一.商务英语翻译：口译技巧
1.顺序法
顺序法指代的就是译者要按照原文的词汇顺序去翻译。在商务英语翻译的过程中，当一句话所陈述的是一连串按照时间顺序发生或者有相关逻辑的动作时，此时的口译翻译法便可以按照原文的英文词汇按顺序翻译。
2.反译法
由于英语和汉语的语言组织机构的不同，一般英语的中心会在句前段，而汉语则会以一种总结是的陈述，把中心放在句后段，因此大家在口译的过程中，还需要判断句子的重点，利用反译法把句子的核心按照汉语的习惯顺序翻译出来。
二.商务英语翻译：笔译技巧
1.凝练法
由于商务英语笔译中会出现很多信息量较大、结构也比较复杂的句型，很难用一种翻译技巧去翻译到位，因此面对这一类的语句笔译，大家首先要学会理清主谓以及修饰语之间的成分关系，然后再用各种方法合理的综合运用，保证译文的通顺。
2.词类转换法
词类转换主要是指词性以及表现方法的变化，由于中文和英语的搭配差异性，很难能够让词性以及表现方式一致，因此为了适应译文语言的表达及语法习惯，大家在翻译的过程中要灵活使用词汇转换法，以达到译文的准确性。
以上就是小编整理的商务英语翻译必备技巧。不管是口译还是笔译，商务英语翻译还是比较难掌握的，因此一定要熟悉并且灵活运用各种翻译技巧，这样才能让自己的商务英语翻译变得更加专业化。更多关于英语翻译学习的基础入门知识、能力提升技巧、实用英语方面的相关内容，小编会持续更新。祝愿各位都能认真学习。

Contract translation from English to Chinese (20 points)Any failure or delay in the performance by either party hereto of its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach hereof or give rise to any claims for damages if and to the extent that it is caused by occurrences beyond the control of the party affected, including, but without limiting the generality of the forgoing, acts of governmental authority, acts of god, strikes or concerted acts of workmen, fires, floods, explosions, wars, riots, storms, earth¬quakes, accidents, acts of a public enemy, rebellion, insurrection, sabotage, epidemic, quarantine restrictions, shortages of labour, materials or supplies, failures by contractors or subcontractors, transportation embargoes, failures or delays in transportation, rules, regulations, orders or directives of any government or any state, subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof or the order of any court of competent jurisdiction.参考译文：本协议任何一方未能履行基本协议规定的义务或有所延误，如果是由于发生该方无法控制的事件所造成的，则在此范围内不构成对本协议的违反，也不得引起任何赔偿损失的要求。这类事件在不局限于上述一般概念的前提下包括：政府的行为，自然界的行为，工人罢工或联合行动、火灾、水灾、爆炸、战争、暴乱、风暴、地震、事故，社会公敌的行为，叛乱，起义，破坏，传染病，隔离控制，劳动力、原材料或物资短缺，承包者或分包者未履约，禁运、运输方面未能履约或延误，任何政府或国家、下属各部门、机构或组织的条例、规定、命令或指示，任何有管辖权的法院的命令商务英语翻译第1套 答案和参考译文VI.

先把书读薄,就是每一章的大标题小标题抄一遍,看不进书和看的进书抄一遍都会有个初步印象,这时候要把所有术语的中文翻译找出来,比如accounting是会计,这些不能望文生义,否则就会影响更多阅读.第二不就是把重点章节比如说二三四章看一遍,每一章都只能花2-3天,如果花多时间了,你会根本不去看,人都是有惰性的,所以逼自己在两天内看完一章,一个星期就把握好重点了.最后一遍就走马观花,吧重点用红笔在笔记和书上标一下.看看老师的课件就可以了.考试是很容易的.
4. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice， and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner. 注意句中hundreds of hours的用法，阅读课本第六页注解2. 请翻译下面的词组： 1） 十个学生 ten students 数十个学生 tens of students 2） 五百年 five hundred years 数百年 hundreds of years 3） 两千年 two thousand years 数千年 thousands of years 4） 三百万美元 three million dollars 数百万美元 millions of dollars 5. Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. 句中be different from 意为“与…不同”，如：My opinion is different from yours.（我的观点与你的观点不同。） 请注意下面三个句子中所用的词组： Man is different from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use a language. Man differs from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use a language. The greatest difference between man and all the other animals is his ability to learn and use a language. 从上面的句子中可以看出differ是动词，different 是形容词，difference是名词。 6. … find it difficult to succeed in language learning. … find it difficult to succeed in other fields. 句中的it是形式宾语（formal object），真正的宾语（real object）是不定式to succeed in language learning，此类用法在英语中很常见，请注意掌握。如：At first I found it difficult to remember all these new words.（开始我感到记住这些单词很难。） 请翻译下面的句子： 1） 外面的噪音使我无法继续工作。 （The noise outside made it difficult for me to go on with my work.） 2） 他们觉得再争论下去是浪费时间。 （They consider it a waste of time to argue any further.） 3） 她认为把真相告诉小王是对的。 （She thought it right to tell Xiao Wang the truth.） 7. Language teachers often offer advice to language learners. 本句中注意掌握动词offer的用法，请看下面的例句： 1） He offered me a cup of tea after I sat down. （我坐下后他给我端来一杯茶。） 2） What suggestions would you like to offer to those young teachers？ （对这些新教师你有什么建议要提吗？） 3） This shop offers all kinds of stationery.（这家商店供应各种文具。） 4） The old man offered me 100 yuan for the used bike. （那个老人向我出价100元买这辆旧自行车。） 5） She offered to help me with my English.（她表示愿意帮我学英语。） 句中的advice为不可数名词，其后不加s，正如课本第六页注解3所说，有许多东西在汉语中是可数的，在英语中却是不可数的。如news， information， paper 等，若要表示“一个”这类概念，就必须加a piece of这类定语，例如： a piece of news a piece of advice a sum of money a piece of bread 8. Read as much as you can. 句中的much 是副词，用副词作同等比较时，可以用as … as和so … as 这种结构，如： 1） Read as much as you can and your vocabulary will be enlarged.（尽量多阅读，你的词汇量就会扩大。） 2） We must arrange everything as well as we can.（我们要把一切尽可能地安排好。） 3） Please give me a call as soon as possible.（请尽早给我打电话。） 4） I don't speak English so well as you.（我英语讲得没你好。） 9. Practice speaking the language every day. practice 在美国英语中可以做动词也可以做名词，而在英国英语中，practice是名词，动词的拼写则是practise. 作动词用时，其后只能跟动名词，不能跟不定式。如：It is really no fun to practice running in such hot weather.（在这样炎热的天气里练跑步可真不是好玩的。） 10. Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways. that successful language learners are similar in many ways 是宾语从句。在非正式场合下that引导宾语从句时可省略。如：I think （that） you are right. 请翻译下面的句子： 1） 小男孩承认是他打碎了窗玻璃。 （The little boy admitted that he broke the window.） 2） 大量证据表明他是有罪的。（Plenty of evidence shows that he is guilty.） 3） 我保证将会给他更多的帮助。（I promised that I would give him more help.） 11. … they discover their own way to learn the language. to learn the language 不定式做定语，例如：Is it the best way to solve the problem？（这是解决问题的方法吗？） 请翻译下面的句子： 1） 他没有勇气承认自己是无知的。（He has no courage to say that he is ignorant.） 2） 这将是一个交流思想的好机会。（This will be a good opportunity to exchange ideas.） 3） 他们在会上没有发言权。（They had no right to speak at the meeting.） 12. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain， they try to find the patterns and rules for themselves. 动词不定式to explain和名词 teacher构成复合结构，作wait for的宾语，称为复合宾语。此类用法在英语中很常见，例如： 1） I'll get someone to repair the bike for you.（我去找人来帮你修自行车。） 2） He wants you to call him in the afternoon.（他要你下午给他打电话。） 3） The teacher is waiting for the students to answer the questions. （老师在等学生们回答问题。） 4） You can count on him to give you full support.（你放心，他会给你全力支持。） 请注意 instead of 与 instead 的区别： 1） Instead of staying at home watching TV， he went out for a walk. He didn't stay at home watching TV， instead he went out for a walk. 2） Instead of having milk for breakfast， he had a cup of coffee. He didn't have milk for breakfast， instead he had a cup of coffee. 13. When they guess wrong， they guess again. wrong常常作形容词或动词用，而本句中的wrong则作副词用。请注意下面句子中wrong的词类： 1） He was annoyed that he had been given some wrong information.（wrong adj.错误的） 2） I knew I had wronged her terribly when I gave her all the complaints.（wrong v. 冤枉） 3） The whole class burst into laughter when the teacher pronounced her name wrong.（wrong adv.错，不对）
11. One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. 本句中的 longest与课文前几段中出现的narrowest，saltiest，deepest一样，都是形容词的级形式。因为这几个词是单音节词或是以元音结尾的双音节词，所以，级的构成是在词尾加-est.对于大部分两个音节以上的形容词，级的构成是在形容词前面加most.请看例句： 1） He wants to make everybody believe that he is the happiest person in the world. （他想使每一个人相信他是世界上最幸福的人。） 2） This is the strongest horse I have ever seen.（这是我所见过的壮的马。） 3） The boss wanted to find the most careful employees.（老板想找最细心的雇工。） 4） 黄山是我所知道的最美的山之一。 （Yellow Mountain is one of the most beautiful mountains I have ever known.） 5） 这条高速公路是中国最长的。（This express way is one of the longest in China. ） 6） 这本书是三本书中最有意思的。（This book is the most interesting of the three.） rise 是一个不及物动词，在句子中的意思是“升起；隆起”。例如： 1） The sun rises in the east.（太阳在东方升起。） 2） Give the child some medicine， his temperature is rising.（给孩子服药，他的体温在升高。） 3） The mountain peak rises above the clouds.（山峰高耸入云。） 请注意区别以下动词： 1） rise 不及物动词 （起立；上升，高耸；浮现） The old lady rose to her feet when she heard the doorbell. The tower rises to a height of 70 feet. An idea rises in my mind. 2） raise 及物动词 （举起；养育；提高；召集） If you have any questions， please raise your hands. When Father was in the army， Mother had a hard time raising three children. The management promised to raise the workers''salary after the negotiation. He failed to raise the money for his father''s heart operation. 3） arise 不及物动词 （升起；出现；由…引起） Heavy smoke arose beyond the mountain. New problems arise when old ones are solved. His illness arose from malnutrition. 4） arouse 及物动词 （唤醒；激起，引起） The noise outside aroused him from sleep. The music aroused a feeling of homesickness in him. floor在句子中的意思是“海底”。在其他语言环境中，floor当然有其他的意思。如； 1） He lives on the seventh floor.（他住在7楼。） 2） The wood floor gives a feeling of warmth in the winter.（冬天时，木地板给我温暖的感觉。） 3） He was given the floor at the meeting.（他在会上得到了发言权。） 4）He decided to floor the kitchen with plastic tiles.（他决定用塑料砖铺厨房地面。） 12. The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make island top 在句中做名词用，意思是“顶部，山顶”。例如： 1） He was the first to climb to the top of the hill.（他第一个爬上山顶。） 2） When we stand on the top of the mountain， the whole city is in sight.（我们站在山顶时，整个城市尽收眼底） 请翻译下面的句子，注意top的词类和意思： 1） He shouted at the top of his voice.（他放声高叫。）-n. 2） He is running at the top of his speed.（他正以最快的速度奔跑。）-n. 3） He is the top student in the class.（他是班上的尖子学生。）-adj. 4） This is the top news of the week.（这是本周的头条新闻。）-adj. 5） His father is a top diplomatic advisor.（他父亲是高级外交顾问。）-adj. 6） Mother is going to top the cake with cream.（妈妈准备在蛋糕上浇奶油。）-v. 7） He tops his father by half a head.（他比父亲高出半个头。）-v. 8） She needs a new skirt to match her top.（她需要一条新裙子配她的上衣。）-n. 与top有关的词组： come out top（名列前茅） come out on top（出人头地） from top to bottom（从上到下，彻底地） from top to toe（从头到脚；完全） on top of the world（非常幸福；心满意足） 13. Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. called the Sargasso Sea 是修饰ocean的定语从句，在其前省去了which is. 请看下面的例句： 1） Opportunities are often thing （that） you have not noticed the first time around. （机会常常是第一次出现时没有被人们注意到的东西。） 2） There is much （that） the little boy can do.（有许多是那小男孩能做。） 3）He is the right person （that） I want to discuss the problem with.（他正是我想与其讨论这个问题的人。） 14. In the days of sailing vessels the crew were afraid they would be becalmed here. Sometimes they were. days常常指“时期，时代”，有时也表示“一生；生命”。请看例句： 1） In his boyhood days， he often went swimming and fishing with his friends. （在他的童年时代，他常常和伙伴们一起游泳，钓鱼。） 2） In the days of Queen Victoria， the British colony expanded rapidly. （在维多利亚女王时代，英国殖民地迅速扩张。） 3） He has experienced a lot of hardships in his days.（他一生中吃了许多苦。） crew是一个集合名词，指“全体船员”，后面的谓语动词可以用单数也可以用复数，此句中谓语动词用的是复数were，因为从句子中可以推断出是许多vessels（船）上的船员。Sometimes they were.句子中省略becalmed. 15. The Atlantic furnishes much food for the people on its shores. furnish sth. to sb. 意思是“为…提供”，我们同样可以用furnish sb. with sth.来表达这个意思。例如： They furnished blankets and food to the refugees.（他们为难民供应毯子和食物。） No one expected that he would furnish the information to the opponent.（谁也没有料到他会把消息提供给对手。） Luckily， they have furnished us with a car and all the necessary maps. （幸运的是他们为我们提供了一辆汽车和所有必要的地图。） 16.

Chunking consists of grouping separate bits of information. 在第一单元的Text B中我们已经对consist of有所了解。这一词组的意思是“由…组成”，它与be made up of；be composed of 的意思相近，但consist of 不用被动语态。请看例句： 1） The United States consists of 50 states.（美国由50个州组成。） 2） The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.（英国由大不立颠和北爱尔兰组成。） 3） Their team is made up of 6 team members.（他们队由6名队员组成。） 4） Our class is made up of 45 students.（我们班由45名同学组成。） a bit在句中的意思是“一点，一些”，它可以用在形容词的前面， 但是不能用在名词的前面。在名词前面必须用a bit of.请看下面的例句： 1） I am a bit tired today.（我今天有点累。） 2） He said he was bit hungry.（他说他有点饿。） 3） Your article is a bit long for our paper. （你的文章对我们的报纸来说有点长了。） 4） He gave the bird a bit of water. （他给了鸟儿一点水。） 5） I would appreciate it if you could give me a bit of good advice.（如果你能给我一点宝贵建议我会很感激的。） 6） I only know a bit of Spanish. （我只懂一点点西班牙语。） 8.

For others， having a family simply means having children. 本句中，having a family做主语，mean为谓语动词，having children 做宾语。mean在句中的意思是“意味着”。当mean作“意味着”解释时，在它的后面应该跟名词或者动名词，如： 1）Accepting the job would mean moving to another city. （接受这份工作将意味着我得搬到另一个城市去。） 2）A raise in the worker's salary will mean a cut in the profit. （增加工人的工资意味着利润的降低。） 当mean作“意欲，打算”解释时，在它的后面通常跟不定式，如： 1）I didn't mean to offend you. （我无意冒犯你。） 2）I meant to give you the book yesterday， but I forgot it. （我原打算昨天把书给你的，但我忘了。） 5. Some families have long histories， while others know very little about their ancestors. 请注意while的用法，在本句中while是一个表示转折意味的连词，意思是“然而”。如：Fred gambled all his money away while Jane saved every penny for her son's schooling. （弗雷德赌输了他所有的钱，而珍妮却为儿子的教育攒下每一分钱。） while在不同的语境中有不同的意思，请翻译下面的句子，注意while的词义。 1）They decided to find a less expensive place to stay while in Paris.（在巴黎期间，他们打算找个更便宜的地方住。） 2）He looked at his watch several times while talking to her. （在跟她交谈时，他看了几次表。） 3）One group of children are quiet， while the second group was very active. （一组孩子很安静，而第二组孩子非常活跃。） 4）While I have sympathy for these people， I think they are guilty. （尽管我同情这些人，但我觉得他们有罪。） 5）We will succeed while we don't lose hope. （只要我们不失去希望，我们就会成功。） 6.
