Pre-reading Questions
Describe a career you’re likely to pursue in the future. Don’t mention its name but ask your classmates to guess what it is. The job I’d prefer to take has a flexible working schedule. I don’t have to be at work exactly on time. Much of my time will be spent sitting in front of the computer or going through the work written by others. When work is due, I will have to burn the midnight oil. But when there is no work, I can take time to enjoy myself even if I’m still at work. This job needs a lot of initiative and independence. I’ll have to contact potential writers all by myself and choose the topics and books that might sell well or have good academic value. I’ll need to be very careful, doing the proofreading many times until a book is finally published.

Part IV Translation & Writing
1. Translation Skills 2. Writing Practice
48
Translation Skills 限制性定语从句翻译 前置法 后置法 融合法 转换法
49
Translation Skills 限制性定语从句对所修饰的先行词起限制作用,与先行词关系密切,不用逗号分开。译者在翻译时要根据相互关系和限制的紧密程度安排译文修饰部分的位置和逻辑关系。这类句子的翻译可以用以下方式处理: 前置法 后置法 融合法 转换法
50
Translation Skills 把英语限制性定语从句译成汉语中带“…的”的定语词组,从而使英语复合句变成汉语单句。这种处理方法适合关系简单、直接和较短的定语从句类型。 前置法 Those who do not wish to go need not go. 凡是不愿意去的人就不必去。
51
He who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.
Translation Skills He who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. 没有吃过苦的人不知道什么是甜。 She had been too proud to admit the emotion (情感) which her heart felt. 她太骄傲了,不肯让心里的感情流露出来。
52
Translation Skills 如果从句结构较长、关系复杂,或译成汉语前置定语词组太啰嗦而且不符合汉语表达习惯,译者可以译成后置的并列分句。但是应注意分析修饰和限定关系,安排符合原句意义表达的逻辑关系。 后置法
53
A good deal went on in the farm which he — her father — did not know.
Translation Skills A good deal went on in the farm which he — her father — did not know. 农庄里发生了许多事情,他 ─ 她的父亲 ─ 并不知道。(并列) He will show her the place where they could make her look like a lady — for next to nothing. 他可以把她带到那个地方去,在那里他们会把她打扮成一个淑女,而且花不了几个钱。(并列)
54
Translation Skills 融合法
融合法是把原句中的主语和定语从句融合在一起,译成一个独立的句子。比如英语中“there are / is …”的句型处理,或者将定语从句转化而成的谓语,与将英语主句压缩成汉语词组而形成的主语结合起来,构成一个独立的汉语句子。
55
与前一种人相反,另一种人习惯于干得比他应该干的要多,付给他多少报酬他都乐于接受,这种人哪里都很罕见。
Translation Skills There was another person who seemed to have answers 另外一个人似乎胸有成竹。 His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than what is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare everywhere. 与前一种人相反,另一种人习惯于干得比他应该干的要多,付给他多少报酬他都乐于接受,这种人哪里都很罕见。
