英汉思维的差异
n n n n n n n n n
抽象思维与形象思维 直线思维与曲线思维 复杂与简约 主体突出与主客体交错 树状与竹状 替代与重复 形合与意合 静态与动态 主语与主题是树状结构,主干如树干, 各种成分一个一个挂靠上去,枝繁叶 茂; 而汉语句子是竹状结构,按时间或逻 辑顺序,层层铺开,一节节连下去。 因此,翻译时要注意树状与竹状结构 间的转化.

形合与意合
n
英语句子中各成分的相互结合多 用适当的连接词语,而中文句子 则多依靠语义的贯通,语境的映 衬,少用连接词。即英文重形合, 中文重意和。所以,在翻译中, 要注意增减连接词。

替代与重复
n
这是英语和汉语的一个重要差异: 英语重替代(即多用代词,包括 人称代词、指示代词、不定代词 和关系代词,还有表示替代的词 so, do);汉语重重复,重复现 象比比皆是。
