【摘要】“初一英语定语从句的翻译指导”　英语中，定语从句分成限制性从句与非限制性从句两种。下面为大家带来有关详细内容，供大家参考：

一、前置法：把定语从句翻译到所修饰的先行词前面，可以用“的”来连接。

既然定语从句的意义是作定语修饰语，所以在翻译的时候，通常把较短的定语从句译成带“的”的前置定语，翻译在定语从句的先行词前面。

He who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.

没有吃过苦的人不知道什么是甜。

Space and oceans are the new world which scientists are trying to explore.

太空和海洋是科学家们努力探索的新领域。

His laughter, which was infectious, broke the silence.

他那富有感染力的笑声打破了沉寂。

二、后置法：把定语从句翻译在所修饰的先行词后面，翻译为并列分句。

英语的英语从句结构常常比较复杂，如果翻译在其修饰的先行词前面的话，会显得定语太臃肿，而无法叙述清楚。这时，可以把定语从句翻译在先行词后面，译成并列分句。翻译时可以用两种方法来处理。

(一)重复先行词。

由于定语从句的先行词通常在定语从句中充当句子成分，如果单独把定语从句翻译出来的话，常常需要重复先行词，还可以用代词代替先行词来重复。

I told the story to John, who told it to his brother.

他把这件事告诉了约翰，约翰又告诉了他的弟弟。

We wish to express our satisfaction at this to the Special Committee, whose activities deserve to be encouraged.

在我们对特别委员会表示满意，特别委员会的工作应该受到鼓励。

You, whose predecessors scored initial success in astronomical research, have acquired a greater accomplishment in this respect.

你们的先辈在天文学研究方面取得了初步的成功，而你们现在则在这一方面获得了更大的成就。

Although he lacks experience, he has enterprise and creativity, which are decisive in achieving success in the area.

他虽然经验不足，但很有进取心和创造力，而这正是在这一领域获得成功的关键。

(二)省略先行词。

如果把定语从句翻译在先行词后面，在“通顺、完整”的前提下，有时候可以不用重复先行词。

It is he who received the letter that announced the death of your uncle.

是他接到那封信，说你的叔叔去世了。

They worked out a new method by which production has now been rapidly increased.

他们制定出一种新方案，采用之后生产已迅速得到提高。

After dinner, the four key negotiators resumed their talks, which continued well into the night.

饭后，四个主要谈判人物继续进行会谈，一直谈到深夜。

三、融合法：把定语从句和它所修饰的先行词结合在一起翻译。

融合法是指翻译时把主句和定语从句融合成一句简单句，其中的定语从句译成单句中的谓语部分。由于限制性定语从句与主句关系较紧密，所以，融合法多用于翻译限制性定语从句，尤其是“there be ”结构带有定语从句的句型。

There is a man downstairs who wants to see you.

楼下有人要见你。(原句中的主句部分there is a man翻译成“有人”，然后将定语从句译成句子的谓语部分。)

In our factory, there are many people who are much interested in the new invention.

在我们工厂里，许多人对这项新发明很感兴趣。(原句中的主句部分there are many people翻译成“许多人”，作译文的主语，然后将定语从句译成句子的谓语部分。)

We used a plane of which almost every part carried some indication of national identity.

我们驾驶的飞机几乎每一个部件都有一些国籍标志。(原句的主句较简单，整句句子的重点是在定语从句中，因此，翻译时将主句译成主语，而将定语从句译成句子的谓语部分。)
