浅谈英语定语的汉译技巧摘要一般来说，一个句子主要由主语和谓语两大部分所组成，定语在句子中不是主要部分。但作为名词词组中心语的修饰语，定语在准确理解句子的意义上确实起着非常重要的作用。英汉两种语言中的定语同世界上大多数其他语言一样，虽然有许多共同之处，但也确实又各有其独特之处。在翻译的实践中，很多人常常苦于那些较长的定语，特别是比较复杂的定语从句和多项定语的顺序排列，觉得无从下手，有时甚至完全脱离了原句的意义，违背了翻译工作中“信为第一”的基本原则。因此对英汉定语进行一些对比以及讨论一些翻译技巧是很有必要的。前置定语以及后置定语翻译时侧重点不同；定语从句是英语定语的一大特色，翻译时必须符合汉语的表达习惯。在此从定语的多种形式和用法方面出发，进行探讨，从而归纳出一些定语翻译的技巧。关键词：定语；中心语；翻译 AbstractGenerally speaking, a sentence can be divided into two main parts: subject and predicate.

What’s worse, sometimes the translation is totally different from the meaning of the original text, thus breaks the basic translation principle --- “faithfulness comes first”. So it is essential to make contrasts between Chinese and English attributes and discuss their translation skills. Pre-attributes and post-attributes emphasize different aspects in the translation. The attributive clause is one of the main features in English; its translation should conform to the idiomatic Chinese expression....
