“信”“达”“雅”是考研英语翻译的基本标准，如何在考研英语翻译中取得高分呢，今天，研大考研英语老师为同学们解析长句的翻译要点。

比如，字面和实质往往有很大的差距，“七嘴八舌”就不能译成“七张嘴八条舌头”，“寒暄”也不能译成“寒冷的谈话”，“干脆”也不宜译成“又干又脆”，“在朋友面前我只感到惭愧”(巴金《朋友》)，也不宜说成“羞愧”(ashamed)，实指“不好意思”(illatease)。

首先要进行断句，汉语的断句是个难点汉语是形散意连，断句不如英语那样严格。如何划分汉语的句界之间的关系，在很多情况下要取决于读者的语感和对语句的理解，

如：每一个人，作为社会的一个成员，有权享受其人格和尊严的自由发展所必需的社会、经济、文化权利，这些权利是通过国家努力和国际合作来实现的，并且与所在国家的组织、资源、现状相一致。

对于这种比较复杂的中文句子，在正式翻译成英文句子之前，应当按照它的含义，将它划分成不同的部分，以便我们确定英文句子的结构。首先将这个中文句子划分成6个部分，请特别注意，第4部分嵌套在第3部分中间。

①每一个人，②作为社会的一个成员，③有权享受 [④其人格和尊严的自由发展所必需的] 社会、经济、文化权利，⑤这些权利是通过国家努力和国际合作来实现的，⑥并且与所在国家的组织、资源、现状相一致。

这样划分之后，可以初步决定，将第4、5、6部分翻译成三个定语从句，用来修饰第3部分的最后一个单词rights：

①Everyone

②as a member of society

③is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights

④which are necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity

⑤which are realized through national effort and international cooperation

⑥which are concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.

不过，在英语中，通常是一个定语从句修饰一个名词，很少有三个定语从句修饰一个名词，因此我临时决定，将第4部分改写成一个短语，将第5、6部分合并成一个定语句子，请看：

①Everyone

②as a member of society

③is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights

④necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity

⑤which are realized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.

最后，将这5个部分组合起来，就是这个中文句子的英文译文。

Everyone, as a member of society, is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity, which are realized through national effort and international cooperation and concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country.

另提供一版本如下：

Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.
