indd2018-10-17下午1:5021TRANSLATIONSKILLS调整语序法调整语序法是指在英汉翻译时,将原文的某种语序在译文中根据目标语言表达习惯进行调整的翻译方法.
对于主语从句,其语序通常与汉语一致,此时无须调整语序,采用顺译法按原文句子结构进行翻译即可,例如Whetherhewouldsupportusremainsunknown.
可顺译为"他是否会支持我们仍然是未知的".
但是,当句子的构成是"it形式主语+主语从句"时,就需要根据汉语的表达习惯,在翻译过程中将句子进行调整和组合以使译文更加通顺.
在这一句子结构中,主语从句通常是由that/whether引导的句子或不定式构成,翻译时宜将从句置于主句之前;此外,翻译that引导的主语从句,可适当在主句的译文前加上"这"以指代从句的内容.
例如:Isittruethathe'sthebossofthecompany他是公司的老板,这是真的吗Itisnocoincidencethatsomeofthepracticalideasthathavemostchangedourworld,suchastheInternet,camedirectlyoutofuniversitiesandcolleges.

indd2618-10-17下午1:5027TranslationofthetextsiExplore1来自一位教授的几点建议1每年的这个时候,当刚从高中毕业的学生们即将开始全新旅程时,身为大学教授和大学生家长的我总会思绪万千.
在接下来的几个星期里,稚气未脱的大一新生们将会在校园里到处走走逛逛,看起来既年轻又困惑.
2"请问伯丁楼在哪儿呢"一位看起来特别年轻的大一新生问我.
3"就是你身后的那栋楼.
"我微笑着回答,心里明白在接下来的几天里都会有人问我同样的问题.

4家长和学生们会紧张、兴奋,为缴费发愁,如此等等,因为这是一个巨大的转变.
那么大学教授们对此又是怎么想的呢虽然不能代表所有同事的看法,但我确实想要给即将上大学的学生及其家长一些建议.
首先是对学生们的一些建议:5不要有太大的压力,尤其在面对分数的时候.
第一个学期也许会有点难熬,因为要经历从高中向大学的过渡阶段.
特别是修AP课程的同学们,你们需要注意的是不要因为分数而产生压力.
如果之前的老师告诉你们大学课程和AP课程是一样的话,那纯粹是欺骗.
它们并不一样,大学课程的难度更大,也更全面.

如果你们就读的是研究型大学,那么你们将会和那些著书和写文章的人一起学习,他们教给你们的东西也会基于他们自己及他人的研究.
这的确是有挑战性的.
6不必对教职人员心怀畏惧.
没错,我们都有博士学位,但是我们愿意帮助你们学习.
教授们会非常忙碌,因为教课只是我们工作的一部分.
研究型大学的教授们通常都会有持续性的研究项目,这些项目基本都需要研究生以及博士后们来监管,而且我们的很多时间都花在了写东西及收集数据上.
你们要充分利用这一点;在办公时间拜访你们的教授,看看如何能参与他们的研究.
教师通常都很乐意有人帮忙,也想要本科生参与研究,而且他们也真的很爱谈论他们的工作.
7学会利用眼前的教育机会.
在大学里要享受乐趣,但是你们上大学的目的还是学习.
要利用好图书馆、教师以及其他资源,从大学获取一切可能的收获.
8在选择专业的时候,不要被他人左右,包括你们的父母.
每年总会有一两个学生告诉我,迫于父母的要求,他们选择了医学预科班,但是他们自己却讨厌这个专业.
这是你们的生活,要明白你们想做什么,学习你们自己感兴趣的东西.
另外,如果真的不想成为一名医生的话,(就算去学)你可能也并不会做得很好,而且肯定不会快乐.
9不要直接称呼教授的名字,除非他们主动请你们这样做.
写邮件的时候要用正确的语法、拼写以及大小写.
第一印象很重要,并且你们的教授有可能就是未来给你们写推荐信的人.
要去了解他们,但是要有礼貌.
10父母们,这里也有几点请你们记住:U1.
indd2718-10-17下午1:502811不要干涉你们的孩子.
要让他们自己去探索大学生活,允许他们犯错.
他们会从那些错误中吸取教训,并在这个过程中成长.
不要总是围着他们转,不停地检查他们有没有洗衣服,或者是不是在学习.
应该鼓励他们把事情做好,但不要对他们施加太大的压力.
曾有一个学生告诉我,他父亲警告他,如果各科成绩的平均积分点低于3.
5的话,就会切断他的经济来源.
这并不是支持你们孩子的方式,因为他们正在努力适应一个全新又不同的生活方式,学习应对一系列复杂的要求.
12如果你的孩子分数低,不要给教授打电话或者发邮件——这很可能就是他们的真实水平,如果不是,你要让孩子自己去找教授解决这个问题.
此外,你的孩子在高中成绩全优并不意味着在大学也是如此,因为大学的要求比高中高得多.
13最后,家长和学生们都要认识到,大学提供了一个极好的机会,能够让学生们花上四年的时间在创建知识的地方学习.
学生们能够接触很多新的想法,他们对于世界的预想也常会受到深度挑战.
这是件好事,因为这会促使他们成长,使他们更有能力去应对我们身处的复杂世界.
iExplore2大学辍学者的成功神话:为什么却让数以百万的美国年轻人更加贫穷1一个越来越为人所知又十分吸引人的说法正在流传:有些年轻人从亿万富翁创业者和计算机巨头身上汲取灵感,认为从大学辍学是通向商业成功的一条捷径.
2乔布斯、盖茨、戴尔等人的名字为极其成功的大学辍学神话增添了明星效应.

《纽约时报》最近的一篇报道把这种现象比作"背井离乡去掘金".
一位年轻的高管表示大学辍学在创业公司的创业者里"几乎是荣誉的象征".
正如其他神话一样,这个故事确实有几分道理:的确有不少杰出人士,他们的勤奋、决心和智慧弥补了没有大学学位的不足.
那么就有人会想,如果他们能做到,为什么其他人不能呢3然而,这个问题忽略了这些卓越的辍学创业者和创新者的特殊性.
4通常,这些人之所以能取得如此高的成就,靠的是他们在进大学前就已经具备的技能.
他们知道如何进行自我教育,如何获得银行贷款,以及如何管理时间与金钱.
他们得益于家庭、朋友、熟人构成的关系网络,这些人能为他们打开机会之门,并且提供安全保障.
5但是对于没有这些重要资源的年轻人,辍学之后又会发生什么呢对他们来说,不上大学去追求商业成功,就如同把存款投进彩票以期成为百万赢家,或者一心期待自己成为美国职业篮球联赛超级明星一样.

然而现实是,下一个大学辍学者并不会成为勒布朗·詹姆斯,詹姆斯·卡梅隆,或者马克·扎克伯格.
他可能就像千千万万其他大学辍学者一样,并不会被媒体所报道.
在美国,有3,400万超过25岁的年轻人拥有大学学分却没能取得大学文凭.
这个群体的数量几乎和加利福尼亚州的人口一样大,其失业的可能性比拿到大学文凭的人高71%,且偿还学生贷款的可能性要低四倍.
他们的收入远不能让他们成为百万富翁,甚至比大学毕业生的平均收入还要低32%.
U1.
indd2818-10-17下午1:50296绝大多数的孩子,尤其是那些来自于贫困家庭的孩子,需要大学教育来改善他们的处境.
实际上,加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校最近的一份研究发现,那些最没有可能进入大学的人,包括来自贫困家庭的孩子,是从大学教育中受益最大的.
7这些学生没有选择常春藤盟校或硅谷的机会,也没有获得贝宝创始人彼得·蒂尔为20岁以下的学生提供10万美金奖学金,让他们离校进行为期两年创业的资助项目.
对于这些学生来说,大学并不是一个选择,而是通往未来机遇的一个至关重要的垫脚石.
大学是一个能让整个家庭获得更好前景的平台.
最近另一份报告显示,每一个学位——从副学士到博士学位——都会让工资日益增高,无一例外.

8大学为年轻人提供了成功的智力资本以及社会资本,帮助他们建立联系和关系网,以及建立能够维持一生的关系.
大学让他们学会分析与推理,收获信心,让他们能够自信地表达且接受新的思想.
大学也可以转变学生们的观点,向他们展示不同的文化和世界观,以及看待并解决世界上一些复杂问题的不同方式.
