词与名词搭配时，应根据汉语的搭配习惯，而不应受原文字面意义的束缚。,The iron ore used,to make,steel comes from open-pit and underground mines.,译：,炼钢,用的铁矿石来自露天开采的矿山和地下矿井。（不译“制造刚”）,An insulator offers a very,high resistance,to the passage through which electric current goes.,译：绝缘体对电流通过有,很大阻力,。（不译“高阻力”）,The translation of

ripples,译：他便在她身边不停地飞来飞去，用他的翅膀,点,水，,激起,许多银色的连猗。,(touch,不译“触摸”、“触及”，,make,不译“制造”、“做出”、“使”,),Translation Skill Semantic Extension,（翻译技巧,词量增减）,Nouns,（词量增加）；,Concretizing,（词量减少）。,词量增减是指在英译汉时，根据汉语的习惯，在译文中增加一些原文中无其形而有其意的词，或减去原文中某些在译文中属于多于的词。,词量增加,Mater can be changed into energy, and energy into mater.,译：物质可以转化为能，能也,可以转化,为物质。（增补英语中省略的词）,The best conductor has the least resistance and the poorest has the greatest.,译：最好的导体电阻最小，最差的,导体电阻,最大（增补英语中省略的词）,If A is equal to D, A plus B equals D plus

Conversion,（翻译技巧,词性转换）,转译成汉语动词；,转译成汉语名词；,转译成汉语形容词；,转译成汉语副词。,由于英汉两种语言属于不同的语系，所以它们在语言结构与表达形式方面各有特点。要使译文既忠实于原意，又顺畅可读，就不能局限于逐词对等，必须采用适当的词性转换。,转译成汉语动词,A change of,state from a solid to a liquid form

times,上述三种句型，虽其结构各异，但所表达的概念完全一样。因此在译成汉语时彼此之间不应有所区别。均可译成：,“,A,的大小（长度、重量、,）是,B,的,N,倍。,”,或,“,A,比,B,大（长、重、,）,N-1,倍。,”,This substance reacts,three times as fast as,the other one.,译：这一物质的反应速率比另一物质,快两倍,。,In case of electronic scanning the beam width is,broader by a factor of two.,译：电子扫描时，波束宽度,扩大一倍,。,结构的译法,倍数的增加,double,主语,+,谓语,treble,quadruple,double,可译成,“,增加一倍,”,或,“,翻一番,”,treble,可译成,“,增加两倍,”,或,“,翻两番,”,quadruple,可译成,“,增加三倍,”,或,“,翻三番,”,Whenever we,double,the force on a given object, we,double,the acceleration.,译：每当作用在某一给定物体上的力,增加一倍,，加速度也,增加一倍。,+,结构的译法,increase N times,increase to N times,increase by N times,increase N-fold,increase by a factor of N,上述,5,种结构表达的意思完全一致。均表示,“,乘以,N,”,、,“,成,N,倍,”,这一概念，因此应译成,“,增加到,N,倍,”,或,“,增加了,N-1,倍,”,。,A temperature rise of 100 increases the conductivity of a semiconductor,by 50 times,.,译：温度上升,100,，半导体的电导率就增加到,50,倍。,Since the first transatlantic telephone cable was laid the annual total of telephone calls between UK and Canada has,increased
