上海翻譯公司譯境翻譯是一家有資質(zhì)的翻譯公司，下面整理的詞組和句式可以讓你的翻譯增色不少哦。

1.all＋抽象名詞/抽象名詞＋itself ＝ very + adj. 
He was all gentleness to her.他對(duì)她非常溫存。 
To his superiors, he is humility itself。對(duì)于長(zhǎng)輩，他極為謙遜。 
分析：該結(jié)構(gòu)原來(lái)是表示某種性質(zhì)達(dá)到極點(diǎn)的一種說(shuō)法，有“非?！?、“盡管”、“一味”、“盡”的含義，有時(shí)甚至可以譯為“。。。。的化身”、“。。。。的具體化”。普通復(fù)數(shù)名詞用于“all”之后，也是表達(dá)這種概念。 
He is all smiles.他一味地笑。 
She is all eyes.她盯著看。 
I am all anxiety.我真擔(dān)心。 
He is all attention.他全神貫注地聽(tīng)著。 
2.Something (much) of / nothing (little) of 
Mr.Li is something of a philospher.李先生略具哲學(xué)家風(fēng)范。 
Mr. Wu is nothing of a musician.吳先生全無(wú)音樂(lè)家的風(fēng)味。 
Mr. Lu is very much of a poet.陸先生大有詩(shī)人氣派。 
Mr.Liu is little of a scholar.劉先生幾無(wú)學(xué)者風(fēng)度。 
分析：此為表示“程度”的形容詞短語(yǔ)，有時(shí)可以當(dāng)作副詞翻譯。 
Something of ＝to some extent（某程度），在問(wèn)句和條件句中則用anyting of（略有、多少）。nothing of翻譯為“全無(wú)、毫無(wú)”。 
相類(lèi)似的情況： 
to be something of = to have something of + 名詞＋in ＋代名詞 
He is nothing in ability of an orator = He has nothing of an orator in his ability.他毫無(wú)演說(shuō)家的才能。 
這類(lèi)名詞的用法，可以處理為副詞。 
He has seen something of life.他略具閱歷。他稍閱世。 
Something of 與something like區(qū)別：程度上有差異。 
something like ＝ something approximateing in character or amount指數(shù)量或性質(zhì)略同的事物，又作somewhat(似乎、略微)解釋。 
This is something like a pudding.此物略似布丁。 
It shaped something like a cigar.其形狀略似雪茄。 
3.as...as 的三種用法; 
（1）He is as kind as his sister.他象他妹妹一樣和藹。 
（2）He is as kind as honest.他既誠(chéng)實(shí)又和藹。 
（3）He ia as kind as his sister is honest.他妹妹誠(chéng)實(shí)，而他和藹。 
句式1表示兩個(gè)不同的人相同的性質(zhì)； 
句式2表示同一個(gè)人不同的性質(zhì)； 
句式3表示兩個(gè)人的不同性質(zhì)。該句式中第一個(gè)as為之時(shí)副詞，第二個(gè)as為連詞。所以，第一個(gè)as后面為adj./adv.，而第二個(gè)as后面為從句。 
4.as......as any / as .....as ever 
He is as great a statesman as any = He is as great a statesman as ever lived.他是一位稀有的政治家。 
5.as.....as.....can be 
It is as plain as plain can be （may be）.那是再明白不過(guò)了。 
A lot of these boys were green as green can be.這些男孩許多都是精力充沛無(wú)以復(fù)加的。 
6.as......., so............ 
As rust eats iron, so care eats the heart.憂(yōu)能傷人，猶如銹之蝕鐵。 
SO相當(dāng)于in the same proportion; in like manner; in the same way(亦復(fù)如此)。為加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣，也可以在as前面加上just一詞。 
As fire tries gold, so does adversity try courage.正如火能試金，逆境可以試人的勇氣。 
As the human body is nourished by the food, so is a nation nourished by its industries.正像身體要靠食物營(yíng)養(yǎng)一樣，國(guó)家要靠工業(yè)營(yíng)養(yǎng)。 
7.It is in (or with)........as in (or with)......

8.as good as / as well as

（2）virtually; essentially; in every essential respect實(shí)際上；其實(shí)；實(shí)在；在各要點(diǎn)上

（4）可以代替better than 
As well (= better) be hanged for a sheep as ( = than) for a lamb.竊鉤如竊國(guó)，與其盜小羊。 
9.As it is 
其含義為：as it stands; to state the matter as it really stands; as a matter of fact; in reality.相當(dāng)于：實(shí)際上；就實(shí)際情況而言；根據(jù)（現(xiàn)在）情況看；就現(xiàn)在這個(gè)樣子等等。它用來(lái)指事物的單數(shù)；即指前面的單數(shù)名詞。如果指事物的復(fù)數(shù)，則用“As they are”。如果用來(lái)指人時(shí)，則為as I am / you are / she/ he is/ we are / they are.as it is 的過(guò)去式為as it was。其位置可以放在句首，句末或句子中間。 
（1）用于句首，注意前后時(shí)態(tài)與該結(jié)構(gòu)保持一致 
As it is, we can not help him. 
As it was, we could not help him. 
（2）用于句末 
Let's keep it as it is.

（3）句中時(shí)，用逗號(hào)把它從前后隔開(kāi) 
A.虛擬語(yǔ)氣句式＋but ＋as it is / was，該結(jié)構(gòu)意為：其實(shí)；事實(shí)上 
I thought things would get better, but as it is, they are getting worse and worse.

Written as it is in an interesting way, this book is enjoyable to young and old alike. 
Published as it was at such a time, his work attrached much attention. 
C.現(xiàn)在分詞＋ as it does(did)。意為：因?yàn)檫@樣，（實(shí)際）所以.........

幾個(gè)類(lèi)似的結(jié)構(gòu)： 
A. as it stands 根據(jù)目前情況來(lái)看 
As it stands, it is certain that our country can realize the four modernization ahead of schedule. 
B. such as it is不怎么樣，質(zhì)量不過(guò)如此

C. as it were ＝as if it were so.屬虛擬語(yǔ)氣，用于插入語(yǔ)。不可以與as it is 混淆

10.have + the + 抽象名詞 ＋不定式

have = possess原來(lái)指肉體和精神上的特征，現(xiàn)作為一種天賦而具有的。

11.名詞＋of +a +名詞

That old cripple of a Henn.那個(gè)年老的殘廢者亨。 
It would make the deuce of a scandal.這會(huì)弄得聲名狼藉的。 
of前后的名詞指同一人或物體。其中的“名詞＋of”后出現(xiàn)的名詞前面，必須有一個(gè)不定詞，即使是固有名詞，該冠詞也不可省略。 
a devil of a man = a devish man 
a rascal of a fellow = a rascally fellow 
12. in +人 
They have an enemy in him.他才是他們的敵人。 
分析：in = in the person of （在那人身上），表示一個(gè)人身上具有的性質(zhì)、資格、能力等。原來(lái)是由于形狀（與形狀有關(guān)的in，如：in a circle; in print; in a heap; in couples; in human shape; in ruins等）所轉(zhuǎn)來(lái)的，而有“即....是也”、“就是”的含義。這種in多出現(xiàn)在find, see, behold, lose等動(dòng)詞后面。 
He had something of the hero in him. 
China lost a great artist in (the death of ) Chi Paishi. 
13.short of / be short of / nothing short of 
short=except，是副詞的用法。在前面可以使用的動(dòng)詞有：come, fall, run等，表示“不足”、“缺乏”的意思，其中“of”做“from”解釋。至于 be short of 與nothing short of中的“short of”則為形容詞。be short of 表示“不足”或“離開(kāi)”；nothing short of表示“完全”。 
1）Short of theft, I will do anything I can for you. 
2)We are short of hands at present. 
3)His conduct was nothing short of madness.他的行為簡(jiǎn)直發(fā)了狂。 
14.anything but / nothing but / all but 
在英文中anything but＝never;意即“除此之外，別的都是”，是表示強(qiáng)調(diào)的否定； 
nothing but=only;意即“除此之外，別的都不是”； 
all but=almost; nearly 
三種用法中，but都有“except”含義 
15.much more / much less 
He likes a child, much more a baby.他喜歡小孩，更加喜歡嬰孩。 
He doesn't like a child, much less a baby.他步喜歡小孩，更加不喜歡嬰孩。 
解釋?zhuān)?nbsp;
much more用于肯定句之后，表示程度增加；表示更多，much可以改為still 
much less用于否定句之后，表示程度減少；表示更少，可譯為“何況”、“還論” 
16.more........than.......can“達(dá)到不可能的程度” 
morethan................can'簡(jiǎn)直不可能' 
He earns more money than he can spend. 
17.more than +動(dòng)詞，譯為“深為， 十二分的”

What we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits. 
18.less.......than

less.......than“較少”、“較差”、“不及”、“不如”。該less做形容詞時(shí)好翻譯，做副詞解釋時(shí)難譯。 
Proof-reading is not interesting, still less so when it is one's own work. 
Proof-reading is uninteresting, still more so when it is one's own work.

他感興趣地望著她面孔和身體上的一些缺點(diǎn)，那太薄的下唇，畫(huà)的太濃的眉毛和她那瘦弱的雙腿，雖然還沒(méi)有達(dá)到皮包骨頭的程度。 
19.the + 比較級(jí)＋理由 
I like him all the better for his faults.因?yàn)樗腥秉c(diǎn)，所以我更加喜歡他。 
連接“理由”部分的可以為 ：for, because, on account of , owing to等，前面部分常常出現(xiàn)的結(jié)構(gòu)為：all(much)the + 比較級(jí)。該結(jié)構(gòu)中的the = to that degree. 
20.what he is / what he has 
We honour him for what he is , not for what he has. 
我們尊敬的是他的人品，而不是他的財(cái)富。 
what he is ＝his character 
what he has = his property 
It is not a question how much a man knows, but use what he can make of what he knows; not a question of what he has acquired, and how he has been trained, but of what he is, and what he can do. 
問(wèn)題不在于一個(gè)人知道多少，而在于他能否運(yùn)用他的知識(shí)；問(wèn)題不在于他所學(xué)為何，受過(guò)怎樣的教育，而在于他的人品，以及他的能力。 
21.what + 名詞 / what + little + 名詞 
He gave me what money he had about him.他把他身上所有的錢(qián)都給了我。 
I gave him what little mony I had.我竭盡綿薄之力將僅有的錢(qián)都給了他。 
what + 名詞 含有“all the ....that”或“that....which”含義。譯為“所有的。。。?！?，what做關(guān)系代名詞。 
what + little（few等一類(lèi)詞） + 名詞 含有“雖少但全部”或“所僅有的” 
She saved what little money she could out of her slim salary to help her brother go to school. 
22.what with........and what with / what by ...... and what by

what by ...... and what by表示“手段”

2）He has little, if any, money.他即令有錢(qián)，也是極少的。 
if any , if ever意思是“果真有，即令有的話(huà)”，相當(dāng)于if there is (are) any at all.。它通常是伴隨有little, few, seldom等準(zhǔn)否定詞。與此相近的用法還有if anything，意思是“if at all”或“if there is any difference”,可以譯為“倘若有異同，如果稍有區(qū)別的話(huà)”。還有“if a day”意思是“at least”。 
There is little , if any , hope.希望甚微。 
It occurs seldom, if ever( = seldom or never).真有其事，也不常發(fā)生。
