在旅游英語口譯中，長句多出現(xiàn)在較為正式的有稿講話或發(fā)言的場合，如旅游節(jié)開幕式等。這種情況下的長句非常書面化，結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)密，甚至經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)“套話”。而非正式場合交談中若出現(xiàn)了長句，往往也是比較口語化的，由多個(gè)簡單句并列而成。但無論是何種情況我們都要認(rèn)真分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，迅速抓住關(guān)鍵信息、中心含義、句子主干，以便把復(fù)雜句子簡單化。實(shí)踐中具體方法有以下幾種。InterpretingSkills一、順譯法當(dāng)源語言的敘述層次與目標(biāo)語言基本一致時(shí)，可按源語言的順序進(jìn)行翻譯。例如：

1.Pleaseallowmetosaysomething,onbehalfofmycolleaguesofABCHotel,toexpressourwarmwelcome.譯：請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我說幾句話，代表我們ABC大酒店的同事，來表達(dá)我們熱烈的歡迎。評(píng)析：此句英文與中文的表述層次基本一致，在口譯要求快速反應(yīng)的情況下，可按照原文的順序翻譯。若是在筆譯過程中，則不一定強(qiáng)調(diào)迅速反應(yīng)，則可以翻譯得更加優(yōu)美如“請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我代表我們ABC大酒店的同事向各位表達(dá)我們的熱烈歡迎?！?/p>

2.我相信你們會(huì)有一個(gè)愉快的旅程，如果需要我?guī)兔Φ脑挘?qǐng)直說。譯：Iamsureyouwillenjoyyourjourney.IfthereisanythingIcandotohelp,pleaseletmeknow.InterpretingSkills二、逆序法當(dāng)源語言的敘述層次與目標(biāo)語言的習(xí)慣不同，甚至相反時(shí)，需要按照目標(biāo)語言習(xí)慣的語序，甚至從后往前來翻譯。例如：

1.天壇和紅墻黃瓦的故宮不同，以天藍(lán)色為主。譯：UnliketheImperialPalacewithyellowtilesandredwalls,theTempleofHeavenismostlyskyblueincolor.評(píng)析：若此句按照中文原文的順序翻譯則變?yōu)椤癟heTempleofHeavenisdifferentfromtheImperialPalacewithyellowtilesandredwalls.Itismostlyskyblueincolor.”兩個(gè)簡單句型的重復(fù)在緊湊性和文采方面都比原文遜色。InterpretingSkills三、增譯法與減譯法增譯法，是指在原文基礎(chǔ)上添加必要的單詞、詞組、分句或完整句，使譯文更加符合目標(biāo)語言的習(xí)慣與文化背景。但要做到增詞不增意。例如：

1.IstillrememberthenightwhenIcametothevillage.譯：我還記得剛來到這個(gè)村子的那個(gè)晚上的情景。評(píng)析：根據(jù)中文語法結(jié)構(gòu)的需求，在漢語譯文中增加了“情景“一詞，使句型完整。

2.Followersbloomallovertheyard.譯：朵朵鮮花開滿了庭院。評(píng)析：英文中的量詞不如漢語的豐富，在英譯漢的過程中要根據(jù)需要加上合適的量詞。InterpretingSkills

3.公元前221年，秦始皇統(tǒng)一中國后，連接并增修了公元前5世紀(jì)原秦、燕、趙三國建造的長城。譯：In221B.C.afterQinshiHuang,thefirstemperoroftheQinDynasty,unfiedChina,thesectionsoftheGreatWallbuiltbythekingdomsofQin,Yan,andZhaointhe5thcenturyB.C.werelinkedandextended.評(píng)析：大部分外國人可能不太了解秦始皇的含義。因此在英文譯文中加上了“thefirstemperoroftheQinDynasty”加以解釋說明。InterpretingSkills四、減譯法減譯法，指在口譯過程中刪去不符合目標(biāo)語言思維習(xí)慣、語言習(xí)慣的詞語。但要做到減詞不減意。例如：

1.每根立柱直徑為9米，內(nèi)有美國奧蒂斯電梯公司專門為東方明珠設(shè)計(jì)、建造、安裝的高速電梯上下載客。譯：Eachcolumnis9metersindiameterandisequippedwithhigh-speedpassengerelevatorsspeciallydesigned,constructedandinstalledbyOtisoftheUnitedStates.評(píng)析：在譯文中省略了“專門為東方明珠”這一信息。因?yàn)榭梢灾苯訌纳舷挛暮x中看出這一點(diǎn)。還有“上下”也沒必要特別翻譯或交代，從常識(shí)可判斷電梯都是上下行駛的。

2.三峽大壩熱忱歡迎五大洲朋友的光臨！譯：TheThreeGorgesDamwarmlywelcomesfriendsfromthefivecontinents/fromallovertheworld.評(píng)析：“歡迎……光臨”只需譯成“welcome”，不必畫蛇添足譯為“welcomethearrivalof...”。InterpretingSkills

3.中國幅員遼闊，各地景色、氣候差異很大，可以說一年四季都可以旅游。譯：AsChinaissuchavastcountry,landscapesandclimatevarywidelyfromplacetoplace.SoyoumayvisitChinainanyseasonoftheyear.評(píng)析：中國人有時(shí)喜歡把表示相同含義的詞疊加起來說。在英譯時(shí)可以簡化處理。如“一年四季”可僅僅譯為“inanyseason”，而不必譯成“inanyofthefourseason”。

4.這些山峰，連同山上的綠竹翠柳、岸邊的農(nóng)舍，隱約化入天際，真是“果然佳勝在興坪”。譯：Thesehillsandthegreenbambooandwillowsandfarmhousesmergewiththeirreflectionsintheriverandleadvisitorstoadreamyworld.評(píng)析：在旅游介紹中，大量的對(duì)偶句使得句子更為精致漂亮，此句就是個(gè)典型案例。但在口譯過程中，若直接翻譯成英文，就會(huì)顯得冗長累贅。從這個(gè)例子可以看出，這些大量的風(fēng)景描述，并沒有太多實(shí)際意義，只為了增強(qiáng)語言節(jié)奏和感情色彩，因此翻譯時(shí)不必一一對(duì)應(yīng)，可進(jìn)行一些刪減，只要能表達(dá)出景物的美感即可。本譯文中最后用到了“dreamyworld”也達(dá)到了非常詩情畫意，讓人充滿想象的效果。InterpretingSkills五、正反譯法由于語言習(xí)慣不同，英漢互譯中往往出現(xiàn)分別從正面和反面表達(dá)同一個(gè)概念的現(xiàn)象。在具體口譯過程中，要根據(jù)目標(biāo)語言的思維表達(dá)習(xí)慣在肯定與否定、主動(dòng)與被動(dòng)等方面正反變通，靈活處理。例如：

1.Keepoffgrass. 譯：禁止踐踏草地。

2.Afteryou. 譯：你先請(qǐng)。

3.ForeignerscomingtoBeijinghaveallgonehomesatisfactorily.譯：到北京的外國人，沒有不滿意而歸的。InterpretingSkills六、拆分重組法這種方法多用于長句的翻譯，它根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)，找出主干部分，在原句的關(guān)系代詞、關(guān)系副詞、并列、轉(zhuǎn)折等連接處，按意群把原句進(jìn)行分解、重組、翻譯。例如：

1.東方明珠廣播電視塔位于黃浦江畔、浦東陸家嘴嘴尖上，塔高468米，三面環(huán)水，與外灘的萬國建筑博覽群隔江相望，是亞洲第一、世界第三的高塔。譯：TheOrientalPearlRadioandTVTowerissituatedonthebankoftheHuangpuRiverattheendofLujiazuiinPudong.Surroundedbytheriveronthreesides,thetowerfacesarowofWesternbuildingsofvariousstylesontheBundacrosstheriver.Thetoweris468meterstall,rankingfirstinAsiaandthirdintheworld.評(píng)析：通過分析，我們可以看出此句結(jié)構(gòu)雖不算復(fù)雜，但信息量很大，共包含了五個(gè)分句：第一句描述了東方明珠的具體位置；第二句介紹塔高；第三句、第四句突出表現(xiàn)了塔的地理位置的優(yōu)越性；第五句又說到塔的高度問題，為亞洲第一，世界第三。第二、五句都與塔的高度有關(guān)，卻被第三、四句隔開，因此在翻譯過程中，為了使譯文前后內(nèi)容更具邏輯性與連續(xù)性，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)對(duì)分句的順序進(jìn)行調(diào)整，第一句單獨(dú)成一句，第三句、第四句緊隨其后，第二句、第五句安排在一起。PuttingintoPracticeVocabularyWorkWorkonthefollowingwordsandphrases,thenwritethetranslatedversioninthespace：1.ListeningInterpretingPuttingintoPracticeVocabularyWorkWorkonthefollowingwordsandphrases,thenwritethetranslatedversioninthespace：1.ListeningInterpretingPuttingintoPracticeSentences:英漢口譯English-ChineseInterpretationListentothetapeandinterpretthefollowingsentencesfromEnglishintoChinese：①AllkindsofactivitiesareorganizedinSpringFestival,suchaslanternriddles,yangkodances,liondances,stiltwalkingandfireworkcracking.②Singing,dancing,andactingarethethreemaincomponentsofthetraditionalChineseopera.在春節(jié)，人們組織各種各樣的活動(dòng)，例如：猜燈謎、扭秧歌、舞獅子、踩高蹺、放鞭炮等。中國傳統(tǒng)戲曲的三大主要要素是唱，舞，打。1.ListeningInterpretingPuttingintoPracticeSentences:英漢口譯English-ChineseInterpretationListentothetapeandinterpretthefollowingsentencesfromEnglishintoChinese：③IamveryinterestedinthestoryandIcan’twaittowatchtheopera.④ItseemstomethatteadrinkinghasbecomeanindispensablepartoftheChineseculture.我對(duì)這個(gè)故事很感興趣，我都等不及去看這出戲了。我覺得喝茶已成為中國文化不可分割的一部分。1.ListeningInterpretingPuttingintoPracticeSentences:英漢口譯English-ChineseInterpretationListentothetapeandinterpretthefollowingsentencesfromEnglishintoChinese：⑤Thecitizenscomehereeverymorningtobreathefreshairanddosomeexercise.⑥Besidesthetheatresentertainment,therearelotsofamusementparksinChinathatarethemainpartofentertainmentinChina.城市居民們每天早晨到這兒來呼吸新鮮空氣和運(yùn)動(dòng)鍛煉。除了戲曲欣賞，中國還有很多游樂園，這也是主要的娛樂方式。1.ListeningInterpretingPuttingintoPracticeSentences:英漢口譯English-ChineseInterpretationListentothetapeandinterpretthefollowingsentencesfromEnglishintoChinese：⑦Chinesecitiescloseuparound9p.m.,soyou'llonlyfindentertainmentpossibilitiesinthelargerplaces,especiallyBeijing,Shanghai,andGuangzhou.⑧WhenyouwalkaroundanymajorcityaroundEuropeyouwillnoticeawiderangeofpublicentertainersworkingforanyamountofmoneythepublicdecidestogivethem.中國許多城市在晚上9點(diǎn)左右安靜下來，只有在一些大城市，尤其是北京，上海和廣州，你會(huì)找到娛樂方式。當(dāng)你在歐洲的一些主要城市漫步時(shí)，你會(huì)看到有大量的街頭藝人在賣力展示，圍觀者想給多少錢都可以。1.ListeningInterpretingPuttingintoPracticeSentences:英漢口譯English-ChineseInterpretationListentothetapeandinterpretthefollowingsentencesfromEnglishintoChinese：⑨Xiangshengisatypeofcomedictalkbytwoactorsspeakingandperforminginahumor.Thetwoactorswillspeaktoeachotheronatopicthatishumorousanddesignedtomaketheaudiencelaugh.⑩Themah-jonggameisacompetitivegamewithahistoryinChina，usuallyplayedbyfourindividualseachholding13tiles.相聲是一種兩人表演的說唱曲藝，兩個(gè)演員表演時(shí)圍繞一個(gè)主題彼此逗樂以使觀眾捧腹大笑。麻將是一種中國傳統(tǒng)競技性游戲，通常需四個(gè)人玩，每人持13張麻將牌。1.ListeningInterpretingPuttingintoPracticeSentences:漢英口譯

ReadthefollowingpassagesandtranslatethemintoEnglishorChinese:TextOne雜技雜技是中國傳統(tǒng)表演藝術(shù)寶庫中的珍品。中國雜技有著悠久的歷史。雜技藝術(shù)在中國已經(jīng)存在兩千多年了。早在戰(zhàn)國時(shí)期(公元前475～公元前221年),雜技的雛形就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)。直至漢代(公元前221～公元220年),雜技或“百玩”無論是內(nèi)容還是品種都得到進(jìn)一步發(fā)展。在唐代,雜技演員的數(shù)量大大增加,他們的表演技巧也改善了很多。PuttingintoPractice在長期的發(fā)展過程中,中國的雜技藝術(shù)已經(jīng)形成了自己的風(fēng)格。早期的雜技源于人們的生活，與生活和生產(chǎn)勞動(dòng)有著密切的關(guān)聯(lián)。人們的勞動(dòng)工具，像三叉戟、柳條環(huán)、桌子、椅子、罐子、盤子和碗，都會(huì)被用在“飛行三叉戟”、“平衡椅”、“罐子戲法”、“箍跳水”的表演中。武術(shù)、舞獅起源于民間體育和游戲。所有這些當(dāng)時(shí)在全國各地已經(jīng)成為司空見慣的雜技表演。盡管有著悠久的發(fā)展歷史并廣受歡迎，在中國古代雜技從來不會(huì)在劇院進(jìn)行表演，因?yàn)樗槐簧蠈尤耸克邮堋１臼兰o(jì)中葉以來,中國努力培育和發(fā)展民族藝術(shù)。雜技也迎來了新的發(fā)展。全國各省、市、自治區(qū)都建立了自己的雜技團(tuán)。老雜技演員們有了更好的機(jī)會(huì)去展示他們的能力。近代中國的雜技已經(jīng)建立了一套設(shè)計(jì)和指導(dǎo)系統(tǒng)，旨在創(chuàng)造優(yōu)美的舞臺(tái)形象、和諧的音樂伴奏和良好的支護(hù)效果，以實(shí)現(xiàn)一種全面發(fā)展的舞臺(tái)藝術(shù)。中國雜技的現(xiàn)狀反映了中國人民的智慧和令人生畏的勇氣。在過去的四十年里，許多中國雜技團(tuán)巡演過世界一百多個(gè)國家和地區(qū)，促進(jìn)了友誼和文化的交流。目前，全國有超過120個(gè)縣級(jí)以上雜技團(tuán)，參與演員逾12000人次。PuttingintoPracticeTextTwo
