Several points for attention in the translation of classical Chinese sentence patterns

First of all, we should pay attention to some problems when translating classical Chinese sentence patterns.

1. Discriminatory sentence

A judgment sentence is a sentence that makes a positive or negative judgment on the nature, situation and relationship of things. The most striking feature of the classical Chinese judgment sentence is that it is basically not expressed by the judgment sentence "yes".

There are five kinds of common judgments:

(1) Use "zhe" or "ye" to express judgment. If it is "like this"

② Adverbs "Nai", "Ze", "Namely", "Du" and "Er" are used to express judgment;

③ Use "for" and "yes" to express judgment;

④ Use negative words such as "Fei", "Mo" and "Nothing" to express negative judgment;

⑤ Direct judgment. When translating this kind of questions, the judgment sentence must be translated into the format of the judgment sentence, which is often a marking point of this kind of sentence.

Find out the neglected parts

Component ellipsis is a common phenomenon in classical Chinese, and the omitted components usually include: subject, object, prepositional object and so on. In classical Chinese, some omitted elements do not need to be translated, but some omitted elements must be translated to make the meaning complete.

The whole. There are four kinds of common ellipsis sentences: ① Omitting the subject; ② Omit the predicate; ③

Omit the object; ④ Omit prepositions. When translating ellipsis sentences, the components of ellipsis sentences should be

Make it up,

The third step is to identify the prepositional object.

The translation of prepositional objects must adjust the inverted word order to the normal word order, … and then carry out translation. Pay special attention to identifying three situations in prepositional object sentences:

① When pronouns are used as objects in negative sentences, the objects are often advanced;

(2) wHen pronouns are used as objects (who, Hu, he, An, Yan, etc. In interrogative sentences, the object often comes first.

(3) When there is a preposition object marker "Zhi" or a fixed sentence "Wei ... Yes ...", the object often comes first.
