例如:
1. Trying doors as he went, swinging his club with many clever movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eyes down the peaceful street, the officer, with his strongly-built form and slight air of superiority, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace.
译文:这位警官边走边审视周围的房门,灵巧的挥动着警棍,警惕的目光不时投向寂静的街头。他身材魁梧,姿态略显神气,展现出一幅和平卫士的优美画面。
原文的主句是the officer, with his strongly- built form and slight air of superiority, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace。
原文一开始先是用时间状语从句描述一连串的伴随动作,随后主句描述动作发出者的样子,描绘顺序符合汉语习惯。因此,按原文顺序翻译。
2)倒译法
所谓倒译法,是指在英语长句中的表达顺序与汉语习惯不一致,或者相反时,需要从后往前翻译的方法。
英语中,句子的顺序通常是先主句后从句,而汉语句子则是恰恰相反,先从句后主句。
英语中时间状语一般放在句子后部,而在汉语中通常时间状语应放在句首www.Examw.com
例如:
We are self-destructive when we envy a student who gets better grades.
