从上面的例子可以看出，无论是英译汉还是汉译英，省词译法基本上都是出于译文语言习惯和语法的需要，不省去这些词语，译文就显得拖泥带水，甚至会出现画蛇添足的结果使用省词译法要求译者对译文有驾轻就熟的运用能力。 第四节、 转性译法(词类转移法) 转性译法是英译汉和汉译英中都经常要用到的翻译方法。所谓转性译法就是在翻译过程中，根据译文语言的习惯进行词性转换，如：把原文中的名词转换为动词，把原文中的副词转换为介词，等等。请看下面的实例。 1.语言这个东西不是随便可以学好的，非下苦功不可。
The mastery of language is not easy and requires painstaking effort. 这句话的英译文应该说是忠实而地道的，但分析一下汉英文中的词类, 却很少是对应的。原文中的词类到了译文中。差不多都发生了变化：“学好”是动词，意思上相应的英文词mastery是名词；“随便”是副词，意思上相应的英文词是作表语的easy, 等等。假若译文中的英文词类、词序都与汉语完全相同，不作任何改变，那么这就不成一句英文句子了。 2. In those years the Republicans were in. 那些年是共和党执政。（形容词转为动词）

(原文中以for为引导的介词词组在译文中被转译成以“因为”为引导的状语从句.因此，原文中for这个介词在译文中被处理成连接词“因为”，定语his转译成了主语“他”，定语continuous转译成了状语“不断地”，名词encouragement转译成了动词“鼓励”,定语during my childhood 转译成了状语“在我小时候”) 14.

从上面转性译法的实例中不难看出,翻译中的词性转换存在着一定的规律,最明显的一点就是英美人比较喜欢用名词和介词,而汉语里动词用得比较多一些。因此,英译汉时，我们经常要把英语中的名词和介词转换成汉语中的动词;而在汉译英时,我们往往要把汉语中的动词转换成英语中的名词或介词。值得一提的是词性转换并不是随意进行的，而是遵循着语言中的客观规律如果我们逆规律而行, 译文就无法做到通顺或地道。 上面第6句My suggestion is that he should quit smoking at once译成了“我建议他立刻戒烟”, 第三十四句 “他酷爱古典音乐”译成了He is an ardent lover of classic music,两个译文都非常地道．如果把这两句完全按照原文词性分别翻译成“我的建议是他必须立刻戒烟”, “He loves classic music ardently”,都符合各自译文的语法,按一般要求也算可以了，但是比起前面的译文来就显得不够地道，在文采也要逊色得多.总而言之,我们使用转译法时,一方面要掌握译文在使用词性方面的规律，另一方面必须严格遵循这些规律进行翻译中的词性转换. 第五节 词序调整法
