11、en thousandths2-1/2two and a half4-2/3four and two-thirds,增/减倍数的口译英汉倍数的表达有相似之处，也有不同。英汉互译时要特别注意不同的英语句型和表达方法所表示的倍数概念与汉语不同。英语用times 表示倍数。无论在何种句型中都表示乘的关系，即包括基数在内的倍数。请注意以下表示倍数的英语句型及其含义：A is N times larger（longer，heavier）than B.A is larger（longer，heavier）than B by N times.A is N times as large（long，heavy）
12、as B.这三句英语的含义都是“A的大小(长度、重量)是B的N倍”，或者“A比B大（长、重）N-1倍”。,根据以上规律，请看下面英语句子的汉译：(1) The earth is 49 times the size of the moon.地球的大小是月球的49倍。(或地球比月球大48倍)(2) Since mid-century, the global economy has nearly quintupled, While the population has doubled, demand for grain has nearly tripled, and the burning of f
13、ossil fuels has increased nearly fourfold.自本世纪中叶以来，全球经济增长了将近四倍，人口翻了一番。结果，粮食的需求增加了近两倍，石油燃料增加了近三倍。(3) Within 30 years there will be twice as many urban people as countryside people in the world.30年内，全世界的城市居民将是农村人口的两倍。(4) Although London covers less than 400,000 acres, it needs nearly 50 million acre-1
14、25 times its area-to provide it with food, timber, and other resources, and to absorb its pollution.虽然伦敦占地不到40万英亩，却需要近5000万英亩的土地125倍于它本身的面积来供给它食品，原木和其他资源，并吸收它产生的污染物。,汉语倍数的表示法归纳起来有两类：第一类表示是(原数的)几倍，几倍于(原数)或增加到(原数的)几倍。第二类表示(比原数)大几倍或(比原数)增加了几倍；这两类说法含义不同。第一类表示包括基数在内的倍数，与英语倍数表示法的含义相同。第二类表示净增倍数。因此，汉语倍数的英译首
15、先要区分不同含义，选用恰当的句型，灵活准确地表达。如果用能N times/表示英语的包括基数在内的倍数，那么汉语的第二类表示“增加了几倍”的英译就要用 (N+1) times 来表示。,例如：去年这个公司手机的销量增长了近一倍（为原来的两倍）。The sales volume of portable phones of this company increased nearly twice last year.The sales volume of portable phones of this company nearly doubled last year.,汉语增加倍数的说法很多，英译时
16、，首先要仔细区分是包括基数在内的增加倍数还是净增倍数，然后决定用N times 还是（N+1）times 来表达。,例如： (1) 过去20年中，中国的国内生产总值增长了近五倍。In the past 20 years, Chinas gross domestic product increased nearly six times.(2) 1978年至1997年，中国人均生产总值增长了3.4倍。Chinas per capita GDP went up by 4.4 times between 1978 and 1997.(3) 中国城镇居民人均居住面积由1978年的3.6平方米提高到199
17、7年的8.8平方米，增加1.4倍。The per capita living space for urban residents in China expanded from 3.6 square meters in 1978 to 8.8 square meters in 1997, a rise of 2.4 times.(4) 1949年至1998年, 中国的粮食总产量由1.1亿吨增加到5.1亿吨, 增长3.5倍, 年平均增长3.1%, 是人口增长率的2.5倍。Chinas total grain output increased from 110 million tons in 194
18、9 to 510 million tons in 1998, or an increase of over 4.5 times, with an average annual growth rate of 3.1 percent, 2.5 times that of the population growth.(5) 1997年, 全国高等学校在校生总数为608万人, 其中研究生18万人, 分别是1979年的2.2倍和9.6倍。In 1997，6.08 million students were studying in colleges and universities, including
19、180,000 postgraduates, 2.2 times and 9.6 times the figures of 1979 respectively.,由于汉语很少用“减少了若干倍”的说法，而多用“减少了百分之几”或“减少了几成”的说法，因此，减少多用百分数和分数表示。,例如：(1) 由于水灾，去年的收成减少了三成。Owing to flood, the crop last year was declined by 30 percent.(2) 该公司的员工裁减了近三分之一，开支减少了四分之一。The personnel of the company have been reduce
20、d nearly by one-third and the expenses by one-fourth.(3) 1998年，政府机构改革目标实现。国务院下设部门从40个减少到29个，人员减少了近一半。In 1998，the targets of restructuring governmental institutions were met. Departments under the State Council were reduced from 40 to 29 and personnel were cut nearly by half.,增/减百分比的口译“增/减了百分之几”英语和汉语
21、的含义一致，都表示净增或净减百分数。英汉增/减百分数的表示法有以下几种：1) 增/减了%increase/rise/grow%decrease/drop/fall/sink %或者increase/rise/grow/go up by %decrease/drop/fall/go down by %,(1) Between 1986 and 1987, Nikes sales dropped 18 percent and profits sank by more than 40 percent as a result of competition with Reebok.与“锐步”鞋业竞争的结
22、果，从1986到1987年， 耐克（鞋）的销售额下降了18%，利润下降了40%多。(2) By putting out more than one new shoe style everyday on average, in 1995 and 1996, Nikes sales and profits grew 71 percent and 80 percent respectively；meanwhile, Nikes closest rival Reebok grew just nine percent in the same period. 靠平均每天推出一个以上新（鞋）款式，1995到
23、1996，耐克的销售额和利润分别上涨了71%和80%。而同期最接近耐克的竞争对手锐步只上涨了9%。(3) Procter & Gamble just raised prices on its paper products by as much as 8%.(美国) 普罗科特甘布尔公司刚刚把他们的纸制品价格提高了8%。,(4) Spending on non-durables-everything from soap flakes to razors to tennis shoes-rose 30% last year.去年非耐用品，从皂片、剃须刀到网球鞋的消费上升了30%。(5) In the
24、 fiscal year of 2000, ending on March 30, export slumped 11.3 percent in Taiwan, 10 percent in Thailand, 9.9 percent in South Korea and 2.4 percent in Hong Kong. However, the Chinese mainland posted a respectable 7.5 percent rate in the first quarter.在3月30日刚刚结束的2000财政年度，台湾的出口猛跌了11.3%，泰国10%、南韩9.9%、香港
25、2.4%。然而，中国大陆却公布了第一季度7.5%的可观增长。(6) In America, the number of people engaged in farming as their principle of occupation fell to 961,560 in 1997, down 8.7 percent from 1992, while the number between (the age of) 25 to 34 fell 28 percent.在美国以农业为主要职业的人数1997下降到961560人，比1992下降了8.7%，而年龄在25到34岁的人数下降了28%。,2)
26、 与相比，增/减了%increase/rise/grow /go up by % (as) compared with /as against / as opposed to / overdecrease/drop/fall/go down by % (as) compared with /as against / as opposed to /over,例如:(1) 1999年，普通高校招生规模比上年扩大了47.4%。 University and college enrollment in 1999 increased by 47.4 percent over the previous y
27、ear. (2) 同1997年相比，1998年工业排污减少了11.6%；家庭排污增加了2.6%。 Compared with 1997, the discharge of industrial wastewater dropped by 11.6 percent, while that of domestic sewage rose by 2.6 percent in 1998.(3) 因受亚洲金融危机的冲击，1998年中国进出口总额比上年下降0.4%，其中进口总额下降1.5%；出口总额增长0.5%。 As a result of Asian financial crises, Chinas
28、total volume of import and export in 1998 dropped by 0.4 percent over the previous year, of which the volume of import went down by 1.5 percent, and the value of export went up by 0.5 percent.,3) 增/减率 be % increase/ rise /growth be % decrease/drop /decline an increase / a rise / a growth rate of % a
29、 decrease / drop / decline of % be % up /down be up / down%,例如：1999年，中国外贸出口达1949亿美元，比上年增长6.1%。Chinas total exports reached US$194.9 billion in 1999, a rise of 6.1 percent over the previous year.1998年，中国全年海外游客入境人数6348万人次，比上年增长10.2%, 国际旅游收入达126亿美元, 增长4.4%。In 1998, China received 63.48 million tourists
30、 from overseas, up by 10.2 percent. Income of foreign exchange from tourism reached 12.6 million US dollars, up 4.4 percent.,4) 增/减具体数字的英译也可用 “by” +具体数字来表示。例如：我国水土流失面积每年以10,000平方公里的速度在扩大。目前，水土流失面积已达367万平方公里,占总土地面积将近38%。 The area of soil erosion in China has been increasing by 10,000 square km. annua
31、lly to 3.67 million square km. at present, accounting for nearly 38 percent of the total land area.由于低温多雨的影响, 我国夏粮减产1460万吨。 Chinas output of summer grain declined by 14.6 million tons due to low temperature and rainy days during the growing period.,汉语增/减百分数的英译还有一些其它表示法，但不管用什么方法，英语的增/减百分数都是净增/减数。实践是训
32、练数字互译的根本途径。口译教学要集中一段时间专门进行数字口译训练。译员只有经过大量反复的数字口译实践才能掌握英汉数字互译的不同特点和规律，达到数字互译脱口而出，快速、准确的程度。,World PopulationWith its two giants, China and India, Asia is the home of the majority of the worlds 6 billion human inhabitants，and Africa the second most popular continent.
