? 二、判斷反映的思想自相矛盾 ? 例如: ? True eccentrics never deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves. They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary. This invariably wins them love and respect of others… ? 三、判斷不嚴密 如果一個判斷有明顯的不嚴密之處,那么這往往是由于譯者誤解原文所致,請看下面的句子及其譯文。蘇聯(lián)語言學家巴爾胡達羅夫曾舉過這樣一個例子:John is in the pen ,任何人也不會把句中的 pen譯為筆,而只能譯為 “ 牲口圈 ” ,因為 “ 人在鋼筆里 ” 是不合事理的。有的長句多達七八個詞,以下即是一例。 In this factory the only fuel available is coal. In radiation, thermal energy is transformed into radiant energy ,similar in nature to light. ? 副詞 ?

(一 )大量使用名詞化結構 ? 《 當代英語語法 》 ( A Grammar of Contemporary)在論述科技英語時提出,大量使用名詞化結構( Nominalization)是科技英語的特點之一。 ? 例文四 : ? The range of a voltmeter may be extended by means of a series resistor called a multiplier as shown in fullscale reading of the meter alone may be the multiplier 250volts may be required to move the pointer to fullscale, 135 volts across the multiplier and 15volts across the meter. ? 從上述的一段科技文章,不難看出其文體與修辭手段與前面列舉的文藝小說,新聞報道等迥然不同。 ? 例文二: ?
