口译中翻译复杂中文句子的方法我曾写过一个帖子，介绍如何将一个复杂的英文句子翻译成中文。昨天我收到您“CQ美眉”的邮件，她请我再写一个帖子，介绍如何将一个复杂的中文句子翻译成英文，也就是再写一个相反的帖子。这位您还特意给我提供了一个例句，请看下面：每一个人，作为社会的一个成员，有权享受其人格和尊严的自由开展所必需的社会、经济、文化权利，这些权利是通过国家努力和国际合作来实现的，并且与所在国家的组织、资、现状相一致。对于这种比较复杂的中文句子，在正式翻译成英文句子之前，应当按照它的含义，将它划分成不同的部分，以便我们确定英文句子的构造。我首先将这个中文句子划分成6个部分，请特别注意，第4部分嵌套在第3部分中间。每一个人，作为社会的一个成员，有权享受 其人格和尊严的自由开展所必需的 社会、经济、文化权利，这些权利是通过国家努力和国际合作来实现的，并且与所在国家的组织、资、现状相一致。这样划分之后，我初步决定，将第4、5、6部分翻译成三个定语从句，用来修饰第3部分的最后一个单词rights，请看：Everyoneas a member of societyis entitled to the social, economic and cultural rightswhich are necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignitywhich are realized through national effort and international cooperationwhich are concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.不过，在英语中，通常是一个定语从句修饰一个名词，很少有三个定语从句修饰一个名词，因此我临时决定，将第4部分改写成一个短语，将第5、6部分合并成一个定语句子，请看：Everyoneas a member of societyis entitled to the social, economic and cultural rightsnecessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignitywhich are realized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant withthe organization, resources and situation of each country.最后，将这5个部分组合起来，就是这个中文句子的英文译文。Everyone, as a member of society, is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rightsnecessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity, which arerealized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant with theorganization, resources and situation of each country.另外，LT论坛的ptbptb您另提供的一个版本如下：Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled torealization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with theorganization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rightsindispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.第 页 共 页
