上。從功能來說，英語有三大復(fù)合句，即：

①名詞性從句，包括主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句；

②形容詞性從句，即我們平常所說的定語從句；

③狀語從句正確翻譯英語句子是英語學(xué)習(xí)者必須解決的問題。對于一些結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜的難句，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)使用技巧使其簡單化。一般來說，可以使用順序法、逆序法、分句法和插入語靈活翻譯法。這些句子結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，邏輯性強，翻譯起來困難相當(dāng)大。但是，無論多長的句子、多么復(fù)雜的結(jié)構(gòu)，它們都是由一些基本的成分組成的。只要弄清英語原文的句法結(jié)構(gòu)，找出整個句子的中心內(nèi)容及其各層意思，然后分析各層意思之間的邏輯關(guān)系，再按漢語的特點和表達方式就可以譯出原文了。在長句的英譯漢實踐中，我們始終應(yīng)記住英漢在句法結(jié)構(gòu)上的差異，不必拘泥于形式。
