一、名词性从句

  名词从句包括主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句。在翻译时,大多数语序可以不变,即可按原文的顺序译成相应的汉语。但有时也需要一些其他处理方法。下面我们就来分两期仔细看看!

  1、主语从句:

  构成主语从句的方式有下列两种:

  (1)关联词或从属连词位于句首的从句+主句谓语+其他成分。

  它们一般是译在句首,作为主从复合句的主语。这样的词有关联词whatwhichhowwhywherewhowhateverwhoeverwheneverwherever及从属连词thatwhetherif.如:

  例题1What he told me was only half-truth.
  分  析:其中关联词可译“…的”,放在后面。


参考译文:他告诉我的只是些半真半假的东西而已。

  例题2Whether an organism is a plant or an animal sometimes taxes the brain of a biologist.


分  析:whether可以译成“是否,是…还是”,然后适当安排位置。
  参考译文:一种生物究竟是植物还是动物,有时使生物学家颇伤脑筋。

  (2it+谓语+thatwhether)引导的从句。

  如果先译主句,可以顺译为无人称句。有时也可先译从句,再译主句。如果先译从句,便可以在主句前加译这。如:

  例题3It can be seen that precleaning alone would not reduce the total sulfur 1 content of the four coals to levels anywhere near the standards.


分  析:这样的句子可以译成无人称句,常用来表示事实,常理等。
  参考译文:可以看出,这四种煤的总含硫量仅靠预先洗选将不能降低到完全接近标准规定的水平。

  例题4It is a matter of common experience that bodies are lighter 2 in water than they are in air.
  分   析:有时为了使译文成分完整,可以补充上泛指的主语(如人们、大家)。类似的结构还有:it isuniversallyknown that…大家都知道…it is believed that…人们都相信
   
参考译文:物体在水中比在空气中轻,这是一种大家共有的经验。
  2、表语从句:

  (1)表语从句是位于主句的联系动词后面、充当主句主语的表语的从句,它也是由thatwhatwhyhowwhenwherewhether等连词和关联词引导的。一般来讲,可以先译主句,后译从句。如:

  例题5The result of invention of steam engine was that human power was replaced by mechanical power.
  分  析:先译后面的主句,后译前面的从句。
  参考译文:蒸汽机发明的结果是机械力代替了人力。

  (2)几种常见句型,以下逐一介绍它们的译法。

  thatthisis why…句型中,如果选择先译主句,后译从句,可以译成这就是为什么,这就是为什么的原因,这就是的缘故等。如果选择先译从句,再译主句,一般可以译为原因就在这里,理由就在这里等。如:

  例题6That is why practice is the criterion of truth and whythe standard of practice should be first and fundamental in the theory of knowledge
  分  析:原句表语很长,所以此处采用了紧缩原则。
  参考译文:所谓实践是真理的标准,所谓实践的标准,应该是认识论的首先的和基本的观点,理由就在这个地方。

  thisitis because…句型中,一般先译主句,再译从句,译成是因为,这是因为的缘故,这是由于的缘故。如:

  例题7This is because the direct current flows in a wire always in one direction.
  参考译文:这是由于直流电在导线中总沿着一个方向流动的缘故。
  
  this is what…句型中,如果先译主句,后译从句,通常译为这就是的内容,这就是的含意等。如果先译从句,后译主句,通常译为就是这个道理,就是这个意思等。如:
  例题8this is what we have discussed in this article.


分  析:如表语不长,则可译成这就是的内容等。


参考译文:这就是我们在本文中所讨论的内容。
