翻译试题介绍及解题技巧
1. 试题介绍
在高等学校英语应用能力测试中，英译汉目的在于考查考生对英语书面材料的理解能力。通常情况下，此题型一共有五小题，前面四小题是以多项选择的形式出现。每小题有四个答案选择，均与原句意义非常接近。其中，有一个选择为最佳译文，得分为2分；最后一小题是短文翻译，得分最高分7分。此题考试时间为25分钟，共15分。要想在这么短的时间内做完题且获高分，考生一方面必须对原句有一个正确的理解，同时在另一方面必须掌握一定的翻译技巧。
2．解题技巧指导
（一）词类转换法（conversion）
在英译汉时，将英语中的某种词类在保证原文意义不变的情
况下，根据汉语的需要改变成另一类词的方法。如：
Congratulations on your new promotion. (CET3- 2001.6)
[译文] 祝贺你的又一次提升。
[分析] 原文中的congratulations 为名词，译成汉语时转化为动词。
（二）分译法（division）Book 4---2
      分译法就是在英译汉时把长句拆开来分译为短句，使句子通
顺易懂。如：
This book is divided into sixteen units that deal with
topics of everyday conversation. (CET3- 2001.6)
[译文] 本书共分为16个单元，内容涉及日常生活会话。
[分析] 原句是一个带定语从句的复合句，句子显得较长，译文根据汉语的需要可分拆成两个并列的分句，使译文变得通顺。
（三）省略法（omission）Book 3—4  Book 4---3
省略法是将原文的某些词省去不译，因为译文虽无其词已有
其意。一般来说，英语中的冠词、连词、代词尤其是人称代词、关系代词、关系副词等译成汉语时常可省略。如：
So, we are inviting you to bring your car into our shop for a free inspection and adjustment.  (CET3- 2000.12)
[译文] 现在邀请您开车来我车行，以便对您的车作一次免费检查和调试。
[分析] 原文中的we, to, for都省略不译，但意思仍然完整。
（四）增词法 （amplification）
Book 3--5  增词法（1）增词法（2）
Book 4--4
      为了使译文忠实地表述原文的意思并符合汉语的表达习惯，必须对译文增加一些词语，方能使句子完整。例如：
Will you need an experienced desk clerk for your hotel next summer ? (CET3- 2001.12)
  [译文] 不知贵旅馆明年夏天是否需要一名有经验的前台服务员？
[分析]  译文中增加了“不知”和“是否”等词，使句子完整，同时也使问话显得委婉。
conversion翻译方法的定义（五）反译法（negation）Book 3---10
由于英汉两种语言的思维逻辑、表达方式不同，英译汉时有时正译不顺，翻译出的内容又不符合汉语的习惯表达方式，这就要从反面翻译。如：
While many businesses complete for the customer’s dollar, they can’t afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.
[译文] 一方面，商家为赚取顾客的钱而竞争；另一方面，他们又必须把顾客当上司和主人看待。
[分析]  译文把原文否定形式can’t afford翻译成肯定形式，把inferiors or slaves从反面表达改为“上司和主人”。
