The basic reaso
3、n is that speculation can perform useful functions in the market equilibrium and encourages faster entry of more suppliers. If the price change lagged until after an actual commodity shortage had occurred, the fluctuation would probably be sharper and more sudden. Remedial supply action could not be
4、 further delayed. Similarly, if speculators foresee a surplus in some commodity, their selling of futures will help drive the price down to some extent before the surplus actually occurs. When speculators foresee a shortage and bid up the price, they are also helping to conserve the present supply.
5、As the price goes up, less of the commodity is purchased; a rise in price encourages users to economize. Similarly, a lowering of price encourages users to buy more, thus helping to sell the surplus which is developing. The Renaissance embraced, first of all, an impressive record of new achievements
6、 in art, literature, science, philosophy, education and religion. Although the foundation of many of these was classical, they soon expanded beyond the measure of Greek and Roman influence. Indeed, many of the achievements in painting, science, politics and religion bore little relation to the class
7、ical heritage. Secondly, the Renaissance incorporated a number of dominant ideas and attitudes that gave it the impress of a unique society. Notable among these in general were optimism, and individualism; but the most significant of them all was humanism. In its broadest meaning humanism may be def

The humanists rejected the Scholastic philosophy with its preoccupation with theology and logic. They strove for
9、a smooth and elegant style that would appeal more to the aesthetic than to the rational side of mans nature.翻译的步骤：一、画竖线 目的：初步断开句子结构，化繁为简 原则： 1、拆出主句，分清从句； 2、拆出主干，分清修饰； 最佳方式：找断句点 （1）连词；（2）引导词；（3）介词；（4）分词；（5）to；（6）标点符号；（79）We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate our
10、selves, great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial to the future progress of the race.二、写汉字：以每一小节作为单位来写汉字 目的：初步了解每一个小结构的意思；（79）We accept and welcome, therefor
11、e, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial to the future progress of the race.三、连汉字 目的：把每一小节连接成为通顺的句子
12、；需要适当地调整顺序，或者把一些不通顺的词语替换掉。 调整顺序的本源是英语的结构和修饰关系。 替换汉语词语的本源是依据英语的基本词义和上下文的意译。（79）We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few; and the law of compe
13、tition between these, as being not only beneficial to the future progress of the race.因此，我们接受和欢迎环境的巨大不平等；生意、工业和商业集中在少数人手中和少数人之间的竞争法则，这作为我们自己必须适应的条件，因为这不仅仅对人类今后的进步有益。因此，我们接受和欢迎环境的巨大不平等；工商贸集中在少数人手中以及少数人之间的竞争法则，这作为我们自己必须适应的条件，因为这不仅仅对人类今后的进步有益。（最终）3There are many facts in a given historical period that
14、can be easily stuffed into our mind. but discernment in the selection of significant facts is a vastly more difficult thing and depends upon ones point of view.我们的大脑很容易记住许多特定历史时期的事实，但是选择和鉴别重大事实却是更为艰难的事情并且取决于我们自己的观点。英汉翻译技巧一、 词意选择，适当引申（1）分析词根和词缀来翻译（2）分析词性来翻译（3）分析上下文来翻译（4）结合汉语习惯和固定搭配来翻译二、 适当增加翻译成汉语后，在不
15、改变英语意思的前提下，适当增加词语，使句子更通顺。三、 适当减少四、 适当重复可以适当重复出原文省略的部分，或者把并列结构中的相同部分重复出来。We dont retreat , we never have and never will.我们不会退却，我们从来没有后退过，今后也决不会退却。五、 词性转换把英语的词性变换成汉语的其他词性来翻译。六、 四字成语练习Passage 371The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that the No1 health pr
16、oblem in the UStoday, even more than AIDS or cancer, is that Americans dont know how to think about health and illness.在医学院担任十二年教师，我所得到的主要印象是：当今美国的首要健康问题甚至比艾滋和癌症更为严重的是美国人不知该怎样对待健康和疾病。考博翻译的标准1、准确2、通顺准确是前提，其次求通顺，另外检查译文的方式是多读译文。定语从句前置的翻译1、定语从句前置即把定语从句翻译到它修饰的先行词的前面，并习惯用“的”来连接。Passage 372We fear the wors

18、我们美国正逐渐成为一个弱者和疑病症患者的民族，一个自我诊断的社会，而不能对轻微的日常症状和那些需要专业护理的症状加以区分。Passage 101Genuine love is more likely to involve a process of “growing” in love rather than “falling” in love. This may sound terribly unromantic to some who are used to hearing talk about “falling in love” or being “head over heels in lo
19、ve.”真爱更可能是一个萌生爱意的过程，而并非是坠入爱河。对于那些听惯了一见钟情，爱得神魂颠倒的人来说，这或许太不浪漫了。Passage 142. In reality, the way one experiences old age is contingent upon circumstances of late-life events（in what order they occur, how they occur, when they occur）and the social supports one receives: adequate finances, shelter, medic
20、al care, social roles, religious support, recreation.事实上，一个人老年的经历如何，取决于晚年事件发生的环境和一个人所获得的社会支持：前者包括这些事件发生的先后顺序，怎样发生的，和何时发生的，后者包括足够的财力、住宿条件、医疗保障、社会地位、宗教支持、娱乐活动。Passage 152. It is primarily a term for the socially elaborated segment of human behavior in any culture; and abnormality, is a term for the se
21、gment that particular civilization does not use.正常术语主要是用来指在任何文化中，社会所解释的那部分人类行为，而变态术语主要是用来指特定文化所不能接受的那部分人类行为。代词指代1、直接对应2、指代明确3、用“这”等替代Passage 153. Its variability among different people is essentially a function of the variability of the behavior patterns that different societies have created for the
22、mselves, and can never be wholly divorced from a consideration of culturally institutionalized types of behavior.不同人之间正常行为的可变性主要是由不同社会为其自己所设立的行为模式的可变性所决定的，并且绝对不能完全脱离了文化的制度化的行为模式来加以考虑。如果定语从句结构简单，信息负载量不大，翻译时前置。定语从句后置的翻译如果定语从句太复杂或里面包含的内容太多时，需要后置。1Contemporary technological reporting is full of notions

The machine is working none the worse. might as well小结： 如果定语从句结构复杂，信息负载量比较大，翻译到先行词前面不通顺的话需要后置。这时可以和主句脱离单独成句，但常常需要重复先行词或者用代词重复。状语从句的翻译状语从句的翻译方法 英语中的状语从句可以直接翻译，但一般要把时间、条件、让步和原因状语从句翻译到主句之前。3Infatuation often entails feelings of insecurity whenever the lovers are separated; feeli

Most sentences contain a subject and a verb.一个句子就是一组词，在书面语中，每一个句子首词的第一个字母大写，句末用句号、问号或者感叹号；大多数句子有主语和谓语。结论1 英语的句子中，大多数句子都有主语和谓语。那么汉英翻译，只要我们能把汉语转变成为准确通顺的英语，就需要搭建英语的主语和谓语等句式结构。 除了主语和谓语之外，当然还有修饰语。 所以，定主语
