1、雅思阅读长难句翻译练习之定语从句篇雅思阅读长难句翻译练习之定语从句篇 同学们都知道，定语从句可以分为限定性定语从句与非限定性定语从句。这种分类方式是依据中心词与修饰成分之间的关系亲密程度确定的，那么我们在翻译和理解雅思阅读长难句的过程中，就可以依据定语从句的不同种类实行不同的翻译方法。 1. 非限定性定语从句的翻译方法 在非限定性定语从句中，中心词本身意义是明确的，修饰中心词的定语从句起补充说明的作用。所以在翻译时，将非限定性定语从句与之前的主句译为并列结构即可，即先翻译主句，再翻译非限定性定语从句。 例：This all amounts to heightened activity and

2、noise levels, which have the potential to be particularly serious for children experiencing auditory function deficit. (J9T2P1P2) 讲解： 由于have是复数形式，所以which指代前文的heightened activity and noise levels。 可译为：这一切增加了活动量与噪音级别，这对患有听觉功能障碍的孩子有潜在的严峻影响。 但是这在中文中指代抽象，所以虽然句子成分分析精确，但是仍旧不能理解句子和含义。修改如下: 这一切增加了活动量与噪音级别，增加

3、了的活动量和噪音量对患有听觉功能障碍的孩子有潜在的严峻影响。 2. 较短的限定性定语从句 在多数限定性定语从句中，中心词本身的意义不够明确的，须要定语从句修饰后才能确定精确含义。因此在翻译一般的限定性定语从句时，将定语从句像一般的定语一样翻译到中心词之前就可以了。留意，适用于这种翻译方法的定语从句长度一般较短。 例：In addition to the reptiles, birds, mammals and insects which we see all around us, other groups that have succeeded out of water include sco

4、rpions, snails, crustaceans such as woodlice and land crabs, millipedes and centipedes, spiders and various worms. (J9T1P3P1) 可译为：除了在我们身边看到的爬行类、鸟类、哺乳类和昆虫外，其他胜利从海水中出来的种群还有蝎子，蜗牛，甲壳纲动物(木虱、陆生螃蟹、千足虫和蜈蚣)、蜘蛛和各种蠕虫。 3. 较长的限定性定语从句 那么对于不包括在上述范围内的较长的限定性定语从句，我们在翻译和理解的时候，可以像翻译非限定性定语从句那样，将其后置;假如像较短的限定性定语从句那样置于中心词之

5、前翻译，可能会因为修饰成分过长打断翻译思路，影响对句子的整体理解。 例：Quite apart from the impracticality of sending a reply over such large distances at short notice, it raises a host of ethical questions that would have to be addressed by the global community before any reply could be sent. (J9T1P2P5) 可译为：除了立即进行如此长距离的答复不行行之外，人们还提出
