长句的翻译 第十章 长句的翻译 英语长句的出现是由于句子中含有多个从句，从句与从句之间的关系可能并列或平行，还可能包孕或嵌套。所以，英语长句结构复杂，并列成分多，逻辑层次多，修饰语多，特别是后置定语很长。在翻译长句的过程中，首先要通过句法分析，弄清原句的基本结构，判断句子是简单句、并列句还是复合句，并找出句子的主要成分，弄清主要成分和修饰成分之间的逻辑关系，还常须根据上下文作词义的引申和对指示代词的指代关系做出判断。翻译长句时一般使用下面几种方法： 长句的翻译 一、顺译法 1.

Most retailers have narrowed their supplier base over the past decade, though Marks and Spencer, for example, is careful to maintain a spread of competing suppliers for its products. 尽管例如马莎百货公司那样的零售商仍非常谨慎小心地维持着他们的产品竞争供应商的扩展，但是过去的十年里大多数的零售商已经缩小了他们的供应商团队。 　长句的翻译 三、分译法 1. He explained how staying competitive in the new global economy depended on how much a country invested, not just in high-tech machinery, but in training workers to use it. 他解释说，如何在新的全球化经济中保持竞争力取决于一国之投入。这种投入不仅在于高科技机器方面，而且还在于培训操作高科技机器的工人方面。 长句的翻译 　　　 2.Marriott is a good example of such a business, as it has huge information databases on its customers allowing it to tailor its hotel chains to their needs. 万豪国际酒店集团是
