　　減譯法詳解

　　減譯法：由于英漢兩種語言在語法結構、表達方式以及修辭手段上的不同，有些詞語或句子成分在英語中是必不可少的，但若搬到譯文中去，就會影響譯文的簡潔和通順。因此在英譯漢的過程中，為了使譯文更加簡練，更符合漢語的表達習慣，需要省略一些可有可無或翻譯后反嫌累贅的詞語。但必須注意，減譯不是刪掉原文中的某些內容，在不易減譯的情況下，不要隨便減。

　　1)省略代詞。如:

　　We are pleased to have received your invitation to the symposium on internet.非常高興收到你寄來的參加互聯(lián)網會議的邀請。(省略代詞“我們”)

　　If the chain reaction went on without being checked, it could cause a terrible explosion.如果連鎖反應不加控制，就可能引起可怕的爆炸。(省略代詞it, it在這里代表the chain reaction)

　　This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.這種困境將是確定無疑的，因為能源的匱乏使農業(yè)無法以高能量消耗、投入少數農民就可能獲得高產的美國耕種方式繼續(xù)下去了。(原文中兩處代詞it均為形式賓語，)(示范)

　　It was stipulated that the goods should be delivered in three days.規(guī)定三天后發(fā)貨。(it是形式主語，that是先行詞)

　　2)省略冠詞。如:

　　The volume of a gas increase more quickly than that of a liquid.氣體體積增加的速度比液體快。

　　3)省略連詞。如:

　　When the pressure gets low, the boiling-point becomes low.氣壓低，沸點就低。(連詞when可以不譯)

　　Henry had worked in a bank for years, and then he went to study in MIT.亨利在一家銀行工作了幾年，然后去麻省理工大學學習去了。

　　4)省略介詞。如:

　　5)省略名詞。如:　Perhaps you have overlooked the fact that your account for May purchases has not yet been settled.也許你忘記了五月份的購貨款還沒有結算。(fact后面引導的是一個同位語從句，可以不譯)

　　6)省略動詞。如:
