英语语句翻译方法
英语语句翻译方法英语语句翻译方法有哪些?翻译其实只要掌握了方法并不难，看看下面吧!一、正反、反正表达法i.汉语从反面表达，译文从正面表达例1：他提出的论据相当不充实。
译文：The argument he put forward is pretty thin. (词) 例2：我们确信，年轻一代将不会辜负我们的信任。
译文：We are confident that the younger generation will prove worthy ofour trust. (短语)例3：他七十岁了，可是并不显老。
译文：He was 70, but he carried his years lightly. (句子)II.汉语从正面表达，译文从反面表达例1：他这个人优柔寡断，而且总是反复无常。
译文：He was an indecisive sort of person and always capricious. (词)例2：调查结果清清楚楚地显示病人死于心脏病。
译文：The investigation left no doubt that the patient had died of heartdisease.(短语)例3：这类举动迟早会被人觉察的。

译文：There is not any advantage without disadvantage. (双重否认)例2：我们在那个城市从未因为是犹太人而遭受歧视。

abstraction, generalization and vagueness.
• Conclusion:
• Abstract style is used excessively in English. Some stylists recommend mixed diction
