The value of the pound has fallen to a new low against the dollar.英鎊兌換美元的比值已跌到新的（最）低點。技巧點評：商務(wù)英語翻譯不同于文藝作品的翻譯，一般不講求文采、韻味、修辭等，而要求把“準確嚴謹”的原則置于首位；在翻譯專業(yè)術(shù)語和關(guān)鍵詞語時，一定要在透徹地理解原文的精神實質(zhì)的基礎(chǔ)上，準確地用符合漢語表達習(xí)慣的說法表達出來。（二）根據(jù)詞性確定詞義 1The price quoted include a progressive commission to be calculated on FOB basis of 2% for a single order for 10 dozen or up, 3% for 30 dozen or up. 所報價格包括累進傭金，按FOB價為基礎(chǔ)計算，每定單在10打及以上時傭金為2%，30打及以上為3%。 2Party B is commissioned by the manufactures to buy steel plates and this contract shall supersede (replace) all previous commitments.乙方受制造廠家的委托購買鋼板，因此本合同將取代以前的一切承諾。由于詞性不同，以上兩句中的commission的詞義有很大差別。在前一句中名詞，意思是“傭金”；在后一句中卻是動詞，意為“委托”或“代理”。稍作引申：3The Contractor shall be responsible for and shall carry out all maintenance work during commissioning period. 在試運行期間，承包方應(yīng)負責(zé)進行一切維修工作。 翻譯練習(xí)：1. Arbitration of all questions in dispute under this contract shall be at the choice of either party and shall be in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of American Arbitration Association. 對在合同中一切有爭議的問題是否付諸仲裁將由任何一方做出選擇，并須按照美國仲裁協(xié)會的國際仲裁規(guī)則進行仲裁。 3. Our products are manufactured from the choice grades of material and will satisfy you in every respect. 我方產(chǎn)品均用上等材料制成，因此，在各方面都會使貴方滿意。技術(shù)點評：由于以上兩句中的choice的詞性不同，在詞義的確定上也有所不同。第一句中的Choice是名詞，意思為“選擇”（Act of choosing between two or more possibilities)；第二句中的Choice是形容詞，意思為“優(yōu)質(zhì)的”（of very good quality）。 當然，必要時，還可以轉(zhuǎn)換詞匯的詞性：例如將副詞轉(zhuǎn)換成形容詞或介詞，名詞轉(zhuǎn)換成動詞等等。同時，詞性的轉(zhuǎn)換也存在著一定的規(guī)律。一般而言，英語中多用名詞和介詞，而中文里多用動詞和副詞。以后將對此進行詳細講解。 Period 2（三） 根據(jù)專業(yè)來確定詞義1 The premium rates vary with differed interests insured.2If the buyer fails to pay any account when due, the buyer shall be liable to pay the seller overdue interest on such unpaid amount from the due date until the actual date of payment at the rate of five percent per annum, such overdue interest shall be paid upon demand of the seller. 3The articles of our immediate interest are your “CHON-HOI” brand Agricultural Washing Machines. 技術(shù)點評：以上三句出自三個不同的行業(yè)，第一個句子出自保險業(yè)，“interest”一詞在句中的意思是“被保險的貨物”；第二個句子的背景是國際貿(mào)易，“interest”的意思是“一方由于未能支付到期的應(yīng)付款項而向另一方支付的利息”；而第三句屬于營銷業(yè)，此時的“interest”則應(yīng)譯成“對什么產(chǎn)品、品牌感興趣”。翻譯練習(xí)： 1It has raised its JV equity to 70% to gain management control. It has trebled its initial investment and is now expanding its product range and manufacturing capacity to meet growing demands. 公司將其在合資公司的股份增至70%，以獲得管理控制權(quán)。這使它的先期投資增加了兩倍，而且現(xiàn)在正在擴大產(chǎn)品范圍和生產(chǎn)能力來滿足不斷增長的需求。 技術(shù)點評：equity 通常指“公正、公平”的意思，而在金融市場上指的是企業(yè)資產(chǎn)中所占的股份。initial investment是商貿(mào)中常用的術(shù)語，通常譯為“先期投資”或“預(yù)付款”，而不是“一開始的投資”。2Due diligence should be done before finalizing any large investment or acquisition. 在確定大筆投資或并購前需要進行盡職調(diào)查。 3. The terms of the transaction have been negotiated on an arms length basis. 交易條款按照公平原則商訂。（四） 根據(jù)詞的搭配關(guān)系和上下文來確定詞義1In case of any request by either party, the party having possession of the desired record may deliver the appropriate records to the requesting party.2The price difference should in no case be as big as USD 25 per metric ton.3In the case of an order for more than 6 000 pieces, Party B allows a special discount of 6 percent.技術(shù)點評：盡管每個句子中都含有“case”這個詞，但它在以上三個句子中都由于其搭配形式不同而具有不同的意義。第一句中的短語“in case of”用于引導(dǎo)狀語，意思為“假使、如果”；第二句中“in no case”相當于一個副詞，意思為“決不”；而第三句中的“in the case of”雖然在結(jié)構(gòu)上與“in case of”類似，但意義卻不大相同，意思為“至于，就來說”。練習(xí)：再以一個常見的詞為例：account，可指“賬戶、客戶、生意往來關(guān)系”，復(fù)數(shù)則可指“賬目、會計部門、賬款”等，它在不同搭配或上下文中可有不同的含義：1When the debt is clearedas it must be by the time the customer retiresand the account goes into credit, it will attract interest at about 5 percent. 顧客退休時，必須結(jié)清欠款，隨后賬戶可轉(zhuǎn)為信用貨款，收取約百分之五的利息。 2The company is one of our major accounts, so we should do our best to satisfy their needs. 那家公司是我們的主要客戶之一，因此我們得盡可能滿足他們的需求。 3. The CFO was accused of falsifying the company accounts. 財務(wù)總監(jiān)被控偽造公司賬目。 4. She works in accounts. 她在會計部門任職。 5. Accounts payable is created when a firm deals with suppliers who extend credit.公司與供貨商交易時因其延長信貨而產(chǎn)生應(yīng)付賬款。技術(shù)點評：總之，一個詞會因其搭配形式的差異而具有不同意義，這在商務(wù)合同中出現(xiàn)得尤其頻繁。在此，在翻譯實踐中，譯者需要運用語篇理論，通過詞語在語篇中的運用來確定其真正含義。正因為如此，譯者有必要將多義詞放到全文中去理解，而無論從哪方面斟酌考慮，詞義、專業(yè)或詞的搭配，無一不與語篇緊密相聯(lián)。 詞義的引申（Extension）1. Every life has its roses and thorns. 每個人的生活都有甜有苦。2. sleep deficit 睡眠不足 詞義的引申指的是在一個詞所具有的原始意義的基礎(chǔ)上，根據(jù)上下文和邏輯關(guān)系進一步加以引申，選擇適當確切的譯語詞匯來表達，避免生搬硬套地逐字死譯，這樣才能使譯語更加通順流暢。正如前文所述，英語詞義對上下文的依賴性強，可變性大，因此詞義引申在英譯漢中尤為重要。（一）詞義的轉(zhuǎn)化1. These days, the U.S. economy isnt “graduating enough scientists to fill the need of the coming decades,” frets Charles C. Leighton, “Thats a real concern.” 近來，美國經(jīng)濟“未培養(yǎng)出足夠的科學(xué)家來滿足今后幾十年發(fā)展的需要，”查爾斯C萊頓抱怨說，“這才是真正需要關(guān)注的問題。” （graduating 由“畢業(yè)”轉(zhuǎn)化為“培養(yǎng)” 。）2. The factors which are likely to influence investment spending do not stop here. 可能影響投資開支的因素并不止這些。（在此，do not stop here由“不停留在這里”轉(zhuǎn)化趁“并不止這些”。 ）3.Our products, if maintained properly and regularly, can at least see twenty years service. 我們的產(chǎn)品如果適當?shù)囟ㄆ跈z修，至少可以使用二十年。4. The huge increase in oil prices in the 1970s cast a cloud over the development plans of many developing nations. 20世紀70年代石油價格猛漲，曾對許多發(fā)展中國家的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展計劃投下一抹陰影。 Cloud在現(xiàn)代英語里可以表示“使人產(chǎn)生未曾想到的傷心或不愉快”。故本句如此引申。Cloud作動詞用時，有“含混不清”、“不易看懂或理解”、“變得難以判別”、“玷污”之義，比如：Scandals clouded the popular presidents reputation. （丑聞玷污了深得民心的總統(tǒng)的聲譽）。（二）詞義的具體化 1. Now that the merger of “dot” and “com” has created so many young millionaires, theres a new topic: venture capital. 既然網(wǎng)絡(luò)公司的兼并造就了如此多的百萬富翁，我們面臨一個新話題：風(fēng)險資本。（一般公司網(wǎng)址都有“dot and com”，所以此處具體引申為“網(wǎng)絡(luò)公司” ）2. All the wit and learning in the economic circle will be present at the seminar. 經(jīng)濟界的所有專家學(xué)者將出席這次研討會。 （wit and learning由抽象的“智慧與學(xué)識”引申為具體的“專家學(xué) 者” ）翻譯練習(xí)：1For the average consumer, voice-activated devices are a convenience; for the elderly and the handicapped, they may become indispensable for a wide variety of chores in the home. 對普通消費者來說，聲觸發(fā)裝置能提供方便，對老年人和殘疾人來說，它可能成為從事各種家庭雜務(wù)事不可或缺的幫手。2There is more to their life than political and social and economic problems, more than transient everydayness.他們的生活遠不止那些政治的、社會的和經(jīng)濟的問題，遠不止一時的柴米油鹽問題。 3The Board tried its best to improve the balance sheet of the company.董事會已盡最大努力改善本公司的整體財務(wù)狀況。（balance sheet在會計上固然可解作“資產(chǎn)負債表”，但是這個詞還可引申為公司的“整體財務(wù)狀況”。)（三）詞義的抽象化 1The interest rates have see-sawed between 10 and 15 per cent. 利率一直在 10到15之間不斷波動。（See-saw 由“蹺蹺板一上一下的交替擺動”抽象化為“波動”。）2Everyone knows that John lost his shirt when the business he had invested failed. 大家都知道，約翰生意失敗后就傾家蕩產(chǎn)了。 (lose his shirt 由“丟了一件襯衫”引申為“失去一切”，相當于漢語中常說的“連短褲都輸沒了”。）3CED Finklestein: He needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat to save the company.總經(jīng)理芬克爾斯坦說：他需要拿出一個絕招來挽救公司。 （pull a rabbit out of his hat 原義為“從自己的帽子里抓出一只兔子來”，在此引申為“像耍魔術(shù)一樣拿出一種不同凡響的解決辦法”。譯文簡潔明晰地把總經(jīng)理擔(dān)心的心情表達了出來。）翻譯練習(xí)：1 The owners son has the inside track for the job. 老板的兒子有優(yōu)先獲得這項職務(wù)的權(quán)利。inside track 原義為“內(nèi)圈跑道”，在此引申為“優(yōu)先的權(quán)利”。2The EECs common agricultural policy is a dinosaur which is adding 13.50 week to the food bill of the average British family. 歐洲經(jīng)濟共同體的農(nóng)業(yè)共同政策早已不合時宜，它要使英國家庭平均每周在食品開銷上多支出13.50英鎊。Dinosaur的詞典釋義是“恐龍”，在現(xiàn)代漢語里，它又常被引申為“要被廢棄的落后的龐然大物”，如the countrys industrial dinosaur指“該國龐大而陳舊的工業(yè)體系”。落后而要被廢棄的東西當然也是過時的或不合時宜的，故此處作這樣的引申。 詞類轉(zhuǎn)換法（Conversion of Part of Speech ）1 Rockets have found application for the exploration of the universe. 火箭已經(jīng)用來探索宇宙。2. He is a good observer. 他善于觀察。 3. Access to the Internet is very simple. 上互聯(lián)網(wǎng)很簡單。4 Nylon is nearly twice as strong as natural silk. 尼龍的強度幾乎是天然絲的二倍。詞類轉(zhuǎn)換指的是商務(wù)英語中語言的詞性和表現(xiàn)方法的改變。由于英語和漢語的表達習(xí)慣、句子結(jié)構(gòu)和詞的搭配關(guān)系均有差異，在翻譯中往往很難做到詞性和表現(xiàn)手法一致。為了適應(yīng)譯文語言的表達習(xí)慣和語法規(guī)則，在商務(wù)英語翻譯中必須運用詞性轉(zhuǎn)換技巧。同樣一個意思，英漢語常用互不相同的結(jié)構(gòu)來表達，因而可以說，詞性的轉(zhuǎn)換是隨著句子結(jié)構(gòu)改變而產(chǎn)生的。詞性轉(zhuǎn)換技巧是一種較靈活的翻譯技巧，我們不能一味追求詞性的對等，而應(yīng)根據(jù)上下文作恰到好處的調(diào)整處理，使譯文貼切，以求達到最佳的翻譯效果。翻譯練習(xí)：Extremely keen competition between American and German vehicle manufacturers in the European market has compelled us to change our investment plan.美國與德國汽車制造商在歐洲市場競爭得異常激烈，迫使我們不得不改變投資計劃。（英語名詞轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語動詞） 將英語名詞轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語動詞，譯文更符合漢語的表達習(xí)慣。因為與英語相比，漢語句子中動詞用得多，除了大量的動賓結(jié)構(gòu)外，還有很多連動式、兼語式等兩個以上動詞連用的現(xiàn)象。因此，英語中不少詞類，如名詞、動名詞、介詞、形容詞、副詞等在英譯漢時往往需要進行一定的調(diào)整，轉(zhuǎn)譯成漢語動詞。當然，英語的名詞化和漢語的動詞化并不排除在英譯漢時把英語動詞轉(zhuǎn)化成漢語的名詞，再如：1A government report targets earnings from industry at US $ 200 billion by 2008. 政府的一份報告提出一個指標：到2008年，要使工業(yè)收入達到2 000 億美元。（英語動詞轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語名詞） 2The cost of making goods can be drastically lowered by means of mass-production. 通過批量生產(chǎn)可以大幅度降低生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品的成本。（英語介詞轉(zhuǎn)化成漢語動詞） 3Before World War II the most successful attempt to reduce tariffs by reciprocal bargaining was the trade agreements program of the United States, which was limited, however, by its bilateral nature. 第二次世界大戰(zhàn)之前，通過互相談判降低關(guān)稅的最成功的努力是美國的貿(mào)易協(xié)定計劃，但是這一計劃受其雙邊性質(zhì)的限制。（英語代詞轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語名詞）4Advertising affects tremendously every sphere of modern life. 廣告對現(xiàn)代生活的方方面面產(chǎn)生極大的影響。（英語副詞轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語形容詞）5The fair price connected with the superiority of varieties of our products will be able to guarantee our competitive edge in the international market. 我方各種各樣的產(chǎn)品價格公平，品質(zhì)優(yōu)良，能夠確保在國際市場的競爭優(yōu)勢。（英語名詞轉(zhuǎn)換成漢語形容詞）。 可以看出，經(jīng)過詞性轉(zhuǎn)換后譯出的句子明顯通順達意，節(jié)奏感強，符合漢語的表達習(xí)慣。另外，語言是個無限生成的系統(tǒng)，詞類轉(zhuǎn)換也是千變?nèi)f化的，在翻譯實踐中需要靈活運用。比如英語名詞可以轉(zhuǎn)換為漢語副詞，副詞可以轉(zhuǎn)換為名詞。有時翻譯一個句子需要進行幾個不同的詞類轉(zhuǎn)換。再舉例：1 He is physically weak, but mentally swift. 他身體雖弱，但思維敏捷。（副詞轉(zhuǎn)換成名詞） 2I have the honor to inform you that the new products of yours have entered the international markets. 我榮幸地告訴你，貴公司的新產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)打入了國際市場。（名詞轉(zhuǎn)換成副詞）3Lin Zexu believed that a successful ban of the trade in opium must be preceded by the destruction of the drug itself. 林則徐認為，要成功地禁止鴉片，就得首先把鴉片焚毀。（形容詞+名詞轉(zhuǎn)換為副詞 +動詞，名詞轉(zhuǎn)換為動詞） 翻譯練習(xí)：1 Males and females are equal in their right to inheritance. （形容詞轉(zhuǎn)換為名詞；介詞轉(zhuǎn)換為名詞） 繼承權(quán)男女平等。2 There must be less empty talk and more hard work. （名詞轉(zhuǎn)換為動詞） 一定要少說空話，多做工作。3For 20 years we were passive witnesses to the deterioration of prices of our raw materials and an excessive increase of the prices of manufactured goods.（形容詞名詞轉(zhuǎn)換為副詞動詞） 二十年來我們坐視原材料價格下跌與工業(yè)品價格暴漲（的情況）。4A well-dressed man, who looked and talked like an American, got into the car. 一個穿著講究的人上了車。他的外表和談吐都像個美國人。 Homework：1He was a regular visitor.2He is no smoker, but his father is a chain-smoker.3An acquaintance of world history is helpful to the study of current affairs.4Talking with the his son, the old man was the forgiver of the young mans past wrong doings.1.定期來訪。2. 他不抽煙，可他父親卻一支又一支不停地抽。3讀點世界史，對學(xué)習(xí)時事是有幫助的。4在和兒子談話時，老人寬恕了年青人過去所干的壞事。 視角轉(zhuǎn)化法（Shift of Perspective） 1. riot police 防暴警察2. crisis law 反危機法3. Students are still arriving. 學(xué)生還沒有到齊。 4. Dont stop running. 繼續(xù)跑。5. Inflation is Target of Banks New Policy （China Daily 標題） 反通貨膨脹是銀行新政的目標。 6.arms conference 裁軍會議7. I must confess 不瞞您說，8. People will be long forgetting her. 人們會長久記住她的。 技術(shù)點評： 在英譯漢過程中，我們常常遇到這樣一種情況，即原詞所表達的并不是其字面意義，而是其字面意義的反義，或者說是對其字面意義的否定，可這種否定又往往不出現(xiàn)否定詞，這種情況并不少見，需要用到視角轉(zhuǎn)化法。 作為翻譯中的一種變通手段，視點轉(zhuǎn)換指譯者在不涉及特殊文化背景因素的情況下，用譯語意義替代原語意義，重組原語信息的表層形式，轉(zhuǎn)換表達角度，使譯文更符合漢語習(xí)慣，更易于被讀者接受，更有利于譯文預(yù)期功能的實現(xiàn)。如下面這句話常出現(xiàn)在香港的電車門上： Please tender extra fare.（恕不找贖。）“找贖”乃粵語，相當于普通話中的“找零、找錢”。如果順譯則為：“請如數(shù)繳費。”但作為無人售票車上的提示語，如果從反面著筆效果會更好。例如，自學(xué)teach oneself；遠程教育distance learning。視點轉(zhuǎn)換技巧除了包括肯定句與否定句之間的相互轉(zhuǎn)換，還包括其他與原文不同或相反的表達角度。1With the winter coming in, many fashion stores start to sell warm clothes. 冬天即將來臨，許多商店開始銷售寒衣了。 （此處 warm clothes 不譯為“暖和的衣服”，經(jīng)視角轉(zhuǎn)換后譯為“寒衣”，剛好符合漢語的表達習(xí)慣，且更簡練。） 2Party A shall have a right of first refusal whenever party B wishes to sell any of its shares in the Group. 乙方任何時候有意出售其持有之本集團任何股份，甲方一律擁有優(yōu)先購買權(quán)。（如果把 right of first refusal 刻譯成“優(yōu)先拒絕權(quán)”，則有失準確，必須經(jīng)過視角轉(zhuǎn)換把它譯成“優(yōu)先購買權(quán)”才符合行業(yè)規(guī)范。）3We offer to take ten percent off if your order is big enough. 如果您的訂貨量足夠大的話，我們會給您打九折。（ take ten percent off 本義為“把價格扣除百分之十”，利用視點轉(zhuǎn)換法可翻譯成“打九折”。）4The supermarket designated quite a few pick-up points in some comparatively densely populated communities in suburban areas. 該超市在郊區(qū)人口相對密集的社區(qū)設(shè)立了好幾個上車地點。（Pick-up points 原義為“接（顧客）的地點”，現(xiàn)在經(jīng)過視點轉(zhuǎn)換則變?yōu)椤吧宪嚨攸c”了。）5The seller determines to sell it at one price. 商家決定該產(chǎn)品以不二價銷售。（ at one price 為“只以一種價格”，這樣的表達不符合漢語的表達習(xí)慣，而用“不二價”則表示出商家不愿同顧客討價還價的決心。）6In his 1776 work The Wealth of Nations, Scottish economist Adam Smith proposed that specialization in production leads to increased output.蘇格蘭經(jīng)濟學(xué)家亞當斯密在其1776年所著的國富論中認為，專業(yè)化生產(chǎn)會引起產(chǎn)出增加。（這里，把“生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)業(yè)化”轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)椤皩I(yè)化生產(chǎn)”，把“增加的產(chǎn)出”轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)椤爱a(chǎn)出增加”。）翻譯練習(xí)：1. With Silicon Valleys unbelievable housing prices in mind, I expected to see a much worse house.由于對硅谷出奇高的房價早有所聞，所以看到房子還過得去，真是出乎我的意料。2. Urban clearway. 市區(qū)通道，不準停車。3. Keep upright. 切勿倒置。4. Yet they could only get the blood if one of the frightened children would agree to give it. 然而，如果這些受驚嚇的孩子中無人自愿獻血，他們就無法得到血。 5. You couldnt kill any more. 你已經(jīng)惡貫滿盈了。6. The bill was defeated, but during the next 25 years more than 100 food and drug bills were introduced in Congress. 雖然議案未獲通過，但在隨后的25年中，有100多個食品和藥品法案被提交到國會。 7. This book could not have been written or published without the help of dozens of people, and I am deeply grateful to all of them.這本書的寫作和出版曾得到許多位友人的各種幫助,謹此一并深表謝意。 增減法（Amplification & Pruning ） By amplification we mean supplying necessary words in our translation work so as to make the version correct and clear, to make it more like the language translated into. Of course words thus supplied must indispensable either syntactically or semantically. In other words, a translator is not supposed to add any meaning to the original. There are two kinds: 1)Words for syntactic constructionto secure correctness；2)Words supplied for semantic completionto secure clearness. Both aim at making the version expressive and readily understood by the reader.1Amplification (增詞法) 增詞法：1) 增補同義詞 2) 增補范疇詞 3) 增補產(chǎn)品名稱 減詞法文字增補是商務(wù)英語翻譯中的重要技巧之一。英語的語言習(xí)慣是只要不引起誤解便應(yīng)盡量避免哆嗦。但如果漢譯時未進行一定的文字增補，拘泥于原文形式，機械地對譯，反而會影響語義的理解和譯文的文體風(fēng)格。翻譯練習(xí)：1. First you borrow, then you beg. 2. I forgot my key.3. “Itll make a man of him,” said Jack. “College is the place.”4. Inflation has now reached an unprecedented level.5. The essence remains its identity while appearances may vary.6. A red sun is rising slowly on the horizon.White clouds float over the blue sky.7. Theory is something but practice is everything.8. Dont get angry. Im just making fun of you.熱身練習(xí)：1In the evening, after the banquets, the concerts and the table tennis exhibitions, he would work on the drafting of the final communiqu. 晚上在參加宴會、出席音樂會、觀看乒乓球表演之后，他還得起草最后公報。2. Our product is indeed cheap and fine. 我們的產(chǎn)品物美價廉。 3. Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; writing an exact man.讀書使人充實，討論使人機智，寫作使人準確。 （一）增補同義詞 詞義英語有一詞多義的特點，同一個詞可以同時與若干個詞進行搭配，相互修飾、制約，語言仍自然流暢。但漢語在詞的搭配方面相對嚴謹，同一個詞通常不能同時與多個詞搭配。根據(jù)漢語詞的搭配習(xí)慣和英語詞匯的一詞多義的特點，我們應(yīng)采用文字增補的技巧，這樣才能使譯文既準確達意，又照顧到漢語的語言習(xí)慣。e.g. The innovation of products is one of the reform measures of the SOEs because it can decrease loss, cost and budget. 產(chǎn)品的革新是國企改革措施之一，因為它可以減少損失、降低成本并削減預(yù)算。如果直譯成：“產(chǎn)品的革新是國企改革措施之一，因為它可以減少損失、成本和預(yù)算?！蹦敲?，句中的“減少”和“成本”的搭配就不妥當，所以有必要增補相應(yīng)的漢語詞匯。1Investor confidence is crucial to the success of our economic system. 投資者的信心對于經(jīng)濟體系的成功運行至關(guān)重要。2Both the buyer and the seller are busy at negotiations of business, contract and draft. 買賣雙方正忙于交易磋商，合約談判和匯票議付。 如果直譯為：“買賣雙方正忙于交易，合約和匯票的磋商?！蹦敲?，“磋商”和“合約”及“匯票”的搭配也不準確，因此，需要譯者根據(jù)漢語的搭配習(xí)慣做出增補。 （二）增補范疇詞在英譯漢過程中考慮到漢語的表達習(xí)慣，經(jīng)常增加的范疇詞有：方法、措施、情況、情緒、狀態(tài)、現(xiàn)象、方面、問題、關(guān)系、工作等。例如：e.g. The changes of requirements for the commodities in the market are affected by the internal and external factors.影響市場對商品需求的變化情況有內(nèi)因和外因兩方面的因素。 如果直譯就是：影響市場對商品需求的變化有內(nèi)因和外因兩方面。但若添加范疇詞“情況”、“方面”等來修飾相應(yīng)的抽象名詞，changes和 factors 更加具體、明確，符合漢語的修辭需要。1. The tension in the Middle East has attracted much attention. 中東的緊
