翻译第6讲 Conversion
07翻译第六讲 Conversio1
07翻译第六讲Conversion Translation is a process concerning two languages. Since there are differences in the structures, grammar, and expressions between the two languages, sometimes conversion is necessary. This chapter is mainly about the conversion of word classes,(词类转换) conversion of sentence members（转换句子成分）, and conversion of perspectives.(转换视角)Conversion of English Nouns 英语名词的转译Nouns or nominal（名词性的）forms, especially action nouns and other abstract nouns, find their wider use in English while verbs or multi-verbal forms are much preferred in Chinese. This is one of the important differences between the two languages. In translation, therefore, the conversion of English nouns into Chinese verbs, and subsequently English adjectives into Chineseadverbs, becomes one of the techniques frequently employed for smooth representation in idiomatic Chinese.English nouns can be converted into Chinese verbs in the following cases.1. 由动词派生的名词2. 具有动作意义的名词3. 以-er结尾表示身份或职业的名词English Nouns→Chinese verbsHe admires the President’s stated decision to fight for the job.My admiration for him grew more.Indo-China is a drain on French resources. The international food shortage had a direct impact on Kuwait and other barren desert countries.It is mighty to make him work (on) Saturdays, when all the boys is (are) having holiday, but he hates work more than anything else, and I’ve got to do some of duty by him, or I’ll be ruination of the child.More examples:1. One after another, speakers called for the downfall of imperialism, abolition of the system of exploration of man-by-man, liberation of the oppressed of the world.发言人一个接一个表示要打倒帝国主义，要消灭人剥削人的制度，要解放全世界被压迫的人民。

这类形容词短语结构常用在 be, become,
seem等系动词之后。如果系动词是 be,
become, 可撇开不管，直接把形容词汉译成动

容词译成动词，让seem作为状语，置于动词前。

第4章Conversion（转换法）4.1 复习笔记一、Conversion of Word Classes（转换词类）In translation, a word in one language belonging to a certain word class is not necessarily translated into one of the same class in another language.在翻译过程中，一种语言的某一词类不一定要相应地译为另一语言中相应的词类，有时候进行适当转化是十分必要的。
1. Conversion from English Nouns and Adjectives into Chinese Verbs and Adverbs（英语名词、形容词转换为汉语动词、副词）Nouns or nominal dorms, especially action nouns and other abstract nouns, find their wider use in English while verbs or multi-verbal forms are much preferred in Chinese. In translation, therefore, the conversion of English nouns into Chinese verbs, and subsequently English adjectives into Chinese adverbs, becomes one of the techniques frequently employed for smooth representation in idiomatic Chinese.英语中多用名词或名词短语，尤其是动作名词和其他抽象名词，而汉语中多用动词，甚至多个动词连用的情况。
大学英语精读第3册 第6课 课文翻译及课后答案
大学英语精读第3册第6课课文翻译及课后答案一天的等待他走进我们房间关窗户的时候，我们还未起床。
我见他一副病容，全身哆嗦，脸色苍白，步履缓慢，好像一动就会引起疼痛。
“你怎么啦，宝贝？”“我头痛。
”“你最好回床上去睡。
”“不，我没啥病。
”“你先去睡。
我穿好衣服来看你。
”可是当我来到楼下时，他已穿好衣服，坐在火炉旁。
这个9岁的男孩，看上去病得厉害，一副可怜的模样。
我用手摸了摸他的额头，知道他发烧了。
“你到楼上去睡，”我说，“你病了。
”“我没有病，”他说。
医生来后，量了孩子的体温。
“多少度？”我问医生。
“102度。
”下楼后，医生留下用不同颜色胶囊包装的三种药丸，并嘱咐如何服用。
一种药退烧，另一种润肠、通便，还有一种是去酸。
他解释说，流感细菌只能在酸性环境中生存。
他似乎对流感很内行，并说，如果发烧不超过104度，就用不着担心。
这是轻度流感，只要当心不引起肺炎，就无危险。
我田到房里，记下孩子的体温，并记下各种胶囊的服用时间。
“要不要让我读，点书给你听？”“好的，如果你想读的话，”孩子说。
他的脸色十分苍白，眼窝下方有黑晕。
他躺在床上一动不动，对周围发生的一切漠然置之。
我朗读霍华德·派尔的《海盗故事》，但我看得出他并不在听。
“你感觉怎么样，宝贝？”我问他。
“到目前为止，还是老样子，”他说。
我坐在床的脚端自个儿看书，等着到时间再给他服一粒药丸。
按理，他本该睡着了。
然而，当我抬头看时，他却双眼盯着床的脚端，神情异常。
“你为什么不睡一会儿呢？到吃药时，我会叫醒你的。
”“我宁愿醒着。
”过了一会儿，他对我说：“你不必呆在这里陪我，爸爸，要是这事令你烦恼的话。
”“没有什么可烦恼的。
”“不，我是说，要是这事终将给你带来烦恼的话，你就不必呆在这里。
”我想，或许他有，点儿神志不清了。
11点钟，照规定给他服药后，我便出去了一会儿。
那是个晴朗而又寒冷的日子，地上覆盖着一层已结成冰的冻雨，就像那光秃秃的树木，那灌木丛，那砍下的树枝，以及所有的草坪和空地都用冰漆过似的。
