II. Reading Techniques for EST Nominalizaiton(名词化结构) 1. 单纯名词化结构：指由一个或多个名词修饰一个中心名词构成的名词化结构。 water purification system 该结构的中心名词是system，purification 修饰water，因此该结构相当于a system for the purification of water
2. 复合名词化结构：指由一个中心名词和形容词、名词、副词、分词及介词短语等多个前置或后置修饰语构成。
acute bacterial peritonitis 急性细菌性腹膜炎
3. 由动词派生的名词化结构：通常是由实义动词派生的名词搭配介词短语构成，在句子中充当主语、宾语或介词宾语。
The building of these giant iron and steel works will greatly accelerate the development of the iron and steel industry of our country.
句中的名词化结构the building of these giant iron and steel workds由build的动名词加上介词短语构成，充当句子的主语，其逻辑结构为动宾结构。
III. Translation Techniques for EST 1. 将名词化结构译为动词
All substances will permit the passage of some electric current, provided the potential difference is high enough.
这里的名词passage在翻译时要译为动词“通过”。
全句译为：只要有足够的电位差，电流便可通过任何物体。
2. 将名词化结构译为动宾关系
As a small-scale illustration of the artificial modification of physical weather processes, take the frost prevention in an orchard. 划线部分的名词化结构译为“对天气的物理过程进行人工影响” 全句译为：我们可举果园中防霜作为说明对天气的物理过程进行小尺度人工影响的例子。
