4. 状语部分
英语中的状语部分，有时是介词或连词短语，有时是从句。
英语的状语部分位置和汉语中的状语位置有时不同，考生做题时要符合汉语表达方式将它提前。故可采用逆向
翻译法，即先译后面内容，再译前面的。
例（1）But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.
【分析】此句中，重点考的是对“almost as well……as they did with it”部分的
翻译。首先要分析出句子结构，主语是that引导的同位语从句，谓语是“is”,宾语“victory”。As well … as 则可将其调为“as well as they did with it without government”。这样，整个句子各部分分清楚之后，
翻译时把相应状语提前，整个句子表达就通顺了。
【译文】但是，对许多人而言，穷人象以往一样在没有政府救济的情况下，生活照样过得很好，这一事实本身就是一个巨大的胜利。
例（2）What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose profession identity(身份)than to step out of uniform?
【分析】此句只要把“for…,or a waiter” 这个状语提前，整个句子结构就容易看出：for…，what easier way is there to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
【译文】对于一名护士、一名警察、一为理发师或一名侍者而言，还有什么比脱掉制服更加便利的方法能让他们失去职业身份呢？
5.同位语从句
同位语从一般都较长，先将该从句用顺译法或合成法（视具体情况而定）译成一独立分句，然后前面的先行词视具体情况取舍或安排。
例（1）We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
【分析】此句重点考that引导的同位语从句译法，该从句中还套用一个who引导的定语从句。可以把that引导的同位语从句单独译成一分句。
【译文】给我们留下极深印象的事实是：甚至那些没有被告知严重病情的疾人，对其疾病的潜在后果也是非常清楚的.
例（2）But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well as without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.
【分析】该句是一个that引导的同位语从句作主语，先将that后面内容
翻译出来，然后把“the fact”调到后面作is主语。
【译文】对许多人而言，穷人象以往一样在没有政府救济的情况下，生活照样过得很好，这一事实本身就是一个巨大的胜利。
