考研阅读逐句译2000年第4篇6
(2014-05-22 16:01:34)唐静 考研阅读逐句译2000年第4篇第6句 In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than did their counterparts in the 10 other countries surveyed.
单词:
counterpart //n. 相对应的具有相同功能的人或物。
结构:
In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs (主句)//than did their counterparts in the 10 other countries surveyed(than引导的比较状语从句).
译文:
此外,与接受调查的其他10个国家的工人相比,日本工人对自身工作表示不满的要多得多。
翻译思路:比较中的倒装
在这个句子中,有一个倒装,出现在than后面,助动词did到撞到主语their counterparts前面了。英语中的语法规则是,在复合句中,由than或as引导的分句,如果谓语动词省略或表语省略,且是两个句子的主语相比较时,要用倒装,助动词放在主语前。再看例句:John will give you more than will Jack . 约翰给你的将比杰克多。He is as responsible a man as are you . 他像你 一样地负责任。He travelled a great deal as did most o f his friends. 他到过很多地方旅行, 他的多数 朋友也是这样。前一篇:考研阅读逐句译2000年第4篇5
