chatting rooms on a larger scale.
【考点总结】上述试题原句中的“因而”是表示结果的词汇。同时,表示因果关系的词汇是我们翻译题必备的部分,不要只会简单的because和so,为大家总结如下:since; as; for; in that; owing to; due to; for the reason that...; in view of; therefore; consequently; as a result; thus; hence等。
例2.
饮茶在六世纪传到日本,但直到十七、十八世纪才传到欧美。

【参考译文】
Tea drinking spread into Japanese as early as in the 6th century, but it was not until the 17th and 18th centuries that it spread into Europe and America.
It wasn’t until October, 2012 that examination and approval restored cautiously.
【考点总结】上述两个试题原句均含有“(直)到/……才”结构。在遇到类似情况时,可用句型“not…until”译出。具体翻译时,也可使用强调句型“It is (was) not until + 时间/方式状语(从句)+ that +主句”译出。
例3.
这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍,使16万多所中小学受益。
【参考译文】
The fund was used to better the school’s teaching equipment and purchase books, benefiting more than 160,000 primary and middle school students.
【考点总结】在试题原句中,谓语动词“用于”和“使”的逻辑主语均为“这些资金”。如果遇到两个分句(逻辑)主语相同的情况,可首先考虑将其中某一分句处理为非谓语形式,以状语形式出现,使译文更有层次感。
