同声传译：（1）翻译思维训练 （2）跟读训练：跟读汉语，跟读英语 （3）影子训练（shadow training）读完英语说答案
定语从句 其有两种翻译方法： 绝对重点、考点
1.前置：把定语从句翻译在所修饰的先行词前面。 (short)
Furthermore, humans have the ability to/ modify the environment/ in which they live,/ thus subjecting all other life forms to /their own peculiar ideas and fancies.
而且，therefore,hence,thus
Subject(1)n:科目课程主题,对象New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to newstandards of elegance.
（2）使…服从于life forms生命形式
代词所指，首先指代明确，常常往前看。遵循就近和一致原则。
万不得已，仍用代词翻译或者可以用“这种情况/说法/观点”来翻译
But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past（过去的情景）, for what they were seeing were the patterns（形状） and structures that existed 15 billion years ago
还原强调部分后，直接翻译
How well（在多大程度上） the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it（指代information） is interpreted.(解释信息)
This trend began during the Second World War, when（当时） several governments came to the conclusion （得出结论）that the specific demands （that a government wants to make） of its scientific establishment（机构） cannot generally be foreseen in detail.（详细预见）
同位语从句的翻译：加“:”
同位语从句与定语从句的区别：同位语从句是一句完整的话，不缺少任何成份；定语从句的 先行词的数量很多，而同位语的先行词数量则很少，常用的有 news、fact、conclusion、idea、 suggestion等
定语从句需前置： 如果定语从句结构简单， 信息负载量不大， 并且与先行词的关系比较密切，翻译时前置。
定语从句后置需要重复先行词。
2.后置：把定语从句翻译在所修饰的先行词后面。 (long)
人名地名1、遵照习惯2、根据音译 Cliton
（1）Pearson has pieced together（已经汇集了） the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce(编定、编制) a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest（最晚的、最迟的） dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.
（2）Actually（事实并非如此）, it isn't(这种说法是错误的), because it assumes（假设） that there is an agreed（一致的） account（认识） of human rights, which（an agreed account） is something (无需翻译)the world does not have（存在）.
（3）There will be television chat shows(电视聊天节目，不能用“秀”) hosted by robots, and cars with pollution monitors that（cars） will disable（不能运行，行使） them when they offend(污染超标，违规)
时态的翻译：增词法
1.所有跟过去相关的时态增加“过去” 、“一直” 、“已经”还有“了” ；
2.所有跟进行相关的时态常常用“正在”
3.所有跟将来相关的时态用“将”、“将要/将会”、“就要”
Digital age will have arrived.届时数字时代到来。 Short屹立 相形见绌monk和尚
there be句型的翻译：通常用“有”来翻译
1.用英语原文中的状语作汉语译文的主语，再加“有”
2.加汉语的泛指主语，如“人们” 、 “大家” 、 “每一个人” 、 “我们”
3.直接翻译“有” ，翻译成汉语的无主句 （有、出现、存在）
There will be a warm winter.
（4）"In short", a leader of the new school(学派) contends（说，指出，认为）, "the scientific revolution, as we call it, was largely the improvement and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded（拓展） the reach（领域） of science in innumerable directions." 73) Over the years, tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science.
常考动词：contend argue assert claim allege mentain
长句猜意
拆分与组合：拆出主句，分清从句
拆出主干，分清层次
六个拆分点：1.连词；2.引导词；3.介词；4.分词；5.to；6.标点 7单个单词不能拆分
拆分的法则：语法；组合的法则：汉语习惯。
Social science is that branch of intellectual（知识分子） enquiry（研究） which seeks to study humans and their endeavors（行为） in the same reasoned（理性的）, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned（冷静的客观的） manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena. （方式状语）
小结：
定语从句后置： 如果定语从句结构复杂， 信息负载量比较大， 并且与先行词的关系不太密切，翻译时后置。这时通常需要重复先行词或者用代词代替重复先行词。

被动句：常常翻译成主动句，可以作主宾颠倒，省略被字，直接转化，但有时候仍然可以用“被、受到、得到、加以、得以、为什么所、由什么来、是什么的”
（1）主宾颠倒

（4）有时也需加上“被”字

多重并列定语 一层一层翻译
形式主语
通常当作固定短语翻译到整个句子最前面

插入结构：直接翻译，但有时还须放到整个句子最前面翻译

状语和状语从句
英语中，常常可以直接翻译但是通常需要把时间、条件、让步、目的和原因状语从句翻译到主句之前，状语的最恰当位置应该是在汉语中主语之后动词之前，时间在前，地点在后

如何理解句子的成分：
1、分析词性
2、做基础语法判断

倒装结构：
常常还原到正常语序后再翻译

并列结构
They are the possessions of the autonomous (self-governing) man of traditional theory（自主人）, and they are essential to practices in which a person is held responsible for his conduct and given credit for his achievements（因其成就获得信任）
Give credit for 因…而获得赞扬
This seems mostly effectively done by supporting a certain amount(某些研究) of research not related to immediate goals but of possible consequence in the future.
需要看上下文的情况：
代词，尤其是划线句子主语是代词
划线句子出现生词
（fallacy谬误）It applies equally to（存在于） traditional historians who view history as only the external and internal criticism of sources, and to social science historians who equate their activity with specific techniques.（前者…后者）

英语中的并列结构是指两个获两个以上的并列成分，有明显的连词标记或标点符号连接，翻译的时候常常重复其并列部分。如果并列结构后面有东西修饰的时候，常常修饰整个并列。
否定结构：
1. 部分否定及在否定句中出现both all every each 翻译为“并非所有”all the glitters are not gold
2. 形式否定内容肯定（1）nothing but=绝对是
(2)can not….too 越什么越好
3. 形式肯定内容否定（1）anything but=决不
（2）fail neglect refuse… from 没有，不
