First, I shall investigate the function of the subclauses in the corpus in relation to their complexity, and I shall establish whether there is a correlation between sentence length and sentence complexity.Second, I shall analyse the complexity of the subclauses collected from the two sections and compare the results from these sections, focusing on finite subclauses and non-finite subclauses. I hope to be able to point out some differences in style between the news and sports sections concerning the use of subordinate clauses in various syntactic functions in order to examine how the choice of linguistic structures differs in different sections of The Times.展开更多

The most typical features of this kind of sentences are the comprehensive use of different subordinate clauses and the flexible use of all kinds of prepositional phrases and participle phrases, which lead to complex sentence structures and varied constituent relationships, and bring great difficulties to English-Chinese translation practice. The paper concludes that, in the translation of long and complex English sentences, the translator should first figure out the logic relationship of the original text, and then, according to the Chinese expression customs, make a flexible use of various translation methods and techniques, and finally he can get a faithful and smooth translated text.展开更多

There are at least two or three modifiers involving no less than one subordinate clause in an English long complex sentence. There are at least twenty words and three or four comparatively independent phrases that are connected together by meaning in a Chinese sentence. The differences between them are the rules of making sentences and the structure. In my paper I also talk about how to translate long sentences, and here are the rules: a) break the formal structure; b) reorganize every part according to the habits of the receptor language. If we can master the rules, we can translate the English and Chinese long sentences better.展开更多
