一、导读 通过汉英比较，我们发现主语是英语句子必不可少的句子成分，但很多汉语句子可以省略主语。因此，汉译英时首先遇到的问题就是如何确定英语句子的主语。《荷塘月色》是朱自清写的一篇著名现代抒情散文。文章借对“荷塘月色”的细腻描绘，含蓄而又委婉地抒发了作者不满现实，渴望自由，想超脱现实，而又不能的复杂的思想感情，为我们留下了旧中国正直知识分子在苦难中徘徊前进的足迹。朱纯琛博士的译文是多个译本中的佳作之一，非常注重文体与具体语言细节的翻译。朱译对《荷塘月色》中句子的主语除了进行对应翻译之外，还对大量无主句及其他类型句子主语进行了转换、推导、增补，使之符合英语语言的表达习惯。因此，仔细对照《荷塘月色》英译有助于提高我们对汉英时处理句子主语的各种技巧。 The Lotus Pool By Moonlight by Zhu Ziqing It has been rather disquieting these days.

The foliage, which, in a moonless night, would loom somewhat frighteningly dark, looks very nice tonight, although the moonlight is not more than a thin, greyish veil. The Lotus Pool By Moonlight by Zhu Ziqing I am on my own, strolling, hands behind my back. This bit of the universe seems in my possession now; and I myself seem to have been uplifted from my ordinary self into another world. I like a serene and peaceful life, as much as a busy and active one; I like being in solitude, as much as in company. As it is tonight, basking in a misty moonshine all by myself, I feel I am a free man, free to think of anything, or of nothing. All that one is obliged to do, or to say, in the daytime, can be very well cast aside now. That is the beauty of being alone. For the moment, just let me
