宾语从句
一般来说，宾语从句包括以下三种：动词宾语从句、介词宾语从
句和形容词宾语从句。这里主要关注前两种从句。
动词宾语从句的翻译方法与主语从句的翻译方法大体相同，也可
分为顺序、逆序和综合译法 顺序译法
Investigations into the origins of life on earth have shown that, given earth-like conditions, the formation of life is almost inevitable
译文：地球上生命起源的研究证明，只要具有类似地球的条件，生命的形成就几乎是必然的
Pure science considers how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today
译文：理论科学研究的是生命怎样演变成我们今天在地球上看到的植物和动物 逆序译法

但是，为什么行星的轨道必须是椭圆的，当时谁也说不清楚 Scientists do not know exactly what comets are or where they come from 彗星是什么东西，它是如何形成的，科学家并不十分清楚 综合译法

9
他唯一的要求是让他在不受干扰的情况下继续工作
He is trying to get a computer to learn what things look like by analyzing data about their uses
译文：他试图通过对物品用途作出数据分析来让计算机识别物品外观 We can find out how much air there is at different height above the earth 我们可以测出地球上空不同高度的空气密度
介词后作宾语的句子叫做介词宾语从句。这种从句往往用连接代
词what，which，who或连接副词how，when，why，where，whether等引导。有时也可以和连词that连用，但必须是用于介词in，except之后。这种介词短语通常用作主句中的定语从句、状语从句和表语从句等。翻译时也基本可采用上述方法 顺序译法
一般来说，当英语中宾语从句和汉语中宾语的语序保持一致时，
直接按语序翻译就可以了。在“名词 + 介词 + 从句”的介词结构宾语从句中，当名词是具有较强的动词意味时，往往可以把该名词译成动词，再按原来结构译出便可
The rocket engine develops very high speed and flies to where there is no air
火箭引擎能产生极快的速度，并能飞到没有空气的太空
Any decision as to which changes are chemical and which are not is, to some extent, arbitrary
