2、英譯漢中常見(jiàn)的重要短語(yǔ)及典型句型

1．

(1) ... not so much...... as (but) ... 與其說(shuō)……還不如說(shuō)……

(2) ... not so much that.....as (but) that...... 與其說(shuō)……還不如說(shuō)……

(3) ... not so much as..... (=not even) 甚至于不……，連……也不……

(4) ... might as well ... as..... 與其說(shuō)……還不如說(shuō)……

例1：He is not so much a teacher as a scholar.

譯文：與其說(shuō)他是老師，還不如說(shuō)是學(xué)者。（注意翻譯時(shí)動(dòng)作的對象）

例2：It wasn't so much his appearance I liked as his personality.

譯文：與其說(shuō)我喜歡他的外表，不如說(shuō)我喜歡他的品格。

例3：It's not so much that I don't want to come but I just haven't got the time.

譯文：倒不是因為我不想來(lái)，而是我根本沒(méi)有時(shí)間。

例4：He didn't so much as say thank you after all we'd done for him.

譯文：我們?yōu)樗闪四敲炊嗍?，他甚至連謝謝都沒(méi)有說(shuō)一聲。

例5：You might as well throw your money into the sea as lend it to him.

譯文：與其將錢(qián)借給他，還不如把錢(qián)丟進(jìn)大海。（注意翻譯時(shí)動(dòng)作的對象）

[注意]：more ... than ...

1) she is more beautiful than her sister. 她比她姐姐漂亮。

2) George is more intelligent than aggressive. 與其說(shuō)喬治言行放肆，不如說(shuō)他聰穎過(guò)人。

以上第1)句是more... than結構的一般用法，即在兩個(gè)不同的事物之間就同一方面作比較；而第2)句是就同一個(gè)人的兩個(gè)不同方面作比較。因此要譯成“與其說(shuō)……還不如說(shuō)……”。

more...than結構在上述1) 2)兩句中的用法也適用于less ... than結構，得出相反的含義：

例如：

1) John is less daring than quick-witted. 與其說(shuō)約翰膽大，不如說(shuō)他腦子靈活。

2) George was less intelligent than aggressive. 與其說(shuō)喬治聰穎過(guò)人，不如說(shuō)他言行放肆。

區別：

all but 幾乎，差一點(diǎn)，除……以外其余都是

but for要不是

but that+從句：若不是……

例1：She all but fainted when she heard the news.

譯文：她聽(tīng)到這一消息時(shí)幾乎暈倒了。

注：此句中a11 but意為nearly，almost。

試對比：

All but the little children thought that the trip was exciting．

譯文：除了小孩，大家都認為這次旅行是激動(dòng)人心的。

此句中all but意為a11 except。

例2：But for the rain we should have a pleasant journey.

譯文：要不是下雨，我們的旅行本來(lái)是愉快的。

例3：He would have helped us but that he was short of money at the time.

譯文：若不是他那時(shí)缺錢(qián)，他是會(huì )幫助我們的。

注1)．but that引導的從句中謂語(yǔ)用陳述語(yǔ)氣。2)．but that有靈活的譯法。如：Nothing would satisfy that child but that I place her on my lap．(那孩子什么都不要，只要我把她抱在懷里。)

3．“名詞+or+名詞”結構中or后的名詞是同位語(yǔ)，應譯為“即……；或者稱(chēng)……”

例1：Moreover, technology includes techniques, or ways to do things, as well as the machines that may or may not be necessary to apply them.

譯文：再者，除機器外技術(shù)還包括技藝，即制作方法，而動(dòng)用這些技藝并不一定都需要機器。

4．“only + to do”意為“……，結果卻……”，即表示與句子謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作的目的相反的結果。

例1: They don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema or the opera, only

to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing.

譯文：他們不必花錢(qián)去戲院、電*或歌劇院買(mǎi)價(jià)格很貴的票，（如果去了，）結果卻可能發(fā)現，所演的節目令人失望。

例2: They hurried there only to find the meeting canceled.

譯文：他們匆匆忙忙趕到那兒，結果卻發(fā)現會(huì )議被取消了。

5．not more / -er than 與 no more / -er than 結構

比較：

John is not better than Tom.

John is no better than Tom.

前一句表示“約翰不比湯姆好”，屬于普通的比較結構；后一例用了no 情況就不同了。no better than 相當于as bad as，含義是兩人一樣壞。這里，“no + 形容詞或副詞比較級 + than”所表示的可以說(shuō)是該形容詞或副詞的反意。

例如： no richer than = as poor as 和……一樣窮

no bigger than = as small as 和……一樣小

no later than = as early as 和……一樣早

同樣地：

I have not taken more than six courses this semester.

I have taken no more than six courses this semester.

前一句的含義是本學(xué)期選的課不多于六門(mén)；后一句的含義是只選了六門(mén)。強調“少”。

上述結構與表示前后都否定的no more...than (= not...any more than)又有所不同：

例：A whale is no more a fish than a horse is.（鯨和馬同樣不是魚(yú)。）

另外，在某些結構中，單獨使用more than 也能表示否定概念：

例1：That is more than I can tell. 我簡(jiǎn)直不能說(shuō)。

例2：My trip to Beijing is more than sightseeing. 我去北京不僅僅是旅游觀(guān)光而已。

6．no more...than... (= not...any more than) 和……—樣都不……(表示前后都否定)

例1：The heart is no more intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain. 心臟和胃一樣都無(wú)智力可言，因為它們都是由大腦控制的。

例2：There is no reason they should limit how much vitamin you take, any more than they can limit how much water you drink．

譯文：他們沒(méi)有理由限制你服用多少維他命，就像他們不能限制你喝多少水一樣。

例3：More and more Afro-Americans see him as a tricky enemy who has no more love for them than he has for the Congolese．

譯文：越來(lái)越多的美國黑人認識到他是個(gè)詭計多端的敵人。他仇視美國黑人，正像他仇視剛果人民一樣。(直譯：…，他不愛(ài)美國黑人，正像他不愛(ài)剛果人一樣。)

注釋?zhuān)簄ot...any more than是no more...than的一種強調形式。

例如：

1) Jack is no more intelligent than John. (=Jack is not intelligent any more than John.)

杰克與約翰一樣都不聰明。

2) A man can no more fly than a bird can speak. (=A man cannot fly any more than a bird can speak.) 人不會(huì )飛翔，就像鳥(niǎo)不會(huì )說(shuō)話(huà)一樣。

3) As a nation, the French are no more eager to 1earn about their wartime failings than are the Japanese. (=As a nation，the French are not eager to learn about their wartime failings any more than are the Japanese.)

作為一個(gè)國家，法國正如日本一樣不積極地從他們的戰爭失敗中吸取教訓。

上述例句表明，no more...than并不表示比較，而是表示比喻，含有比喻意義的比較級用于否定時(shí)，than后面的從句不用否定式，但譯成漢語(yǔ)時(shí)要用否定式。而與上述句型意義相反的是：no less...than，意為：“和……同樣是……”。例如：

Human is no less an animal than a monkey is. 人和猴都是動(dòng)物。

而no less than 的意思為：“簡(jiǎn)直是，實(shí)在是”，例如：

1) It is no less than blackmail to ask such a high price. 如此索要高價(jià)，簡(jiǎn)直是敲詐。

2) It is no less than a scandal. 這實(shí)在是一件丑聞。

7．not nearly (=by no means，far from) 遠不

例1: The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food.

譯文：食品供應將遠遠趕不上人口的增長(cháng)，這就意味著(zhù)我們在糧食的生產(chǎn)和購銷(xiāo)方面正面臨危機。

注：1) this是指上面提到的“到21世紀初世界人口將增加到60億或70億”。2) 又如：There are not nearly enough people here to do the job．(這里的人手遠遠不夠承擔這項工作。)

8．“更不用說(shuō)”的表示法：

much less

still less

以上兩短語(yǔ)引導的詞組或從句，表示一種追加的否定，less是由little的比較級，所以這兩個(gè)詞組只能用于否定句中，可譯為“更不用說(shuō)，更不必
