考博英语英语翻译技巧：语态变换法

考博英语中的汉译英题型一般是要求考生能将一篇社会、文化、经济或科技类汉语短文译成英语，要求译文忠实原文，无明显误译、漏译；译文通顺，用词正确、表达基本无误，无明显语法错误；总量为150个左右汉字。该题型难度较大，旨在测试考生汉译英的能力，重点考查考生用英语准确再现汉语原文思想和内容的能力。为帮助大家更好的备考这类翻译题型，小编为大家分享一些翻译技巧，一起来学习下吧。

被动变主动，主动变被动——英语比汉语用更多的被动语态; 英语中用被动语态的句子翻译成汉语时，我们可根据汉语的语言习惯把被动语态转换成主动语态;汉语中用主动语态的句子也可根据具体情况转换成被动语态。

例如：

1、说话时，已摆了茶果上来。

Meanwhile refreshments had been served.

2、我们要逐步推进商业、外贸、金融、保险、证券、电信、旅游和中介服务等领域的对外开放。

Commerce, foreign trade, banking, insurance, securities, telecommunications, tourism and intermediary services should be gradually opened to the outside world.
