英译汉试题中常见的重要短语及典型句型

1．几个典型例句

(1) ... not so much...... as (but) ... 与其说……还不如说……

(2) ... not so much that.....as (but) that...... 与其说…还不如说……

(3) ... not so much as.... (=not even) 甚至于不…，连…也不……

(4) ... might as well ... as..... 与其说……还不如说……

例1：He is not so much a teacher as a scholar.

译文：与其说他是老师，还不如说是学者。（注意翻译时动作的对象）

例2：It wasn"t so much his appearance I liked as his personality.

译文：与其说我喜欢他的外表，不如说我喜欢他的品格。

例3：It"s not so much that I don"t want to come but I just haven"t got the time.

译文：倒不是因为我不想来，而是我根本没有时间。

例4：He didn"t so much as say thank you after all we"d done for him.

译文：我们为他干了那么多事，他甚至连谢谢都没有说一声。

例5：You might as well throw your money into the sea as lend it to him.

译文：与其将钱借给他，还不如把钱丢进大海。（注意翻译时动作的对象）

[注意]：more ... than ...

1) she is more beautiful than her sister. 她比她姐姐漂亮。

2) George is more intelligent than aggressive. 与其说乔治言行放肆，不如说他聪颖过人。

以上第1)句是more... than结构的一般用法，即在两个不同的事物之间就同一方面作比较；而第2)句是就同一个人的两个不同方面作比较。因此要译成“与其说……还不如说……”。

more...than结构在上述1) 2)两句中的用法也适用于less ... than结构，得出相反的含义：

例如：

1) John is less daring than quick-witted. 与其说约翰胆大，不如说他脑子灵活。

2) George was less intelligent than aggressive. 与其说乔治聪颖过人，不如说他言行放肆。

区别：

all but 几乎，差一点，除……以外其余都是

but for要不是

but that+从句：若不是……

例1：She all but fainted when she heard the news.

译文：她听到这一消息时几乎晕倒了。

注：此句中a11 but意为nearly，almost。

试对比：

All but the little children thought that the trip was exciting．

译文：除了小孩，大家都认为这次旅行是激动人心的。

此句中all but意为a11 except。

例2：But for the rain we should have a pleasant journey.

译文：要不是下雨，我们的旅行本来是愉快的。

例3：He would have helped us but that he was short of money at the time.

译文：若不是他那时缺钱，他是会帮助我们的。

注1)．but that引导的从句中谓语用陈述语气。2)．but that有灵活的译法。如：Nothing would satisfy that child but that I place her on my lap．(那孩子什么都不要，只要我把她抱在怀里。)

3．“名词+or+名词”结构中or后的名词是同位语，应译为“即……；或者称……”

例1：Moreover, technology includes techniques, or ways to do things, as well as the machines that may or may not be necessary to apply them.

译文：再者，除机器外技术还包括技艺，即制作方法，而动用这些技艺并不一定都需要机器。

4．“only + to do”意为“……，结果却……”，即表示与句子谓语动作的目的相反的结果。

例1: They don"t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing.

译文：他们不必花钱去戏院、电影院或歌剧院买价格很贵的票，（如果去了，）结果却可能发现，所演的节目令人失望。

例2: They hurried there only to find the meeting canceled.

译文：他们匆匆忙忙赶到那儿，结果却发现会议被取消了。

5．not more / -er than 与 no more / -er than 结构

比较：

John is not better than Tom.

John is no better than Tom.

前一句表示“约翰不比汤姆好”，属于普通的比较结构；后一例用了no 情况就不同了。no better than 相当于as bad as，含义是两人一样坏。这里，“no + 形容词或副词比较级+ than”所表示的可以说是该形容词或副词的反意。

例如： no richer than = as poor as 和……一样穷

no bigger than = as small as 和……一样小

no later than = as early as 和……一样早

同样地：

I have not taken more than six courses this semester.

I have taken no more than six courses this semester.

前一句的含义是本学期选的课不多于六门；后一句的含义是只选了六门。强调“少”。

上述结构与表示前后都否定的no more...than (= not...any more than)又有所不同：

例：A whale is no more a fish than a horse is.（鲸和马同样不是鱼。）

另外，在某些结构中，单独使用more than 也能表示否定概念：

例1：That is more than I can tell. 我简直不能说。

例2：My trip to Beijing is more than sightseeing. 我去北京不仅仅是旅游观光而已。

6．no more...than... (= not...any more than) 和……—样都不……(表示前后都否定)

例1：The heart is no more intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain. 心脏和胃一样都无智力可言，因为它们都是由大脑控制的。

例2：There is no reason they should limit how much vitamin you take, any more than they can limit how much water you drink．

译文：他们没有理由限制你服用多少维他命，就像他们不能限制你喝多少水一样。

例3：More and more Afro-Americans see him as a tricky enemy who has no more love for them than he has for the Congolese．

译文：越来越多的美国黑人认识到他是个诡计多端的敌人。他仇视美国黑人，正像他仇视刚果人民一样。(直译：…，他不爱美国黑人，正像他不爱刚果人一样。) 注释：not...any more than是no more...than的一种强调形式。

例如：

1) Jack is no more intelligent than John. (=Jack is not intelligent any more than John.)

杰克与约翰一样都不聪明。

2) A man can no more fly than a bird can speak. (=A man cannot fly any more than a bird can speak.) 人不会飞翔，就像鸟不会说话一样。

3) As a nation, the French are no more eager to 1earn about their wartime failings than are the Japanese. (=As a nation，the French are not eager to learn about their wartime failings any more than are the Japanese.)

作为一个国家，法国正如日本一样不积极地从他们的战争失败中吸取教训。

上述例句表明，no more...than并不表示比较，而是表示比喻，含有比喻意义的比较级用于否定时，than后面的从句不用否定式，但译成汉语时要用否定式。而与上述句型意义相反的是：no less...than，意为：“和……同样是……”。例如：

Human is no less an animal than a monkey is. 人和猴都是动物。

而no less than 的意思为：“简直是，实在是”，例如：

1) It is no less than blackmail to ask such a high price. 如此索要高价，简直是敲诈。

2) It is no less than a scandal. 这实在是一件丑闻。

7．not nearly (=by no means，far from) 远不

例1: The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food.

译文：食品供应将远远赶不上人口的增长，这就意味着我们在粮食的生产和购销方面正面临危机。

注：1) this是指上面提到的“到21世纪初世界人口将增加到60亿或70亿”。2) 又如：There are not nearly enough people here to do the job．(这里的人手远远不够承担这项工作。)

8．“更不用说”的表示法：

much less

still less

以上两短语引导的词组或从句，表示一种追加的否定，less是由little的比较级，所以这两个词组只能用于否定句中，可译为“更不用说，更不必说”。

to say nothing of

not to speak of

not to mention

let alone

这四个词组也意为“更不用说”，也是一种追补的说法。但它们与much less和still less有所不同。这些词组可以随前一句的意思而定，即前一句是肯定，则追加的也是肯定意义；如果前一句是否定，则追加的是否定意义

例1：I could not agree to, much less participate in such proceedings.

译文：我不能同意这种行为，更谈不上参加这些行动了。

例2：He knows little of mathematics, and still less of chemistry．

译文：他几乎不懂数学，更不用说化学了。

例3：I did not even see him, still less (= much less) shake hands with him.

译文：我看也没有看见过他，哪里还谈得上同他握手呢?

例4：In old China, here was hardly any machine-building industry, to say nothing of an electronic industry.

译文：在旧中国，几乎没有什么机器制造工业，更不用说电子工业了。

例5：Sally takes singing and dancing lessons, to say nothing of swimming and tennis lessons.

译文：莎莉学了唱歌和舞蹈课，而且还学了游泳和网球课。

例6：At that time they could not afford the ordinary comforts of life, not to speak of luxuries.

译文：那时他连普通生活都不能维持，更不要说奢侈品了。

例7：They have three fine sons, not to speak of their two 1ovely daughters.

译文：他们有了三个好儿子，而且还有两个可爱的女儿。

例8：I don"t know algebra or geometry，not to mention calculus．

译文：我连代数、几何都不懂，更不必说微积分了。

例9：A11 they have to do is press a button，and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match.

译文：他们所要做的只是按一下电钮，就能看到各种戏剧、电影、歌剧和各式各样的演出，而且还能看到各种政治辩论和最近举行的激动人心的足球赛。

例10：I can"t add two and two, let alone do fractions.

译文：我连2加2都不会，更不要说做分数题了。

注意：美国成语词典认为let alone只能用于追加的否定。但是，有的词典认为，该短语也可以引导追加的肯定。例如：There were five people in the car, let alone the luggage and the two dogs.

9．nothing else than 完全是，实在是

例1: What the man said was nothing else than nonsense.

译文：那人讲的话完全是一派胡言。

例2: Your success was due to nothing else than your own diligence.

译文：你的成功完全是由于你自己的勤奋。

10．It is not that...but that... 这不是说……，而是说……

例1: It is not that the scales in the one case, and the balance in the other, differ in the principles of their construction or manner of working; but that the latter is much finer apparatus and of course much more accurate in its measurement than the former.

译文：这并不是说在一种情况下所使用的磅秤和另一种情况下所用的天平在构造原理上或工作方式上存在差别，而是说与前者相比，后者是一种更精密得多的装置，因而在计量上必然更加准确。

11．can not...too... 再……也不过分

例1: We cannot be too careful of health. 我们无论如何注意健康也不为过。

例2: You cannot be too careful when you drive a car. 你开车时再小心也不过分。

例3: We can not be too faithful to our duties. 我们必须尽力忠于职守。

12．other...than... 或other than... 不同于，非；除了

例l: Plants which refine crude ores are often located in countries other than those in which the crude ores are mined.

译文：提炼矿石的厂房通常不是设在采矿石的国家而设在其它国家。

例2: Reactions other than the desired one often occur when reactants are brought together.

译文：当这些反应物放在一起时，常发生不希望有的一些反应。(即：…常发生与希望有的反应不同的反应。)

例3: All parts of the house other than the windows were in good condition.

译文：除了窗之外，屋子的其它部分都完好无损。

13． ... the last + n. + 不定式或定语从句：意为“…最不可能的……”

例1: She would be the last person to go along with the scheme.

译文：她可能会是最不同意这项计划的人。

2021考研英语：of短语的翻译.doc

2021考研英语：of短语的翻译 考研英语有许多题目组成，方便大家及时了解，下面由我为你精心准备了“2021考研英语：of短语的翻译”，持续关注本站将可以持续获取更多的考试资讯 2021考研英语：of短语的翻译 从形式上来说，of短语做后置定语的构成形式是：N.+ of短语。这里需要注意，of短语和名词之间是修饰和被修饰的关系，也就是说并不 是所有的N.+ of短语都是of短语做后置定语，而是要把一些N.和of构成的固定搭配排除在外，主要是一些表示种类和数量的固定短语，比如a variety of，all kinds of，plenty of，an amount of，a large quantity of等。举个例子说，the environmental challenges of China是of China做后置定语修饰the environmental challenges，译为“中国的环境挑战”plenty of books则是plenty of 修饰books，译为“大量的书”。 这是of短语做后置定语的构成形式，在考研英语的翻译中它的考查形式主要有三种：一种是A of B，一种是它的升级版A of B of C，另一种是A of B(B部分特别长)的情况。第一种和第三种的区别就在于B部分的长度有所不同，一般来说，“B部分特别长”是指B部分包含5个单词以上的情况，而第一种中B部分最多不超过5个单词，一般1-4个单词比较常见。第二种情况中B和C都是比较简短的，与第一种的B情况类似。之所以要进行分类是因为这三种考查形式的翻译方法是不一样的，第一种译为“B的A”，同理第二种可译为“C的B的A”，第三种则要译为“A：B(B部分要独立成句)”，这样处理是为了避免译文中修饰成分太长，头重脚轻。 在中，前两种情况很常见，翻译起来也很简单，比如2007年46题中有这样的短语：the special preserve of lawyers和a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person，这两个短语符合A of B和A of B of C的情况，按照上述的翻译方法即可译为“律

考研英语翻译历年真题

1、1994年 Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. According to the new school of scientists, technology is an overlooked force in expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge. (71) Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools. (72) "In short" , a leader of the new school contends, "the scientific revolution, as we call it, was largely the improvement and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded the reach of science in innumerable directions. " (73)Over the years, tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science. The modern school that hails technology algues that such masters as Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and inventors such as Edison attached great importance to, and derived great benefit from, craft information and technological devices of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments. The centerpiece of the argument of a technology-yes , genius-no advocate was an analysis of Galileo' s role at the start of the scientific revolution. The wisdom of the day was derived from Ptolemy, an astronomer of the second century, whose elaborate system of the sky put Earth at the center of all heavenly motions. (74)Galileo' s greatest glory was that in 1609 he was the first person to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens to prove that the planets revolve around the sun rather than around the Earth. But the real hero of the story, according to the new school of scientists, was the long evolution in the improvement of machinery for making eyeglasses . Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs. genius dispute. (75)Whether the Government should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice versa (反之) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force. 精美译文 新学派的科学家认为，技术是扩大科学知识的范围中被忽视的力量。（71）他们说，科学的发展与其说源于天才伟人的真知灼识，不如说源于改进了的技术和工具等等更为普通的东西。（72）新学派的一位领袖人物坚持说:“简言之，我们所称谓的科学革命，主要是指一系列器具的改进、发明和使用，这些改进、发明和使用使科学发展的范围无所不及。 （73）工具和技术本身作为根本性创新的源泉多年来在很大程度上被科学史学家和科学思想家们忽视了。为技术而欢呼的现代学派争辩说，像伽利略、牛顿、麦克斯威尔、爱因斯坦这样的科学大师和像爱迪生这样的发明家十分重视科学实验中能使用的各种不同的工艺信息和技术装置并从中受益匪浅。 鼓吹技术第一、天才第二的论据的核心是分析了科学革命初期伽利略的作用。那时的聪明才智取自第二世纪的天文学家托勒密;了精心创立的太空体系把地球置于所有天体运动的中心。（74）伽利略的最光辉的业绩在于他在1609年第一个把新发明的望远镜对准天空，
