2、等。汉语没有词形变化，但可以几个动词连用。因此，英语中不少词类（尤其是名词、前置词、形容词、副词）在汉译时往往可以转译成动词。（一） 名词转译成动词英语中大量由动词派生的名词和具有动作意义的名词以及其他名词往往可转译成汉语动词。1.由动词派生的名词转译成动词,在政论文体中较常见1)One after another, speakers called for the downfall of imperialism, abolition of exploitation of man by man, liberation of the oppressed of the world. 发言人一个接一个

4、失败了：美国坚持有权视察苏方战略武器现场，而苏联则拒绝这样做。3）The 1967 UN document calls for the settlement of the Middle East conflict on the basis of Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories and Arab acknowledgment of Israelis right to exist.一九六七年联合国文件要求在以色列撤出所占的土地以及阿拉伯承认以色列的生存权利的基础上来解决中东冲突。4）Rockets have found applicatio
5、n for the exploration of the universe.火箭已经用来探索宇宙。2含有动作意味的名词（在叙述、描写文体中出现比较多）往往可以中公考研，双十一优惠:http:/ 报名专线：400-6300-966转译成动词。1） The sight and sound of our jet planes filled me with special longing.看到我们的喷气式飞机，听见隆隆的机声，令我特别向往。2） As the week drew to a close, the enemy rout was complete.一周快结束时，敌人彻底溃退了。3） A gl

7、后缀-er 的名词，如 teacher,thinker等等，有时在4中公考研学员专用资料 版权所有 翻印必究句中并不指其身份和职业，而是含有较强的动作意味。在汉语中没有恰当的对应名词时，往往可以译成动词。2)I am afraid I cant teach you swimming.

9、， “宽恕者” ，“汇报者” ，既不符合原文的含义，又不符合汉语表达习惯，所以应该转换成动词。但 She is a well-known singer一句中的”singer”确实是指她的职业，所以只能译成名词：“她是一位著名的歌唱家” 。而Some of my class-mates are good singers,这句中的 singers显然中公考研，双十一优惠:http:/ 报名专线：400-6300-966不是指他们的职业，所以应该译成动词：我们班同学中有些人唱歌唱得很好。4.作为习语主体的名词往往可以转译成动词，如 To have a rest和To have a good look
