翻译赏析 To such length did she go in rehearsal that two actors walked out. 译文：她在排演中搞得太过分，以致两名男演员退出不干了。 分析：such…that 结构可将such或含有such 的词组放在句首，使全句采用部分倒装。与此用法类似的还有so…that结构。 Foreigners……will be able to understand many aspects……为句子的主干结构，who引导一个定语从句修饰foreigners，该从具有条件意味，可翻译为“如果…”. To which引导一个定语从句修饰degree，notion后的that从句为其同位语从句。 That otherwise…sense为定语从句修饰many aspects of American behavior and thinking Old Henry and his wife Phoebe were as fond of each other as it is possible for two old people to be who have nothing else in this life to be fond of. 译文：象两位老人一生中没有其它什幺东西可爱而彼此相爱一样，老亨利和他的妻子芬比也互相爱慕。 分析：连词as 引导的比较状语从句中，it 代替for two old people to be。to be 后省略了fond of each other。to be 做分割成分。 * Foreigners who understand the degree to which Americans are imbued with the notion that the free, self-reliant individual is the ideal kind of human being will be able to understand many aspects of American behavior and thinking that otherwise might not make sense. 译文：如果外国人了解美国人受这种观念的熏陶之深，即自由的、自力更生的人是理想的人，他就能理解美国人行为和思想的许多方面，否则便会困惑不解. *
