长句的翻译;;1. 按原文结构次序译 There are swift-flowing rivers, slow, sluggish rivers, mighty rivers with several mouths, rivers that carry vast loads of alluvium to the sea, clear, limpid rivers, rivers that at some seasons of the year have very much more water than at others, rivers that are made to generate vast quantities of electricity by their power, and rivers that carry great volumes of traffic.  有的河水流湍急，有的河流速缓慢，有的大河出海口有好几个，有的河带着大量冲积土入海，有的河清澈见底，有的河的水量在一年中的某些季节里较少，在某些季节里却多得多，有的河利用其动力大量发电，有的河负担的运输量很大。 ;;;;;The election which has led to your being chosen to preside over this Assembly —a very wise choice indeed—is a tribute to your great country, which has contributed to the development of the history of free nations a tradition of peace that serves as an example for the legal community that we constitute , a country which has always commanded respect and admiration from all corners of the world . 这次选举你为本届大会的主席，实是极为明智的抉择，是对你的伟大国家的敬意。贵国对自由国家的历史发展贡献了一种和平传统，这一传统是我们法治社会的榜样。全世界都一贯对贵国表示尊重和敬佩。 ;;;;;;;;;下面看一些汉英翻译的例子 雨后， 院里来了个麻雀， 刚长全了羽毛。它在院里跳， 有时飞一下， 不过是由地上飞到花盆沿上， 或由花盆上飞下来。看它这么飞了两三次， 我看出来：它并不会飞得再高一些， 它的左翅的几个长翎拧在一处， 有一根特别的长， 似乎要脱落下来。 As soon as the rain stopped, a sparrow, almost full-fledged, flew into the courtyard. It hopped around, fluttered at times, darting up to the edge of the flowerpot and back to the ground again. Watching it move up and down like this a couple of times, I realized that it could not fly any higher as the plumes on its left wing have got twisted, and one is sticking out as if about to come off any moment. 析：汉语句群里往往有些词或词组重复出现。有时作为一种修辞手段 , 加强语气。原文中描述一个受伤的小麻雀飞翔的情况，出现了多达五次的“飞”字，使句群内部语义连贯，主题突出。 但英文行文往往避免词语重复现象，而且事实上小麻雀飞的具体动作并不完全一样，因此，译文围绕主题，采用近义词替换的方式，分别用“ flew into ”、“ fluttered ”、“ darting up ”、“ move up and down ”、“ fly ”等词和词组，确切地表达了词语意义，也实现了句群的语义连贯。 ;;;;;;;;
