(2) On her once familiar street, as in any unused channel, an unfamiliar queerness had silted up; a cat wove itself in and out of railings, but no human eye watched Mrs Drover's return.

(4) The recruitment of Chinese labor was not universally accepted in racially conscious 1(世博英文翻譯公司)9th century America and some white workers were unsettled by their appearance in large numbers.
在種族意識(shí)十分強(qiáng)的1(世博英文翻譯公司)9世紀(jì)的美國(guó)，招募中國(guó)勞工的做法并非普遍為人接受。由于工地上大批出現(xiàn)中國(guó)勞工，某些白人工人感到心緒不寧。（在連詞and處切分）
C. 主從復(fù)合句的分譯
英語復(fù)合句漢譯時(shí)常在分句連接處加以切分，分譯成兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的句子。例如：
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)) One day, while out on the bleak moors, Pip is startled by a hulking, menacing man who threatens him if he does not bring him some food immediately.
匹普外出在陰冷的荒原上游蕩時(shí)，一個(gè)魁梧、兇狠的男子把他嚇了一跳。這個(gè)男子威脅他，讓他立即為他送些食物來。（在who引導(dǎo)的從句前切分）

D. 其他情況的分譯
有些長(zhǎng)句的翻譯得根據(jù)具體情況、意群的分布等進(jìn)行靈活處理，合理進(jìn)行切分，使譯文層次分明，觀點(diǎn)明確。例如：
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)) Suddenly the door bursts open and the Time Traveler appears, dirty, disheveled, and bedraggled, with a nasty cut on his chin.
突然，門猛然開了，時(shí)間旅行家出現(xiàn)。他十分骯臟，衣冠不整，滿身是泥，下巴頦被嚴(yán)重劃傷。（在appear后切分）
(2) The boy and the woman were already seated by spread table-cloth when the man came down to them, dressed in his business suit and vest and tie and hat as if he expected to meet someone along the way.

(3(世博北京翻譯公司))在元朝時(shí)期，杭州成為東南重鎮(zhèn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮，風(fēng)景優(yōu)美，被意大利旅行家馬可?波羅贊嘆為“世界上最美麗華貴的天城”。
During the yuan dynasty, hangzhou was established as a town of strategic importance in southest china, with a flourishing economy and beautiful scenery, being, in the words of the Italian traveler Marco polo, the “most beautiful and luxurious city in the world.”
二、合并
一般說來，英語句子要比漢語句子長(zhǎng)，英譯漢時(shí)切分用得較多；但是較口語化的英語句子也比較短，英譯漢時(shí)有時(shí)也得用合并。漢譯英時(shí)，漢語的幾個(gè)句子可合并成一個(gè)英語句子。有時(shí)漢語詞組不一定很長(zhǎng)，但相應(yīng)得英語詞組會(huì)顯得很長(zhǎng)，這時(shí)也可有意識(shí)地將長(zhǎng)詞組緊縮為短詞組。英譯漢的合并常用于以下二種情況：
（一） 簡(jiǎn)單句與簡(jiǎn)單句的合并
把原文中的兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的簡(jiǎn)單句合并成一個(gè)句子。例如：
(1(世博英文翻譯公司)) She is intelligent, ambitious and hard-working. She is also good at solving problems.
她很有才智、雄心勃勃、工作努力，還善于解決問題。（兩句合一）
(2) The door was unlocked. She went inside and sat in a stupor. She was near collapse, barely able to move her swollen feet.
門沒鎖上，她走了進(jìn)去，呆呆地坐了下來，極度的衰弱幾乎使她無力挪動(dòng)她那紅腫的雙腳。（三句合一）
(3(世博北京翻譯公司)) I pulled up a chair and sat down. I sat with my legs wide apart at first. But this struck me as being irreverent and too familiar. So I put my knees together and let my hands rest loosely on them.
