定语从句在商务英语中也是比较常见的句式，在翻译过程中准确处理好定语从句会使译文的表达通顺易懂，从而达到交流的目的。定语从句的翻译应视具体情况而定，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，所以常常将英语的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。
一、限制性定语从句的翻译
1. 前置法
把英语的限制性定语从句翻译成带“的”字的定语结构，将其置于被修饰词之前，从而使英语的复句变成汉语的单句。例如：
（1）Trade barrier is a pressing problem which we must deal with.
贸易壁垒问题是我们必须解决的一个迫切问题。
（2）In the room where the electronic computer is kept, there must be no dust at all.
存放电子计算机的房间必须一尘不染。
（3）Everything that we saw at the trade exhibition greatly interested us.
我们对在贸易博览会上所看到的一切都非常感兴趣。
（4）There are real estate markets, foreign exchange markets, labor markets, short-term capital market, and so on; there may be a market for anything that has a price.
有房地产市场、外汇市场、劳务市场、短期资本市场等等；任何有价值的东西都可能有市场。
2. 后置法
上述前置定语的翻译方法大都适用于限制性定语从句，但一般用于处理比较简单的英语定语从句。如果从句结构复杂，将其翻译成汉语的前置定语则显得句子太长，不符合汉语习惯，因而需要将其处理成汉语的并列分句。
①译成并列分句，重复英语先行词。例如：
（5）They would have to live the rest of their lives under the stigma that he had recklessly participated in an action which wrecked the Summit Conference and conceivably could have launched a nuclear war.
他们将不得不在耻辱中度过余生，因为他贸然采取了一项破坏峰会的行动，该行动被认为极可能引发一场核战争。
（6）The managing director received a letter from her that announced her resignation.
总裁收到了她的信，信中说她要辞职。
②译成并列分句，省略英语先行词。例如：
（7）A fuel is a material which will burn at a reasonable temperature and produce heat.
燃料是一种物质，在适当温度下能够燃烧并放出热量。
（8）They proposed a new method by which production has now been rapidly increased.
他们提出了一种新方法，运用之后总产量已经得到迅速提高。
3. 溶合法
溶合法是指把原句中的主句与定语从句溶合在一起翻译成一个独立的句子。由于限制性定语从句与主句关系密切，所以溶合法比较适合于翻译限制性定语从句。
①英语中的there be结构在翻译成汉语时往往采用这种方法，即去掉关系代词。例如：
（9）Fortunately there are some US Congressmen who are supportive of extending MFN treatment to China. 幸好有些美国国会议员支持延长对华最惠国待遇。
（10）There is a man who wants to see you. 有人要求见你。
② 某些带有定语从句的英语复合句强调的重点是定语从句的内容，在翻译成汉语时可将英语的主句压缩成汉语的名词词组，而把定语从句处理成谓语，即，将主句的主语处理成定语，将主句的宾语或表语处理成汉语的名词使其变成主语，去掉定语从句的主语（关系代词），使定语从句的谓语与主句的压缩结构（处理后的主语）构成主谓语关系。例如：
（11）We used a planeof which almost every part carried some indication of national identity. 我们驾驶的飞机几乎每个部件都有国籍标志。
（12）“We are a nationthat must beg to stay alive,”said a foreign economist.
一位外国经济学家说道，“我们这个国家不讨饭就活不下去。”
二、非限制性定语从句的翻译
非限制性定语从句对先行词不起限制作用，只对它加以描写、叙述或解释，对这种结构的翻译可以采取多种方法。例如：
1. 前置法
一些较短而具有描写性的英语非限制性定语从句，可以翻译成汉语的前置定语，放在被修饰词之前。例如：
（13）His firm, which has suffered from a business slump for three years, now starts all over again. 他那个萧条了三年的公司，现在又重整旗鼓了。
（14）The sun, which had hidden all day, now came out in all its splendor.
那个整天躲在云层里的太阳，现在又光芒四射地露面了。
2. 后置法
① 译成并列分句。在译文中将原文从句后置，重复英语关系代词所代表的含义。例如：
（15）I lent my camcorder to Mr. Li, whoin turn lent it to Mr. Wang in the marketing department.
我把摄像机借给了李先生，而李先生又把它借给了市场部的王先生。
（16）This is a school of international business and communication, the students of which are trained to be business executives for joint ventures or foreign-owned businesses.
这是一家国际商务外语学院，该院学生将被培养成合资或独资企业管理者。
（17）He took the sales plan to the president, wholiked it and called a meeting of the board of directors to study its feasibility.
他把这个销售计划汇报给了总裁，总裁很喜欢，并且召集董事会研究其可行性。
②在译文中将原文从句后置，省略英语关系代词所代表的含义。例如：
（18）After dinner, the four key negotiators resumed their talks, whichcontinued well into the night. 饭后，四个主要谈判代表继续会谈，直到深夜。
③译成汉语的独立句。例如：
（19）The president had talked to the commerce secretary, who assured him that everything that could be done would be done.
总统与商务部长谈过话。商务部长向总统保证，凡是能够做到的事情都将竭尽全力去做。
（20）I hope your success, which is an inspiration to me, will continue.
你的成功对我是个鼓舞，我希望你不断取得成功。
三、分述翻译法
无论是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句的翻译，常常存在一个普遍现象，即把主句与从句分成两个句子来翻译，这就是分述法。分述法有以下几种形式：
1. 将关系代词还原，即把关系代词翻译成它所指代的先行词或重复一下先行词。例如：
（21）He was first introduced to the employees at the welcoming party by his friend Peter Newmark who was already managing director of the corporation.
他是在欢迎宴会上由他的朋友彼得·纽马克首次介绍给公司员工的，彼得·纽马克当时已是该公司总裁了。
（22）Its numerical evaluation is determined by a small subsection of that society which has managed to foist itself on the rest of us as an arbiter of such matter.
它的数值是由那个社会中的一小部分人所决定的，这一小部分人作为这类事情的仲裁人，已设法把自己的观点强加在我们其余人身上。
2. 简化或概括先行词。例如：
（23）I received the impression of a brutal, clever, competent man who, in business matters, at all events, would be pitiless.
我对这个人的印象是既残酷又精明能干。这种人在生意上无论如何都是毫不徇情的。
（24）Like all dictators he was carried away by power, which, as it inevitably must, corrupted him, corroding his mind and poisoning his judgment.
如同所有的独裁者一样，他被权力冲昏了头脑，这就不可避免地使其堕落，使其心灵遭到腐蚀，使其判断受到损害。
3. 主从糅合，重新组合。例如：
（25）In countries where people remain in one town or city for most of their lives, the social customs are quite different.
有些国家的人民几乎终身未离开一个市镇，那里的社会风俗颇为不同。
（26）To those visitors who come from countries where social relationships develop more slowly during a longer period of time, the American way may seem very frightening, too personal, and rude.
在一些国家，居民的社会关系是要长期慢慢培养的。习惯了这种情形的游客到了美国，可能觉得美国人的方式很可怕，他们太注意私人问题，没有礼貌。
（27）I had a problem, which became clearly obvious just as I was to appear at the meeting. 我遇到一个问题。当我要出席会议时，这个问题越发明显。
（28）One day I received a note from him asking me to lunch at Ramada where he lived when in London.
有一天我收到他的一封短信，约我在华美达吃午饭，他在伦敦时就住在那附近。
四、带有状语功能的定语从句翻译方法
在英语的句子中，有些定语从句同时具有状语的功能，在意义上与主句有状语关系，表明原因、结果、目的、让步、假设等关系。在翻译定语从句时，要善于从原文中发现这些逻辑上的关系，然后翻译成汉语中相应的偏正复句。例如：
1. 译成表示“原因”的分句。例如：
（29）We did not place an order with that company whose offer was not what we had expected. 我们没有同那家公司订货，因为他们的报价超出我们的意料。
（30）The speaker did not talk at length about the matter, which was not considered by the White House to be a particularly important question. 发言人没有详细谈到这件事情，因为白宫官员并不认为这是一个特别重要的问题。
（31）You would have to be very careful not to offend the foreman, who could give you the sack at any time.
你可得多加小心，不要得罪工头，因为工头随时都可以炒你鱿鱼。
2. 译成表示“结果”的分句。例如：
（32）There was something original, independent, and heroic about the plan that pleased all of the directors of the board.
这个方案大胆、独特、有创意，因此董事们都很满意。
（33）Late last century, all universities in the United States adopted the credit system which benefited students a great deal.
上个世纪末，美国所有大学都采取了学分制，使得学生们受益匪浅。
（34）The first decade in space saw accomplishments in science and technology which affected our concept of the entire universe.
太空探索的头十年间，科学和技术都取得了成就，从而影响了我们对宇宙的看法。
3. 译成表示“让步”的分句。例如：
（35）He lived his life apart from the workers on whose skill he depended.
他不跟工人们在一起生活，虽然他离不开他们的熟练技巧。
（36）The task, which seemed to be difficult, was already accomplished in time.
虽然任务似乎很艰巨，但已及时完成。
（37）Electronic computers, which have many advantages, cannot carry out creative work or replace them.
尽管电子计算机有许多优点，但是它们不能进行创造性工作，也不能代替人。
（38）The new assistant, who had obtained an MBA degree, could not do the right job, because he had no practical experience. 虽然新来的助手获得了工商硕士学位，但是由于他缺乏实际工作经验，不能胜任工作。
4. 译成表示“目的”的分句。例如：
（39）They have built up a new college here, where students will be trained to business executives. 他们在这里新建立了一所大学，以培养企业管理人才。
（40）He wishes to write an article that will attract public attention to the matter.
他想写一篇文章，以便公众关注此事。
（41）Private schools in the United States have offered a wide range of courses that will suit the needs of different students.
美国私立大学开设了多种多样的课程，以满足不同学生的需求。
（42）We recognize the need to establish and develop institutions which help to tame the unbridled exercise of power.
我们认识到需要建立和发展一些机构，以有助于对权力滥用的控制。
5. 译成表示“条件、假设”的分句。例如：
（43）Men become desperate for work, any work, which will help them to keep alive their family.
人们极其迫切地要求工作，不管什么工作，只要能够维持一家人的生活就行。
五、分离式定语从句翻译方法
在英语的句子中，定语从句通常是紧紧跟在被修饰的中心词的后面，但是在某些情况下，定语从句和中心词被其他成分隔开，形成分离式定语从句。其具体形式如下：
1. 中心词+形容词短语+定语从句
有时候句子的中心词和定语从句被形容词短语分隔开来，在翻译的时候，通常采用“定语从句+形容词短语+中心词”的结构，也就是将原来的顺序完全颠倒过来。例如：
（44）Snow-white cloth, suitable for making shirts, that is produced in our factory, has been sold out. 我厂生产的适合于制作衬衣的纯白布匹已经买完了。
2. 中心词+介词短语+定语从句
有时候，中心词和定语从句被作为状语的介词短语分隔开来，这种结构在翻译的时候通常是将介词短语放到中心词的前面做状语，而定语从句如果不长的话，可放在中心词的前面，如果太长的话，则放在后面，翻译成独立句。例如：
（45）He is the only one in the company who hasn’t obtained an MBA degree.
他是公司中惟一没有取得MBA学位的人。
（46）There are times during a negotiation when one of the parties will suddenly leave the table and then the talks will collapse.
谈判期间，有时一方会突然退出，于是谈判宣告破裂。
3. 中心词+两个定语从句
有时候一个中心词后面同时出现两个定语从句作为其修饰语，紧跟其后的定语从句通常比较短，而第二个定语从句比较长。在翻译的时候，将第一个定语从句放在中心词前面，至于第二个定语从句，如果比较短的话，也可以放在中心词之前（只要汉语通顺），否则可以将第二定语从句翻译成并列句。例如：
（47）This is the first field we find that is dominated by women.
这是我们发现的第一个由妇女主导的行业。
（48）It is the only place we find in the United States that is free of violence.
这里是我们在美国所能找到的惟一一个没有暴力的地方。
4. 中心词+谓语+定语从句（同位语从句）
在这种结构中，定语从句与中心词的关系非常密切，但是由于定语从句（同位语从句）过长，为避免句子头重脚轻，通常把修饰主语的定语从句（同位语从句）放在中心词+谓语的后面，远离中心词。如果是定语从句，则要将其翻译成中心词的定语；如果是同位语从句，在翻译时一般先翻译谓语部分，然后翻译中心词，再翻译同位语从句。例如：
（49）All is not gold that glitter. 发光的东西不一定都是金子。
（50）A fax has come from the New York based headquarters that notifies a 5 percent discount off the original price. 纽约总部发来传真通知价格下调百分之五。
5. 中心词+其他成分+定语从句
这种结构中的定语从句同中心词（主语）的关系不是很密切，只对中心词进行补充或说明，它被其他成分尤其是谓语部分隔开。在翻译时，如果中心词同时又是定语从句的逻辑主语时，就将其翻译成并列句并概括先行词；如果定语从句有自己的主语时，就将其翻译成独立句。例如：
（51）Great changes have taken place in China’s economy in just a few years that have aroused world attention.
中国经济仅在过去的几年中就发生了天翻地覆的变化，（这）引起了世界瞩目。
6. 中心词+插入语+定语从句
有时候，一个句子的中心词和定语从句被一个插入语隔开，插入语对整个句子起着附加说明的作用，在翻译这种结构时，可以将插入语放在句首或中心词后面，将定语从句放在中心词后面翻译成并列句，或者是独立句并重复先行词。例如：
（52）We ought to put this on the agenda, in conclusion, which must be carried out in three weeks. 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。
（53）We should strengthen our ties with them, on the contrary, who will be very helpful to our economic constructions.
相反，我们还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。

三、请将下面段落译成中文
A new currency called the “euro” was launched in Europe. It will replace eleven currencies by the year 2002 so that eleven European countries will share a common euro currency. The euro will make it easier for these countries to trade with each other and for other countries to trade with them.
The euro is the latest in a global economy of money which sees frantic trading of currency 24 hours a day. Every day trillions of dollars are moved around the world via banks’ computers.
Even as nations sleep, the fibre optic cables, fax and phone lines, and Internet cyberspace highways are humming with the trade in money.
This new form of electronic money is taking the place of the cash that we know from everyday dealings. Money has been used for many centuries but not always in the form of coins and notes. Some cultures used shells, cloth and precious stones. Early Maori traded items of value such as food and greenstone. Historically, gold, silver, copper and brass became the commonest currency, used by the Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Indians. Paper money was used in China as early as a thousand years ago.
Over time, the introduction of cheques, plastic credit cards, and recently electronic banking, have meant that new standards for measuring the value of money have been sought. You can see the fluctuating value of money when you compare the buying power of the dollar over time—because of inflation, one dollar today buys less than a tenth of what one dollar could buy in 1967. The constant which could be guaranteed to measure the value of money used to be the gold bar. But gold has fluctuated since the standard price of gold ( a constant at$US 35 an ounce for decades) became moveable. Today gold is bought and sold daily. It has moved as high as $US 800 an ounce, and now hovers around the $US 250 to $ 270 mark. Stock exchanges are no guarantee of permanent values either. Constancy is not constancy, to paraphrase Shakespeare, “which alters when it alteration finds.” Stock exchange indices vary with the amount of trading and rise and fall in share prices—the Dow Jones Index of the New York Stock Exchange hit a record high of 10 000 points in 1999, but traders still remember the stock market plunges of 1987 and 1997.
Enter the McDonald’s hamburger. McDonald’s products, guaranteed by the company’s manual and constant computerized measurements, have a rigorous fixed standard. Because the Big Mac hamburger formula is the same in every country, the comparative price of a McDonald’s Big Mac hamburger is a good measure of the comparative cost of ingredients, labour and company overheads; thus a measure of each country’s different economic structure.
Economists know that one way of measuring the value of money all around the world is to look at the cost of a single item sold in many different countries. In the Big Mac they have the perfect constant. The following chart uses a Big Mac in the local currency and then its value in$US. Note that the most economical Big Mac hamburger in the world is to be found in China, where it is obviously cheaper and more efficiently produced than in its home country of the
United States.（资料来源：《英语世界》2000年第4期）

四、请将下面段落译成英文尊敬的来宾，女士们，先生们：
早上好！很高兴参加《财富》论坛，我谨以“中国的开放与世界的共赢”为题，与各位交流。27年前，开放对于中国还是一个很陌生的词汇。当邓小平提出对外开放的时候，中国人遇到了思维上前所未有的挑战，很多人怀疑中国的开放是不是风险太大了？但无论阻力有多大，二十多年来中国始终坚持了对外开放的基本国策。今天，当人们回首往事时，惊喜地发现，中国已实现了历史的跨越：在27年间，国民生产总值增加了1 100%，平均增速达9.4%。改革开放之初，人们把那些巨富的人称为“万元户”，而目前我国居民人均储蓄就有上万元了。所以，开放给中国人民带来了实惠，中国人从心里喜欢开放。
中国人办事，喜欢大家都高兴。中国开放的过程也是外来投资分享利润的过程。从1990年到2004年，外来投资者汇出了2 500多亿美元的利润。正在运营的28万多家外商投资企业中，三分之二以上赢利。中国美国商会2004年的调查显示：被调查的四分之三美国公司在华赢利，42%的公司在华利润超过其全球的利润率。德国大众在华合资公司的运营利润相当其全球运营利润的四分之一。通过双向贸易和投资，中国在世界经济增长中正发挥着日益重要的带动作用。以去年为例，中国以约占世界4%的GDP，对世界经济的增长做出了10%的贡献；以约占世界6%的外贸额，为世界贸易的增长做出了12%的贡献。《经济学家》周刊指出，在2000—2001年美国的股市泡沫破裂之后，由于中国的强劲发展，整个世界逃脱了衰退的一劫。联合国贸发会议将中国和美国并称为世界经济两大火车头。今天，在促进经济发展、实现与世界共赢的同时，中国的对外开放也进入了一个新的时期。
为什么叫“新时期”？因为当今的中国与20年前的中国已判若两人，与10年前的中国也大不一样了。“新时期”不是个形容词，它是具体的：首先，中国的开放水平上了一个新台阶。自加入WTO以后，经过3年多的过渡期，我们已经按照有关规则和承诺，调整了国内的经济体制。关税总水平已经降到了 10%以下，所有非关税壁垒已被取消，国内各行业尤其是服务业的对外开放程度已大幅度提高。目前，中国开放了100个服务贸易部门，占服务部门总数的62.5%，只比发达国家低5个百分点。第二，中国的市场规模越来越大，而且方兴未艾。谁也不怀疑，中国正在成为世界上成长最快的巨大市场，已经成为世界最大的电视机、电冰箱和手机消费国；住房、家用轿车和国内外的旅游已经成为新的消费热点。去年，中国国内市场消费了2万亿美元以上的生产资料和生活资料，中国东部近5亿人口的地区，人均GDP已经达到了2 000美元。盖洛普公司最新调查数据显示，目前中国中高收入家庭的标准为6 100美元，人口总数为1.4亿。而且根据预测，今后中等收入人口每年还要增加两三千万。在中国的银行里，居民储蓄已超过1.5万亿美元。第三，中国不仅有较高素质的蓝领工人，还将有众多白领工人。过去，中国靠廉价的劳动力优势来竞争；今天，在继续保有这一优势的同时，高素质人才也成长起来。中国大学毕业生将超过300万人，中国人力资源的智力水平和外语普及程度都将不断提高。第四，中国的基础设施日臻完善。目前，中国高速公路总里程已达到3万公里；铁路总营运里程7.2万公里，居世界第三；港口吞吐量41亿吨，居世界首位；电话用户总数已超过6.5亿户，居世界第一；互联网用户数超过9 400万户，居世界第二。中国已有条件在完善和通畅的条件下与世界合作。第五，外商投资企业在中国已不是一个个孤岛。外商投资企业已经摆脱了过去“孤军作战”的局面，形成了从上游到下游的产业链，而且与流通企业、金融企业相互配合，编织成上上下下、纵横交错的产业网络；并且与中国企业相互渗透，你中有我，我中有你，在竞争中合作共赢。第六，中国已拥有巨大而且持续增长的进口需求。中国每年的进口总额已经从1978年的109亿美元增加到2004年的5 614亿美元。近5年，中国进口的年均增长率超过了28%。这种大幅快速增长的进口，将为世界经济提供广阔的市场。（资料来源：商务部网站）
