同位语从句有以下五种翻译方法：①可以直接翻译在所修饰词后面。②放在所修饰的名词前面，充当定语。③译成独立句子：先翻译主句，然后用“就是……”或者“即……”引导出同位语从句，或者把同位语从句译成独立的句子，由冒号或破折号引出。④用代词指代：先把同位语从句中的内容翻译出来，在后面用“这”或“那”等代词复指它，参加句子主体的构成。⑤译成宾语 ：把同位语从句修饰的名词转译成动词，而把同位语从句译成宾语。【真题例句】What is harder to establish is whether the productivity revolution that businessmen assume they are presiding over is for real.【解析】句子可拆分为：What is harder to establish is //whether the productivity revolution //that businessmen assume //they are presiding over// is for real.主句为What is harder to establish is whether the productivity revolution is for real。主句包含两个从句成分：从句what is harder to establish做主语；whether the productivity revolution is for real作表语；that they are presiding over为定语从句修饰the productivity revolution;此定语从句中businessmen assume为主谓结构的插入语。以what, whatever, whoever, whether, when, where, how, why等词引导的主语从句及表语从句在翻译的时候，一般可以按照英语原文顺序来翻译。【参考译文】难以确定的是，商界人士认为他们所主导的生产力革命是否真的存在。 |
