英语四级翻译技巧合集.docVIP

2012年英语四级翻译基本技能篇强调句一 第一步：四级精彩套句展示 It is universally acknowledged that + 句子（全世界都知道…） 这是一个在四级作文里面用来阐述观点的经典句型，用词也很出色。 　It is universally acknowledged that trees are indispensable to us.? 全世界都知道树木对我们是不可或缺的。 It is…that + 句子…构成强调句型（The Emphatic Pattern） 　　英语常用的强调结构是“It is/was+被强调部分（主语、宾语或状语）+ who（that）…”。一般说来，被强调部分指人时，用who；指事物时，用that；在美国英语中指事物时常用which来代替that。 　　与之类似的常用句型还有： 　　It is conceivable that + 句子（可想而知的） 　　It is obvious that + 句子（明显的） 　　It is apparent that + 句子（显然的） 　It is conceivable that knowledge plays an important role in our life.? 可想而知，知识在我们的一生中扮演一个重要的角色。 　练习一　 　1. 直到最后一刻，我才得知事情的传闻。 　　2. 他是否接受我的观点，我并不在乎。 　　3. 我不应干预此类事。 　　4. 在拥挤的公交车上抽烟，是不礼貌的行为。 　　5. 爱迪生是位真正的天才，这是不容置疑的。 　1. It was at the eleventh hour that I got wind of what was going on. 　　2. It does not matter whether he accepts my opinions or not. 　　3. It is not my place to interfere in such affairs. 　　4. It is impolite behavior to smoke in a crowded bus. 　　5. It is undeniable that Edison was a genius in the truest sense of the word. 强调句二 (1) 一般情况用It is (was)…that (who)…，指人时，用who；指物时，用that。 　　我们分别可以强调主语、宾语、表语、时间状语和地点状语等。如： 　He read three books in the library yesterday.（正常句子） 　It was he who read three books in the library yesterday.（强调主语） 　It was three books that he read in the library yesterday.（强调宾语） 　It was in the library that he read three books yesterday.（强调地点状语） (2) 强调状语或定语时，只用that，不用when、where，如： 　　It is at 5 o’clock that the train will arrive. (3) 被强调的部分是主语时，注意句子的谓语动词和被强调的主语保持一致。如： 　　It is he who is late. 　　It is they who were late. (4) 一般疑问句的强调句为“Is (was) it + that…?”；特殊疑问句为：“特殊疑问词+ is (was) +it +that…?”结构。如： 　Was it ten years ago that his father died? 他的父亲是十年前去世的吗？ 　When is it that you will set off?你到底什么时候出发？ (5)“not…until…”句型的强调结构为“It is not until…that…”应注意把否定词not转移到until前面。如： 　　I didn’t go home until the rain stopped.（直到雨停了我才回家）。 　　强调句为：It was not until the rain stopped that I went home. 　　I didn’t know the news until yesterday.（直到昨天我才知道那个消息） 　　强调句为：It was not until yesterday that I knew the news.
