在進(jìn)行英語翻譯的過程中，對(duì)于英語以及其它語言的歷史文化背景要有全面的了解，對(duì)同一時(shí)期下不同閱讀人群的讀寫習(xí)慣也要有一定的了解。
一、 句子成分問題
1. 中文句子無主語：

Students should be encouragedto choose their careersaccording to their strong points.(被動(dòng)語態(tài))
2. 中文是動(dòng)詞或形容詞，在英文中是名詞位置
【對(duì)策】動(dòng)名詞/不定式;改換詞性(相應(yīng)名詞);名詞從句;it形式主語句型

我不需要買新車, 我的那輛舊車還很好。(condition)

二、 主賓位置問題
4. 容易誤用的及物動(dòng)詞：exist，happen，occur，take place, result(from)，belong to，go wrong,lie in

Something has gone wrong withthis machine. (添加主語something)或
There is something wrong with thismachine. (使用there句型)
你的觀點(diǎn)存在很多問題。(exist)
Many problems still exist in youropinion. (中文主語是“觀點(diǎn)”，英文為“問題”)
5. 為所形容詞(為……所……to)：familiar;peculiar;accessible;available;well-known; exposed; ：
【對(duì)策】英語句子主賓和中文主賓相反(正確使用短語和介詞)

6. 容易忽視的使役動(dòng)詞：qualify，dissatisfy;consume;cost：
【對(duì)策】用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，或“動(dòng)詞+oneself+介詞/不定式等”;(注意這類動(dòng)詞中的“使給將把讓令”)
數(shù)百人在這次地震中喪生。(consume)

三、 標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)問題
7. 逗號(hào)的處理：

四、 語言單位問題
9. 詞組層面的靈活處理：名詞修飾語過多

這個(gè)大橋何時(shí)通車仍未可知。(accessible/open/cross)
