逆序法
• 英语有些长句的表达次序与汉语表达习惯不同，甚至完全相反，这时 必须从原文后面开始翻译。在汉语中，定语修饰语和状语修饰语往往 位于被修饰语之前；在英语中，许多修饰语常常位于被修饰语之后， 因此翻译时往往要把原文的语序颠倒过来。

顺序法
• 当英语长句的内容叙述层次与汉语基本一致时，可以按照英语原文表 达的层次顺序翻译成汉语，从而使译文与英语原文的顺序基本一致。 例如：
• But now it is realized that supplies of some of them are limited, and it is even possible to give a reasonable estimate of their "expectation of life", the time it will take to exhaust all known sources and reserves of these materials.

分句法
• 有时英语长句中主语或主句与修饰词的关系并不十分密切，翻译时可 以按照汉语多用短句的习惯，把长句的从句或短语转换成句子，分开 来叙述。为了使语意连贯，有时需要适当增加词语，也就是采取化整 为零的方法将整个英语长句翻译为几个独立的句子，顺序基本不变， 前后保持连贯。
