四、英汉互译时的词序问题
（一）、两种语言的总体比较:
一方面，英汉两种语言都是按照事物发展的客观规律进行的，因而有其共同点，例如:
In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, people invented a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver. (为了更好的交流思想和感情，人们设计出了通常用的标记和符号系统，而这标记和符号交流双方都能看的懂。)
以上的几个例句在英汉两种语言里的词序都是一样的;而除此以外，还存在着很多不同点。
另一方面，两种语言又有许多不同点。下面就英汉两种语言的不同点进行比较: 汉语比较注重事物发展的客观顺序，先发生什么，后发生什么，结果怎样，最后才加上作者的评论和观点，不管有多少动词都可以并列、排比使用，不会出现词法、句法等的冲突 。
主题显著，突出主题，而非单单的一个主语，注重句子的“意和”，这就要求我们透过句子的表层结构，深入到句子的内涵，先抓“整体”印象，充分理解过以后再把原文的意思形象翻译出来。
而英语则不然，英语突出主语，往往是评论、观点在前，叙述、原因在后; 表面形式上追求句子的“形和” ，对句子的结构要求非常严谨，特别强调句子结构的平衡，往往借助于句法、词法(如主从句、分词、不定式等手段)来维持句子表面上的平衡、完整性，极力避免句子的“头重脚轻”(因此，也就出现了许多“it is said that...” 等等无主句)。所以，英文则是把作者的观点、主张放在前面，以后再跟着原因、结果和目的等等从句。这些现象在新闻英语里尤其明显，难怪有人说，“ 汉语的句子结构好比一根竹子，一节一节地连下去，而英语的句子结构好比一窜葡萄，主杆可能很短，累累的果实附着在上面。” 具体情况如下:
（二）、英汉互译时的时间顺序对比:
1. The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing.This is, perhaps, a pity,because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when shop keeper knew all his regular customers personally. 旧时的百货店很快就消失了。过去，店主私下里都认识他的老主顾们，而在今天这种事情再也不复存在了，这实在是太可惜了。
2. American education owes a great deal to Tomas Jefferson.. 托马斯.杰弗逊为美国的教育作出了很大的贡献.
下面的句子属倒装句型，是典型的英汉在翻译时的顺序差异:
1.Under the dust was a color map of Paris. (巴黎地图上布满了灰尘。)
2.Written on the card was a message under the printed Happy Birthday. (卡片上“生日快乐”字样的下面写着一条消息。)
正是由于以上的原因，才会出现两种语言在思维习惯、逻辑推理上的不同:
（三）、英汉互译时逻辑思维顺序上的差异:
如上所述，如果一个句子里既有叙事的部分，又有表态的部分，在汉语里往往是叙事在前，
表态在后，叙事部分可以很长，表态部分一般都很短。而在英语里则往往相反，表态在前，
叙事在后。例如:
1.表原因:
a. I am very happy and grateful to receive your message of greetings. 接到你们的贺函， 我十分愉快和感谢。
不过，处理这种句行时要注意英汉互译时的顺序问题，例如:
My friend asked the question when I told him that I didn't want to be considered for an administrative position. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviouslya "step up" toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power. 所有美国人受的教育就是:长大成人后应该追求金钱和权力，而我却偏偏不要明明是朝这个目标 "迈进"的工作, 他对此大或不解。
2. 表目的
The two sides agreed that it is desirable to broaden the understanding between the two peoples. 双方同意，扩大两国人民之间的了解是可取的。
3. 表条件和结果时的顺序:
a.One can never succeedwithout making great 1( 结果) 2(条件) efforts. 译文: ( 不努力 就不会成功。) 2(条件)1(结果)
4. 在表示让步的句子里，通常也是原因在前，结果在后:
b. Young as he is , he works hard. (尽管他很年轻，可他工作很买力。)
另外: 下面的这个句子也可以视为结果一类的句子，它的英汉两种语言的顺序很能说明问题:
c.在当今的教育界， 已经涌现出了大批的优秀人才。Large numbers of talented personshave come to the fore in today’s education circle.
d. Little isknown about the effect of life-long drinking. 人们关于终生饮酒的效果却知道的很少
（四）、 因语法手段而造成的英汉次序不一
1. 另外一些表示存在句的句子里也可见到大量的英汉次序不一的现象:
There was rising in him a dreadful uneasiness; something very precious that he wanted to hold seemed close to destruction.
(他心里涌起一种难言的焦灼，因为他原来一直想保住的东西现在好象要毁灭了。)
另外，英语里的有些形式主语也大都采用了倒装词序:
2. 无主句:
It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles anhour, but barely chugging along at thirty. (后来，我才突然明白，这次快车并非以90英里的时速疾弛而下，而只不过是以30英里的时速慢慢向前行驶。)
It is reported that …………
3. 在某些表示“融合性”的定语从句中:
a.There are many people who want to see the film. (许多人要看这部电影)
b.There is a man downstairs who wants to see you. (楼下有人要见你)
4. 倒装句形
a.Not a single word have we written down as yet. (否定) (我们连一个字都没有写。)
b.Little does he realize the danger he is in (否定) (他一点都没有意识到危险性。)
IV. 因句子结构转换而造成的词序不一:
Cold drinks will be availableat the Sports Center. 运动中心也提供 冷饮。(状语转译成主语)
（五）、注意下面的一些特殊的结构:
1. 中国自从改革开放以来，发生了很大的变化。 有人竟然翻译成:
误: Since China’s policy of reform and opening, China has taken place a great many changes.
正: A great many changes have taken place in China since the policy of reform and opening to the outside world.
2. 轮子是公元前六世纪发明的。 600 B.C. saw the invention of wheel
