IV.TranslatingSkillsPractice

Appositives（同位语的翻译）

可以充当同位语的有名词、代词、介词短语、不定式等。同位语

通常放在有关成分（本位语）之后，并对其内容作进一步的解释

说明。同位语一般用逗号及本位语隔开（但有时也可不隔开）。

下面举例说明有关同位语的各种表达方式及其翻译方法：

1.名词或代词、形容词、数词等作同位语，一般及本位语译在

一起：

Youmayleaveittoustwo.

你可以把这件事交给我们两个。

Sheseemeddifferentfromthemall.

她似乎和他们所有的人都不同。

2.有些同位语结构复杂一些，如由引导词引导，翻译时一般译

在本位语之后，且要用标点符号（逗号、冒号或破折号）隔开。

Thenarosethequestionwhereweweretogetthemachines

needed.

这时就产生了一个问题：我们到哪儿去找需要的机器。

Theyvisitedeightcities,forexample,London

andParis.

他们访问了八座城市，例如伦敦和巴黎。

3.在某些涵义需要进一步说明的名词（如idea,fact,news,

hope,belief,thought,doubt等）后可that从句作同位语,

称为同位语从句。翻译时多译成该名词的定语。

Ihadnoideathatyouwerehere.

我不知道你也在这儿。

Obviouslytherewaslittleprobabilitythattheywould

succeed,buttheydidn,tmind.

很明显他们成功的可能性极小，但是他们不在意。
