1.英语的一个习惯用法是：当否定谓语think(believe)时，实际上是否定其后面的宾语从句。否定就落在宾语从句上。这样宾语从句就变成了双重否定，译时可以按双重否定译，也可按肯定来译。
Itisavaluablework.Idonotthinkanyonewritessowellthathecannotlearnmuchfromit.
2."tohavenot…(as)tosee…"中的不定式也有否定意味。
Hehadnotthegoodbreedingtoseethatsimplicityandnaturalnessarethetruestmarksofdistinction.
3."Itoccurredtosb.that…"意为"突然想到"，"Itdawnedonsb.that…"."突然想起"等。从句是想起的内容。
Irememberoncebeingonabusandlookingatastranger.Hesuddenlylookedbackatme-i.e.oureyesmet.Myinstinctivereactionwastoavertmygaze.ItoccurredtomethatifIhadcontinuedtomaintaineyecontact,Iwouldhavebeenrudeandaggressive.
4."Itfollowsthat…"="Ithappensasaresult…"常常被译为"由此可见"，"因此"，"从前"，"可以推断"等等。
Itfollowsthatthehousewifewillalsoexpecttobeabletohavemoreleisureinherlifewithoutloweringherstandardofliving.Italsofollowsthathumandomesticservantswillhavecompletelyceasedtoexist.
5."that'sallthereistoit"，意思是"也不过如此而已"。可根据上下文视情况处理。
IfI'mtouched,I'mtouched-that'sallthereistoit.
6."Thechancesarethat…"是一句型，译为"有可能……"。
Thechancesareyouwillneverattemptthatspeedwithpoetryorwanttoracethoughsomepassagesinfictionoverwhichyouwishtolinger.
7.Feel,see,leave引起宾语的宾语补足语，或在被动语态中引起主语补足语的某些惯用句型，有时see和feel这两个词的被动式不大好译。遇到这种情况应挖掘其深层含义，不要拘泥于表面形式。
Theeducationoftheyoungisseentobeofprimaryimportance.
8.某此以no,nowhere,never,not…bout,not…any,nothingbut,hardly,scarcely,seldom等否定词语引出的一些结构。
InevergopastthetheatrebutIthinkofhislastperformance.
9.某些用choicebetween,toknowbetter,whetheror,shouldhaveavoided(或donebetter)等表示从两种做法中选取一种更好的做法
Thenwearefacedwithachoicebetweenusingtechnologytoprovideandfulfilneedswhichhavehithertobeenregardedasunnecessaryor,ontheotherhand,usingtechnologytoreducethenumberofhoursofworkwhichamanmustdoinordertoearnagivenstandardoflibing.
10.某些省略情况，应清单确认省略的内容。
Thecountryhadgrownrich,itscommercewaslarge,andwealthdiditsnaturalworkinmakinglifesofterandmoreworldly,commerceindeprovincializingthemindsofthoseengagedinit.
11.修饰成分(包括定语、定语从句、同位语从句等)多而长。
AcrossthecourtfromtheManhattanapartmentthatIhaveoccupiedforthepastfewyearsisadogthatoftenhurlsinsultsintothedarkness,afewofwhichmydogrefusestoacceptandmakesatartreply.
12.一些外位语，所谓外位修饰，指从句子结构和内容上不起主要信息表达功能的部分。其作用是从语气和连接上下文等方面进行补充。在翻译成汉语时，往往可独立成句，外形上不保留修饰的痕迹。
Ofcourse,nobodywashurtthistime,becausewehadallbeentodinner,noneofusbeingnovicesexceptingHastings;andhehavingbeeninformedbytheministeratthetimethatheinvitedhimthatindeferencetotheEnglishcustomthehadnotprovidedanydinner.
