He le arnt to write sentences that fall away on the ear with a mis ty languor and it delighted him so much that he could nev er have enough of it. 55． "when" 引导状语从句有时并不好译，不能一看到 when 从句就考虑译为 "当⋯⋯ 的时候 " ，它还有许多种 译法。 Anything is better than not to write clearly.

This is a risk that is well worth t aking when you reflect how much better it is to be bold th an to wear a curly wig. 56． "not ⋯ because ⋯"，有时可否定前面，有时可否定 because本身，往往出现歧义。应根据上下文面判定。 In 1600 the earth was not the center of the universe becau se the majority then supposed it was; nor, because she had more readers, was Ella wheeler Wilcox a better poet than Father Hopkins. 57． "so ⋯ that,such ⋯ that"是一个普通的句型，但在同 一个句子里有两处使用它却比较少见。 The truth is, that in one point of view, this matter of natio 更多资料请看 :http://bbs.rrenglish.com 点点论坛：国内最好的大学生英语社区之一 http://bbs.diandian.net 4 nal literature has come to such a pass with us, that in som e sense we must turn bullies, else the day is lost, or superi ority so far beyond us, that we can hardly say it will ever be ours. 58 ． "by doing ⋯"结 构 。 这 个 结 构 的 意 思 是 " 通 过 （做） ⋯⋯"，但翻译实践中不能拘泥于这种释义，不 少情况下需要灵活变通。 The hippos, by depositing dung in the water, fed the fish t hat support the storks that destroy the rare trees. 59． 下面例句为一倒装句，主语很长，而且又含有非 常复杂的句型。这是以形容词作表语的倒装，翻译实 践中多把倒装部分译到最前面。 No less obvious is the fact there are great numbers of peo ple so constituted or so brought up that they cannot get so much pleasure out of processes and experiences resulting in a poorer life less full of meaning. 60． "what ⋯ of"句型 I can not say of myself what Johnson said of Pope: He ne ver passed a fault unamended by indifference, nor quitted it by despair. I do not write as I do; I write as I can. 61．英语的一个习惯用法是： 当否定谓语 think（believe） 时，实际上是否定其后面的宾语从句。否定就落在宾 语从句上。这样宾语从句就变成了双重否定，译时可 以按双重否定译，也可按肯定来译。 It is a valuable work. I do not think anyone writes so well that he cannot learn much from it. 62． "to have not ⋯ (as) to see ⋯"中的不定式也有否定意 味。 He had not the good breeding to see that simplicity and na turalness are the truest marks of distinction. 63 ． "It occurred to sb. that ⋯"意 为 " 突 然 想 到 " ， "It dawned on sb.that ⋯ "."突然想起 " 等。 从句是想起的 内容。 I remember once being on a bus and looking at a stranger.
