不愛(ài)女人、美酒和音樂(lè)的人只好一輩子當(dāng)傻瓜了。

(ii) I have no hesitation to agree that I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of.

我亳不猶豫地承認(rèn)我是一個(gè)不可知論者；我決不佯裝我懂得許多無(wú)知者自以為懂得的東西。

2. 主語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)移

雙語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)換中常需轉(zhuǎn)移主語(yǔ)以利行文：

(i) 天才的百分之一是靈感，百分之九十九是汗水。

Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

(ii) 作者掌握了該學(xué)科的基本理論，這一點(diǎn)是沒(méi)有問(wèn)題的。

The author's grasp of the rudiments of the thoery of the subject is unquestionable.

漢語(yǔ)句短，語(yǔ)流呈板塊型擴(kuò)展式。這時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移主語(yǔ)，擇善而從，可以舉綱張目，加強(qiáng)句子的組織性。這一點(diǎn)對(duì)漢譯外至關(guān)重要。如：

(iii)如今，做個(gè)大丈夫也有他的難處。譬如吵嘴，你就是有理，卻也只能裝著無(wú)理，拱手告降。

One of the embarrassments of being a good husband today is that you are not permitted to defend yourself in a quarrel and have to go down on your knees pretending that you are not on the right side.

3. 重心轉(zhuǎn)移

雙語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)換中句首重心與句尾重心往往不需要轉(zhuǎn)換。比如，當(dāng)英語(yǔ)說(shuō)“Figures don't lie. ”時(shí)，重心似乎在“don't lie”，譯成漢語(yǔ)“數(shù)字是不會(huì)撒謊的”，重心也是判斷語(yǔ)“不會(huì)撒謊”，因?yàn)闈h語(yǔ)的判斷句中判斷詞后是重心。但是，英語(yǔ)句子“Extremes meet, as the whiting said with its tail in its mouth.”(Thomas Hood)的漢譯則是“正像鱈魚(yú)把自己的尾巴塞進(jìn)嘴里時(shí)說(shuō)的，這叫做‘兩極相通’”，重心由句首轉(zhuǎn)移到了句尾。

英語(yǔ)以“be”為聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞的句子漢譯時(shí)表語(yǔ)很可能要與主語(yǔ)作位置轉(zhuǎn)移，這時(shí)也常常帶來(lái)重心的微差。比如：“To do each day two things one dislikes is a percept I have followed scrupulously： everyday I have got up and I have gone to bed. ”（S. Maugham)“我有一條恪守不移的成規(guī)：每天做兩件我最不樂(lè)意做的事：起身和上床”。另外例如：“Cooking is not like life. If you get a bad meal, you don't have to eat it.”漢譯的重心轉(zhuǎn)移了：“生活可不像做菜：一個(gè)菜沒(méi)有燒好，你可以不吃?！?/p>
