【穿越研英】冲击翻译，不得不恋(第三十二期，正在进行中)

不知道各位玩网游吗？前几天，与沪江合作推出的乌龙学院进行了大型内测，从没有碰过网游的popo去好好过了把瘾。通过网游学英语的确是个不错的主意，popo深沉溺其中—_—//，为了完成任务而不倦于回答游戏中设计好的角色提出的英语问题。有点狂热，但是我真的为开发这个游戏的人们所打动，他们的热情，创造力让我觉得这个世界还有人多人为一种理想，为一种观念而执著，或许世界就是因为他们的存在而变得更美好。

 
 生活，因梦想而充实，

 世界，因坚持而美丽！

【考研英译汉难点总结之五】(㊣资料来自《考研英语英译汉四步定位翻译法》)

英译汉中的非谓语动词之四

§将非谓语动词译成谓语动词§

有些非谓语动词带有复杂的宾语、表语或状语，往往需要单独翻译成一个子句，这时的非谓语动词便可充当这个独立子句的谓语动词。

例一：Some of those cause are completely reasonable results of social needs. Others are reasonable consequences of particular advances in science being to some extent self-accelerating.(1996年英译汉真题)

分析：非谓语动词being与后面的self-accelerating是系表结构，修饰前面的名词science，如果把这个修饰语单独则可译为“科学……是自我加速度的”，being译成了动词“是”。

例二：Arguing front the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect , extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. (1997年英译汉真题)

分析：Arguing from ……是分词短语作整个句子的状语，由于它较长，必须单独译成一个句子，arguing便译成动词这个句子的谓语。

例三：Furthermore, humans have the ability to modify the environment in which they live, thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies. (2003年英译汉真题)

分析：subjecting……to……是表示结果的状语，译成汉语时则是一个表结果的句子，subjecting译成动词“使……屈服”作谓语。

  非谓语动词是英译汉中经常碰到的语言现象。如果纯粹是为了避免使用过多的动词，译成汉语时一般直接译成动词或名词，因为汉语对动词的使用没有那么多限制，动词变名词也更加自由。如果是作名词的修饰语，短的译成形容词放在名词前面，长的独立成句。如果是修饰整个句子的状语，一般都译成独立句，在独立出来的句子里，非谓语动词这个独立句的谓语动词。

§英译汉中的惯用法§

惯用法不仅是英译汉里面的难点，而且是整个英语学习的难点。为了让大家对惯用法有更深刻的了解，引起足够的重视，同时也为了抛砖引玉，我们对历年英译汉真题中用过的惯用法作一个小小的总结。

Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?

　　The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. (1)Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.

　　Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. (2)In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.

　　Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. (3)Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973.   (4)The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25~0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies — to which heavy industry has shifted — have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.

　　(5)One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist's commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.
