18、须学习翻译技巧。翻译的技巧就是在翻译过程中用词造句的处理方翻译的技巧就是在翻译过程中用词造句的处理方法。如法。如词词义义的选择、词义的引伸、增词、减词、转换的选择、词义的引伸、增词、减词、转换词类、改变句子结构、变更词序和改换译法词类、改变句子结构、变更词序和改换译法等。等。一、词义的选择一、词义的选择 词义的选择实际就是英语单词在特定句子中的词词义的选择实际就是英语单词在特定句子中的词义的判断和确定。词在特定句子中的确切含义，在很义的判断和确定。词在特定句子中的确切含义，在很大程度上大程度上取决于上下文取决于上下文,还还 应该根据应该根据词在句子中的作词在句子中的作用用词的搭配习惯词的搭配习
19、惯以及以及词的应用场合词的应用场合予以判断和确定。予以判断和确定。一般可从下列几个方面去判断。一般可从下列几个方面去判断。英语中，有些词用作不同的词类时，其词义有时是不相同的，因此我们可根据词类来确定词义。例如：Every metal part is of great importance to machines.每一个金属部件对机器都是很重要的。(n)Aluminum machines faster than other metals.铝加工起来比其它金属快。(v)Microprocessors monitor tire wear and brake power on cars.微处理器检测
20、汽车轮胎的耐用性和制动力。(v)The patient was connected to a television wave monitor.病人与波形监视器相连。(n)1、根据词类判断词义、根据词类判断词义严格说来，孤立的一个词很难确定它是什么意思，因为同一个词在不同的场合可能具有不同的意义，因此有些词必须根据上下文来确定其词义。develop:The countrys industry has developed quickly in the last decade.过去十年里，我国工业迅猛发展。To develop the instrument,many experts were inv
21、ited.在研制这种仪器时请了许多专家。The function of the engine is to develop the necessary power.发动机的功用就是产生所需要的动力。2、根据上下文选择词义、根据上下文选择词义This cooling system failed.冷却系统失效了.Newtons laws fail to describe the motion of electrons in atoms.牛顿的一些定律未能阐述电子在原子里的运动。If the beam fails,the top layers of the supports will be crush
22、ed and the bottom layers torn.如果桥梁垮塌，则支柱的上面几层会被压垮，而下面会破裂。fail 英语中，同一个词在不同的专业中往往具有不同的词义。因此，在判断英语词的词义时，必须考虑到英语著作阐述的内容所涉及的概念属于哪个学科、哪个专业的。例：power动力;体力;力,力气;权力,势力;强国;乘方,幂3、根据专业内容选择词义、根据专业内容选择词义Knowledge is power.知识就是力量。To drive machines requires power.开动机器需要动力。The power of such a battery is therefore abo
