英语翻译的十二种方法
(一) 同义反译法
例子：
1. Only three customers remained in the bar.
酒吧间只有三个顾客还没有走。(不译：「还留着早晓得你就是这么一个流浪汉﹗可真没有想到你连贝格纳特和孩子们靠它过活的那一点点财也骗走，」贝格纳特太太说道。
(六) 词无定译
例子：
It is quite useless to ask whether Vanderbilt was criminally prosecuted or civilly sued by the Government. Not only was he unmolested, but two years later, he carried on another huge swindle upon the Government under peculiary heinous conditions.
我们根本不必追问政府是否依据刑法或民法对范德比尔特提出起诉。范德比尔特不仅逍遥法外，而且在两年后又以极其凶恶的手段对政府进展弓一次巨大的诈骗。
(七) 精炼译词
例子：
A new dignity crept into his walk.
原译：走路的姿态不知甚么时候起先给人一种庄重的印象。
改译：走起路来，不觉平添了几分尊严。
(八) 删削"When"字
例子

「你那些女黑奴哭得那么难过，你还拿鞭子没头没脑的抽，把她们打得死去活来，那有甚么用呢？」(不译：当你那些女黑奴哭得那么难过的时候，你还拿鞭子......)
(九) 感慨词的不同译法
