译文赏析 (2006 年全国英语考研翻译试题 ): 1 ） I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic( 苏格拉底 ) way about moral problems. 2 ） His function is analogous to that of a judge, who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a matter as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision. 3 ） I have excluded him because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems. 4 ） But his primary task is not to think about the moral code, which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business. 5 ） They may teach very well and more than earn their salaries, but most of them make little or no independent reflections on human problems ， which involve moral judgment.
英语定语成分与汉语定语成分差异： 1.从位置上看，汉语中定语一般前置，且不宜过长， 汉语习惯用短词，短句；英语中的除单词外的定语 一般后置，长而复杂。 2.从功能上看，汉语的定语只对中心词起修饰和限 定作用，而英语的定语成分除起修饰和限定作用之 外，还含有补充，交代细节，分层叙述，以及表示 条件，原因，目的，结果，让步，转折或假设等关 系。

第十一章 定语从句的翻译
定语从句是汉语中没有，英语中广泛使用的从句之一。 英国语法家罗伯特.瓦伦丁（Robert Balentine）: “Attributives are to a sentence what feather are to a peacock. As fine feathers make a fine bird, so graceful attributes make a graceful sentence.” “定语之于句子，犹如羽毛之于孔雀。只有漂亮的羽毛 才能装饰成美丽的孔雀；同样，优雅的定语才能修饰 出美妙的句子。”
