1. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class , an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business.
[句子主干]Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased …shareholders as a class, (which was) an element…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]本句是典型的非限定性定語(yǔ)從句,難點(diǎn)在其主語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ)都有較長(zhǎng)的短語(yǔ)和of結(jié)構(gòu)限定,并且分句是由兩個(gè)and相連的3個(gè)部分組成的。分句an element…landowners 又帶有兩個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,一個(gè)是(which was)representing… ,另一個(gè)是(which was)detached…。
可見(jiàn),定語(yǔ)從句的難點(diǎn)在于經(jīng)常省略“引導(dǎo)詞+be”的結(jié)構(gòu),從而在理解上容易和分詞結(jié)構(gòu)相混淆。
[句子翻譯] 對(duì)資本和企業(yè)的這種大規(guī)模的非個(gè)人操縱大大增加了股東作為一個(gè)階級(jí)的數(shù)量和重要性。這個(gè)階層作為國(guó)計(jì)民生的一部分,代表了非個(gè)人責(zé)任的財(cái)富與土地及土地所有者應(yīng)盡義務(wù)的分離,而且也幾乎與責(zé)任管理相分離。
[翻譯技巧] 實(shí)際上定語(yǔ)從句并不符合漢語(yǔ)的使用習(xí)慣。所以翻譯時(shí)遇上定語(yǔ)從句,一定不要機(jī)械地按照原來(lái)的順序生搬硬套。像這樣分句較長(zhǎng)的情況,把主句和分句拆為兩句是比較好的方法。所以這里從“這個(gè)階層”開(kāi)始另起一句。
2.Towns like Bournemouth and Eastboune sprang up to house large. " comfonable" classes who had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholders' meeting to dictate their orders to the management.
[句子主干]Towns…sprang up…classes who…, and who…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]
1)有并列從句。分析句子主干很容易看到這也是一個(gè)典型的定語(yǔ)從句結(jié)構(gòu),分句由who…,and who…兩個(gè)并列結(jié)構(gòu)組成。注意like并不是謂語(yǔ)而是介詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ),真正的主句謂語(yǔ)是sprang of。retire on指“依靠什么而退休(多跟表收入的名詞)”。
2)that of drawing dividends 結(jié)構(gòu)中,draw是收取的意思,dividend指紅利,that of sth結(jié)構(gòu)是名詞性的,that of sth相當(dāng)于which is結(jié)構(gòu),目的都是修飾前面的名詞。注意后面還有attending…是省略了which were的定語(yǔ)從句,把of sth結(jié)構(gòu)和定語(yǔ)從句交替使用是英語(yǔ)中長(zhǎng)難句的慣用手法,目的是避免行文的單調(diào),考生朋友們要注意分辨。
[句子翻譯] 像Bournemouth和Eastboune這樣的城市興起了,大批隱退的享樂(lè)階層人士靠自己的收入,在這里過(guò)著悠閑的生活。他們與群體之外的人沒(méi)有聯(lián)系,只是分取紅利,偶爾參加股東會(huì)議,對(duì)管理人員發(fā)號(hào)施令。
[翻譯技巧]同樣是為了避開(kāi)定語(yǔ)從句,將主句和分句拆為兩句。要注意幾個(gè)短語(yǔ)的理解。
retire on依靠……退休/have…relation…to與……有關(guān)系/up to 達(dá)到……的規(guī)模
3.Robert Fulton once wrote, "The mechanic should sit down among levers, screws, wedges, wheels, etc. ,like a poet among the letters of the alphabet , considering them as an exhibition of his thoughts, in which a new arrangement transmits a new idea. "
[句子主干]Robert Fulton once wrote, “The mechanic should sit down…, like a …, considering them as…, in which a…”
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有省略。1)like…分句是省略了who 的主語(yǔ)從句中的分句,considering…分句是現(xiàn)在分詞引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句。這個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句可以拿到句首,也可以在句尾。一般來(lái)說(shuō)較長(zhǎng)的狀語(yǔ)從句置于句尾,較短的置于句首,為的是使句子看上去顯得簡(jiǎn)潔一些。
2)like分句中出現(xiàn)了比較多的省略,補(bǔ)全以后是who like a poet who is among the letters…。英語(yǔ)中的從句之所以是難點(diǎn)就是因?yàn)榇罅康厥÷砸龑?dǎo)詞。
[句子翻譯]羅博特·富爾頓曾經(jīng)寫(xiě)道,機(jī)械工將坐在杠桿、螺絲、楔、輪子等周圍,像詩(shī)人對(duì)待字母表中的每個(gè)字母一樣,把它們作為自己的思路展示,每一個(gè)新組合都傳送一個(gè)新概念。
[翻譯技巧]如果嚴(yán)格地翻譯,like分句應(yīng)該譯為“像對(duì)待字母表中字母的詩(shī)人一樣”,原因是這個(gè)從句修飾的是機(jī)械工,應(yīng)該用詩(shī)人來(lái)對(duì)應(yīng),但這樣一來(lái),就不符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣了。
4.Some of these causes are completely reasonable results of social needs. Others are reasonable consequences of particular advances in science being to some extent self-accelerating.
[句子主干]Some of these causes are reasonable results…, Others are consequences of advances…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]主語(yǔ)是some of these causes,實(shí)際的主語(yǔ)就是some,不過(guò)謂語(yǔ)是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)則取決于of后面的成分是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)。being to…是定語(yǔ)從句的分句結(jié)構(gòu),意為“屬于”。
[句子翻譯]在這些原因中,有些完全是自然而然地來(lái)自社會(huì)需求,另一些則是由于科學(xué)在一定程度上自我加速而產(chǎn)生的某些特定發(fā)展的必然結(jié)果。
[翻譯技巧]這個(gè)翻譯比較簡(jiǎn)單,注意being to的翻譯即可。
5.This trend began during the Second World War, when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail.
[句子主干]This trend began during …, when…,that…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]1)有套和從句。這個(gè)句子實(shí)際上是This trend began.其余的成分都是在起修飾和限定作用。在分析長(zhǎng)難句時(shí)一定要注意找出句子的主干,關(guān)鍵是確定句子的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ),只有這樣才不會(huì)被眾多的修飾成分所迷惑。
2)When引導(dǎo)的是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。第一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的是修飾conclusion的定語(yǔ)從句,第二個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的是修飾demands的定語(yǔ)從句,wants前省略了which,是引導(dǎo)的修飾a government的主語(yǔ)從句。
[句子翻譯]這種趨勢(shì)始于第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間,當(dāng)時(shí)一些國(guó)家的政府下了結(jié)論,認(rèn)為:政府向科研機(jī)構(gòu)提出的具體要求通常是無(wú)法詳盡預(yù)見(jiàn)的。
[翻譯技巧]此句中短語(yǔ)較多。
come to the conclusion形成某種結(jié)論/make of提出/in detail詳細(xì)地
6.This seems mostly effectively done by supporting a certain amount of research not related to immediate goals but of possible consequence in the future.
[句子主干]This seems …done by supporting a certain amount of research not…but…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]注意not…but句型,意為“不是……而是……”
[句子翻譯]給某些與當(dāng)前目標(biāo)無(wú)關(guān)但將來(lái)可能產(chǎn)生影響的科研提供支持,看來(lái)通常能有效地解決這一問(wèn)題。
[翻譯技巧]嚴(yán)格說(shuō)來(lái),not…but結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)譯為“不是……而是……”,但這樣就顯得羅嗦,所 以譯為“與……無(wú)關(guān)”,但(另一些有關(guān))。a amount of指“數(shù)量達(dá)到……”。be related to指“與……有關(guān)”。
7.However, the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to deal with some of the world's more fascination and delightful aspects.
[句子主干]However, the world is so made that…systems are …unable to deal with some of the …aspects
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]so made指“如此構(gòu)成”,so和后面的that構(gòu)成so…that結(jié)構(gòu),意為“如此……以至于……”。be…(un)able to指“可以(或不可以)……”。
[句子翻譯]然而,世界就是如此。一般而言,完美的體系無(wú)法解決世界上某些更加引人入勝的課題。
[翻譯技巧]be so made that意為“如…構(gòu)成”,不符合漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)習(xí)慣,所以譯為“就是如此”。
in principle 總的說(shuō)來(lái)/deal with應(yīng)付……
8.New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to new standards of elegance.
[句子主干]New forms…as well as new subjects…must arise…as they have in the past, giving rise to…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有并列從句。1)主語(yǔ)較為復(fù)雜,為并列結(jié)構(gòu),分別是new forms和new subjects,中間用as well as連接。
2)as在這里引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)介詞結(jié)構(gòu)(as they have in the past),have的賓語(yǔ)省略了,其內(nèi)容與本句主語(yǔ)一致。
3)giving rise to…分句為非限定性定語(yǔ)從句的從句,省略了which are。
[句子翻譯]同過(guò)去一樣,將來(lái)必然會(huì)出現(xiàn)新的思維方式和新的思維對(duì)象,給完美以新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
[翻譯技巧]as well as 和,以及/give rise to給……以機(jī)會(huì)
9.For Lloyd Nickson, a 54 year old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally III law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition.
[句子主干]For Lolyd Nicks, the NT Rights…means he can get on with living without…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]插入成分很多。此句實(shí)際上是個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句,其核心結(jié)構(gòu)為Rights means…,只不過(guò)添加了諸多限制結(jié)構(gòu)使句子看起來(lái)很復(fù)雜!盕or Lolyd Nicks”為主句的狀語(yǔ)成分,“a 54-years old…cancer”為L(zhǎng)olyd Nicks的同位語(yǔ)。
[句子翻譯]對(duì)于現(xiàn)年54歲居住在達(dá)爾文的的肺癌患者尼克遜來(lái)說(shuō),這個(gè)法案意味著他可以平靜地生活下去,而無(wú)須終日擔(dān)心將要來(lái)臨的折磨:因呼吸困難而在煎熬中死去。
[翻譯技巧]同位語(yǔ)從句在漢語(yǔ)中很少出現(xiàn),對(duì)同位語(yǔ)從句的處理就把它當(dāng)作定語(yǔ)從句即可。如此句中就將同位語(yǔ)成分作為前置狀語(yǔ)成分的主語(yǔ)的修飾成分即可。haunting fear指“向看到鬼一樣恐懼”,表示非?謶。
10.Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement.
[句子主干]Someone…, if…, often had nowhere to turn except…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有省略現(xiàn)象。traveling不是現(xiàn)在分詞,而是引導(dǎo)修飾someone的定語(yǔ)從句。if引導(dǎo)的從句中均省略了“主語(yǔ)+be動(dòng)詞”的結(jié)構(gòu),這樣顯得句子簡(jiǎn)潔。
[句子翻譯]獨(dú)自旅行時(shí),如果沒(méi)有了食物,受傷了或者生病了,通常只能向最近的小屋或者村落求救。
[翻譯技巧]直譯的話,應(yīng)該說(shuō)人們“沒(méi)有其他地方,只有……”可得到幫助,但這樣寫(xiě)的話顯得冗長(zhǎng)而且費(fèi)解,這里根據(jù)句意,譯為“只能向……求助”就比較準(zhǔn)確了!皌urn”的用法比較靈活,意思很多,這里依據(jù)上下文,譯為“向……求助”。
11.We live a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves.
[句子主干]We live in a society in which…substances is pervasive…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]實(shí)際是簡(jiǎn)單句。此句句子雖長(zhǎng),但是結(jié)構(gòu)并不復(fù)雜,可以從冒號(hào)開(kāi)始分為兩個(gè)部分。理解的時(shí)候要有意識(shí)地把兩部分分開(kāi),個(gè)個(gè)擊破。in which引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句。該從句的分句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是is而不是are,是因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)從句中主語(yǔ)是use,而不是substances,這一點(diǎn)要注意分辨。
[句子翻譯] 在我們生活的社會(huì)里,物質(zhì)(藥品)被廣泛地運(yùn)用于社交和醫(yī)療:服用阿司匹林來(lái)緩解頭疼,喝酒來(lái)應(yīng)酬,早晨和咖啡來(lái)提神,吸煙鎮(zhèn)定情緒等。
[翻譯技巧]該句冒號(hào)以后的內(nèi)容寫(xiě)得很輕巧,很有文學(xué)性,我們翻譯的時(shí)候也不要強(qiáng)求字字照應(yīng),而應(yīng)該也是比較靈活。如quiet不是“安靜”的意思,而是“鎮(zhèn)靜”的意思。
12.Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance, with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect, and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.
[句子主干]Dependence is marked first by…, with…, and then by…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有并列從句和省略。with引導(dǎo)的是伴隨結(jié)構(gòu)作狀語(yǔ),修飾的是整個(gè)第一分句描述的狀態(tài)。and引導(dǎo)的分句省略了謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞marked ,所以要注意其實(shí)該分句并不隸屬于第一分句,而是與之并列的結(jié)構(gòu)。
[句子翻譯] 依賴的最初表現(xiàn)為耐受力增強(qiáng),用量越來(lái)越大才能達(dá)到預(yù)期效果,一旦停用就會(huì)產(chǎn)生不舒服的癥狀。
[翻譯技巧]有些同學(xué)遇上伴隨結(jié)構(gòu)就不知道如何翻譯了,其實(shí)只要按照原來(lái)的語(yǔ)序順次翻譯就是。
13.But he talked as well about the “balanced struggle” between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.
[句子主干]But he talked as well about …, and he announced that…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]該句沒(méi)有從句結(jié)構(gòu),而是由and連接的兩個(gè)并列成分構(gòu)成。用would是因?yàn)楸磉_(dá)了某人的主觀態(tài)度和意愿。
[句子翻譯] 但他也談到了創(chuàng)作自由與社會(huì)責(zé)任之間要“努力保持均衡”這一問(wèn)題。他宣布公司將盡力對(duì)可能招致大眾反對(duì)的音樂(lè)制定各種發(fā)行和標(biāo)識(shí)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
[翻譯技巧]雖然沒(méi)有從句結(jié)構(gòu),但是由于句子太長(zhǎng),有眾多的修飾成分,所以建議還是拆為兩句較好。
14.Average inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2.3% last year, close to its lowest level in 30 years, before rising slightly to 2.5% this July.
[句子主干]Average inflation…fell to a mere…, close to its…, before
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有省略。close to分句是非限定性定語(yǔ)從句,省略了which was。Before后面的成分是對(duì)全句的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明,是狀語(yǔ)成分。狀語(yǔ)成分可以置句首,也可以置句末,并無(wú)定規(guī)。之所以用rising,是因?yàn)檫@里需要一個(gè)名次性的結(jié)構(gòu)the inflation which was,這樣顯得簡(jiǎn)潔得多。
[句子翻譯]七大工業(yè)國(guó)家的通貨膨脹率去年下降到了2.3%,接近30年來(lái)最低水平,今年7月才小幅上漲到2.5%,比許多國(guó)家70年代和80年代兩位數(shù)低了很多。
[翻譯技巧]the big seven industrial economies是指西方七大工業(yè)國(guó)。close to是靠近的意思。fall to是“跌落至……”的意思。
15.Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack.
[句子主干]Economists have been…surprised by…and…, since…,and especially…, have …
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]主句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)have been…是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家長(zhǎng)時(shí)間以來(lái)關(guān)注,現(xiàn)在也在關(guān)注,是一個(gè)從過(guò)去持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動(dòng)作。Since引導(dǎo)的是表原因的狀語(yǔ)從句。
[句子翻譯] 特別讓經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家感到詫異的是,英美兩國(guó)的通貨膨脹帶來(lái)的是良性的結(jié)果,因?yàn)閭鹘y(tǒng)的分析方法表明,兩國(guó)尤其是美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)生產(chǎn)幾乎沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)滑坡。
[翻譯技巧]favorable表示的是“非常好的”,不是“非常喜歡的”,與個(gè)人取向沒(méi)有關(guān)系。productive slack是“生產(chǎn)滑坡”的意思。
16.Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.
[句子主干]Actually it isn’ t, because it assumes that…, which is…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有套合從句。本句為主從復(fù)合句。主句很簡(jiǎn)單,而because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句中,又有一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句。這個(gè)從句中,主語(yǔ)an agreed account of human rights由一個(gè)which引導(dǎo)的飛行定性定語(yǔ)從句修飾,而這個(gè)非限定性定語(yǔ)從句中又有一個(gè)限定性定語(yǔ)從句the world does not have來(lái)修飾something。
[句子翻譯] 事實(shí)并非如此,因?yàn)檫@種問(wèn)法是以人們對(duì)人的權(quán)利有共同的認(rèn)識(shí)為基礎(chǔ)的,而這種共同認(rèn)識(shí)并不存在。
[翻譯技巧]agree為“約定的”意思,agreed account直譯為“約定的看法”,意譯為“共同的認(rèn)識(shí)”?梢(jiàn)翻譯中一定要結(jié)合漢語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言習(xí)慣靈活轉(zhuǎn)換。an agreed account of human rights不可譯為“有同意的人權(quán)記錄”。此外,將不定代詞具體化,也更符合漢語(yǔ)習(xí)慣。
17.Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements.
[句子主干]Some philosophers argue that…, as part of an exchange of…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]該句仍為主從復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句中,as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements充當(dāng)了補(bǔ)充語(yǔ)的角色。
[句子翻譯] 有些哲學(xué)家論證說(shuō),權(quán)利只存在社會(huì)契約中,是責(zé)任與利益相交換的一部分。
[翻譯技巧]要正確選擇contract的詞義,不要譯成從此“收縮,縮小”。argue不要譯成“爭(zhēng)論”,而要靈活處理成“論證說(shuō)”。
18.It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all.
[句子主干]It leads the discussion…: it invites you to think that…, or with…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有并列從句和省略。冒號(hào)把句子分成兩部分,后一部分對(duì)前面部分作進(jìn)一步解釋說(shuō)明。前面部分是簡(jiǎn)單句。后面部分是復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句中,主語(yǔ)是animals,謂語(yǔ)是should be treated,either… or…引導(dǎo)兩個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ),either引導(dǎo)的介詞短語(yǔ)中,humans extend to other humans是一個(gè)省略引導(dǎo)詞that的定語(yǔ)從句。
[句子翻譯] 這種說(shuō)法從一開(kāi)始就將討論引向兩個(gè)極端,它使人們認(rèn)為應(yīng)這樣對(duì)待動(dòng)物:要么像對(duì)人類自身一樣關(guān)切體諒,要么完全冷漠無(wú)情。
[翻譯技巧]it 的所指要明確。leads the discussion to extremes譯成“將討論引向兩個(gè)極端”,at the outset譯成“從一開(kāi)始”。注意把被動(dòng)句譯為主動(dòng)句,更合乎漢語(yǔ)習(xí)慣。
19.Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice.
[句子主干]Arguing from the view that humans are…, extremists of this…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有套和從句。逗號(hào)前面是一個(gè)現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ),作狀語(yǔ),里面又有一個(gè)that從句作the view的同位語(yǔ),逗號(hào)后面的that從句是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句。
[句子翻譯] 這類人持極端看法,認(rèn)為人與動(dòng)物在各相關(guān)方面都不相同,對(duì)待動(dòng)物無(wú)須考慮道德問(wèn)題。
[翻譯技巧]in every relevant respect譯成“各相關(guān)方面”,不要把respect 譯成“尊重”;extremists為極端主義者;let outside the area of moral choice譯成“不在道德范圍內(nèi),不關(guān)乎道德”。
20.When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.
[句子主干]When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is ….instinct…, an instinct that should be…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]以冒號(hào)為界,將全句分成兩個(gè)復(fù)合句。前面的復(fù)合句里,時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句when that happens敘述的是前一句to see…的情形的出現(xiàn)。That修飾這種行為,主句表明這種行為并不錯(cuò)。冒號(hào)后面的復(fù)合句解釋為什么。這里有一個(gè)that從句,作instinct的定語(yǔ)。
[句子翻譯] 這種反應(yīng)并不錯(cuò),這是人類用道德觀念進(jìn)行推理的本能在起作用,這種本能應(yīng)得到鼓勵(lì)而不應(yīng)遭到嘲弄。
[翻譯技巧]將that,it等代詞具體化,使譯文表達(dá)明確;reasoning不能譯成“原因”,而應(yīng)譯為“推理,推論”;in action不能譯成“在行動(dòng)中”,而譯成“在起作用”,action在此是“作用,性能”的意思;翻譯被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)時(shí),使用“得到”,“遭到”等,使譯文流暢自然
21.The Aswan Dam, for example stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left - all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.
[句子主干]The Aswan Dam, …stopped the Nile flooding…but…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有插入語(yǔ)。for example是個(gè)插入結(jié)構(gòu),不是句子的主要成分。but后面省略了the Aswan Dam。注意so…that…結(jié)構(gòu),是“如此……以至于”的意思。
[句子翻譯] 以阿斯旺大壩為例,它擋住了尼羅河的洪水,但也使埃及失去了洪水沖積的肥沃土壤,換回來(lái)的卻是一個(gè)病態(tài)的大水庫(kù),F(xiàn)在水庫(kù)積滿泥沙,幾乎不能用于發(fā)電了。
[翻譯技巧]the Nile是尼羅河。All in return意思是“換回來(lái)的全部則是”。

[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有套和從句。the trouble is that…是表語(yǔ)從句結(jié)構(gòu)。后一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的是修飾rebound的定語(yǔ)從句。
[句子翻譯] 問(wèn)題在于,近期的增長(zhǎng)一定程度上是因?yàn)樯虡I(yè)運(yùn)作周期漲落的結(jié)果,因此還不能得出經(jīng)濟(jì)已經(jīng)呈現(xiàn)復(fù)蘇態(tài)勢(shì)這一結(jié)論。
[翻譯技巧]part of the recent acceleration不可譯為“一部分的最近的加速”,而是“最近加速部分是由于”。business cycle是指“商業(yè)周期”。

[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有插入語(yǔ)。兩個(gè)破折號(hào)中間的成分為插入結(jié)構(gòu),可以視為括號(hào)里面的內(nèi)容。Such as后面的內(nèi)容是對(duì)many other factors的列舉。在閱讀的時(shí)候基本可以跳過(guò)不看,除非后面有細(xì)節(jié)題考查這里的內(nèi)容。

24.His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied re engineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long term profitability.
[句子主干]His colleague,…, says that… ,chopping out costs without giving…
[語(yǔ)法難點(diǎn)]有省略。chopping out costs without giving sufficient …分句是非限定性定語(yǔ)從句。修飾的是前一分句的整體意思。without后面要跟現(xiàn)在分詞giving。

[翻譯技巧]far too many譯為“太多的(比實(shí)際需要)”。re-engineering in a mechanistic fashion應(yīng)譯為“以簡(jiǎn)單機(jī)械的方式”。chop out譯為“削減”。
