三章词的省略.pptVIP

三、词的省略 （一）由于中英文语法关系的差异，有时英文中必须写出的 词，译成中文时可以省掉，译了反而画蛇添足，影响译文的流畅性，或不符合译文的表达习惯，比如说，有些代词、连接词、冠词、介词等在英译汉时往往可以省去不译。 1. A parrot can talk like a man. 鹦鹉能像人一样说话。 2. The family is the unit of society. 家庭是社会的组成单位。 3. In September 1939, the Second World War broke out. 1939年9月，第二次世界大战爆发。 4. Outside it was pitch dark and it was raining cats and dogs. 外面一团漆黑，大雨倾盆而下。 5. He put his hands into his pockets and then shrugged his shoulders. 他把双手插进口袋，然后耸了耸肩。 6. The sun is bright, and the sky is clear. 阳光灿烂，晴空万里。 7. If winter comes, can spring be far behind? 冬天来了，春天还会远吗？ 8.

Egbert said he was getting a dollar for driving a mile. 艾格波特说，他开车每开一英里就赚一块钱。 3.
