定语从句详解(很全)

定语从句详解(很全)

定语从句定语从句(Attributive Clauses)在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词,有时也可以修饰部分或整个句子。

被修饰的名词,词组或代词即先行词。

定语从句通常出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。

关系代词有:who,whom,whose,that,which,as。

关系副词有:when,where,why,how。

关系代词和关系副词放在先行词和定语从句之间,起连接作用,同时又可做定语从句的一个成分。

当关系代词做宾语时可以省略。

定语从句中的谓语动词必须在人称上和数量上和先行词保持一致。

定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。

一、定语从句的翻译许多英语初学者往往弄不明白为什么引导定语从句的关系词which不能译为“哪一个”,who不能译为“谁”,when不能译为“什么时候”,where不能译为“什么地方”,等等。

首先,我们必须要明白一点,那就是引导定语从句的which,who,when,where,why等是关系词(关系代词或关系副词),而不是疑问词,所以不能按疑问词的意思来理解。

前面我们讲到,英语中的定语从句总是后置的,即要放在被修饰名词或代词之后;但在汉语中,定语通常是前置的,也就是说定语要放在被修饰名词的前面,并通常表现为“……的”这样的形式。

当我们翻译英语中定语从句的时候,一般可以按汉语习惯,将定语从句翻译在被修饰的名词或代词之前,而其中的关系词一般就是译成汉语中的“……的”。

如:He showed me the article that he had written.他把他写的文章拿给我看。

句中的that he had written为修饰名词the article的定语从句,翻译时就可译为“他写的文章”,其中的关系代词that在此译成了“的”字。

She was not in the train which arrived just now.她不在刚到的那列火车上。

定语从句翻译

1.译成定语“的”字结构
• 这是最为常见的一种英译汉的方式,翻译成中 文时,将定语部分放在被修饰名词的前面。
• 例1:He is not the one who will give up easily. 译文:他不是一个轻易服输的人。
• 例2:Our two countries are neighbors whose friendship is of long standing. 译文:我们两国是友谊长存的友好邻邦。
3.译成相对独立的小分句
• 有些定语从句在修饰关系上与先行词之间关系显得较 为疏远,这时,我们通常会将定语从句译成独立的句 子。
• 例1: One was a violent thunderstorm, the worst I had ever seen, which obscured my objective. 译文:有一次暴风骤雨,猛烈的程度实在是我平生所 鲜见的。这场暴风雨遮住了我的目标。
2.不翻译关系代词或关系副词
• 有些定语从句表面上是非限制性定语从句,但在意义上却已经和 主句融为了一体。在翻译时,应该将引导定语从句的关系词省略, 从而使句子的意思显得更为连贯。
• 例1: After dinner, the four key negotiators resumed their talks, which continued well into the night. 译文:晚饭后,四个主要谈判人物继续进行会谈,一直谈到深夜。
• 二、分译法:
• 分译法是指将主句和从句分开翻译的一种方法, 主要用于较长的非限制性定语从句里。采用这 种方法可避免句子的冗长和累赘。这种方法一 般采用主句在前,从句在后的翻译形式,将句 子翻译成两个相对独立的小分句。

定语从句四大翻译方法

定语从句四大翻译方法泛瑞翻译定语从句是英语学习的难点,也是考研英语考查的重点。

定语从句的翻译方法主要有以下几种,一起来学习下吧!①前置法:这是定语从句的翻译中较常见的一种,即把定语从句的内容翻译成“…………的”,放在被修饰词的前面。

这种方法的使用有一个原则即是定语从句内容简短,翻译符合汉语表达习惯。

②后置法:与前置法不同,后置法就是把定语从句的翻译放在被修饰词之后,这样做的目的在于使译文符合汉语的表达习惯。

在此,定语从句的后置翻译分为三类:由which引导定语从句时一般翻译为“这”;另一些引导词则在翻译时重复先行词,即被修饰词;还有一些引导词在翻译时可以省略不译。

③融合法:在限制性定语从句中,由于定语从句与主句关系紧密,所以定语从句往往翻译成句子的谓语部分,主语即是定语从句的先行词。

这里讲的融合法即是将定语从句与主句融合为一个简单句的方法。

这种用法往往用在“there be”结构带有定语从句的句型中。

④状译法:英语的定语从句中有一类在形式上是主句的定语从句,而其所起的作用却相当于主句的状语,修饰主句的谓语或者全句。

这种状语功能常常包括原因、结果、目的、条件、让步等,所以我们在翻译时需要弄清主句和定语从句之间的逻辑关系,从而是译文通顺合理,符合汉语表达习惯。

【真题例句】Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.【解析】句子可拆分为:Behaviorists suggest //that the child //who is raised in an environment //where there are many stimuli// which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses// will experience greater intellectual development.is raised是从属连词who从句的动词;are是where从句的动词;develop 是which从句的动词;由于跟在从属连词后的动词不可能是主句的谓语动词,所以前面提到的三个动词全都不是主句的谓语动词。

定语从句翻译方式

定语从句翻译方式定语从句翻译方式定语从句的翻译有一定的翻译方式,下面是店铺为大家整理的定语从句翻译方式!第一、前置翻译法:把定语从句翻译到所修饰的先行词前面,可以用“的”来连接。

但前置翻译法往往适用于较短的定语。

如:Yao Ming is a basketball player who is ver great.姚明是一名非常伟大的运动员。

He who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.没有吃过苦的人不知道是甜。

Space and oceans are the new world which scientists are trying to explore.太空和海洋是科学家们努力探索的新领域。

His laughter,which was infectious,broke the silence.他那富有感染力的'笑声打破了沉寂。

第二、后置翻译法:把定语从句翻译在所修饰的先行词后面,翻译为并列分句。

其中对于先行词的处理有两种:1. 重复先行词。

如:I told the story to John,who told it to his brother.他把这件事告诉了约翰,约翰又告诉了他的弟弟。

We wish to express our satisfaction at this to the Special Committee,whose activities deserve to be encouraged.在我们对特别委员会表示满意,特别委员会的工作应该受到鼓励。

Although he lacks experience,he has enterprise and creativity,which are decisive in achieving success in the area.他虽然经验不足,但很有进取心和创造力,而这正是在这一领域获得成功的关键。
