英文整句翻译（精选6篇）
一.整句与散句的变换与选择
A、概念及作用
整句指结构相同或相似，字数大体相等、排列整齐的一组句子。整句多使用对偶句、排比句、对比句、反复句、顶针句、回环句，也使用具有同一种关系的复句。整句的修辞作用是形式整齐，音节和谐．可以起到强调某种意义的加强语势的作用。
散句指结构不同，长短不齐的一组句子。短句的作用是活泼自然，富有变化。无单调、呆板之感。
恰当地交替使用整句和散句，可以收到生动活泼、挥洒自如而又节奏鲜明、气势贯通的效果。
B、整句与散句的变换方法
要使散句变成整句，就要使句子的结构相同或相似。能够体现结构相同或相似的句子最常见的是排比句和对偶句。做题时可对句子进行分析综合，找出其相似点，从而划类归一，变成对偶句或排比句。整句变散句的要求则与散句变整句的要求相反。
如：①将下面散句改为整句。
十八年来，我有时把你当作骄傲的资本，有时你又成为我进取的障碍，兴致一来，我希望你的美会成为世界之最；但一时发烧，即使把你削掉去做尼姑也不解恨。
改为：十八年来，我有时把你当做骄傲的资本，有时把你看作进取的障碍，有时我希望你的美成为世界之最，有时我恨不得把你削掉做尼姑。
②将下面划线整句改为散句；
尽管他们来自不同的地区，尽管他们彼此不相识，尽管他们的性格有所不同，但共同的语言却把他们紧紧地连在一起。
改为：尽管这些来自不同地方的人们彼此素不相识，性格也有所不同，但共同的语言却把他们紧紧地连在一起。
C、整散句的运用
写作中．语言分比重很大，占15分左右。下面结合语言实践谈谈整散句的运用。
【例题1】①记者见到了村支书，也见到了村图书馆的主任。
②记者见到了村支书，村图书馆的主任也见到了。
这两句话①是整句，两个分句都是“谓语十受动者”。②是散句，第一个分句是“谓语十受动者”，第二个分句是“受动者十谓语”。整句的优点是语气顺畅，语意贯通。如①前一分句提示了后一分句的结构，后一分句结构又跟前一句相同，所以让人感到流畅。
【例题2】现在人们越来越重视保健，因为生活水平提高了，吃得越来越好，肥胖的人越来地多。现在的老年人更重视保健，因为吃的事物含热量大，而脏器功能趋于老化，担负不了那么大的工作量。
这也是整句，都是因果复句，结果句在前，原因句在后。读头一句时见到了前果后因句，读后一句时读到了结果，就知后边要讲原因，思路不用拐弯，因而会感到十分顺畅。不过，整句可不能用得太多：因为句式全一致，太多了会使人感到枯燥无味。
【例题3】宇宙是无限大的，星星是无限众多的。同无限众多的星星相比较，已经数清的星星总是极其有限的。因此，天上星，数不清，这是绝对的。天上星，数得清，这是相对的。星星的总数是无限的，是数不清的。但是，在一定的范围内，星星还是数得清的，而且这个范围还是在不断扩大之中的。
“是……的”句太多，读来令人厌烦。所以，除了排比句之外，一般说来，整句最好不要越过四五个。
散句的优点是活泼。如： 【例题4】中非地处非洲大陆的腹地。这里没有风和日丽的春光，天高气爽的秋色也看不到，更没有银装素裹的冬景，只有雨旱交替的夏季。
在一些优秀作文中，时常发现有些学生利用古诗文，适时引用，形成整句，既展示了考生丰富的文化底蕴，又展示了迷人的`灵动风采。
二、排比式整句
排比式整句主要是通过修辞的方法来连缀展示。一是内容上排比，增强了丰富的内涵，二是意义上的递进，增强了说服力，渲染了气氛，提高了气势。
三、比喻式整句
比喻式整句，就是运用一系列比喻，用形象、具体、感性的事物，来表达抽象的深邃的内蕴的语段。
四、假设式整句
假设式整句，就是利用假设的句式来组织语段，利用排比推理的方式构成的相对整齐的句子。
五、对比式整句
对比式整句，就是用对比形式的整齐语句来构成语段，正反鲜明，从而收到突出文意、强化主题的效果。
六、四字词连用式整句
七、转折式整句
八、对称式整句
九、条件式整句
十、因果式整句

摘要：机电一体化是现代科学技术发展的必然结果。此简述机电一体化技术的基本情况和发展背景，综述国内外机电一体化技术的现状，分析机电一体化技术的发展趋势。
关键词：机电一体化技术 发展趋势
现代科学技术的不断发展，极大地推动了不同学科的交叉与渗透，工程领域的技术改造与革命。在机械工程领域，由于微电子技术和计算机技术的迅速发展及其向机械工业的渗透所形成的机电一体化，使机械工业的技术结构、产品结构、功能与构成、生产方式及管理体系发生了巨大变化，使工业生产由“机械电气化”迈入以“机电一体化”为特征的发展阶段。
1机电一体化概述
机电一体化是指在机构的主功能、动力功能、信息处理功能和控制功能上引进电子技术，将机械装置与电子化设计及软件结合起来所构成的系统的总称。机电一体化发展至今已经成为一门有着自身体系的新型学科，随着科学技术的不断发展，还将被赋予新的内容。但其基本特征可概括为：机电一体化是从系统的观点出发，综合运用机械技术、微电子技术、自动控制技术、计算机技术、信息技术、传感测控技术及电力电子技术，根据系统功能目标要求，合理配置与布局各功能单元，在多功能、高质量、高可靠性、低能耗的意义上实现特定功能价值，并使整个系统最优化的系统工程技术。由此而产生的功能系统，则成为一个机电一体化系统或机电一体化产品。因此，“机电一体化”涵盖“技术”和“产品”两个方面。机电一体化技术是基于上述群体技术有机融合的一种综合技术，而不是机械技术、微电子技术及其它新技术的简单组合、拼凑。这是机电一体化与机械加电气所形成的机械电气化在概念上的根本区别。机械工程技术由纯技术发展到机械电气化，仍属传统机械，其主要功能依然是代替和放大的体系。但是，发展到机电一体化后，其中的微电子装置除可取代某些机械部件的原有功能外，还被赋予许多新的功能，如自动检测、自动处理信息、自动显示记录、自动调节与控制、自动诊断与保护等。也就是说，机电一体化产品不仅是人的手与肢体的延伸，还是人的感官与头脑的延伸，智能化特征是机电一体化与机械电气化在功能上的本质区别。机电一体化的发展状况
机电一体化的发展大体可以分为三个阶段：(1)20世纪60年代以前为第一阶段，这一阶段称为初级阶段。在这一时期，人们自觉不自觉地利用电子技术的初步成果来 1
完善机械产品的性能。特别是在第二次世界大战期间，战争刺激了机械产品与电子技术的结合，这些机电结合的军用技术，战后转为民用，对战后经济的恢复起到了积极的作用。那时，研制和开发从总体上看还处于自发状态。由于当时电子技术的发展尚未达到一定水平，机械技术与电子技术的结合还不可能广泛和深入发展，已经开发的产品也无法大量推广。(2)20世纪70-80年代为第二阶段，可称为蓬勃发展阶段。这一时期，计算机技术、控制技术、通信技术的发展，为机电一体化的发展奠定了技术基础。大规模、超大规模集成电路和微型计算机的出现，为机电一体化的发展提供了充分的物质基础。这个时期的特点是：mechatronics一词首先在日本被普遍接受，大约到20世纪80年代末期在世界范围内得到比较广泛的承认;机电一体化技术和产品得到了极大发展;各国均开始对机电一体化技术和产品给予很大的关注和支持。(3)20世纪90年代后期，开始了机电一体化技术向智能化方向迈进的新阶段，机电一体化进入深入发展时期。一方面，光学、通信技术等进入机电一体化，微细加工技术也在机电一体化中崭露头脚，出现了光机电一体化和微机电一体化等新分支。中国是从20世纪80年代初才开始进行这方面的研究和应用。国务院成立了机电一体化领导小组，并将该技术列入“863计划”中。在制定“九五”规划和2010年发展纲要时充分考虑了国际上关于机电一体化技术的发展动向和由此可能带来的影响。许多大专院校、研究机构及一些大中型企业对这一技术的发展及应用做了大量的工作，取得了一定成果。但与日本等先进国家相比，仍有相当差距。机电一体化的发展趋势
机电一体化是集机械、电子、光学、控制、计算机、信息等多学科的交叉综合，它的发展和进步依赖并促进相关技术的发展。机电一体化的主要发展方向大致有以下几个方面：
3.1 智能化
智能化是21世纪机电一体化技术的一个重要发展方向。人工智能在机电一体化的研究中日益得到重视，机器人与数控机床的智能化就是重要应用之一。这里所说的“智能化”是对机器行为的描述，是在控制理论的基础上，吸收人工智能、运筹学、计算机科学、模糊数学、心理学、生理学和混沌动力学等新思想、新方法，使它具有判断推理、逻辑思维及自主决策等能力，以求得到更高的控制目标。诚然，使机电一体化产品具有与人完全相同的智能，是不可能的，也是不必要的。但是，高性能、高速度的微处理器使机电一体化产品赋有低级智能或者人的部分智能，则是完全可能而且必要的。
3.2 模块化
模块化是一项重要而艰巨的工程。由于机电一体化产品种类和生产厂家繁多，研制和开发具有标准机械接口、电气接口、动力接口和环境接口等的机电一体化产品单元是一项十分复杂但又非常重要的事情。如研制集减速、智能调速、电机于一体的动力单元，具有视觉、图像处理、识别和测距等功能的控制单元，以及各种能完成典型操作的机械装置等。有了这些标准单元就可迅速开发出新产品，同时也可以扩大生产规模。为了达到以上目的，还需要制定各项标准，以便于各部件、单元的匹配。
3.3 网络化
由于网络的普及，基于网络的各种远程控制和监视技术方兴未艾，而远程控制的终端设备本身就是机电一体化产品。现场总线和局域网技术的应用使家用电器网络化已成大势，利用家庭网络(home net)将各种家用电器连接成以计算机为中心的计算机集成家电系统(computer integrated appliance system，CIAS)，能使人们呆在家里就可分享各种高技术带来的便利与快乐。因此，机电一体化产品无疑将朝着网络化方向发展。
3.4 微型化
微型化兴起于20世纪80年代末，指的是机电一体化向微型机器和微观领域发展的趋势。国外称其为微电子机械系统(MEMS)，泛指几何尺寸不超过1cm3的机电一体化产品，并向微米、纳米级发展。微机电一体化产品体积小，耗能少，运动灵活，在生物医疗、军事、信息等方面具有无可比拟的优势。微机电一体化发展的瓶颈在于微机械技术。微机电一体化产品的加工采用精细加工技术，即超精密技术，它包括光刻技术和蚀刻技术两类。
3.5 环保化
工业的发达给人们生活带来巨大变化。一方面，物质丰富，生活舒适;另一方面，资源减少，生态环境受到严重污染。于是，人们呼吁保护环境资源，回归自然。绿色产品概念在这种呼声下应运而生，绿色化是时代的趋势。绿色产品在其设计、制造、使用和销毁的生命过程中，符合特定的环境保护和人类健康的要求，对生态环境无害或危害极少，资源利用率极高。设计绿色的机电一体化产品，具有远大的发展前景。机电一体化产品的绿色化主要是指，使用时不污染生态环境，报废后能回收利用。
3.6 系统化
未来的机电一体化更加注重产品与人的关系，机电一体化的人格化有两层含义：一层是如何赋予机电一体化产品人的智能、情感、人性等等，显得越来越重要，特别是对家用机器人，其高层境界就是人机一体化;另一层是模仿生物机理，研制出各种
翻译之英文
1.The Lotus Mountain is one of the new Eight Sights of the Goat City in Panyu District of Guangzhou about 20 kilometers away from the city.In the mountain area, there is a well-preserved ancient quarry dating back 2000 years, a pagoda built during the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, an old castle constructed during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty and a newly set-up Guanyin Statue which is the tallest of its kind in the world.2.The Lotus Mountain comprises 48 red-rock hills.The red sandstone here,with its high density and fine grains,is a kind of good material.So, as far back as the 2nd century BC during the Western Han Dynasty,people had started quarrying stones here for construction.3.The Lotus Pagoda is 50 meters high and was built at the highest point of the main peak.Therefore,in the past, it often served as a navigation mark for the ships that sailed upstream from the Lingding Ocean along the Pearl River to Guangzhou.4.In Chinese Buddhism, Guanyin has 36 incarnations.Before the Tang Dynasty, it used to appear as a male and was gradually changed into female afterwards.She looks sedate and kind.With a magic vase and a willow branch in her hands,she has supernatural power to bring the dead back to life.5.By the side of the statue is the Guanyin Pavilion.It was completed on Oct.20th.1997, that is , Sept.19th in Chinese lunar calendar,the birthday of Guanyin.Inside the Pavilion, there are 1000 small Guanyin statues of jade.wood.bronze and coloured porcelain—a fact that makes it worthy of the name Thousand Buddha Pavilion.6.At the northeast end of theLotus Mountain stands an old castle,built at the third year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty(AD1664).It was a barracks for the Qing army and was a supplementary part of the defense system at the Pearl River estuary set up by the Qing government during the Opium War.7.In the 19th century, China was in an era when its feudal social system was on the wane while the Western capitalist countries(especially Britain)were at the best of times when they enjoyed a rapid industrial development.8.The Chen Family Temple, also called Chen Clan Academy, was also a school for children of the Chen Families.In 1959,it was converted into the Guangzhou Folk Art Museum,for the temple structure itself is a comprehensive expression of the exquisite Guangdong folk arts and crafts.9.Covering a ground space of 15,000 square meters, with a floor space of 6,400 square meters, the Chen Family Temple was built in the traditional Chinese architectural style.10.On the wall on the either side of the main entrance is a picture carved on bricks,depicting different stories from Chinese historical novels.They are regarded as representative works of the exquisite Guangdong brick-carving.11,The stone drums at the main entrance are a symbol of social status of the Chen family.In the feudal society ofthe Qing Dynasty,people could place a pair of drums in front of their house only when someone in their family had been conferred an academic degree of(or higher than)“jinshi’,a title given to successful candidates in the imperial examination.12.The two portraits on the door-leaves are door-gods.Original door-gods were two legendary gods,Shentu and Yulei, who, it is said, were able to catch ghosts and protect a house from evil spirits.13.Look at this picture.A hen and some chicks are walking leisurely looking for food under the shade of the big leaves of a banana tree.The chickens here are not portrayed just for chickens’sake but are likened to the present generations of the family.Also, the big leaves of the banana tree are compared to the great property or great wealth created by past generations, because the Chinese words for “big leaf” and the words for “great property” or “great wealth”are homophones of each other.14.At the tops of the balusters are carved several kinds of fruit that abound in South China:peach,star-fruit,papaya and so on.They are symbolic offerings to the Chen family’s ancestors.15.Here is the rear hall of the temple and was the place where the Chen people worshiped their ancestors.On the shrine there used to be tablets of their ancestors,which were arranged in the order of seniority in the family.The one at the top was “Emperor Shun”,who was believed to be the remote ancestor of the Chen family.16.It covers an area of about 30,000 square meters.Its exhibits include physical objects,historical pictures,diagrams and three grand scenes.Chinese people’s fighting against opium over 150 years ago is played here again vividly.This site reminds people of the war which shocked the world at that time.17.With great efforts, 1,150,000 kilograms of opium was seized from British people on the sea in this town.From June
