12、许多语气助词，如“的”、“吧”、“呢”、“啊”、“呀”、“嘛”、“吗”、“啦”、“了”不同的语气词可以发挥不同的作用，英汉互译时需用心体验，以期译出从意义和修辞色彩等都符合的译文。同时，英语中的数词（包括不定冠词a）与可数名词直接连用，它们之间并无量词，而汉语往往要借助量词。因此英译汉时，应根据实际情况恰当地增加表示其形状、特征或材料的名量词名量词。不要生气嘛嘛！我不过开开玩笑罢了罢了。1).Dont get angry.Im just making fun of you.第13页，共24页。2).As for me,I didnt agree from the very beginning.

14、增加重叠词表示复数ve.g.Flowers bloom in the fields.朵朵鲜花开满原野。ve.g.Every summer,tourists go to the coastal cities.v 一到夏季，旅游者纷纷涌到海滨城市。ve.g.Rows of new houses have been set up.一排排的新房建成了。第15页，共24页。7.增加数词或其它词表示复数v汉语中有些数字词汇在文中并不表示具体的数字，只是表示“多，众多”的意思，如百（百花齐放，百家争鸣，百鸟朝凤，百感交集）、千（千篇一律，千人一面，千方百计）、万（万众一心，万紫千红，万水千山，千难万险）等；

15、还有些词，如、群、众、历、丛等也表示数量的多：v e.g.The lion is the king of animals.狮子是百兽之王。v e.g.The mountains were covered with snow.群山白雪皑皑。v e.g.The crowd made a way for him.众人给他闪开了一条道。第16页，共24页。v8.Adding quantifiers英语中的名词，特别是可数名词，一般直接与数词或冠词连用；而汉语几乎总是要用量词。ve.g.I bought a new bike yesterday.我昨天买了一辆新自行车。ve.g.A red sun ro

17、型变化和加助动词来表达的。汉语动词没有时态变化，表达时态时除用具体表示时间的词或词组，如昨天、此时此刻、下周、年前等，还要借助于时态助词“曾、已经、过、了正在、着、将、就、要、会、便”被用来表示过去现在将来发生的动作或存在的状态。对时间概念作强调时，往往加词翻译。ve.g.I had heard about him before I met him.v 我在见到他之前就听说过他了。ve.g.Once I was his boss,but now he is mine.v 我一度曾是他的上司；不过现在是他领导我。强调时间的对比时，要加词翻译。ve.g.They say his father wa

21、,there was the“ping”heard around the world.In July,the ping“ponged”.v如只照原文译出“四月份，全世界听到乒的一声；七月里，这乒声乓了一下。”读者肯定不知所云。根据中美建交的背景知识，把这段外交史话译为：v 四月里，全世界听到中国乒的一声把球打了出去；到了七月，美国乓的一声把球打了回来。ve.g.Mao and Zhou learned that Nixon had the desire for a visit.v 毛泽东和周恩来获悉尼克松有访华的念头。第21页，共24页。v12.Adding summarizing words
