Lesson 8 The Planar Motion of a Rigid Body Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Section 8 Section 8（续） 专业英语 工程力学专业 科技英语翻译技巧（七） 数词的译法 (1) 科技英语中大量出现表示数量、倍数增减的词语，在翻译时要特别注意英汉两种语言表达方式的异同。 1、as +形容词+ as + 数词+ …… The temperature at the sun’s center is as high as 10,000,000 °C. 太阳中心的温度高达摄氏一千万度。 动词 + as + 副词+ 数词+ …… 结构的译法 as large as +数词…… 可译成“大到（至）……” as many as +数词…… 可译成“多达……” as high as +数词…… 可译成“高达……” as heavy as + 数词…… 可译成“重达……” as low as + 数词…… 可译成“低到（至）……” 2、倍数的比较 This substance reacts three times as fast as the other one. 这一物质的反应速度比另一物质快两倍。 结构的译法 A is N times as large (long, heavy …) as B A is N times larger (longer, heavier …) than B A is larger (longer, heavier …) than B by N times 上述三种句型，虽其结构各异，但所表达的概念完全一样。因此在译成汉语时彼此之间不应有所区别。均可译成： A的大小（长度、重量、……）是B 的N倍。或 A比B大（长、重、……）N - 1倍。 3.1、主语+谓语+ Whenever we double the force on a given object, we double the acceleration. 每当作用在某一给定物体上的力增加一倍，加速度也增加一倍。 double treble quadruple +……结构的译法 double 可译成“增加一倍”或“翻一番” treble 可译成“增加二倍”或“增加到三倍” quadruple 可译成“增加三倍”或“翻两番” 3、倍数的增加 3.2、 A temperature rise of 100°C increases the conductivity of a semiconductor by 50 times. 温度上升100°C，半导体的电导率就增加到五十倍。 结构的译法 increase N times increase to N times increase by N times increase N- fold increase by a factor of N 上述五种结构表达的意思完全一致。 均表示“乘以N”、“成N倍”这一概念，因此应译成“增加到N倍”或“增加了N?1倍”。 3.3、 The amount left was estimated to be again as much as all the zinc that has been mined. 当时估计，剩余的锌储量是．已开采量的两倍。 可译为“是…的两倍” 或“比…多一倍”。 as much (many …) again as again as much (many …) as half as much (many …) again as half again as much (many …) as 可译成“是…的一倍半”， “比…多半倍” 或“比… 多一半” The resistance of aluminum is approximately half again as great as that of copper for the same dimensions. 尺寸相同时，铝的电阻约为．铜的一倍半。 Section 1 1. The planar motion of a rigid body occurs when the path of each point lies wholly in a plane
