隨著2017考研的接近,考生們也在積極復(fù)習(xí)了。在做考研翻譯的時候,考生們也會遇到很多問題,下面是小編為大家整理收集的2017考研英語翻譯:比較結(jié)構(gòu)的翻譯技巧,僅供大家參考。
一、as…as…句型
(一)as…as…句型
My parcel is as heavy as yours.我的包裹和你的包裹一樣重。
She is as much interested in music as ever.她和以前一樣對音樂感興趣。
The economic development in our country is as stable recently as formerly.最近,我國的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和以前一樣穩(wěn)定。
(二)not as (or so)…as…句型
My uncle is not as (or so) tall as your father.我叔叔不如你父親高。
People are not so honest as they once were.人們現(xiàn)在不如過去那樣誠實了。
(三)not so much …as…句型
通常翻譯為“與其說…不如說…”。
was not so much angry as disappointed.他與其說是生氣,還不如說是失望了。(可以理解為:“他的生氣不如失望多”,就是說“他更多的是失望,憤怒是其次。”)

Bad writing is caused not so much by mistakes in grammar as by weakness in style.拙劣的寫作,與其說是語法上的錯誤,還不如說是由于文體上的弱點。
(四)not so much as…句型
not so much as…這個結(jié)構(gòu)相當(dāng)于“not even…”,所以通常翻譯為“甚至不…,甚至沒有…”。請注意與not so much …as…這個結(jié)構(gòu)的區(qū)別。
He didn’t so much as ask me to set down. 他甚至沒有請我坐下。
He cannot so much as spell a word 他甚至連一個詞也不會寫。
He hadn’t so much as his fare home. 他甚至連回家的路費(fèi)都沒有了。
二、比較級+ than to do…句型
通常翻譯為“不至于做某事”。

I have more sense than to tell him about our plan. 我不至于傻到會把我們的計劃告訴他。
I had a better command of English than to make such foolish mistakes .我的英語學(xué)得很好,不至于犯這樣愚蠢的錯誤。
三、more…than…句型
(一)more A than B句型
more A than B通常用于同一個人或者事物在兩個不同性質(zhì)或者特征上面的比較。翻譯為“與其說B,不如說A”。類似的結(jié)構(gòu)還有l(wèi)ess A than B,翻譯為“與其說A,不如說B”,請注意這兩個結(jié)構(gòu)中“與其實說”與“不如說”的對象,即A與B兩者的在翻譯中的位置。
He is more good than bad. 與其說他很壞,不如說他很好。
He is less good than bad. 與其說他很好,不如說他很壞。
He is more a writer than a teacher. 與其說他是老師,不如說他是作家。
He is less clever than diligent. 與其說他聰明,不如說他勤奮。
(二)no more …than…句型
no more …than…句型在意義上與not any more than….一樣,表示對兩者都否定,所以可以翻譯為“…和….一樣不,不…正如…,既不…也不…,…和…兩者都不”。跟no more …than…句型相近,但是意義相反的句型是no less…than…,可以翻譯為“既是…,也是…,兩者都是…”。
His grammar is no better than mine. 他的語法同我的一樣不好。
He is no more a writer than a painter. 他既不是畫家也不是作家。
He is no less a writer than a painter. 他既是畫家也是作家。

(三)more than…句型
1.more than后面接數(shù)詞,表示“多于…,….以上”的意思。
I have known him for more than twenty years. 我已經(jīng)認(rèn)識她二十多年了。

2.more than后面接名詞或者動詞,表示“不只是…”的意思。

He more than smiled, but laughed. 他不只是微笑,而是放生大笑。
3.more than后面接形容詞、副詞或者分詞,表示“極其,非常”的意思。

4.more than… can… 則表示“難以…,完全不能…”的意思。
