转译：英语中常用介词来表达动作意义。汉译时，可将介词转译成动词。
①在作表语的介词短语中，介词常转译为动词，而连系动词则省略不译。如：This machine is out of repair.这台机器失修了。
②在作目的或原因状语的介词短语中，介词有时转译成动词。如：
The letter E is commonly used for electromotive force.通常用E这个字母表示电动势。
③在作条件、方式或方法状语的介词短语中，介词有时转译成动词。如：
But even the larger molecules with several hundred atoms are too ***all to be seen with the best optical microscope.但是，即使有几百个原子的分子也是太小了，用1好的光学显微镜也看不见它们。“译”是指这两种语言转换的过程，把甲语转换成乙语，在译成当地语言的文字中，进而明白乙语的含义。
④介词短语作补足语时，其中介词常转译成动词。如：
Heat sets these particles in random motion.热量使这些粒子作随机运动。
