3、一词多义英语中有许多词一词多义，其所表示的各个意义，分别与汉语中几个不同的词或词组对应。多义词的具体意义，只有联系上下文才能确定。如果脱离上下文，孤立地译一个词就很难确切地表达该词的真正含义。例：likeThe two buildings are very like.这两座楼很这两座楼很相像相像。（形容词。（形容词/alike）Dont treat me like a guest.别把我别把我当当客人。（介词）客人。（介词）Like enough,the ship will arrive in the port tomorrow.这条船很这条船很可能可能明天进港。明天进港。（副词副词/like

6、富裕的？B:因为它有两个银行啊！（王治奎等译）注释：英语原文中的bank一词是双关语，一是指河岸，二是指银行。译文二：A:为什么说河水富有？B:因为它总是向前（钱）流呀。或：因为它年年有鱼（余）呀。（马红军 译）【例2】原文：A:What does that lawyer do after he dies?B:Lie still.译文一：A:那个律师死后能干什么？B:静静地躺着。注：lie兼有“躺”和“撒谎”之意；still兼有“安静地”和“仍然”之意。可译为：仍然撒谎。（勒梅琳 等译）译文二：A:那个律师死后还能干什么？B:躺着说鬼话。（马红军 译）小幽默1-Can you get down

9、包含的意义往往颇具游移性、灵活性灵活性；现代汉语现代汉语词语的涵义范围比较狭窄，词义比较精确、固定词义比较精确、固定，具有较强的独立性。2、由于当代科技日新月异以及英语在国际上不可替代的地位，英语词汇容易获得新义；汉语词汇则不然。(例如mouse,base等等)二、词的搭配能力例子：You cannot build a ship,a bridge or a house if you dont know how to make a design or how to read it.不会制图或看不懂图纸，就不可能造船、架桥或盖房子。点评英语中一个动词build可以很协调地同它的三个宾语a ship

10、,a bridge or a house搭配，而汉语中却没有一个共用的动词可以很地道、很通顺地同这三个宾语进行搭配。可见英语词汇的语义较宽，而汉语词汇的语义则较窄。例：enjoy1.enjoy free medical care2.enjoy advantages3.enjoy national protection4.enjoy mass support5.enjoy prosperity6.enjoy a special place7.enjoy a double-digit growth8.enjoy a revival译文1、享受公费治疗2、具备优越条件3、受到国家保护4、赢得/获得/

13、er of acting,the one that was to become world famous.早在他演第二部电影时，卓别林就已形成了他自己的表演风格，这就是他后来闻名于世的那种表演风格。例：develop7.In less than ten years,it develops from a seed into a full-grown tree.不到十年，它从一粒种子长成一棵枝叶繁茂的大树。8.Our holiday photos havent been developed yet.我们假日拍的照片还没有冲印出来。例：wear;fuel up on 1.He wore dark g

15、ectional restrictions)，所以在翻译过程中选择词语时，一定要考虑搭配约束，根据具体语境来选择最佳词义。三、词序方面（定语、状语的位置对比）1、中英文定语的前后位置对比2、中英文时间、地点状语的排列对比定语的位置单词作定语a research-oriented hospital（前置）一所以搞科研为重点的医院（前置）governmental agencies（前置）政府机构（前置）a weather-beaten face（前置）一张饱经风霜的脸（前置）a little,yellow,ragged,lame,unshaven beggar（前置）一个要饭的，身材短小，面黄肌瘦
