Audio (1) Audio (2) 口译技巧1：拆句法、合并法 口译是一项综合的思维活动，译员需根据实际情况灵活运用不同的口译方法和技巧。拆句法是把一个长而复杂的句子拆译成若干个较短 较简单的句子，通常用于英译汉；合并法是把若干个短句合并成一个长句，可用于汉译英。 汉语强调意合，结构较松散，因此简单句较多；英语强调形合，结构较严密，因此长句较多。所以英译汉时，我们常常需要在原句的关系代词、关系副词、主谓连接处、并列或转折连接处、后续成分与主体的连接处，以及意群结束处将长句切断，译成汉语分句；而在汉译英时要根据需要注意利用连词、分词、介词、不定式、定语从句、独立结构等把汉语短句连成长句，这样就可以基本保留英语语序，顺译全句，顺应现代汉语长短句相替、单复句相间的句法修辞原则 1 2 口译技巧1：拆句法、合并法 I wish to thank you for the incomparable hospitality for which the Chinese people are just famous throughout the world. 我要感谢你们无与伦比的盛情款待。中国人民正是以这种热情好客而闻明世界/全球/于世。（在定语从句前拆译） Developing countries are justifiably satisfied with their economic achievements. 发展中国家为他们在经济上取得的成绩而自豪，这是合乎情理的。（副词拆分） Increased cooperation with China is in the interests of the United States. 同中国加强合作，符合美国的利益。 （在主谓连接处拆译） 口译技巧1：拆句法、合并法 C 国是个大国，百分之八十的人口从事农业，但耕地只占土地面积的十分之一，其余为山脉、森林、城镇和其他用地。 C is a large country with four-fifths of the population engaged in agriculture, but only one tenth of the land is farmland, the rest being mountains, forests, and places for urban and other uses.（合译） 口译技巧1：拆句法、合并法 要解决问题，彻底而系统地解决问题，我们要合作。 Solving the problem thoroughly and systematically requires our cooperation. （合译） Listen to the following four English audios on ceremonial speeches of different occasions.
