n为忠实原文，翻译时必须正确理解原作者的立场和观点，然后选用恰当的语言手段来加以表达，原文中有些词本身就表示褒贬意义，就应该把褒贬意义相应地表达出来；但也有些词语孤立起来看是中性的，但翻译时要根据上下文恰当地把它们的褒义或贬义表达出来。4.1 本身就是贬褒义的词n nHe was a man of high renown.n n他是位有名望的人。n nHis notoriety as a rake

英语中有些表示知觉、情绪、欲望等心理状态的形容词，作表语时，常可转成汉语动词。这类形容词有：able,afraid,angry,ashamed,aware,anxious,careful,cautious,certain,concerned,confident,doubtful,glad,grateful,ignorant，sorry,thankful等。n nI am very
