(2) On her once familiar street, as in any unused channel, an unfamiliar queerness had silted up; a cat wove itself in and out of railings, but no human eye watched Mrs Drover's return.

走在一度熟悉的大街上，就像在一条没有人走过的道路上一样，她心里充满了从未有过的新奇。一只猫在栏杆那儿绕来绕去，但是没有人留意特罗弗太太回来。（在； 处切分）

(3(世博北京翻译公司)) The entire cable-car system recently got an overhaul after more than a century of operations, so you are on firm ground even if the streets seem to be tilting beneath you.

在运行了一个世纪之后，最近对整个缆车系统进行了彻底检修。所以即使你觉得街道似乎在下面倾斜，你在缆车上仍很安全。（在连词so处切分）

(4) The recruitment of Chinese labor was not universally accepted in racially conscious 1(世博英文翻译公司)9th century America and some white workers were unsettled by their appearance in large numbers.

在种族意识十分强的1(世博英文翻译公司)9世纪的美国，招募中国劳工的做法并非普遍为人接受。由于工地上大批出现中国劳工，某些白人工人感到心绪不宁。（在连词and处切分）

C. 主从复合句的分译

英语复合句汉译时常在分句连接处加以切分，分译成两个或两个以上的句子。例如：

(1(世博英文翻译公司)) One day, while out on the bleak moors, Pip is startled by a hulking, menacing man who threatens him if he does not bring him some food immediately.

匹普外出在阴冷的荒原上游荡时，一个魁梧、凶狠的男子把他吓了一跳。这个男子威胁他，让他立即为他送些食物来。（在who引导的从句前切分）

(2) All this had come to an end in 1(世博英文翻译公司)905 when the medical mission was dissolved and several of Mother's colleagues were killed in the uprising.

1(世博英文翻译公司)905年，这一切都宣布结束了。在一次暴动中，妈妈的几个同事牺牲了，医疗队也解散了。 （when处切分）

D. 其他情况的分译

有些长句的翻译得根据具体情况、意群的分布等进行灵活处理，合理进行切分，使译文层次分明，观点明确。例如：

(1(世博英文翻译公司)) Suddenly the door bursts open and the Time Traveler appears, dirty, disheveled, and bedraggled, with a nasty cut on his chin.

突然，门猛然开了，时间旅行家出现。他十分肮脏，衣冠不整，满身是泥，下巴颏被严重划伤。（在appear后切分）

(2) The boy and the woman were already seated by spread table-cloth when the man came down to them, dressed in his business suit and vest and tie and hat as if he expected to meet someone along the way.

等到男人走过来时，女人和孩子早已挨着地上铺开的桌布边坐好了。男人身穿上班的套装和背心，系着领带，戴着帽子，似乎估计路上会遇到什么人似的。（分词短语前切分）

(3(世博北京翻译公司))在元朝时期，杭州成为东南重镇，经济繁荣，风景优美，被意大利旅行家马可?波罗赞叹为“世界上最美丽华贵的天城”。

During the yuan dynasty, hangzhou was established as a town of strategic importance in southest china, with a flourishing economy and beautiful scenery, being, in the words of the Italian traveler Marco polo, the “most beautiful and luxurious city in the world.”

二、合并

一般说来，英语句子要比汉语句子长，英译汉时切分用得较多；但是较口语化的英语句子也比较短，英译汉时有时也得用合并。汉译英时，汉语的几个句子可合并成一个英语句子。有时汉语词组不一定很长，但相应得英语词组会显得很长，这时也可有意识地将长词组紧缩为短词组。英译汉的合并常用于以下二种情况：

（一） 简单句与简单句的合并

把原文中的两个或两个以上的简单句合并成一个句子。例如：

(1(世博英文翻译公司)) She is intelligent, ambitious and hard-working. She is also good at solving problems.

她很有才智、雄心勃勃、工作努力，还善于解决问题。（两句合一）

(2) The door was unlocked. She went inside and sat in a stupor. She was near collapse, barely able to move her swollen feet.

门没锁上，她走了进去，呆呆地坐了下来，极度的衰弱几乎使她无力挪动她那红肿的双脚。（三句合一）

(3(世博北京翻译公司)) I pulled up a chair and sat down. I sat with my legs wide apart at first. But this struck me as being irreverent and too familiar. So I put my knees together and let my hands rest loosely on them. 翻译公司 (责任编辑：世博翻译公司)
