11.英语有些副词和动词的搭配无法直接译过来，可将原文副词的含义译成谓语或分句，放在句末。

　　So heedful a writer as Henry James, for instance, on occasion wrote so ungrammatically that a schoolmaster, finding such errors in a schoolboy’s essay, would be justly indignant.

　　就拿亨利 詹姆士来说吧，连他这样细心的作家写的东西，有时也不合语法。要是小学老师在学生的作文里发现那样的错误也会生气，而生气是完全应该的。

　　12.英语有些副词放在句首，具有丰富的内容，译成汉语可以适当地加以发挥。

　　Ideally, one day, researchers will know enough about the genesis of earthquakes……

　　最理想的情况是，有朝一日研究人员能够对地震的成因……有足够的了解。

　　13.主语的位置。英语往往把目的状语或其他成分放在句首，然后再出主语，主语与动词靠得较近。汉语则往往先出主语。

　　To protect the whale form the cold of the Arctic seas, nature has provided it with a thick covering of fat called blubber.

　　大自然为了保护鲸鱼，使它不致在北冰洋受冻，便让它长了厚厚的一层脂肪，叫做鲸脂。

　　14.英语的书面语差不多每个句子都要有主语，汉语的主语则不那么重要，如果前面已把主语说清楚，后面的句子不一定用主语。甚至在一个句子里应该出现另外一个主语的时候，这个主语仍然可以省略。

　　They used this kind of scare tactic when I was growing up. I wonder what they use today.

　　我小的时候，他们用过这种吓唬人的办法。现在用什么办法，就不得而知了。（译文第二句，两个主语“他们”和“我”都没有出现。）

　　15.英语有who, which等词,可以引出定语从句，汉语多用并列分句，或单成一句，有时可把定语从句先处理。

　　Richardson, who served as both Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare during the Nixon Administration, was talking about the negotiations for a Law of the Sea treaty, which came to a virtual conclusion last week after six years of deliberations.

　　理查森曾在尼克松政府中担任国防部长和卫生、教育和福利部长，他是在谈到关于海洋法条约的谈判时说这番话的。（译文用了并列分句）

　　I have never had much patience with the writers who claim from the reader an effort to understand their meaning.

　　有些作家，读者要费力气才能看懂他们的意思，我对这样的作家一向是没有多少耐心的。（原文中的定语从句在译文中提前处理。）
