3) Steel is usually made where the iron ore is smelted, so that the modern steelworks forms a complete unity, taking in raw materials and producing all types of cast iron and steel, both for sending to other works for further treatment, and as finished products such as joists and other consumers.
通常炼铁的地方也炼钢。因此，现代炼钢厂是一个配套的整体，运进原料，生产各种类型的铸铁与钢材；有的送往其他工厂进一步加工处理，有的就地制成成品，如工字钢及其他一些成材。
2. 拆译法
这种方法是指将原文中的某一部分（如单词、短语或从句）提取出来单独处理，或放在译文句首，或放在译文句末，它既不同于倒置法，又有别于切分法，可用于保持原文的语气。
1) The number of the young people in the United States who cannot read is incredible-about one in four.
大约有四分之一的美国青年人没有阅读能力，这简直令人难以置信！(将单词拆分出来翻译)
2) The foreign visitors watched in a fascinated manner the tournament held in Beijing, which exhibited a superb performance in smash service, twist service, steady service, high drop and killing and ended in a draw.

3) The very important oil industry, which has done much to rejuvenate the economy of the South since the end of World War II, made considerable headway especially in the five states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas.

3. 插入标点法
这种方法是指插入原文中所没有的标点符号，如破折号、括号、冒号等。用这种方法可保持原文的连贯性。
1) The snow falls on every wood and field, and no crevice is forgotten; by the river and pond, on the hill and in the valley.
雪，在四处飘落着。雪花撒在树上，撒在田野里，撒在河边、湖畔、山上、谷底 ── 没有一条岩缝墙隙里不飘满雪花。(插入破折号)
2) The second aspect is the application by all members of society from the government official to the ordinary citizen, of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
第二个方面是全体社会成员（从政府官员到普通公民）都使用科学家们在他们工作中所采用的那种特殊的思考方法和行为方法。(插入括号)
3) If you go to visit Nobel‘s old residence, the house in which the great chemist remained a bachelor throughout his life, you will catch sight of a shelf laden with experimental records.
如果你参观诺贝尔的故居 ── 在那座房子里，这位伟大的化学家过了一辈子的独身生活 ── 你将会看到一个堆满实验记录的书架。(插入双破折号)
4) As far as sight could reach, I feasted my eyes on a vastness of infinite charm, which presents itself in a profusion of color, in verdant luxuriance, in dulcet warbling, in pervading perfume, in rippling undulation, in cataract sprays, in hilly waves, in field crisscross and verily in vitality and variety.
纵目眺望，我饱览了一片无限娇艳的风光：万紫千红，郁郁葱葱。鸟语悦耳，花香袭人，涟漪荡漾，瀑布飞流，层峦起伏，阡陌纵横，真是生机勃勃，气象万千。(插入冒号)
4. 句子重组法
重组法也叫做综合法，在准确地领会、把握了原文的基础上，打破原文的结构，用译者自己的话恰如其分地表达出原文的信息、含义和精神风貌。这是长句翻译中最难掌握的翻译方法，是对译者的外语和母语驾驭能力的一种严峻的挑战。
1) In practice, the selected interval thickness is usually a compromise between the need for a thin interval to maximize the resolution and a thick interval to minimize the error.
为保证最大分辨率必须选用薄层，为使误差最小却须选用厚层，实际上通常选择介于两者之间的最佳厚度。
2) Dr. Smith resumed the activities of anti-cancer experiment begun in 1945 and financed by the Federal government as soon as he snapped from his original disappointment at repeated failures, which had resulted in its forced suspension.
史密斯医生于1945年开始着手由联邦政府资助的抗癌实验。他由于屡遭失败而感到沮丧，被迫终止了实验工作。现在他又重新振作起来，恢复了抗癌实验活动。
3) But without Adolf Hitler, who was possessed of a demoniac personality, a granite will, uncanny instincts, a cold ruthlessness, a remarkable intellect, a soaring imagination and－until toward the end, when drunk with power and success, he overreached himself－an amazing capacity to size up people and situations, there almost certainly would never have been a Third Reich.
然而，如果没有阿道夫•希特勒，那就几乎可以肯定不会有第三帝国。因为阿道夫•希特勒有着恶魔般的性格、花岗石般的意志、不可思议的本能、无情的冷酷，杰出的智力、深远的想象力以及对人和时局惊人的判断力。这种判断力最后由于权力和胜利冲昏了头脑而自不量力，终于弄巧成拙。
