求十五种翻译技巧 汉语讲解

Answer 1

3.

division
Sometimes, an English sentence with a restrictive attributive clause is too
long or too complicated for the translator to take as a single sentence. In
this
case,
we
may
divide
it
into
two
or
several
parts,
placing
the
attributive
clause
after
the
principle
clause
to
conform
to
the
Chinese
usage, repeating the antecedent being modified.
Eg:
They
are
striving
for
the
ideal
which
is
close
to
the
heart
of
every
Chinese and for which , in the past, many Chinese have laid down their
lives
。

这个理想是每个中国人所珍爱的，
在过去，许多中国人为了这个理想而牺牲了自己的生命。
