一、数词组成的常用短语

这类短语大多是由数词和介词搭配而成,或是数词和其他词类搭配而成,常用来表示不确定的范围和概念,有时也可表示事物所处的状态或其他情况。例如:

by hundreds 数以百计

by thousands 数以千计;大量

by(the) millions 数以百万计

by halves 不完全

hundreds of 数百;数以百计

thousands of 数千;数以千计

hundreds of thousands of 几十万;无数的

thousands upon thousands 万千上万

millions upon millions of 千百万

tens of, decades of 数十个

dozens of 几打;几十个

scores of 许多,大量

billions of 几十亿

hundreds of millions 亿万

a thousand and one 无数的

a hundred and one 许多

nine cases out of ten 十之八九

nine tenths 十之八九;几乎全部

tens of thousands 好几万

several millions of 数百万

fifty-fifty 各半的;对半的;平均

a score of 二十,20

a dozen of 一打,12个

Thousands of people attended the meeting. 数千人参加了会议。

Ten to one she has forgotten it.

十有八九她把这件事给忘了。

二、需要换算数词的翻译

由于英语数字的表达与汉语数字的表达方式不同,汉译时需要换算。数字的换算看起来似乎很简单,但翻译工作者往往会因为不小心而犯错误,可谓失之毫厘、廖之千里。例如:

ten thousand(10个千)一万

one hundred thousand(100个千)十万

ten million(10个百万)千万

one hundred million(100个百万)亿

one billion十亿(美式英语)

ten billion(10个十亿)百亿

one hundred billion(100个十亿)千亿

one trillion 万亿

三、概数的译法

概数是用来表示简略、大概情况的数字。英语和汉语中都有使用概数来表示不确定的范围或概念的语言现象。例如汉语中的几个、十来个、若干、大约、大概、左右、上下、约有、不到、多于、少于等概念,在英语中都能找到与之对等的词。

(一)表示“大约”、“不确定”的翻译策略

在英语中,一般常使用about, some, around, round, nearly, towards, somewhere about, estimated, approximately, in/of/on the border of, close to等词修饰数字,表示“不确定”、“大约”、“上下”、“将近”、“几乎”等。

It is nearly (or towards) 4 o’clock.

现在已是将近4点了。

The price of this new machine is in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars.

这台新机器的价格约1,000美元。

According to the weatherman, the temperature will be up 5℃or so.

据天气预报,气温将升高5℃左右。

(二)表示“高于”、“多于”的翻译方法

英语常用more than, odd, over, above, long, past, or more, upwards of , higher than, exceed, in excess of 等词修饰数字,表示“超过”、“以上”、“有余”、“高于”、“多于”等。

The weight of this child is said to be over one hundred pounds.

据说,这个孩子的体重有100多磅。

It took me more than two hours to finish the homework.

我花了两个多小时才做完家庭作业。

(三)表示“少于”、“差一些”、“不到”等的翻译方法

英语常用less, less than, below, no more than, under, short of , off, to, within, as few as 等

词修饰数字,表示“少于”、“不到”、“以下”等。

The price of that tricycle is less than one hundred and eighty-five francs.

那辆三轮车的人售价还不到185法郎。

四、倍数的译法

倍数在英语中使用得相当普遍,但在表达方式上,英汉两种语言却大相径庭。例如:to increase 5 times,汉语可译成“增加到5倍”,也可译成“增加了4倍”;to decrease 5 times在汉语中通常不译为“减少5倍”,而译为“减少到1/5”或“减少了4/5”。因此“了”和“到”这类问题很容易使人混淆迷惑。翻译时务必谨慎严密,力争做到准确无误。

(一)倍数增加的译法

英语中表示倍数增加时,常常要把基数包括在内。增加的倍数通常指现在的数量为原来数量的倍数。译成汉语“增加到若干倍”、“为……的若干倍”或“若干倍于……”这种句型时,可将原文中数字照旧译出;若是译成“增加(了)若干倍”这种句型时,通常要把原文中的数字减去一。

1.倍数+as…as

The grain output of this year is about three times as great as that of last year.

今年的粮食产量大约是去年的三倍。(或:今年的粮食产量比去年多两倍左右。)Asia is four times as large as Europe.

亚洲比欧洲大3倍。(或:亚洲是欧洲的4倍大。)

2.倍数+比较级+than

Kuwait oil wells yield nearly 500 times more than U.S. wells.

科威特油井的产油量几乎是美国油井的500倍。

Iron is almost three times heavier than aluminum.

铁的重量几乎是铝的3倍。(或:铁几乎比铝重两倍。)

3.表示增加意义的动词+倍数

常见的表示增加意义的动词有increase, rise, exceed, grow, raise, expand, go up等。The number of the students enrolled in evening classes has increased more than twofold. 注册上晚间课的学生人数增加了一倍多。

The production of various picture tubes has been increased four times as against 1993.

各种显像管的产量比1993年增加了3倍。

4.表示增加意义的词+by a factor of+数词

这种名句译成汉语时,必须把原文中的数字减去一,因为汉语不把基数包括在内。Today the speed of our car exceeds the ordinary speed by a factor of three.

今天,我们的汽车速度超过了平常速度的两倍。

The population of this county has increasedby a factor of five

这个县的人口已经增长了4倍。

5.表示倍数意义的词+宾语(或表语)

英语中表示倍数意义的动词主要有double(变成两倍),treble(变成三倍),quadruple (变成四倍)等。这些词也能当形容词使用。作不及物动词时,后面没有宾语或表语。

The new airport will double the capacity of the existing one.

新机场是现有机场容量的2倍。

The population has nearly trebled in forty years.

人口在40年中增加了近2倍。

The company quadrupled output to around 20 million tons.

该公司把产量增至2,000万吨左右,是原来的4倍。

(二)倍数减少的译法

英语中常使用表示减少意义的词加上数词来说明减少的倍数。减少的倍数通常指原来数量为现在数量的倍数。

1.用表示“减少”的动词(decrease, reduce, fall, lower等)连接“by n 或n%”,表示净减量;用系动词连接“n less(than)”表示净减量,所减数字均可照译。

180 decreased by 90 is 90.

180减去90等于90。

The cost decreased by 40%.

成本下降了40%。

This new process used 35% less fuel.

这种工艺少用了35%的燃料。

2.用表示“减少”的动词(decrease, reduce, fall, lower等)连接“by n times”,“n times”,“n times as + 形容词或副词+as”,“by a factor of n”等,均可译作“减少了n分之(n-1)”或“减少到n分之1”。

因为英汉语言在使用分数方面的差异(如汉语的分母中极少使用小数点),如果英语减少的倍数中有小数点时,则应换算成分数。

The principal advantage is a four fold reduction in volume.

主要优点是体积缩小了3/4。

The error probability of the equipment was reduced by 2.5 times through technical innovation.

通过技术革新该设备误差概率降低3/5。

文言文中译英技巧

“文言文”中译英技巧 看了那么多政府外宣类翻译,想来大家也学会了不少,今天咱们换换风格,来段古文翻译,测试一下自己多大能耐。 翻译原文1 吾辈凡夫,生存在功利社会,终日忙忙碌碌,为柴米油盐所困,酒色财气所惑,既有追求,又有烦恼,若想做到从心所欲,难矣哉! 乍一看,感觉好难,该从哪儿下手呢?有点找不着北的节奏。“柴米油盐”、“酒色财气”这是要翻译出各自对等的事物么?那么该怎么翻译呢?给你两个译文版本,你来选择哪个更牛: 译文一 It is hardly possible, if not impossible, for common folks to follow their mind while living in such a hectic, materialistic world where one struggles to meet subsistence needs while fighting off sensual temptations and deals with a perplexing mix of lofty aspirations and worldly distractions. 译文二 We ordinary people, living in a utilitarian-oriented society, rush about all day long, vexed by daily necessities like fuel, rice, cooking oil and salt, and tempted by cardinal vices such as wine, women, avarice and pride. What an immense difficulty to f ollow our hearts’ desire in the face of conflicts between pursuits and cares. 小编偷偷问一句:你的译文是不是跟第二个有几分相似?两个版本对比一看,很容易就看出哪个更好了。小编我选择第一篇译文。 一起跟小编看一下大神的分析: 1. 该句第一眼看去似乎难以驾驭,但是如果抓到句子的核心信息,做到轻重有别就不难处理了。 认真分析后会发现句子的核心是“吾辈凡夫在这个社会里想要做到从心所欲很难”,前面的信息都是说明功利社会的,属于事实背景部分,一般要放在从句或插入成分中。这样,分清主次后才能开始构思句子的搭建。 2. A. 在行文时,“为......所困”和“为......所惑”这些词属于动词,可以隐去,从写作的高度重新组织行文; B. “柴米油盐”和“酒色财气”属于中文具体词,英译时不能直接对等,需要进行提炼概括;
