一、断句
对于一个长难句的翻译我们首先给它切分成不同的意群，而在切分过程中，不能随便切分，而是遵循两个原则：长度适中(5-15词)和结构完整。在实际操作中标点符号、从句或短语可以帮助我们进行断句。
例1：This would be reasonable// if it were not for the fact //that scientists can easily arrange to cite themselves in their future publications, //or get associates to do so for them in return for similar favours.(2019.49)
二、顺译
所谓的顺译，就是对于长难句断句后，每个部分按照英文原来的顺序进行翻译。
例2：many countries are introducing English into the primary-school curriculum
许多国家正在引进英语 进入小学课程，
but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement
但英国的中小学生和大学生似乎没有获得更多的鼓励
to achieve fluency in other languages.
以获得流利度 在其他语言。(2017.48)
