第六节 介词的翻译
一、介词转译成动词

2.英语介词与汉语动词之间的转换有三类:
(1)表语性介词短语

(3)补语性介词短语
(1) 表语性介词短语
每个介词都有一批可作表语用的短语,都可以转换成
汉语动词。
以at为例:



to be at anchor 抛下锚 to be at a pinch极有必要
to be at leisure闲着,有空 to be at work上班、工作
to be at the cinema看电影to be at this rate照这样下

作业:

broad square, and then entered a huge building.
4) We drove home a bit after midnight, over the

morning mail.
二紧扣介词词义,添加语义补足词

关于他的情况, 我听到的不多。
2) I could hear her voice distinctly amidst the din of the
crowds.
尽管人群拥挤, 我还是能在一片嘈杂声中清楚地听到她

8) These men are really something. They get in with you
before they can cash in on your innocence.

从中获利。
三.运用反说法,将介词短语译成否定式
1.正说反说的变换是翻译中变通说法以利行文的重 要手段。
英语中除了一些具有明显的反说词义的介词(如without,
despite, except,
notwithstanding等)外,很多介词都有反说式。如:
above price 无价的 above such actions无须采取这
样的行动
after a while不久 against any compromise不赞成作
任何妥协
go athwart one’s purpose与„目的不同 before long不



barring those items不包括以上项目 behind the times
不合时宜
below sea level 不及海平面 beneath attention不值得注意
beyond compare 无法相比 by the year’s end不迟于
年底
inside of a week 不到一周 near navy blue与海军蓝差
不多
off duty不当班 out of sight看不见
outside the law不包括在法律范围内 well over fifty还不
止50
past bearing忍受不了 under fifty不到50
within ten miles不到10英里
at variance with与„不一致 beyond the reach of为„力所
不及
in default of由于没有„ in defiance of 无视、不顾
independent of 不依靠、不以„为转移 in disregard of不

in spite of不顾 in (the ) face of不顾、面对
irrespective of 不顾 out of keeping with与„不协

out of proportion to (with )与„不相称 without regard
to不考虑



2.在英译汉中将介词译成正说式或反说式取决于:(1)是否
能准 确达意,(2)是否符合汉语传统的表达习惯。
(1)表示否定假设、否定条件(“如果不是”、“要 不是”、“若
非”、“若无”、“无非”)时
(a) But for your efficiency, our timely communication
should have been impossible.
若无贵方之高效率工作,敝公司必不可能得到及时的通
知。
(b) Without health, happiness is impossible.
没有健康,就没有快乐。
(c) He never gets angry unless when his patience gets frayed.
他从不生气,除非到了忍无可忍的地步。
(e)But for the rain we should have had a pleasant journey.
要不是下雨,我们那次旅行就惬意了。

(2)在现代汉语中,“除„外”有两种, 一种“除此以外还有„”
(计算在内,如:besides, in addition to, as well as ),
还有一种“除„没有以外,其他都有”(计算在外,
如:but, except, except for, barring, save, saving)。
翻译时必须注意,后者宜反说,以免引起词义含混。
(a)He is a very promising lawyer besides being good at
language.



他不只是长于语文, 而且是一个很有发展前途的律师。
(b) It’s anything but bad.
这根本不是什么坏事。

(d) She is on the whole generous and friendly except that she
is a bit frippery from time to time.
整个说来她这个人还是大方友善的,只不过有时有点俗
气。

(3)按汉语表达习惯,超过某种限度或提出建议、规
定、办法以防止越出某种限度或出现某种情况时, 多
用否定式。
(a) The team has been trained off against all
chances.
由于训练过度,体力不支,该队没有任何取胜的希望
了。
(b) No one will survive the shake-up except those
who are obviously above suspicion.
除了那些实在不可能涉嫌者外,没有人能幸免于这
次整顿了。
(c) I’ve asked you again and again to go it alone



against any involvement in those messy cases.
(d)
我反复跟你说过自己干自己的,千万不要与那些混乱
的案子有任何瓜葛。

四、运用比较句式,即使用汉语介词“比、较、比较”
现代英语中表达“比较”概念的介词有than, after,
before, to, like, with, under, beneath, below, above,
beyond, over, against to, behind, of, by comparison,
beyond comparison with, in comparison with, in
contrast with, in contrast to等。
1. Are you suggesting that his paper is just above the
middling? Well I think it’s rather above his normal
work.

我认为他这一次比平时写得好多了。
2. Mrs. Black couldn’t stand any one before her son’s
superiority.

books of Dickens than of perhaps any other British
writer.

集。

hand of all the other Japanese incorporations in
competition.

including those from Europe.
