賓語(yǔ)從句的翻譯技巧

(1)用that, what, how, when, which, why, whether, if 等引起的賓語(yǔ)從句，翻譯成漢語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，一般不需要改變它在原句中的順序。

I told him that because of the last condition, I’d have to turn it down.

我告訴他，由于那最后一個(gè)條件，我只得謝絕。

Can you hear what I say?

你聽(tīng)得到我所講的嗎?

I don’t know that he swam across the river.

我不知道他游過(guò)了那條河。

I don’t know how he swam across the river.

我不知道他是怎么游過(guò)那條河的。

He has informed me when they are to discuss my proposal.

他已經(jīng)通知我他們將在什么時(shí)候談?wù)撐业慕ㄗh。

有時(shí)可加“說(shuō)”字，再接下去翻譯譯英語(yǔ)原文賓語(yǔ)從句的內(nèi)容。

Smith replied that he was sorry.

斯密斯回答說(shuō)，他感到遺憾。

He would remind people again that it was decided not only by himself but by lots of others.

他再三提醒大家說(shuō)，決定這件事的不只是他一個(gè)人，還有其他許多人。

(2)用it 作形式賓語(yǔ)的句子，在翻譯的時(shí)候，that所引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句一般可按英語(yǔ)原文順序翻譯;it有時(shí)候可以不用翻譯。

I made it clear to them that they must hand in their papers before 10 o’clock in the morning.

我向他們講清楚了的，他們必須在上午十時(shí)前交卷。(it沒(méi)有翻譯)

I heard it said that he had gone abroad.

聽(tīng)說(shuō)他已經(jīng)出國(guó)了。(it沒(méi)有翻譯)

但有時(shí)候，也可以在譯文中將that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句提前到句子最前面翻譯。

I regard it as an honor that I am chosen to attend the meeting.

我被選參加會(huì)議，感到光榮。(it沒(méi)有翻譯)
