　　考研英譯漢復(fù)習(xí)方法及解題技巧

　　1) 略讀全文

　　在翻譯過程中，理解是表達(dá)的前提，因此，首先要略讀全文，從整體上把握整篇文章的內(nèi)容，并理解劃線部分與文章其他部分之間的語法及邏輯關(guān)系。

　　2) 分析劃線部分

　　劃線部分一般來說句子結(jié)構(gòu)都比較復(fù)雜，如果高不清楚句子結(jié)構(gòu)，很難做出正確的翻譯。分析劃線句子結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)，要注意分清主從句，哪是句子的主干。其次，要理解劃線句子的意義，不僅要弄清句子表面的意義，還要理解在特定的語言環(huán)境中的意義。也要特別注意句子中的代詞和所指代的意義。另外，要注意句子中包含的短語和固定結(jié)構(gòu)，這也往往是考點(diǎn)。

　　3) 翻譯

　　正確理解原文后，接下來就是翻譯。關(guān)鍵是綜合運(yùn)用各種翻譯方法將英文的原意忠實(shí)的表達(dá)出來。關(guān)于翻譯，有直譯和意譯兩種方法，只是我們很多人都沒有理解直譯和意譯的區(qū)別，從以上所談的英漢區(qū)別可知，不可能存在絕對(duì)的直譯，因?yàn)楫吘箖煞N語言相差太大，任何直譯都是經(jīng)過一定變通之后的直譯，但有的人以為這便是意譯是錯(cuò)誤的，意譯一般在文學(xué)翻譯中才會(huì)出現(xiàn)。要做好翻譯，關(guān)鍵要有正確的翻譯意識(shí)，前面所說的技巧是必須用的，把握了這一點(diǎn)，也就具備了做好英語翻譯題的前提。

　　主要有如下翻譯技巧。

　　1)分譯法。翻譯部分句子，大多為復(fù)雜從句，而漢語中沒有與之一一對(duì)應(yīng)的從句，因此，要翻譯出來讓人看懂，就必須將其拆開，分譯成各個(gè)單句。

　　轉(zhuǎn)譯法。很多被動(dòng)語態(tài)如果機(jī)械的翻成被動(dòng)語態(tài)，可能會(huì)讓人看了覺得別扭，因此需要轉(zhuǎn)為主動(dòng)態(tài)。此外，還有否定轉(zhuǎn)譯等各種情況。

　　2. 添減詞法。由于英漢兩種語言的差異，在英文看上去比較正常的句子，譯成漢語時(shí)，如果不或增或減一些詞可能無法把英文的原意表達(dá)出來，這樣就需要適當(dāng)?shù)剡\(yùn)用添減詞法。

　　3. 單復(fù)數(shù)譯法。單復(fù)數(shù)要譯出。

　　4. 時(shí)態(tài)的譯法。英語中有專門表示時(shí)態(tài)的句子成分，而漢語則沒有，因此，有時(shí)必須加一些表時(shí)間的副詞，如“著，了，在“等。

　　5. 代詞的譯法。代詞一般需要轉(zhuǎn)譯成名詞，即把其所指代的意義譯出。

　　6. 人名地名的譯法。知道的可以譯出來，不知道就保持原文。

　　4)校核

　　校核主要有三方面：一是檢查譯文是否忠實(shí)于原文。通過把譯文和原文對(duì)照比較往往能發(fā)現(xiàn)問題;二是檢查譯文本身是否通順或表達(dá)清楚。三是檢查譯文是否有筆誤，是否有漏譯詞，是否有代詞未轉(zhuǎn)譯，時(shí)態(tài)是否譯出，數(shù)字、日期是否譯錯(cuò)，標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)是否用錯(cuò)等。
