一、詞類轉換
英語語言的一個很重要的特點，就是詞類變形和詞性轉換，尤其是名詞、動詞、形容詞之間的轉換。
例子：她的書給我們的印象很深。
譯文：Her book impressed us deeply。
批註：在這裡漢語中的名詞需轉化成英語中的.動詞"impress"。
二、減詞
英語的表達傾向簡潔，漢語比較喜歡重複。重複，作為一種漢語修辭方法，在某種場合下，重複的表達一個意思，是為了強調，加強語氣。
為了有更強的節奏感和押韻，漢語中也經常會出現排比句。考生在翻譯這些句子時，為了符合英文表達的邏輯，就要有所刪減或省略。
例子：這是革命的春天，這是人民的春天，這是科學的春天!讓我們張開雙臂，熱烈擁抱這個春天吧!
譯文：Let us stretch out our arms to embrace the spring, which is one of the revolution, of the people, and of science。
批註：如遇到重複的漢語排比句，漢譯英時記得遵守英語的邏輯表達，用定語從句來翻譯，使英文句子讀起來也朗朗上口。
三、增詞法
在翻譯段落時，為了能充分的表達原文含義，以求達意，翻譯時有必要增加詞語來使英文的表達更加順暢。
例子：虛心使人進步，驕傲使人落後。
譯文： Modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind。
批註：中間加上了增連詞whereas，以使英語的句子表達更加有邏輯性。
四、語態轉換
語態分為被動語態和主動語態，漢語中主動語態出現頻率較高，而與之相反，英語中被動語態的使用率較高。因此考生在翻譯時，要注意語態之間的轉換。
例子：這個小女孩在上學的路上受了傷。
譯文：The little girl was hurt on her way to school。
批註：這裡，“受了傷”的主動語態轉換為"was hurt"的被動語態。
五、語序變換
為了適應英文的修辭避免歧義，有時需要對原文的語序進行調整。
六、分譯與合譯
在遇到較長的句子或較複雜的句子時，可以考慮分譯，以使譯文簡潔，通俗易懂。同時也可以把漢語的兩個較簡短的句子譯成一句，中間用連線詞來連結。
七、正反表達翻譯
正反表達翻譯可以分為兩種情況：
1.漢語從正面表達時，英語從反面表達。小編簡稱為“漢正英反”。
2.漢語從反面表達時，譯文從正面表達。小編簡稱為“漢反英正”。
例子：他的演講不充實。
譯文：His speech is pretty thin。
批註：以上用法屬於“漢反英正”的用法。
