　　1. "as good as…"相等于，就像，几乎如;实际上，其实，实在。

　　The merchant as good as promised the orphan boy, that he would adopt him.

　　2."many as well…as"和"might as well …as" "many

　　as well…as"可译为"与其……，不如……，更好"，"以这样做……为宜"，"如同……，也可以……"等等。"might as well…as"表示不可能的事，可译为"犹如……"，"可与……一样荒唐"，"与其那样不如这样的好"等等。

　　One may as well not know a thing at all as know it imperfectly.

　　3. "so…that, such…that"是一个普通的句型，但在同一个句子里有两处使用它却比较少见。

　　4. "by doing…"结构。这个结构的意思是"通过(做)……"，但翻译实践中不能拘泥于这种释义，不少情况下需要灵活变通。

　　5. "something(much)of"和"nothing(little)of"

　　"something of"相当于"to some extent"，表示程度。在疑问句或条件从句中，则为"anything of"，可译为"有点"，"略微等。""译为毫无"，"全无"."much of"译为"大有"，"not much of"可译为"算不上"，"称不上"，"little of"可译为"几乎无".something like译为"有点像，略似。"

　　6. 同格名词修饰是指of前后的两个名词都指同一个人或物，"of"以及它前面的名词构一个形容词短语，以修饰"of"后面的那个名词。如"her old sharper of a father"，可译为："她那骗子般的父亲".

　　It is as plain as plain can be.

　　8. "It is in(with)…as in(with)"

　　9. "when"引导状语从句有时并不好译，不能一看到when从句就考虑译为"当……的时候"，它还有许多种译法。

　　Anything is better than not to write clearly. There is nothing to be said against lucidity, and against simplicity only the possibility of dryness. This is a risk that is well worth taking when you reflect how much better it is to be bold than to wear a curly wig.

　　10. "not…because…"，有时可否定前面，有时可否定because本身，往往出现歧义。应根据上下文面判定。

　　In 1600 the earth was not the center of the universe because the majority then supposed it was; nor, because she had more readers, was Ella wheeler Wilcox a better poet than Father Hopkins.

　　11."to make…of"的译法(使……成为……，把……当作)

　　13. only(not, all, but, never) too …to do so 和"too ready (apt) + to do"结构中，不定式也没有否定意义，凡是"not"，"all""but等字后+"too…to，"不定式都失去了否定意义，在"too ready(apt) +to do"结构中，不定式也没有否定意义。

　　14. "no more …than…"句型

　　A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man.

　　15. "not so much…as"和"not so much as …"结构，"not so much…as"="not so much as …"，其中as有进可换用but rather，可译为："与其说是……毋须说是……".而"not so much as"="without(not)even，"可译为"甚至……还没有".

　　16. "Nothing is more…than"和"Nothing is so …as"结构，"Nothing is more…than"和"Nothing is so …as"都具有最高级比较的意思，"Nothing I"可换用"no"，"nobody"，"nowhere"，"little"，"few"，"hardly"，"scarcely"等等，可译为"没有……比……更为"，"像……再没有了"，"最……"等。

　　Nothing is more precious than time.

　　17. "cannot…too…"结构,"cannot…too…"意为"It is impossible to overdo…"或者，即"无论怎样……也不算过分"."not"可换用"hardly"，"scarcely"等，"too"可换用"enough"，"sufficient"等。

　　You cannot be too careful.

　　18. "否定+but "结构，在否定词后面的"but"，具有"which not"，"who not"，"that not"，等等否定意义，构成前后的双重否定。可译成"没有……不是"或"……都……"等。

　　Nothing is so bad but it might have been worse.

　　19. "否定+until (till)"结构，在否定词"no"，"not"，"never"，"little"，"few"，"seldom"等的后边所接用的 "until/ till"，多数情况下译为"直到……才……"，"要……才……"，把否定译为肯定。

　　Nobody knows what he can do till he has tried.

　　20. "not so…but"和"not such a …but"结构，这两个结构和"否定+but"的结构差不多，不同之点是这两个结构中的"but"是含有"that…not"意味的连续词，表示程度。可译为"还没有……到不能做……的程度"，"并不是……不……"，"无论怎样……也不是不能……"等。
