4、本差异,我们概括为前者重形合,后者重意合。2021/5/275o形合:指得是句中的词语成分或分句之间用语言形式手段连接起来,表达语法关系和逻辑关系。ow关系词:关系代词、关系副词、连接代词、连接副词,如who,whose,that,which,what,when,owhere,why,how 等,用来连接主句和定语从句,主语从句、宾语从句或表语从句。ow连接词:并列连词和从属连词,如and,or,but,yet,so,however,as well as,eitheror,when,while,as,since,until,so that,unless,lest等,用来连接词、词组、分句或状语
5、从句。ow介词:简单介词(with,to,in)、合成介词(inside,onto,upon)、成语介词(according to,along with,apart from),用来连接词、或从句。2021/5/276o其他连接手段:如形态变化,包括词缀变化,动词、名词、代词、形容词和副词的形态变化(如性、格、时、体、语态、语气、比较级、人称等)及其保持前后一致的关系的关系。o意合:指的是词语或成分之间不用语言形式手段连接,句中的语法意义和逻辑关系通过词语或分句的含义表达。汉语的意合法往往采用以下手段。o语序o她不老实,我不能信任她。oBecause she is not honest,I c

7、称,往往不用关联词。o他不来,我不去。oIf he wont come here,Ill not go there.2021/5/278紧缩句o紧缩句:这类意合句是由复句紧缩而成的。“所谓紧,就是紧凑,是取消各分句之间的语音停顿,让它们紧紧地挨在一起;所谓缩,就是压缩,是略去原来分句的一些词语,让它们简约一些。”这类句式简明紧凑,分句之间的语法关系和逻辑关系往往是隐含的。o有饭大家吃。(如果有饭的话,那就让大家吃吧。)oLet everybody share the food if there is any.o不到黄河心不死。Until all is over,ambition never d

11、ns in the north,it will be stormy.2021/5/2713物称与人称物称与人称 o英语的另一个造句特点是其物称倾向,即往往采用不能主动发出动作或无生命事物的词语作主语,尤其在新闻、科技、学术文献及某些散文作品中用得较多;而汉语则往往更习惯于人称化的说法,即采用能主动发出动作或有生命的物体充当主语。2021/5/2714o例如:oAbsence and distance make the overseas Chinese heart increasingly fond of the Peking regime.(物称)o 华侨离乡背井,远居国外,因而他们在感情上越
12、来越向往北京政权。(人称)oBitterness fed on the man who had made the world laugh.(物称)o这位曾使全世界人发出笑声的人自己却饱受辛酸。(人称)2021/5/2715oHis addition completed the list.(物称)o加上他,名单就完备了。(无主句)o这种差异的文化根源是:西方人较注重客体思维,因而往往让事物以客观的口气呈现出来;而汉人注重主体思维,往往以人为中心叙述事物。这种思维方式反映在语言表达上便产生了与西方的差异,即英语句法的物称特点和汉语的人称倾向。翻译时一般都需作主客体转换,有时译成无主句。2021/5/27162021/5/27172021/5/2718
