英语翻译中的拆译技巧

Separating Techniques in English Translation

英语重形合,往往通过连接手段和形态变化,把许多修饰成分或从句连接起来表达句子的逻辑关系。而汉语重意合,主要用小句的串接和意义的连贯来组建句子。因此英语汉译时常常把英语原文的一个句子拆成汉语的数个小句,即把英语中的某个单词、短语或从句拆译成汉语的句子。

English is more stressed in its various forms. Its logical relationship is often expressed by means of connection and changes in forms to connect a number of modifying elements or subordinate clauses. Chinese, however, is more stressed in its various meanings. Chinese sentences are constructed by the stringing of small clauses and coherence in meaning. Then when we do English - Chinese translation, we often separate an original English sentence into several small Chinese clauses. Namely, we translate a certain English words, phrase or subordinate clause into a separate Chinese sentence.
