Chapter 4 Conversion 转换法 英语和汉语分属两个不同的语系，在语言的表达方式上存在着很大的差异。如果在翻译过程中，把英语句子中的词性、句式照搬过来，则汉语译文会变成外国腔，使读者不易理解或无法理解。使译文不通顺不流畅且带有明显的欧化语言，其中一个主要原因就是不善于应用词性转换和句子成分转换的翻译方法。  例如： The growing awareness by millions of Africans of their extremely poor and backward, living conditions has prompted them to take resolute measures and create new ones. 如：数以百万计的非洲人对于他们非常贫穷落后的生活条件的日益觉醒促使他们采取坚决的措施，创造新的生活条件。 改译为：数以百万计的非洲人已逐渐意识到他们的生活状况异常贫穷落后，这就促使他们奋起采取坚决措施去创造新的生活条件。 2) Joseph beheld my style of cooking with growing indignation. (Wuthering Heights) 我的这种做饭方式叫约瑟夫越看越冒火了。 （此句中将分词growing译成递进式程度，副词“越……越”。 ） 3） The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising business career and study music. 我生活的转折点是我决定不做发迹有望的商人而专攻音乐。
