4．下大雨了。It is raining cats and dogs. 5．从武汉到上海有一千多里路。It is one thousand li from Wuhan to Shanghai. 二、译成被动句: 汉语无主句译成英语被动句同样可以使句子保持完整。1．实施科教兴国战略取得新进展，各项社会事业全面进步。Fresh progress was made in implementing the strategy of developing the country through science, technology and education and all social undertakings developed. 2．大力推进新的农业科技革命。加强基础研究和应用基础研究。搞好国家重点实验室建设。Great efforts will be made to promote the new agricultural technological revolution.

[4]曲曲折折的荷塘上面，弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高，象亭亭的舞女的裙。[5]层层的叶子中间，零星地点缀着些白花，有袅娜地开着的，有羞涩地打着朵儿的；正如一粒粒的明珠，又如碧天里的星星。[6]微风过处，送来缕缕清香，仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的颤动，象闪电般，霎时传过荷塘的那边去了。叶子本是肩并肩密密地挨着，[7]这便宛然有了一道凝碧的波痕。[8]叶子底下是脉脉的流水，遮住了，不能见一些颜色；而叶子却更见风致了。（朱自清：《荷塘月色》
([1]A path paved （铺，作铺设之用）with coal-dust zigzags along the lotus pond so secluded as to be little frequented in the daytime, to say nothing of its loneliness at night.[2]Around the pond grows profusion（大量，丰富） of luxuriant （繁茂的，丰饶的）trees. [3]On one side of the path are some willows and other trees whose names are unknown to me. On moonless nights, the place has a gloomy, somewhat forbidding （可怕的，令人生畏的）appearance.

Their subtle （稀薄的，不浓的，精巧的）fragrance was wafted （吹送，飘送）by the passing breeze, in whiffs（ [空气，烟]一吸，一吹）airy as the notes of a song coming faintly from some distance tower. There was a tremor on the leave and flower, which , with the suddenness of lightening, soon drifted to the far end of the pond.[7]The leaves, jostling （推撞，拥挤，贴近）and overlapping, produced, as it were, a wave of deep green. [8]Under the leaves, softly hidden from view, water was rippling （起细浪，波动）even its color was not discernible（看得清的，辨得出的） so that the leaves looked more enchanting.）
第八节 汉语重复的处理
英国系统功能语法创始人韩礼德(M.A.K.Halliday)早在1962年就提出“衔接”(cohesion)的概念。在功能语法理论体系里，重复被看成实现语篇衔接功能的手段之一。韩礼德在早期的理论中区分了结构性衔接（语法衔接）和词汇性衔接。后者分为词汇重复和词汇集。英语的衔接划分为照应、省略、代替、连接和词汇衔接五大类：（1）照应（reference）：是指人称代词，指示代词等的使用。（2）替代(substitution)：主要是指代动词do，以及one, the same这类词，以及答语中的so, nor等。（3）省略(ellipsis)：指名词性词组，动词，小句的省略等。（4）连接(conjunction)：指虚词and, but及句间连接手段in that case, of course, anyway等。（5）词汇衔接(lexical cohesion)：主要是泛指词，重复等。 1． 替换

stressed expansion of the productive forces under socialism, without mentioning the need to liberate them through reform. That conception was incomplete.）（用代词替换）
秦怀河里的船，比北京万生园，颐和园的船好，比西湖的船好，比扬州瘦西湖的船好。这几处的船不是觉着笨，就是觉着简陋，局促；都不能引起乘客门的情韵，如秦淮河里的船一样。秦怀河里的船约略可分为两种-----（The ships on the Qinhuai are better than those in Beijing‘s Myriad Creature Garden and Summer Palace and Hangzhou‘s West Lake, better than those on Yangzhou‘s Shouxi Lake. The vessels in those places are either clumsy or crude and cramped, less inviting than those on the Qinhuai, which fall roughly into two categories.）
五四运动是在当时世界革命号召下，是在俄国革命号召之下，是在列宁号召之下发生的。五四运动是当时无产阶级革命的一部分。（The May 4th Movement came into being at the call of the world revolution, of the Russian Revolution and of Lenin. It was part of the world proletarian revolution of the time.）
土地和谷物是人们赖以生存的根本。祭社稷便是表示人们对土地和谷物的敬重。(The earth and cereals sustain the life of human beings and hence ceremonies were held to pay respect for them.) 双方愿意与联合国及其专门机构密切合作，为提高联合国的工作效率而努力。（The two sides express the readiness to step up their close cooperation with the UN and its specialized agencies toward greater efficiency of the organization.）（用别的名词或其他词语替换）
（一个世纪以来，中国人民在前进的道路上经历了三次历史性的巨大变化---）第一次是辛亥革命，---第二次是中华人民共和国的成立，---第三次是改革开放。（The first change was represented by the Revolution of 1911. The second change was marked by the founding of the People‘s Republic of China. The third change was featured by the reform, opening up.）（换用同义词或近义词）
封建社会代替奴隶社会，资本主义社会代替封建主义社会，社会主义经历一个过程发展后必然代替资本主义。（Feudal society replaced slave society, capitalism supplanted feudalism, and, after a long time, socialism will necessarily supersede capitalism.）
2.合并
（1）发展新兴产业和高技术产业——把开发新技术，新产品，新产业同开拓市场结合起来，把发展技术密集型产业和劳动密集型产业结合起来。（We should develop rising and high-tech industries---, combine the efforts to develop new technologies, products and industries with the efforts to open up markets and integrate the development of technology-intensive with labour-intensive industries.）
（2）继续开展打击走私犯罪、打击骗取出口退税和逃汇骗汇、打击制售假冒伪劣商品等各项斗争，全面整顿商品市场、金融市场、资本市场、建筑市场，规范经营秩序。(We will continue the fight against smuggling, fraudulent export tax debate, evasion of foreign exchange repayment and obtaining foreign exchange under false pretense and production and sale of fake and shoddy goods. Building on their base, we will rectify the commodity, financial, capital, construction and cultural product markets in all-round way and to standardize order in business operations. (3)搞好重点商品、重点市场、重点地区大案要案的清查。(We should investigate key commodities, markets and areas to clear up major cases.) （4）增强自立意识、竞争意识、效率意识、民主意识和开拓创新意识。（Increase the awareness about self-reliance, competition, efficiency, and democracy and the rule of law, as well as the pioneering and innovation spirit.）
(5)五四运动是反帝国主义的运动，又是反封建的运动。五四运动的杰出的历史意义，在于它带着为辛亥革命还不曾有的姿态，这就是彻底地不妥协地反帝国主义和彻底地不妥协地反封建主义。(The May 4th Movement was an anti-imperialist as well an anti-feudal movement. Its outstanding historical significance is to be seen in a feature which was absent from the Revolution of 1911, namely, its thorough and uncompromising opposition to imperialism as well as to feudalism.) 3．省略 （1）“沉默啊！沉默！不在沉默中爆发就在沉默中灭亡。”（Silence! Silence! Unless we burst out, we shall perish in this silence.） （2）“好哇，大风，你就使劲地刮吧。你现在刮得越大，秋后的雨水就越充足。刮吧，使劲得刮吧，刮来个丰收的好年景，刮来个富强的好日子”。（All right, wind! Roar as hard as you like. The stronger you blow now, the more rain we will get in autumn. Come on! You‘ll give a good harvest and bring us a good life.）
