(2) On her once familiar street, as in any unused channel, an unfamiliar queerness had silted up; a cat wove itself in and out of railings, but no human eye watched Mrs Drover's return.

走在一度熟悉的大街上，就像在一條沒有人走過的道路上一樣，她心里充滿了從未有過的新奇。一只貓在欄桿那兒繞來繞去，但是沒有人留意特羅弗太太回來。（在； 處切分）

(3(世博北京翻譯公司)) The entire cable-car system recently got an overhaul after more than a century of operations, so you are on firm ground even if the streets seem to be tilting beneath you.

在運行了一個世紀之后，最近對整個纜車系統(tǒng)進行了徹底檢修。所以即使你覺得街道似乎在下面傾斜，你在纜車上仍很安全。（在連詞so處切分）

(4) The recruitment of Chinese labor was not universally accepted in racially conscious 1(世博英文翻譯公司)9th century America and some white workers were unsettled by their appearance in large numbers.

在種族意識十分強的1(世博英文翻譯公司)9世紀的美國，招募中國勞工的做法并非普遍為人接受。由于工地上大批出現(xiàn)中國勞工，某些白人工人感到心緒不寧。（在連詞and處切分）

C. 主從復合句的分譯

英語復合句漢譯時常在分句連接處加以切分，分譯成兩個或兩個以上的句子。例如：

(1(世博英文翻譯公司)) One day, while out on the bleak moors, Pip is startled by a hulking, menacing man who threatens him if he does not bring him some food immediately.

匹普外出在陰冷的荒原上游蕩時，一個魁梧、兇狠的男子把他嚇了一跳。這個男子威脅他，讓他立即為他送些食物來。（在who引導的從句前切分）

(2) All this had come to an end in 1(世博英文翻譯公司)905 when the medical mission was dissolved and several of Mother's colleagues were killed in the uprising.

1(世博英文翻譯公司)905年，這一切都宣布結(jié)束了。在一次暴動中，媽媽的幾個同事犧牲了，醫(yī)療隊也解散了。 （when處切分）

D. 其他情況的分譯

有些長句的翻譯得根據(jù)具體情況、意群的分布等進行靈活處理，合理進行切分，使譯文層次分明，觀點明確。例如：

(1(世博英文翻譯公司)) Suddenly the door bursts open and the Time Traveler appears, dirty, disheveled, and bedraggled, with a nasty cut on his chin.

突然，門猛然開了，時間旅行家出現(xiàn)。他十分骯臟，衣冠不整，滿身是泥，下巴頦被嚴重劃傷。（在appear后切分）

(2) The boy and the woman were already seated by spread table-cloth when the man came down to them, dressed in his business suit and vest and tie and hat as if he expected to meet someone along the way.

等到男人走過來時，女人和孩子早已挨著地上鋪開的桌布邊坐好了。男人身穿上班的套裝和背心，系著領帶，戴著帽子，似乎估計路上會遇到什么人似的。（分詞短語前切分）

(3(世博北京翻譯公司))在元朝時期，杭州成為東南重鎮(zhèn)，經(jīng)濟繁榮，風景優(yōu)美，被意大利旅行家馬可?波羅贊嘆為“世界上最美麗華貴的天城”。

During the yuan dynasty, hangzhou was established as a town of strategic importance in southest china, with a flourishing economy and beautiful scenery, being, in the words of the Italian traveler Marco polo, the “most beautiful and luxurious city in the world.”

二、合并

一般說來，英語句子要比漢語句子長，英譯漢時切分用得較多；但是較口語化的英語句子也比較短，英譯漢時有時也得用合并。漢譯英時，漢語的幾個句子可合并成一個英語句子。有時漢語詞組不一定很長，但相應得英語詞組會顯得很長，這時也可有意識地將長詞組緊縮為短詞組。英譯漢的合并常用于以下二種情況：

（一） 簡單句與簡單句的合并

把原文中的兩個或兩個以上的簡單句合并成一個句子。例如：

(1(世博英文翻譯公司)) She is intelligent, ambitious and hard-working. She is also good at solving problems.

她很有才智、雄心勃勃、工作努力，還善于解決問題。（兩句合一）

(2) The door was unlocked. She went inside and sat in a stupor. She was near collapse, barely able to move her swollen feet.

門沒鎖上，她走了進去，呆呆地坐了下來，極度的衰弱幾乎使她無力挪動她那紅腫的雙腳。（三句合一）

(3(世博北京翻譯公司)) I pulled up a chair and sat down. I sat with my legs wide apart at first. But this struck me as being irreverent and too familiar. So I put my knees together and let my hands rest loosely on them. 翻譯公司 (責任編輯：世博翻譯公司)
