Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, “Then I would have to say yes.”

词汇：

immunization//n. 免疫接种

vaccine//n. 疫苗

assure//v. 保证，确保;弄清

结构：

Asked if she opposed immunizations(过去分词asked所带的状语，其中还有if引导的宾语从句), //she wanted to know(主句) //if vaccines come from animal research(if宾语从句).

When assured that they do(when引导的状语从句，相当于when she was assured…;后面的that是宾语从句), //she replied, “Then I would have to say yes.”(主句是she relied，后面引号是直接引语)

译文：考研总分是多少

问她是否反对免疫接种时，她说想知道疫苗是否来自动物实验。得知答案是肯定的，她回道，“那我不得不说，是的，我反对”。

翻译思路：补充替代的信息

英语中用do, so等词来作为替代手段，翻译的时候一般需要重复一下前面替代的内容。一个简单的例子：Whether you believe it or not. I do. 不管你信不信，我信。

在Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, shereplied, “Then I would have to say yes.”这两句话中，when assured that they do中的do意思是 come from animal research, 主语they当然指vaccines。还有then I would have to say yes中yes之后包含的意义是：Yes，I oppose immunization.。翻译的时候，需要重复一下，把中文逻辑说清楚。

今天的作业：

考研阅读逐句翻译2003年第2篇第9句和第10句 Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, “Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.” Such well-meaning people just don’t understand.
