| hich is broken.

c. Living in the central Australian desert has its problems, of which obtaining water is not the least.

d.He decided to resign, which is the best thing he could do under the circumstances.

e.He is late for class today, as is often the case.
他今天迟到了，而这是经常的事。
以上的句子在翻译成汉语后，要重复先行词。其中的“which”可以是指前面的整个句子，也可以单指某个先行词。
3.省略先行词
这种句行就象前面讲的“综和性”翻译一样，直接把整个句子的意思讲出来，例如：
a.The two universities signed an agreement, under which they would exchange students and scholars.
这两个大学，签定了协议，决定交换学生和学者。
b.He caught a young soldier coming to the farmhouse , whose face turned pale for too much loss of blood.
他看见一个士兵走进农舍，脸色因失血过多而苍白。
c. He passed the exam, which can be read from his the light on his face.
我从他脸上就可以看出他已通过了考试。
d. He arrived at the railway station in time , which is expected .
他果然准时到了火车站。
4.译成状语从句
有些作定语的句子听起来却有点象状语从句，因此翻译时可以将其译成状语似的从句：
a.You should take advantage of the opportunity to learn English well, which is very valuable.(原因)
你应该利用这个机会好好学习英语，这太重要了。
b.We examine the quality of our products, which is why they are so reliable.(原因)
我们检验产品很仔细，因此产品都很可靠。
c.I never believe the stories, which is appealing.(让步)
我从不相信他所说的故事，即使它很动听。
5. “as”引导的句子：
除了以上这些例子以外，还有一些特殊的由 “as”引导的句子, 翻译时可参考“as”的比 较结构从句：
a. He is not such as fool as he looks
他并不象看上去的那么傻。
b.They were not such questions as could easily be disposed of.
这些问题可不是那么容易就能处理好的。
c.It wasn’t such a good dinner as she had promised us.
这顿饭可没有她向我们说的那么好。
直译是基础，意译是补充
能直译就尽量直译，不能直译就采取意译
1. Their accent couldn’t fool a native speaker.
A.他们的口音不能愚弄本地人
B.本地人是不会听不出他们是外乡人的。
C.本地人一听他们的口音便知道他们是外乡人的。
2. Smashing a mirror is no way to make an ugly person beautiful, nor is it a way to make social problems evaporate.
意译：砸镜子并不能解决实际问题。
直译:砸镜子并不能使丑八怪变漂亮，也不能使社会问题烟消云散。
3.He felt a rush of fear churning his stomach.
直译： 他感到一阵恐惧涌上胃口
意译：他感到一阵恐惧涌上心头
