【穿越研英】冲击翻译，不得不恋

嗨，嗨
~~
大家好，我们又见面了！
~~
经过对研英一段时间的摸索和熟悉，你是否对它有那么
~
一点点感觉了呢？不知道你是否尝试过几乎每天的时间都在使用一门外语。

最近认识了两老外，之后一个星期天天生活在英语的世界里，虽然有点疲于应对，深感“书到用时方恨少”，幻想着有一天中国强大了，也让老外们吃吃学汉语的苦，但是收获却不小。在和他们的交谈中，唤起了对很多单词和句型的记忆，所以学英语就是要用的，不打不成才，不和它们“恋恋”不相识。况且“天下无难事，只怕有心人。”或许现在我们很讨厌英语，苦苦挣扎也好，苦中作乐也罢，但我们相信只有经历痛苦的缠绕，才能迎来破茧而出看到阳光的那天，展开坚硬的羽翼在晴空翱翔！

英译汉中的代词（
2
）
3
指示代词
：
它的作用相当于形容词，起修饰名词的作用，由于名词是中心词，而其意思往往比较清楚，指示代词经常可以直接译成代词。
例一：
During this transfer
, traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study.(1999

)
分析：“
during this transfer
”重点显然在名词
transfer
上面，
this
译成“这个”完全就可以了。
例二：
This is a new problem probably not yet unavoidable; but it is a frightening trend.
This trend began during the Second World War,when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail.
（
1996

分析：
this trend
译成：“这种趋势”当然是可以的，但这个句子前有这样一句话“
This is a new problem probably not yet unavoidable; but it is a frightening trend.
”很显然，两个
trend
说的是一回事，所以把
this trend
译成“这种可怕的趋势”效果更好。
4
不定代词
：指不明确指代一个人或一些人或事物的代词。总的来说，它出现频率较低，一般可以照字面翻译。
例一：
However, the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to deal with some of the world’s more fascinating and delightful aspects.(1996
年英译汉真题
)
分析：
some
直译为“一些”。
但也有特殊情况。
例二：
While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past.(1999

)
分析：不定代词“
one
”本来可以直译成“一个”，但由于前面有两个核心名词：
definition
和
historian
，
one
只能在“一个”后面加名词以示区别。在句中
one
指代
definition
，而不是
historian
，因为
that
引导的定语从句一般修饰指物的名词，如果指人则定语从句一般由
who
来引导，因此
one
要明确译为“一个定义”。
看明白了吗？
^_^
准备好就开始“训恋”吧！
