六级冲刺备考的翻译技巧（14）

　　25. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels，bringing to our attention in the　process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon　Johnsons Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. （4）注意：bring A to B 〉bring to B A

　　《黑人小说》考察了极为广泛的一系列小说，在此过程中让我们注意到了某些引人入胜但却鲜为人知的作品，如詹姆斯。韦尔登。约翰逊（James Weldon Johnson）的《一个曾经是有色人的自传》（Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man）。 难句类型：倒装

　　解释：在以bringing开头的作状语的分词中出现了倒装，bring A to B被倒装为bring to B A,其倒装的原因仍是为了避免头重脚轻，正常的语序应该如下：bringing some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon johnsons Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man to our attention in the process.

　　意群训练：Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels， bringing to our attention in the　process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon　Johnsons Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man.

　　26. Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths， where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated，to pass through，they absorb some of the longer-wavelength，infrared emissions radiated from the Earths surface，radiation that would　otherwise be transmitted back into space. 虽然这些分子允许可见波长（visible wavelength）的辐射阳光的大部分能量就汇集于此不受阻挡地穿透，但它们却会吸收某些较长波长（longer-wavelength），亦即从地球表面辐射出的红外发射（infrared emission），这种辐射若不是二氧化碳的缘故就会被重新输送回太空。

　　难句类型：复杂修饰、抽象词

　　解释：前面的分句中有一个不算很长的插入语，但是因为它插入的位置正好在固定搭配allow something to do somthing中间，将allow和to分得很远，以读起来让人感觉很不舒服。

　　后面的分句中的最后一行radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space是其前面的infrared emissions的同位语。其中的otherwise是副词作状语，表示如果后面的分句说的they absorb some of the longer-waverlength, infrared emissions不发生时的后果。

　　意群训练：Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths， where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated， to pass through， they absorb some of the longer-wavelength， infrared emissions radiated from the Earths surface， radiation that would　otherwise be transmitted back into space。
