关于英语定语从句的翻译
1、This is the singer about whom they always talk.2、I still remember the days during which i lived in the countryside.3、There are a lot of books in my study,some of which are written in English. 4、定语从句的翻译英语中,定语从句分成限制性从句与非限制性从句两种。
他们在英语中的位置一般是在其所修饰的先行词后面。
限定性定语从句与非限定性定语从句的其别只是在于限制意义的强弱。
而汉语中定语作为修饰语通常在其所修饰的词前面,并且没有限制意义的强弱之分,因此,限制与非限制在翻译中并不起十分重要的作用。
英语中多用结构复杂的定语从句,而汉语中修饰语则不宜臃肿。
所以,在翻译定语从句时,一定要考虑到汉语的表达习惯。
从结构上分析,常见的定语从句翻译方法:一、前置法:把定语从句翻译到所修饰的先行词前面,可以用“的”来连接。
既然定语从句的意义是作定语修饰语,所以在翻译的时候,通常把较短的定语从句译成带“的”的前置定语,翻译在定语从句的先行词前面。
He who has nevertasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.没有吃过苦的人不知道什么是甜。
Space and oceans are thenew world which scientists are trying to explore.太空和海洋是科学家们努力探索的新领域。
His laughter, whichwas infectious, broke the silence.他那富有感染力的笑声打破了沉寂。
Harmonious interpersonalrelationship is the primary reason why I enjoy working here.同事之间关系融洽是我喜欢在这工作的主要原因。
二、后置法:把定语从句翻译在所修饰的先行词后面,翻译为并列分句。
英语的英语从句结构常常比较复杂,如果翻译在其修饰的先行词前面的话,会显得定语太臃肿,而无法叙述清楚。
这时,可以把定语从句翻译在先行词后面,译成并列分句。
翻译时可以用两种方法来处理:(一)重复先行词由于定语从句的先行词通常在定语从句中充当句子成分,如果单独把定语从句翻译出来的话,常常需要重复先行词,还可以用代词代替先行词来重复。
China and Japan reachedagreement on the issue of agriculture which was a major barrier for theirbilateral relation since 1996.中日两国最终就农业问题达成了协议,而农业问题自一九九六年起就是两国关系发展的主要障碍。
We wish to express our satisfaction at this to the SpecialCommittee, whose activities deserve to be encouraged.在我们对特别委员会表示满意,特别委员会的工作应该受到鼓励。
You, whosepredecessors scored initial success in astronomical research, have acquireda greater accomplishment in this respect.你们的先辈在天文学研究方面取得了初步的成功,而你们现在则在这一方面获得了更大的成就。
Although he is a green hand,he has enterprise and creativity which are decisive in winning success inthe field.他虽然经验不足,但很有进取心和创造力,而这正是在这一领域获得成功的关键。
(二)省略先行词如果把定语从句翻译在先行词后面,在“通顺、完整”的前提下,有时候可以不用重复先行词。
It is he who receivedthe letter that announced the death of your uncle.是他接到那封信,说你的叔叔去世了。
They worked out anew method by which production has now been rapidly increased.他们制定出一种新方案,采用之后生产已迅速得到提高。
After dinner, the fourkey negotiators resumed their talks, which continued well into the night.饭后,四个主要谈判人物继续进行会谈,一直谈到深夜。
They worked out a new method bywhich efficiency has now been dramatically improved.他们制订出一种新方案,采用之后工作效率大大提高。
三、融合法:把定语从句和它所修饰的先行词结合在一起翻译。
融合法是指翻译时把主句和定语从句融合成一句简单句,其中的定语从句译成单句中的谓语部分。
由于限制性定语从句与主句关系较紧密,所以,融合法多用于翻译限制性定语从句。
A.定语从句的主句里有“there be”、“to be”等动词时,可以把原句中的主语和定语从句融合在一起,译成简单句。
例如:There is a mandownstairs who wants to see you.楼下有人要见你。
(原句中的主句部分there is a man翻译成“有人”,然后将定语从句译成句子的谓语部分。
)There are some students in the class whodislike studying.在班上总有一些学生不爱学习。
This is the very knife whichhe used to murder the victim.他就是用这把刀谋杀了受害人。
This was the period whenNewton began the research which resulted in the creation of his famous Theory ofGravity.就在这期间,牛顿开始了一项研究。
经过这项研究,他创立了著名的重力理论。
B.定语从句的动词在整个复合句中分量较重,可将其主句压缩成词组译作主语,而把定语从句的动词译作其谓语。
例如:He had great success infootball which made him an idol in the eyes of every football player.他在足球领域取得的成就使他成为每一个足球运动员的偶像。
四、分译法:分译法是指将主句和从句分开翻译的一种方法,主要用于较长的非限制性定语从句里。
采用这种方法可避免句子的冗长和累赘。
有些定语从句在修饰关系上与先行词之间关系显得较为疏远,这时,我们通常会将定语从句译成独立的句子。
One was a violent thunderstorm, the worst Ihad ever seen, which obscured my objective.有一次暴风骤雨,猛烈的程度实在是我平生所鲜见的。
这场暴风雨遮住了我的目标。
Nevertheless the problem was solved successfully, which showed that thecomputations were accurate.不过问题还是圆满地解决了,这说明计算是很精确的。
从定语从句的性质和功能分析,翻译方法:A.表原因The manager was giving adinner for a few people whom he wished especially to talk to or to hear from.经理只宴请了几个人,因为他特别想和这些人谈谈,听听他们的意见。
No one in the company likestheir boss, who is stingy and bad-tempered.公司里没人喜欢他们的老板,因为他脾气暴躁、人又小气。
B.表结果The two countries established formal diplomatic relation, which paved the wayfor the further communication.两国正式建立了外交关系,从而为双方进一步的交流铺平了道路。
They quarreled with each othereveryday, which led to their divorce.他们夫妻二人天天吵架,最终导致离婚。
C.表让步He insisted on buying anothercar, which he actually didn’t need..他坚持要再买一辆车,尽管他并不需要。
My father, who thought itmight not work, supported me.尽管父亲认为这个办法可能不会起作用,但还是支持我。
D.表目的This company, which wants to gettheir new product sold well in the market, is trying hard to perfect itspacking and workmanship.为了使新产品在市场热销,这个公司正在全力改进工艺和外包装。
E.表转折She is quite considerate andkind, which her younger sister never is.她非常善良,体贴,而她妹妹却从不这样。
To succeed in this area, oneneeds profound knowledge and experience, which few has.要想在这一领域取得成功,需要渊博的知识及丰富的经验,而很少有人能具备这两点。
F.表条件或假设A new product which hasbeautiful packing, good quality and advertising may very likely be a hit inmarket一种新产品,只要包装精美,质量过硬,宣传得力,就能在市场中热销。
Any one who works hard andnever gives up will succeed.任何人,只要努力工作永不放弃,就能够成功。
独立主格结构主要用于描绘性文字中,其作用相当于一个状语从句,常用来表示时间、原因、条件、行为方式或伴随情况等。
例如:表示时间The meeting being over, all of uswent home. 开完会后我们都回家了。

*注:独立主格结构表示时间、条件或原因时,相当于一个状语从句,一般放在句首,表示原因时还可放在句末;表伴随状况或补充说明时,相当于一个并列句,通常放于句末。
一般独立主格形式与主句逻辑关系松散形式为: n. + -ed\\\/-ing形式; n. +不定式;n. +介词短语; n. +形容词;n. +副词;名词\\\/主格代词+现在分词名词\\\/主格代词与现在分词之间是主动关系。

求英语学习方法
首先你要培养对英语的兴趣,有了兴趣自然印象深刻。
既然背完了,下次见到的时候就要保证认得出来,不然背了是没有用的。
背的时候要大声读出来,不仅要背单词怎么拼,还要背它的中文意思和词性,例如名词,动词,形容词。
你读得多了,看得多了,下次见到它就会有印象。
高中英语大多是选择题,说真的你只要认得就行了,除了写作文常用的单词要会写之外,认得即可。
课文里会有标志性句式,要圈出来。
资料书上一般都会有。
语法不懂,可以去做专题的试题调研,那里有分类,你要弄明白陈述句句式疑问句句式,反义疑问句,还有就近原则,单数复数的用法,各种语法,只要弄清楚道理,选择题再怎么变你都会写
(不同的题隐含着相同的语法)阅读理解是找关键信息,可以对着阅读理解的几个问题找答案,一般问题是按文章内容顺序提的。
归纳性的就要看懂原文才行。
完形填空可以找专项完形填空的书,比如星火来写。
一个字一个字打出来的,我很喜欢英语。
希望你采纳
高中三年应如何学习英语
怎样学法
be more specific They are wasting resources, for example, time, energy and money.” 上面这句话不错,只是转折词“for example”不妥当;应该这样: “They are wasting resources. For example, they use too much time, energy and money.” 不然就要换一换转折词,改用“such as”或“like”: “They are wasting resources, such as (or like) time, energy and money.” 不管任何语言,转折词(transitional words)都扮演着一个重要角色,就是:承先启后,使句子紧凑,段落相吸,对文章结构,有良性作用。
但是有些人几乎没有采用转折词的习惯,结果文句松散,上下文七零八乱,应该避免。
现在把主要转折词,分类列下,供大家参考。
Ⅰ表示“尤有进者”的意思: Again, also, then, besides, further, furthermore, moreover, next, in addition等,如: ① Jason teaches diligently. Besides, he writes a lot. ② English is a useful language. For one thing, it is an official language in the UN. Then, it is widely used in business, science and technology. Ⅱ表示“反意见”: But, however, still, yet, after all, for all that, in spite of, on the contrary, on the other hand等,如: ③ Jim is intelligent but lazy. ④ Singapore is not a big country.On the contrary, it is very small. Ⅲ表示“困果关系”: Therefore, so, hence, thus, accordingly, consequently, as a result 等,如: ⑤ Some people are over-ambitious. As a result, they are usually unhappy. ⑥ Tom did not work hard; hence, he failed. Ⅳ表示“比较关系”: Likewise, similarly, in a like manner 等,如: ⑦ You cannot writes without a pen. Likewise, you cannot cook without rice. ⑧ No one is allowed to speak Mandarin in an English class. Similarly, no one is allowed to speak English in a Mandarin class. Ⅴ表示“举例示范”: For example, in other words, for instance, that is 等,如: ⑨ There are some common errors in his composition. For instance, it is wrong to use he to replace the queen. Ⅵ表示“结束”: To sum up, in brief, in short, on the whole, to conclude 等,如: ⑩ Some say Singapore is a nice place to live in. Others say it is not so nice. It is too competitive. In short, some like Singapore; some do not.Ⅳ表示“比较关系”: Likewise, similarly, in a like manner 等,如: ⑦ You cannot writes without a pen.

英语中为什么会产生非谓语动词
非谓语动词在英语里是一项重要的语言表现形式,它与汉语动词的使用方法习惯很不一样,是不少中国学生容易混淆出错的知识能力要点。
非谓语动词有四个特出的特点: 一,它不能当谓语,因此在同一句子中一定还会另有谓语动词。
象“I running in the morning every day.he named Liping. 就是没有谓语动词的错误的句子。
二,非谓语动词和谓语动词都表示动作,但两者的性质,地位不同。
这是中国学生最不容易理解的地方。
对句子往深层次分析,我们就应该领悟到这一点:与谓语动词的动作对比,非谓语动词的地位是次要的,从属性质的:(1)此动作有时已不是具体的动作,而是概括抽象的一件事,相当于一个名词了;(2)此动作有时即使是具体的动作,但却是从属性的,次要的动作:比如表示原因,条件,时间,目的,临时性的不稳定的伴随动作状态等。
在汉语中,不使用连词也可以在一个句子中连用用几个动词;但在英语中,一个句子只能用一个谓语动词,除了用and 连接的两动词外,其它的两个动词一定要分清主次,从属等内在逻辑关系。
表示原因,条件,目的,时间,临时性的不稳定的伴随动作等动词必须用非谓语或从句来表示。
句子的重心应用作主句谓语动词,句子的次要,伴随,补充的说明部分必须用非谓语或有连词引导的从句。
下面列举一些例句对比说明:1.为了健康,他天天喝牛奶。
为了健康是目的,是次要动作,“喝牛奶”才是唯一的谓语动词;To be more healthy, he drinks milk every day.2.喝牛奶对他有好处,他爱喝牛奶这两处的“喝牛奶”明显地不是具体的喝,而是概括抽象的一件事。
“喝牛奶”在此处就近似地相当于名词“牛奶”.应用Drinking milk动名词来表示。
3,“我喝牛奶肚子痛。
”“喝牛奶”在此处虽然是具体动作,但它和肚子痛有内在逻辑关系,它表示的是原因,是从属地位,“肚子痛”才是主要的谓语动词。
可以用Having drunk some milk, I have some trouble with my stomach.来表示。
也可以用从句“Since I have drunk some milk,I have some trouble with my stomach. 4,“喝牛奶,人健康”,“喝牛奶”与“健康”有逻辑联系,它显然是条件,可以用Drinking milk every day, one will get more healthy来表示。
5,“我喝牛奶呛着了。
”“喝牛奶”和“呛着”也有逻辑联系,它表示时间,可以用“Drinking milk, I choked.来表示。
6,“他坐在那里喝牛奶.”“坐”是稳定的长背景动作,应做谓语动词,而“喝牛奶”却是变动不稳定的的伴随动作,是补充说明,可用非谓语动词:“He sat there,drinking some milk.综上所述,同是“喝牛奶”,但各句子中“喝牛奶”的动作含义和句子地位各不相同。
此“喝牛奶”非彼“喝牛奶”。
除了可以当状语,非谓语动词还可以当定语和补语。
例如:7,The girl standing there was crying.standing 就是the girl 的定语。
8,I found him running in the street. running 就是 found 的宾补。
非谓语动词还可以当表语。
当表语的现在分词和过去分词都相当于形容词,表示特征,状态或人的情绪,情感;当表语的动名词相当于名词,表示一件事情或现象。
例如:9,The book is tiring , while the film is exciting.10.The excited audiences were moved at the exciting play.11.Her job is raising pigs ,she finds that living is working. 三,非谓语动词前不需要形式主语和连词。
1,除了独立主格结构外,非谓语动词都没有形式主语出现在它的前面,如出现了多余的主语那反而是错的句子。
但主语不出现不等于没有主谓关系。
非谓语动词肯定与主句的主语存在着隐含的逻辑主谓关系,如找不出这种关系那一般都是错误的句子。
如“从山上看下去,我们的城市很美丽。
”主句的主语“城市”不会“看”,不存在逻辑主谓关系,只存在动宾关系。
因此不能用“Seeing,而只能用Seen from the mountain , ... 被动的形式来表示。
或用独立主格:“Anybody seeing it from the mountain ,the city looks very beautiful.又比如“听到这个消息,她的眼泪流出来了。
”“眼泪”不会“听”,不存在逻辑主谓关系,因此不能象中文一样直译:Hearing the news,her tears came along her check.应该说:Hearing the news ,she had tears coming along her check. 2,非谓语动词不需要because,as,if,when,while 等连词,但它却已经含有连词的意思。
象 Because not having prepared my lesson,I can't answer the question.就是错的,应删去Because。
反之,如不用非谓语而用从句,那表示原因,条件,时间,伴随,目的的从句前又必须有连词。
而中文却是可以省连词的,如上文的“喝牛奶肚子痛”“喝牛奶,人健康。
”“喝牛奶呛着了”都可以加用连词也可以不用连词。
因此中国学生往往把表示原因,条件,时间,伴随的从句不用连词,不用句号,却要与主句并列在一起,出现“少连词混淆主次”的错误,如:I am poor, I can't buy the house. I am poor显然与后面的句子有逻辑因果关系,应加连词Since或变成“Being poor,I can't buy the the house. 有时中国学生又会犯两个分句都用连词的错误,如:“因为我病了,所以今天我不能上学”译成:Because I am ill, so I can't go to school today.在英语中有连词的句子都是次要,从属地位的从句,如两个分句象中文一样都用连词,那就没有表示句子主要意思的主句了。
这便是“多连词导致无主句”错误。
同理,如非谓语动词短语后的句子用连词,也等于犯了“无主句”的错误。
四,非谓语动词具有谓语动词的有宾语,有状语等特征。
1,及物的非谓语动词后要带宾语,是双宾动词还要带两个宾语,象上面的句子如用Anybody seeing from the mountain, ........就是不好的句子,因为及物非谓语动词seeing没有带宾语。
2,不及物的非谓语动词后当然不会有宾语。
3,过去分词后不能出现宾语,因主句的主语就是它的逻辑宾语。
象Heated the water ,it will turn into stream.就是错的,the water 应删去。
当然,带双宾的非谓语动词后还需带一个宾语:“Told the students many times, the importance is paid attention to. 以上知识能力要点都是要靠理解,领悟,不是靠死记硬背的。
下面让我们做一点练习来加深理解。
注意两动作的主次逻辑关系,注意“无形式主语”“无连词”“不能多用连词 ”等非谓语动词特点.
什么时候要用独立主格呢?
独立主格的句子都可以转化成状语从句。
独立主格在功能上和状语从句一样,都是作主句状语。
只是独立主格有自己的逻辑主语和谓语,状语从句只有一个主语和谓语,在主句里。
比如独立主格:Time permitting ,we will go to park.这里面Time permitting名词+分词, 构成独立主格,逻辑主语是Time ,逻辑谓语是permitting。
状语从句:If time permits, we will go to park,主语是we 独立主格转化成状语从句,有时候句子表达的感觉会有一点不同。
独立主格很灵活,句式简单就可以表达丰富意思。
在地道口语中,经常被使用。
状语从句一般书面文中见得比较多。
