合并
一般说来,英语句子要比汉语句子长,英译汉时切分用得较多;但是较口语化的英语句子也比较短,英译汉时有时也得用合并。合并常用于以下二种情况:
(一) 简单句与简单句的合并
把原文中的两个或两个以上的简单句合并成一个句子。例如:
(1) She is intelligent, ambitious and hard-working. She is also good at solving problems.
她很有才智、雄心勃勃、工作努力,还善于解决问题。(两句合一)
(2) The door was unlocked. She went inside and sat in a stupor. She was near collapse, barely able to move her swollen feet.
门没锁上,她走了进去,呆呆地坐了下来,极度的衰弱几乎使她无力挪动她那红肿的双脚。(三句合一)
(3) I pulled up a chair and sat down. I sat with my legs wide apart at first. But this struck me as being irreverent and too familiar. So I put my knees together and let my hands rest loosely on them.
我把椅子挪过去坐下,开始两脚分开,但我突然觉得这样显得不尊重,太不拘礼节,便把两膝并拢,把双手随便地放在膝盖上。(四句合一)
(二) 复合句的合并
把原文中的主从复合句或并列复合句译成一个简单句或词组。例如:
(1) We are going to have to be prepared to operate with people who are nuts.
我们将不得不应付那些难对付的家伙。
(2) And he found himself trying to suppress a bitterness that was soul-destroying.
他发现自己在竭力抑制损伤灵魂的苦涩。
(3) Many people have married whose chances to do so were much inferior to Miss Martha’s.
许多条件远不如玛莎的人都已结了婚。
