句子转换在翻译科技英语定语从句时的作用

本文从两个方面论述了句子转换在翻译英语定语从句时的作用。一是在翻译过长的限定性从旬时，将定语从旬转换为谓语部分或转换成汉语复句的分句，从而使译文符合汉语习惯并便于读者理解；二是将这样一类英语限定性或非限定性定语从句——它们所含说明主句的条件、原因、让步、总结、目的、转折等情况意义——转换为汉语偏正复句中的分旬，从而更明确、完整地表达原文的意义。

Application of Conversion in Technical Translating

This thesis discusses the application of conversion from two aspects in translating adjective clauses from English into Chinese. First, convert long restrictive clause to predicate or a clause of a multiple sentence in Chinese so as to match with Chinese language habits; Second, convert the English restrictive and non-restrictive clauses into the clause of Chinese multiple sentence to express completely the meaning of the original text.
