   英语和汉语在否定的表达形式上存在着许多差异,我国学生往往会以中国人的思维方式和习惯用法去套英语,这样在汉译英时难免会出现一些错误。


  部分常见的错误举例如下:
  1、未经允许,任何人不得入内。
  误:Anybody can not come in without permission.
  正:Nobody can come in without permission.
  “任何……不”是汉语中常用的否定句式,而在英语中与any构成的合成词或被any修饰的词语作主语时,谓语动词不能用否定式,因此any …… not的表达形式不符合英语的习惯。翻译这类句子时须用“否定形式的主语+肯定形式的谓语”。但当any的合成词或any所修饰的词带有后置定语时,谓语可以用否定式,如: 干那种事的人都是不诚实的。 Anyone who does that isn't honest.
  2、听到这个消息后,没有一个人不感到兴奋。
  误:Having heard the news, nobody did not feel excited.
  正:Having heard the news, everybody felt excited.
  汉语中常用“没有+主语+不+谓语”这一双重否定的结构,而英语中否定形式的主语习惯上不能与否定形式的谓语连用。因此nobody…… not的结构不符合英语的表达习惯。翻译这类句子时,(1)可把主语和谓语都改成肯定形式;(2)也可用另一结构的双重否定式:therebe +否定的主语 + 否定形式的定语从句,如:
  There was nobody who did not feel excited.
  或:There was nobody but felt excited.
  3、这两本书都不是英国出版的。
  误:Both of the books are not published in England.
  正:Neither of the books is published in England.
  我不同意所有这些方案。
  误:I don't agree to all these projects.
  正:I agree to none of these projects.
  或:I don't agree to any of these projects.
  英语中的概括词all, every, both, 以及与every 构成的合成词,用语否定句式时,只表示部分否定,常译成“并非……都”,因此两个错误译句的含义分别为:并非两本书都是英国出版的,并非所有这些方案我都同意。要表达全部否定意义时,英语须用全否定词语,如none,neither,no, nobody, nothing, not …… any, not …… either等。
  4、这台车床不能再用了,那台也一样。
  误:This lathe 1 can not be used any longer, and that one can't, too.
  正:This lathe can not be used any longer, and that one cna't either.
  或:This lathe can not be used any longer, neither (nor) can that one.
  否定句中的“也”不能译成too,而须用either,或用neither(nor)的倒装句型。
  5、你不必为你的军衔和薪金担心。
  误:You won't have to worry about rank and pay.
  正:You won't have to worry about rank or pay.
  在肯定句中用and来连接两个并列成分,表示“和”,但在否定句中and应改为or, 这时否定词对or的前后部分同时加以否定。

n.车床,陶器,镟床
  • Gradually she learned to operate a lathe.她慢慢地学会了开车床。
  • That lathe went out of order at times.那台车床有时发生故障。
