【中式英语】错误的逻辑关联词

错误的逻辑关联词

最常见的错误就是逻辑关系明明是转折，应该用"but"或"however"，却用了"and"或

"also“:

•In our system the public sector is the major sector of the economy and there are

also other sectors.

这个句子的意思是：诚然，在我们的体系中公共部门是经济的主要部门，但是并不只

有这一个部门。表达两个分句逻辑关系的词应是"but"而不是"and"：•In our system the public sector is the major sector of the economy, but there are

also other sectors.

•

Efforts will be made to introduce pensions, medical insurance, and housing systems,

and the best way to get laid-off workers out of poverty is to help them find jobs, Li

stressed.

这个句子的意思应该是：对，我们将采取其它措施来保障失业者的生活，但最重要的

事是帮助他们找到工作。两个分句之间的关系应用"but"来表达：•Efforts will be made to introduce pensions, medical insurance, and housing systems,

but the best way to get laid-off workers out of poverty is to help them find jobs, Li

stressed.

有时译者会犯相反的错误，将应该用"and"的地方，用了转折连接词：•In most of these new areas last autumn's public grain, which constitutes the greater

part of national revenue, was collected only in January and February of this year.

However, in many localities it has not yet been collected; tax collection in newly

liberated areas has not been organized very quickly.

第一个句子告诉读者大部分新解放区有个问题：粮食税收得很迟。第二个句子是说，

有一些地方的问题更严重：粮食税根本收不上来。因此第二个句子与第一个句子应该

是递进关系，而不是转折关系：

•In most of these new areas last autumn's public grain, which constitutes the greater

part of national revenue, was collected only in January and February of this year, and

in many places it has still not been collected. It has taken time to organize tax collection in newly liberated areas.

"and"和"or"也经常混淆：

•Yunnan Province will also build and upgrade the highways leading from Kunming to

such areas as Sichuan Province, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and

Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.

同一条公路不能同时又新修，又升级，作者想表达的应该是：•Yunnan Province will also build or upgrade the highways leading from Kunming to

such areas as Sichuan Province, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and

Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.

对于这类问题并没有什么统一的解决办法，只能在使用连接词的时候多注意，仔细考

虑你要表达的是什么逻辑关系。
