五．晦涩长句理解与翻译;在翻译中，原文难度大、句子繁复、作者表达晦涩和作品的文化背景复杂等因素，使得翻译极其艰难。运用简明的语法法则，梳理长句子、复杂句子以及句子里令人困惑的难点，是把文字翻译做到更高层次的有效方法。 [1] Murmurously beyond their windows, yet so close they might be in the cloud of it, the beech accepts, leaf upon leaf, shelves and stairs of continuous dripping, the rain. 误译：窗外的山毛榉离得这么近，他们的房间大概也在它的树冠下面，它发出低沉和不停顿的响声，用一片片叶子把雨水接受下来，然后再让它们一层层一阶阶地连续流淌下来。 改译：他们的窗户上方在沙沙作响，不过窗户或许离枝叶茂盛的树冠很近，山毛榉把雨接住，叶子层层叠叠，持续不停的滴落在层层下淌，在节节下淌。 评析：这句话的核心成分，也就是主句，是the beech accepts the rain（山毛榉把雨接住），主、谓、宾分明，只是中间插入了两个短语，误译的问题是没有按这样的句序去处理，而是颠倒语序，乱加词汇。改译基本是顺着原文往下翻译的。;;;;;;;;;;[6] What are the perspectives of the national liberation movement and the relations between China and the Third World countries?
