Chapter13 长句的译法.ppt

长句的翻译 If she had long lost the blue-eyed, flower-like charm, the cool slim purity of face and form, the apple-blossom coloring which had so swiftly and oddly affected Ashurst(艾舍斯特) twenty-six years ago, she was still at forty-three a comely and faithful companion, whose cheeks were faintly mottled, and whose grey-blue eyes had acquired a certain fullness. 如果说她早已失掉了那蔚蓝色眼睛的、花儿般的魅力，也失掉了她脸儿和身段的玉洁冰清、苗条多姿的气质和那苹果花似的颜色—二十六年前这种花容月貌曾那样迅速而奇妙地影响过艾舍斯特—那么在四十三岁的今天，她依旧是那个好看而忠实的伴侣，不过两颊淡淡地有点儿斑驳，而灰蓝的眼睛也已经有了点儿饱满。 2) Captured documents which we have obtained from individuals who had been infiltrated through this corridor plus prisoner-of-war reports that we have obtained in recent month led us to believe that the volume of infiltration has expanded substantially. 我们从经由这个走廊渗透进来的人身上缴获的文件，加上近几个月从战俘那里得到的口供，使我们相信，渗透的规模确实扩大。 一、顺序法 顺序法 有些英语长句所叙述的一连窜动作基本上是按动作发生的时间先后安排，也有些英语长句的内容是按逻辑关系安排，这与汉语表达方法比较一致，因此翻译时 一般可以按照原文顺序译出。 1.
