浅析英语长句翻译

解析：此句的断句刚好是各个分号，容易识别。语言较为简单，顺势翻译即可。

2、句式重构

句式重构就是根据原文的结构，按照汉语叙事的习惯重新组合句子使得汉语行文更加流畅自然。

例2、 It is impossible to express theflutterings of my very heart when I found all my wealth about me: for as the Brazil ships come all in fleets, the same ships which brought my letters brought my goods: and the effects were safe in the river before the letters came to my hand.

译文：巴西的船只编队航行，其中一艘船带来了我的信，同时也把我的货物运载过来了：这封信送达我手中之前，财产已经安全抵达里斯本河了。当我知道我的财富近在眼前时，心中一阵阵激动狂喜之情无法言表。

解析：当然此句也可以按照原文的顺序翻译。但是汉语在很多情况下，按照“原因在前，结果在后”或“前提在前，结论在后”的顺序来陈述因果关系的，英语恰恰相反。本句的中调是强调“It is impossible to express the flutterings……”的部分，所以句子结构调整下更为符合汉语的表达。

例3、 Food manufacturers are flooding the UK with new products in response to rising demand from a population hungry for “something different”.
