IV.TranslatingSkillsPractice

Appositives（同位語的翻譯）

可以充當同位語的有名詞、代詞、介詞短語、不定式等。同位語

通常放在有關成分（本位語）之后，并對其內(nèi)容作進一步的解釋

說明。同位語一般用逗號及本位語隔開（但有時也可不隔開）。

下面舉例說明有關同位語的各種表達方式及其翻譯方法：

1.名詞或代詞、形容詞、數(shù)詞等作同位語，一般及本位語譯在

一起：

Youmayleaveittoustwo.

你可以把這件事交給我們兩個。

Sheseemeddifferentfromthemall.

她似乎和他們所有的人都不同。

2.有些同位語結構復雜一些，如由引導詞引導，翻譯時一般譯

在本位語之后，且要用標點符號（逗號、冒號或破折號）隔開。

Thenarosethequestionwhereweweretogetthemachines

needed.

這時就產(chǎn)生了一個問題：我們到哪兒去找需要的機器。

Theyvisitedeightcities,forexample,London

andParis.

他們訪問了八座城市，例如倫敦和巴黎。

3.在某些涵義需要進一步說明的名詞（如idea,fact,news,

hope,belief,thought,doubt等）后可that從句作同位語,

稱為同位語從句。翻譯時多譯成該名詞的定語。

Ihadnoideathatyouwerehere.

我不知道你也在這兒。

Obviouslytherewaslittleprobabilitythattheywould

succeed,buttheydidn,tmind.

很明顯他們成功的可能性極小，但是他們不在意。
