从语篇层面上说，英汉两种语言在形合 （hypotaxis）和意合（parataxis）方面的差异。
由于英汉两种语言逻辑思维的不同，英语重“形 合”，句子内部的连接或句子间的连接采用显性的语 言手段来实现，主要是通过各种语法手段和词汇手段， 以表示其结构和逻辑关系。因此，英语中长句多。汉 语重“意合”，句中各成分之间或句子之间的结合少 用甚至不用形式衔接手段，主要靠句子内部的隐性逻 辑联系，注重逻辑事理的顺序以及意义和主旨上的衔 接和连贯。因此，汉语中短句多，短句间的逻辑关系 靠意义来表达，语法处于次要地位。在翻译过程中， 要牢记英汉两种语言在形合和意合上的差别，注意形 合和意合之间的转换和调整。

1) I had so worked upon my imagination as really to believe that about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity— an atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees, and the grey wall, and the silent tarn—a pestilent and mystic vapor, dull, sluggish, faintly discernible, and leaden-hued.
