考研英語(yǔ)：被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)如何翻譯

1.逆序法

逆序法就是漢語(yǔ)譯文的語(yǔ)序和英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)序完全相反。翻譯時(shí)，要把英語(yǔ)句子后面的詞或短語(yǔ)放到漢語(yǔ)譯文的前面，有些句子所有詞的順序都發(fā)生變化，有些句子只有部分詞的順序發(fā)生變化。請(qǐng)看譯例。

譯文：原子反應(yīng)堆需要一種合適的燃料。

(2)Every day new compounds are produced in the laboratory by the synthetic organic chemist.

(3)Swift progress has also been made in culture and education.

譯文：文教事業(yè)也有迅速的發(fā)展。

2.譯成漢語(yǔ)的無(wú)主句

一些被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的句子可用漢語(yǔ)的無(wú)主句表達(dá)。

(1)It is important that fresh impetus be given to the national economy.

(3)It must be recognized that China is still a developing country.

譯文：須承認(rèn)中國(guó)還是一個(gè)發(fā)展中的國(guó)家。

3.增添漢語(yǔ)邏輯上的主語(yǔ)

有些英語(yǔ)被動(dòng)句翻譯成漢語(yǔ)，需要增加邏輯上的主語(yǔ)，我們可根據(jù)上下文增加適當(dāng)?shù)闹髡Z(yǔ)。

(1)More state help is needed for the disadvantaged sections of the community.

譯文：國(guó)家需要向社會(huì)的貧困階層提供更多救濟(jì)。

(3)Copper articles have been used for several thousand years.

譯文：人類對(duì)銅器的使用已經(jīng)有幾千年的歷史了。

4.語(yǔ)序基本不變 助動(dòng)詞be省略不譯

有一些英語(yǔ)被動(dòng)句，可按其原有的語(yǔ)序表達(dá)或作稍微的調(diào)整，但助動(dòng)詞be要省略不譯。

(1)The members of the jury were discharged.

譯文：陪審員都解散了。

5. 被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)換成“是……的”

一些英語(yǔ)被動(dòng)句，翻譯成漢語(yǔ)可用“是……的”來(lái)表達(dá)。

(1)History is made by the people.

譯文：歷史是人民創(chuàng)造的。

譯文：這些東西是用一種革新的工藝生產(chǎn)出來(lái)的，而英國(guó)直到最近才掌握這項(xiàng)工藝。

6. 調(diào)整部分語(yǔ)序

有些被動(dòng)句轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語(yǔ)的主動(dòng)句，其它的句子成分要作相應(yīng)的調(diào)整，以便使譯文符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣。
