英语四级考试翻译技巧
俗话说，方法对了就成功了一半，好的方法和技巧在四六级翻译中不可或缺。接下来让我们看看几种不错的翻译方法吧!
01增词
在段落翻译时，为了能充分的表达原文含义，以求达意，翻译时有必要增加词语来使英文的表达更加顺畅。
例如：虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后。
译文为：Modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind.
其中间加上了增连词whereas，以使英语的句子表达更加有逻辑性。
02减词
考生要明白，英语的表达倾向简洁，汉语比较喜欢重复，重复作为汉语的一种修辞手法，在某种场合下，重复的表达一个意思，是为了强调，加强语气。汉语中为了有更强的节奏感和押韵，也经常会出现排比句。考生在翻译这些句子时，为了符合英文表达的逻辑，就要有所删减或省略。
例如：这是革命的春天，这是人民的春天，这是科学的春天!让我们张开双臂，热烈拥抱这个春天吧!
译文为：Let us stretch out our arms to embrace the spring, which is one of the revolution, of the people, and of science.
以上的汉语是比较重复的排比句，汉译英时考生要遵守英语的逻辑表达，加上定语从句来翻译，这样英文句子读起来也朗朗上口。
03词类转换
英语语言的一个很重要的特点，就是词类变形和词性转换，尤其是名词、动词、形容词之间的转换。
例如：她的书给我们的印象很深。
译文为：Her book impressed us deeply.
在此翻译中汉语中的名词印象转化成英语中的动词impress。
04语态转换
语态分为被动语态和主动语态，汉语中主动语态使用率较高，英语中被动语态的使用率较高。所以考生在翻译时，要注意语态之间的转换。
例如：这个小女孩在上学的路上受了伤。
译文为：The little girl was hurt on her way to school.
05语序变换
为了适应英文的修辞避免歧义，有时需要对原文的语序进行调整。
06分译与合译
考生在遇到较长的句子或较复杂的句子时，可以考虑分译，以使译文简洁，通俗易懂。同时考生也可以把汉语的两个较简短的句子翻译成一句英文，可以用连接词来链接。
07正反表达翻译
正反表达翻译可以分为两种情况：1.汉语从正面表达，英语从反面表达。2.汉语从反面表达，译文从正面表达。
例如：他的演讲不充实。
译文为：His speech is pretty thin.
