六、定语从句的处理 定语从句一般有三种译法：简短的从句处理成汉语相应的定语，若从句较长且结构复杂，可重复所修饰的名词另译成一句，有时依据原文的内在逻辑关系将从句处理成汉语的状语，这时需要添加表示时间、条件、原因、转折等连词。 One’s thought must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. 一个人应当把心思放在未来，放到可以有所作为的事情上。 In spite of the title, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. 尽管有这样一个标题，这篇文章真正要谈的却是如何不变老。在我这个年龄，这实在是一个至关重要的问题。 There is now a single accepted pronunciation for the vast majority of words in ordinary polite use, deviation from which is regarded either as a provincialism or as a vulgarism. 现今日常社交所用的大多数读音已有了一个公认的统一的标准。不符合这个标准，就被称为方言或粗俗发音。 There can be no criticism of the custom, but there may be an unfortunate effect that prolonged routine work dulls the imagination. （06试卷） 这种习惯做法不会招致什么批评，但也许会有一种不好的作用—长久的日常工作削弱想象力。 We support the open trading system which is to the ultimate advantage of all. 我们支持开放的贸易制度，因为它最终对各方都是有益的。 She was very patient toward the children, which her husband seldom was. 她对孩子门很有耐心，而她丈夫却很少这样。 The ambassador was giving a dinner for a few people whom he wished especially to talk to or hear from. 大使只宴请了几个人，因为他特地想和这些人谈谈，听听他们的意见。 It may seem somewhat odd to get water from fire, but we shall find that water is a common by-product of any fire in which hydrogen takes part. 从火中取水，这听起来似乎有些离奇，但我们发现，水乃是火的一种常见的副产品，只要有氢参与燃烧的话。 Computers, which have many advantages, cannot carry out creative work nor replace man. 尽管电脑有很多优点，但它们不能进行创造性的工作，也代替不了人。 七、比较结构的理解与翻译 英语中比较结构运用频繁，常常表示类比、取舍、肯定或否定等多种意义。故而在理解与表达时不能简单地视其为比较概念，而应根据具体情况作灵活处理。 Whether you die at a young age or when you are older is less important than whether you have fully lived the years you have had. 人的一生不在于你能活多久，更重要的是你是否活得很充实。 The conveniences that Americans desire reflect not so much a leisurely lifestyle as busy lifestyle in which even minutes of time is too valuable to be wasted. 美国人所需要的各种方便之物与其说反映了一种从容不迫的生活方式，还不如说反映了一种忙碌的生活方式，在这种忙碌的生活中甚至几分钟的时间都得珍惜。 I find this rather chilling, less because of what
