两组状语从句连词的比较

一、When、while、as连接时间状语从句时的比较这三个连词都可作“当…的时候”解,但它们之间却有一些细微的差别,了解这些差别有助于初学者准确地理解原文,正确地进行翻译。(一)When(at or during the timethat)只表示一般的时间关系,它既可指时间的一点(a point of time)(1),也可指一段时间(a period of time)(2)。用When时,从句的动作可与主句的动作同时发生(1,2),也可先于主句的动作(3),因此When用得最多。例如:1.When the clock struck twelve,all the lights went out.当时钟敲了十二下,灯全都熄了。2.When two bodies are rubbedtogether,heat is produced.当两个物体摩擦时就产生热。

关于“When”意义及其句法功能的研究

When一词在英语语言里十分活跃,使用频率极高。在日常生活中,人们常用when组成问句来询问某一动作或某事件发生的时间,如:“When did you go there?”在书面语里,When一词显得更为活跃,其意义、作用也更广、更多。只要我们稍作统计,就不难发现此词在语言中的活跃程度。以英国小说作家毛姆的小说《人类的枷锁》中的第36章和37章为例,在篇幅仅为14页的两章中,带有when的句子就有31句。而且在不同的句子结构中,when具有着不同的意思。一般地说,when用以指代时间,相当于at what time,(of time)at or on which,at the time,at which等等。但是,在很多情况下,when并不用于指代时间,它具有许多其它的诸如since,seeing that,although,if或considering that等意思。从语法功能方面讲,when可以在句     

《诗经》里“何”字的英译

《诗经》是我国第一部用汉字记录的乐歌总集。它使用的语言,是“雅言”,即当时周王朝统治区通用的经过加工和规范化的文学语言,又叫标准语。它收录的虽是不同时期不同地区的作品,但是表现在语言上却是统一的。《诗经》三百篇,使用了大约三千个单字,有些字一字多（意）义,一字多用。“何”即是其中之一。“何”在《诗经》里多次出现,但意义却不尽相同,可译成不同的英文。它的本意是“肩挑,肩扛”,可译作shoulder,bear.其转义既可译成what,who,也可译成how和where,关键是看“何”字在不同的句子里的具体意义。 一、读作he,后来写作“荷”,表示“肩挑,肩扛”,译成to carry on one’s shoulder（或back）. 例1、原文:何蓑何笠。（曹风·侯人） 译文（1）with a bamboo cloak on the back. and a bamboo hat on the head （2）to be in straw cape and hat. 在译文中,“shoulder”or“bear”,不宜译出,只好用介词短语来表示。
