二、轉換成名詞
1.動詞轉換成名詞
The university aims at the first rate of the world.
參考譯文:學校的目標是世界一流。
2.形容詞轉換成名詞
They did their best to help the sick and the wounded.
參考譯文:他們盡了最大努力幫助病號和傷號。
3.代詞轉換成名詞
According to a growing body of evidence, the chemicals that make up many plastics may migrate out of the material and into foods and fluids, ending up in your body.
分析:your body直譯是你的身體,而細讀原文,我們發現其實your body是泛指人體。作者為了引起與讀者的共鳴,用了與讀者更息息相關的your.在翻譯時,應將此代詞轉換成名詞,體現其真實含義。
參考譯文:越來越多的證據表明,許多塑料制品的化學成分會移動到食物或流體上去,最終進入人體內。
4.副詞轉換成名詞
The new type of machine is shown schematically in Figure1.
參考譯文:圖一所示是這種新型機器的簡圖。
