例一:In our travels, we didn’t find the power of women as pervasive in the communes as in the cities .
分析:句中实际否定部分是so pervasive in the communes as in the cities.
译文:在旅行中,我们发现妇女在公社中的影响不如她们在城市中的影响那样广泛。
例二:Most people think neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior.
分析:句中实际上否定can fully explain human behavior.
译文:大多数热认为,这两种理论中哪一种也不能全面地说明人的行为特征。
例三:People are not poor because they have large families. Quite the contrary, they have large families because they are poor.
分析:形式上看not是否定poor,但从上下文意思看来not是否定because所引导的从句。
译文:人们并不是因为孩子多而贫穷,恰恰相反他们贫穷才多要孩子。
例四:Nobody can come in without permission.
分析:英语中用的是否定形式的主语,译成汉语时,否定往往转移到位于上。又如:Neither of the books is published in China.(这些书都不是在中国出版的。)
译文:未经允许,任何人不得入内。

1请对下面句子进行分析,划分句子结构。
Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized, but there are many things they don not do. For example, they don not compensate for gross social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.(来自1995年英译汉真题)
2 请将上面的句子翻译成中文。
注:上面句子中的they指代的是文章中的"test(测试)".
3 请把下面的句子翻译成中文:
Methodology is a term that remains inherently ambiguous in the historical profession. There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry.Historians , especially those so blinded by their research interests that they have been accused of “tunnel method”, frequently fall victim to the “ technicist fallacy”.
(来自1999年英译汉真题)
1 分析: 这是个复合句。For example 是整个句子的状语,they do not compensate for … and thus do not tell… 是主句,how引导的从句作动词tell的宾语,had he grown up…是一个倒装的条件状语从句,修饰how引导的宾语从句。
划分: For example,/they don not compensate for gross social inequality,/ and thus do not tell /how able an underprivileged youngster might have been/ had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.
2 例如,测试并不能弥补明显的社会不公,因此,它们不能说明一个物质条件很差的年轻人,如果他在较好的环境下成长的话,会有多大才干。
或者:例如,测试并不能弥补明显的社会不公,因此就不能说明,如果在更加有利的环境下长大,一个物质条件很差的年轻人会有多么能干。
3 分析: 这是个复合句。There is no agreement 是主句,whether…or …引导状语从句,其中refers to …or ( refers ) to …并列作methodology的谓语,peculiar to historical work 和appropriate to the various branches 都是形容词短语,分别修饰名次concepts和research techniques, in general 和of historical inquiry 则分别是historical work 和the various branches 的后置定语。
译文: 方法论究竟是指一般历史研究中独有的概念,还是指历史研究中适合各个分支的研究方法,人们对此还没有一致意见。

For example,/ they don not compensate for gross social inequality,/ and thus do not tell/ how able an underprivileged youngster might have been/ had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.(来自1995年英译汉真题)
For example, /they don not compensate for /gross social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been/ had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.
例如,这些测验并没有对社会显而易见的不公平做出补偿,因此它不能告诉我们一个贫困阶层的青少年如果可以在更优越的环境中长大,他会是社么样子。
There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry.
方法论究竟指的是一般历史研究中的特有观点,还是指历史研究中适合各个分支的研究方法,对于这些人们还没有达成一致意见。
For example, they don not compensate for gross social inequality, and thus do not tell// how able an underprivileged youngster might have been /had he grown up (under more favorable circumstances).(来自1995年英译汉真题)
比如,测试对总体的社会平等就没有贡献,因此也无法说明一个穷孩子在一个更好的环境下会如何有才。
There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry.
还没有一致的观点表明方法论应该只是特指一般意义上的历史学工作,还是指用于许多历史学分支的具体研究技术。

翻译:方法论是历史研究的独特概念,还是历史研究的发现技术分支,都还没有很好的证据。
