《商务英语翻译》第三章_第4_7节同位语从句、定语从句、状语从句的翻译
步。
• This does not alter the fact that that is, from a practical point view, a best solution.
• 这改变不了这样一个事实，即从实用的观点来看， 那是个最好的解决方案。
Practice
• I hope your success, which is an inspiration to me, will continue.
• 我希望你不断取得成功。你的成功对我是个鼓舞。
第六节 兼有状语职能的定语从句的翻译
在英语句子中，有些定语从句同时具有状语功能，在意 义上与主句有状语的关系，表明原因、结果、目的、让步、 假设等关系。 在翻译定语从句时，要善于从原文中发现这些逻辑上的关 系，然后翻译成汉语中相应的偏正复合句。
• He was none of the long-winded prosy speakers, who seem to delight in talking chiefly because they give delight to nobody.
注：定语从句后置，重复英语关系词所代表的含义
• 他绝不是长篇大论、令人感觉乏味的演说家，那些演说 家似乎主要以讲话为乐趣，因为他们无法给人以乐趣。
• 定语从句：限制性&非限制性
• 翻译方法：
1.限制性：译成前置定语或并列句 2.非限制性：译成并列句；译成独立句； 译
成其他结构 ； 3. 分述法
• 限制性定语从句对所修饰的先行词起限制作 用，与先行词关系密切，不用逗号分开。
• 1.译成前置定语：
• 把英语限制性定语从句译成带“的”的定语 词组，放在被修饰词之前，从而将复合句译 成汉语单句。

商务英语从句的翻译
英语从句的翻译Business is a combination of all these activities: production, distribution and sale, through which profit or economic surplus will be created.in a turnkey project, the seller plans, constructs, and places in operation a foreign facility that is then transferred to a local owner.And it allows me the variety of work that working at a large multi-billion bank does not have to offer as you’ll be working in narrow job description handling one type of lending.But the important thing to remember is that in the modern world we must give people skills which will prepare them for the changing world of manufacturing and production which is now upon us.It was found that a country benefits more by producing goods it can make most cheaply and buying those goods that other countries can make at lower costs than by producing everything it needs within its own border.In addition to visible trade, which involves the importing and exporting of tangible goods, there is also invisible trade, which involves the exchange of services between nations.International trade transactions refer to the exportation of goods or services from one country to another, which is the importing country. As imports are financed by exports, which help to gain foreign currency to import the badly needed raw materials, technology and equipment, the capacity of a nation to import obviously depends on its export performance.Traditionally, business simply meant exchange or trade for things people wanted or needed, but today it has a more technical definition, which is the production, distribution, and sales of goods and service for a profit.The Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) aims to achieve a situation where foreign investors are not discriminated against, but they are still subject to the same substantive laws and regulations that apply to domestic investors.International business has emerged as a separate branch of management training, because the growing scale and complexity of business transaction across national boundaries gives rise to new and unique problems of management and governmental policy that have received inadequate attention in traditional areas of business and economics.International business activities also include an extensive range of optional methods available to firms for dong business internationally that involve different degrees of foreign direct investment commitments.The seller must deliver goods which of the quantity, quality and descriptions required by the contract and which are contained or packed in the manner required by the contract.状语和状语从句Buyers or their chartering agent (租船代理人) shall advise the sellers by fax 10 days prior to the arrival of the carrying vessel (装货船只) at the port of shipment of the contract number, name of the carrying vessel, approximate loading capacity (载荷能力), lay days (装卸货日数) and port of loading.Within 30 days after the signing and coming into effect of this contract, the Buyer shall proceed to pay the price for the needs to the Seller by opening an irrevocable L/C for the full amount of USD 30 000 in favor of the Seller through a bank at export point so that the Seller may draw the sum in due time.If the technical documents are found lost, damaged or mutilated (毁伤) during air transportation, Party B shall supply Party A free of charge with a second set of the documents within the shortest possible time but not later than thirty days after it has received from Party A the written notice.The Buyer shall pay the Seller US $ 350 000 within 20 days after the Bank of China has received the following documents from the Seller and found them in order, but not earlier than 12 (twelve) months after the date the Contract Plant for the first time reached 95% of guaranteed capacity of the whole Contract Plant according to the guaranteed quality indices as per Annex VI to the Contract or 65 months after the date of signing the contract, whichever is earlier.If under the contract the buyer is to specify the form, measurement or other features of the goods and he fails to make such specification either on the date agreed upon or within a reasonable time after receipt of a request from the seller, the seller may without prejudice to any other rights he may have, make the specification himself in accordance with the requirements of the buyer that may be known to him. Should for certain reasons the Buyer not be able to inform the Seller of the foregoing details 10 days prior to the arrival of the vessel atthe port of loading or should the carrying vessel be advanced or delayed, the Buyer or their chartering agent shall advice the Sellers immediately and make necessary arrangement.The Buyer shall have the right to claim against the Seller for compensation of losses within 60 days after arrival of the goods at the port of destination, should the quality of the goods be found not in conformity with the specifications stipulated in the Contract after re-inspection by the China Commodity Inspection Bureau. The Buyers shall have the right to claim against the Sellers for compensation of short weight within 60 days after arrival of the goods at the port of destination, should the weight be found not in conformity with that stipulated in the Bill of Lading after re-inspection by the CCIB.If any change is required regarding the terms and conditions of this agreement, then both parties shall negotiate in order to find a suitable solution, provided, however, that any change of this agreement shall be subject to the approval by the government of both parties.Forms of international tradeDirect investment is a market-entry strategy which involves the establishment of foreign-based assembly and manufacturing facilities. By direct investment, the company can keep full control over the investment and marketing policies. The company can also take advantage of the lower costs in the form of cheaper labor, raw materials and transport at local place. On the other hand, direct investment faces many risks such as devalued currencies, declining market and, worst of all, nationalization—the host country takes over ownership of the company’s facilities, usually without compensating the company for the loss of property.Visible imports and exports: the import and export of tangible goods (not services)Invisible imports and exports: the import and export of services rather than actual goods, for example, banking, insurance, and professional service, etc.Quota: the maximum quantity of a certain product that is allowed into a country during a given period of time. A quota is used to limit imports.FOB:“Free on Board” means that the seller fulfils his obligation to deliver when the goods have passed over the ship’s rail at the named port of shipment. This means that the buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss of or damage to the goods from that point. The FOB term requires the seller to clear the goods for export. This term can only be used for sea or inland waterway transport. When the ship’s rail serves no practical purpose, such as in the case of roll-on/roll-off or container traffic, the FCA term is more appropriate to use.“Cost and Freight” means that the seller must pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination but the risk of loss of or damage to the goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after the time the goods have been delivered on board the vessel, is transferred from the seller to the buyer when the goods pass the ship’s rail at the port of shipment. The CFR term requires the seller to clear the goods for export. This term can only be used for sea and inland waterway transport. When the ship’s rail serves no practical purpose, such as in the case of roll-on/roll-off or container traffic, the CPT term is more appropriate to use. “Cost, Insurance and Freight” means that the seller ahs the same obligations as under CFR but with the addition that he has to procure marine insurance against the buyer’s risk of loss of or damage to the goods during the carriage. The seller contracts for insurance and pays the insurance premium. The buyer should note that under the CIF term the seller is only required to obtain insurance on minimum coverage. The CIF term requires the seller to clear the goods for export.。
第六讲--商务翻译定语从句
定语从句（2）：非限定性定语从句的翻译
1. 前置法 一些较短而具有描写性的英语非限制性定语从句，可以翻译成汉语的 前置定语，放在被修饰词之前。例如：
The sun, which had hidden all day, now came out in all its splendor. 那个整天躲在云层里的太阳，现在又光芒四射地露面了。 Transistors, which are small in size, can make previously large and bulky radios light and small.
定语从句（2）：非限定性定语从句的翻译
3. 溶合法 主从糅合，重新组合。例如：
This poem, which almost everybody knows, is written by Tennyson. 丁尼生写的这首诗，几乎人尽皆知。
定语从句（3）：带有状语功能的定语从句
① 译成表示“原因”的分句。例如：
句法翻译之四：定语从句
一般来说，限制性定语从句由于对主句起着限制作用，并影 响着主句的完整性，所以在翻译时，只要译文上口而又不会引起误 解，都是可以前置的。但是在实践中，由于汉语中短句的使用比英 语更普遍，所以常常将限制性定语从句翻译成与主句并列的句子， 而非限制性定语从句一般可以翻译成为并列句或独立句。
定语从句（1）：限定性定语从句的翻译
2. 后置法： ① 译成并列分句，重复英语先行词
They would have to live the rest of their lives under the stigma that he had recklessly participated in an action which wrecked the Summit Conference and conceivably could have launched a nuclear war. 他们可能不得不蒙受耻辱度过余生，这个耻辱就是：他曾贸 然参与了一项行动，这项行动破坏了最高级会谈，并且可以 设想，还可能触发一场核战争。 The managing director received a letter from her that announced her resignation. 总经理收到了她的信，信中说明她要辞职。
商务英语中条件关系的表达及其翻译_彭漪
・经贸翻译・商务英语中条件关系的表达及其翻译3彭 漪 于 鑫(北京科技大学外国语学院ypeng@sic1ustb1edu1cn youyouworld010@yahoo1com1cn北京市100083)摘 要 英语中表达条件关系的方式有多种,如状语从句、定语从句等。
商务英语条件句翻译的基本要求之一是表达出英文中明确的或隐含的条件关系。
明确的条件关系很易识别,但是隐含的条件关系则难于确定。
本文从条件关系的显化和隐含的角度出发,着重探讨商务英语中条件关系的表达法,并分析其翻译方法。
关键词 条件关系 商务英语 状语从句 定语从句Abstract I n English,there are a nu mber of structures exp ressing conditi onal relati on such as the adverbial clause,the attributive clause,etc1One of the require ments for the translati on of conditi onal relati on clauses in business English is t o exp ress clearly the conditi onal relati on which is exp licitly or i m p licitly indicated in English clauses1The exp licit conditi onal relati on is easily discerned1However,the i m p licit conditi onal relati on is hard t o detect1The pur pose of this paper is t o discuss structures exp ressing conditi onal relati on in business English and t o analyze their translati on1Key W ords conditi onal relati on business English adverbial clause attributive clause1 引 言条件关系句在商务英语中的使用很普遍。

For any order, the volume of which exceeds $50,000, we will allow 3% special discount. 此句相当于: If the volume of order exceeds..., we will allow...。
6、译成表示“目的”的分句 英语的目的状语从句如果用表示目的的从属 连词来引导, 语意关系很清楚, 但有些目的状语 从句如果用定语从句来表达, 似乎更简洁
Chinese delegations have been sent to European countries, who will negotiate trade agreements with the respective government. 可以把句中who 引导的定语从句理解为 “so that they will...”, 说明代表团的使命。 译文: 中国已派出几个代表团前往欧洲数国 ,以便与有关政府商谈贸易协定。
译文: 如果订单的金额超过5 万美元, 本公 司可以给予3%的特扣。
5. 译成表示“让步”的分句
英语的让步状语从句一般都用though,
although,等来引导, 但有的让步关系隐含在 定语中, 通过句子意义上的逻辑关系反映出 来
Many people do business who should not. 句中“who should not”相应于“though they should not”。 译文: 有许多人虽然不应该经商, 却要经商。
句中“which the board...”相当于 “when the board...”。
合营各方发生纠纷 , 董事会不能协商 解决时, 由中国仲 裁机构进行调解或 仲裁, 也可由合营 各方协议在其他仲 裁机构仲裁。
4. 译成表示“条件”的分句 英语的条件状语从句并不都是用if 或其他的
表示条件的从属连词来予以明确, 它可以隐
股东选举董事会, 董事会成员选任公司的管
理干部。
2. 解说复句 翻译时, 汉语中的后一句往往对前一句进 行解释、说明或概括, 解说复句一般靠分 句的次序来体现, 不用关联词。有的后分 句解释前分句,有的先概括后分述。
In 1994 the firm had $190.750 in operating expenses, which included selling expenses, administrative expenses and depreciation expenses. 该公司1994 年的经营费用为190.750 美元, 其中包括销售费用、管理费用和折旧费。
日本央行已经开始研究延长回购政府债券期限的可能性。 回购政府债券已经形成一种制度。在此制度下，日本央 行从金融机构购买政府债券，但前提是，这些债券在经 过段时间之后将由金融机构进行回购。
定语从句是商贸英语语言表达过程中最 常用、重要的基本句型之一, 其结构严谨 , 层次繁多, 涵义复杂
翻译技巧
The project has proceeded quite smoothly, which shows the correctness and objectivity of the feasibility study report. 项目进行得十分顺利, 这说明可行性研究报 告是正确和客观的
If any damage should happen to your goods, you may file your claim with their agent at your end, who will take up the matter without delay.
Disputes arising between the parties to a joint venture which the board of directors fails to settle through consultation may be settled through conciliation or arbitration by an arbitrating body of China or through arbitration by an arbitrating body agreed upon by the parties.
三、译成复指成分
当定语从句与主句关系并不十密切, 而且也没 有隐含状语职能时, 译成前置定语会显得冗长 而不符合汉语表达习惯。在这种情况下, 通常 采用后置法, 即先译主句, 然后将定语从句译 成复指成分, 这时往往需要重复先行词或者用 代词等来指代先行词或整个主句。
复指成分用两个或两个以上的词或短语指同一事物，作同一个句子成分
译文: 罢工将使远洋货轮无法靠岸,因为它们 需要拖船的帮助。
2. 译成表示“结果”的分句 英语的定语从句如果在意义上具有说明主句 结果的含义,在翻译时可以加上汉语表示结果关
系的词语,如" 因此、所以" 等词,并译成汉语表 示“结果”的分句
As you know, we operate in a highly competitive market in which we have been forced to cut our prices to the minimum. 从主句和定语从句的逻辑关系来看, 该定语从句 隐含结果的状语职能, 所以, 在译文中增加 “因此”, 将定语从句译成表示结果的分句
二、译成联合复句 商贸英语的定语从句可翻译成汉语的联
合复句, 如并列复句和解说复句。
1. 并列复句 译成汉语时, 汉语中的并列复句常常使用 几个分句说出有关的几件事, 或者说出同 一事物的几个方面。后一分句中包括或暗 含前一分句中已出现过的某一名词的并列 复句。
The owners elect a board of directors,whose members will select individuals to serve as corporate managers.
由承包商完全承包的工程中，卖主计划、涉及并将
一套国外设施投入运作，然后将其转让给地方雇主。 但需要记住的重要事情是，在现代世界里，我们必 须向人们传授技术本领，掌握这些技术本领就可以 使他们应对我们眼下所面临的不断变化着的生产制 造领域做好准备。
3. In addition to visible trade, which involves the importing and exporting of tangible goods, there is also invisible trade, which involves the exchange of services between nations.4. International business has emerged as a sraining ,because the growing scale and complexity of business transactions across national boundaries gives rise to new and unique problems of management and governmental policy that have received inadequate attention in traditional areas of business and economics.
1. 译成表示“原因”的分句
英语的定语从句如果在意义上具有说明主句 原因的含义,在翻译时可以加上汉语表示原因 关系的词语, 如" 因为" 等词, 并译成汉语表示
原因”的分句
The strike would prevent the docking of ocean steamships, which require assistance of tugboats. 句中which 引导的定语从句, 相当于: because they require ...。
Discussion 1. In a turnkey project, the seller plans, constructs, and places in operation a foreign facility that is then transferred to a local owner. 2. But the important thing to remember is that in the modern world we must give people skills which will prepare them for the changing world of manufacturing and production which is now upon us.
一、译成“的”字偏正结构 二、译成联合复句 三、译成复指成分 四、译成独立句 五、译成偏正复句
一、译成“的”字偏正结构 如果定语从句较短, 与主句关系密切, 汉 译时一般采用前置法, 即把定语从句译成 带“的”字的偏正结构, 放在被修饰词之 前。
A Sight Draft is a draft which is expressed to be payable on demand, or at sight, or on presentation.
五、译成偏正复句 商贸英语中常常会有这样一类定语从句, 它 们对先行词的限制修饰作用较弱, 在意义上 与主句有状语关系, 说明原因、结果、时间 、条件、让步、目的等关系。翻译这类定语 从句时, 要仔细分析主从句之间的逻辑关系, 要善于发现寓于语意上、逻辑上的内在联系 , 化隐为显, 把具有各种状语职能的定语从句 转译成汉语中各种相应的偏正复句。
