1、一般来说，限制性定语从句由于对主句起着限制作用，并影响着主句的完整性，所以在翻译时，只要译文上口而又不会引起误解，都是可以前置的。但是在实践中，由于汉语中短句的使用比英语更普遍，所以常常将限制性定语从句翻译成与主句并列的句子，而非限制性定语从句一般可以翻译成为并列句或独立句。,句法翻译之四：定语从句,（1）限定性定语从句的翻译 （2）非限定性定语从句的翻译 （3）带有状语功能的定语从句（4）分离式定语从句的翻译 （5）As引导的定语从句,定语从句（1）：限定性定语从句的翻译,1.前置法：把英语的限制性定语从句翻译成带“的”字的定语词组，放在被修饰词之前，从而将英语的复句变成汉语的单句。例如：,

27、.,总之，我们应当把它列入议程，该议程必须在三周内得到执行。,We should strengthen our ties with them, on the contrary, who will be very helpful to our economic constructions.,相反，我们应该加强与他们的联系，因为他们对于我们的经济建设大有帮助。,定语句式（5）：As引导的定语从句, as引导的定语从句位于句首当as引导的定语从句位于句首时，在翻译时一般将其放在句首或句尾。例如：,As is very natural, the biggest shareholder gets the
