计算机英语的翻译技巧 （一）词义选择 计算机英语中的专业词汇大多是通过借用或引申原义等手段转变而来。这就使得计算机英语翻译在词义选择上不仅要注意一词多义的区别，还要注意其作为计算机专业词汇的不同词义。 A bus is simply a bundle of wires that carry signals and power between different components. 总线 只不过是在不同构建之间传输信号和供电的一束导线。 Next, you want to look down the list of check boxes and radio buttons to find the one that says “Show hidden files and folders”. 接下来，你要往下浏览复选框和单选按钮列表，找到“显示隐藏文件和文件夹”单选钮。 The computer memory locations are called variables because they hold values that may vary. 计算机存储单元称为变量，因为它们所保存的值可以变化。 The speed at which information can be transmitted across the Internet depends on the lowest information transporting capacity along the route and the number of people using that route at any given time. 因特网上的信息传输速度取决于路径的最低信息传输容量和在任何特定时间使用该路径的人数。 To be part of the Internet, a computer must have a unique Internet Protocol network address so that messages can be correctly routed to and from the machine over the Internet. 要成为英特网的一部分，一台计算机必须拥有一个独特的网址，以便信息能够通过因特网按正确的路径从该机器接受或发送。 Some command interpreters are text-oriented, requiring commands to be typed in or to be selected via function keys on a keyboard. 一些命令解释器是面向文本的，需要健入命令或通过键盘上的功能键选择命令。 Procedure and function statements define certain blocks of code as procedures or functions that can then be returned to later in the program. 过程和函数语句将某些代码块定义为以后可在程序中回调的过程或函数。 (二）词性，句子成分，句子类型的转换 英汉两种语言存在很大差异，如果拘泥于原文单词或句子的语法特征，势必产生蹩脚生硬的翻译。因此，在忠实于原文的情况下，要敢于突破语法框框，对词性，句子成分，句子类型进行变通转换，以使译文自然流畅，符合汉语习惯。 Multithreading is a necessity in multimedia and network programming. 多线程操作在多媒体与网络编程中必不可少。 An e-mail is formatted similarly to a memo. 电子邮件的格式编排类似于备忘录。 Consequently, the world is full of poorly designed database. 因此，设计糟糕的数据库比比皆是。 The language allows a concise expression of arithmetic and logic process. 这种语言能简要表达算术和逻辑关系。 The communication system is chiefly characterized by its simplicity of operation. 这种通信系统的主要特点是操作简单。 The information Superhighway is a collection of computers, networks, online services, telephone lines, satellites, fiber optic
