另外，當(dāng)漢語(yǔ)表示一般性或泛指性的內(nèi)容時(shí)，通常會(huì)省略主語(yǔ)，而在英語(yǔ)中卻需要用補(bǔ)充人稱代詞“one/you/we/they”等作主語(yǔ)。例如：

打蛇先打頭，擒賊先擒王。

去年下了不少雪。

還有一種情況是漢語(yǔ)句子中對(duì)名詞進(jìn)行重復(fù)是為了起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。譯成英文時(shí)可使用關(guān)系代詞“whoever/whichever”等。例如：

誰(shuí)在公共場(chǎng)所吐痰，誰(shuí)就要挨罰。

Whoever spits in a public place will be fined.

這三幅畫(huà)中你最?lèi)?ài)哪一幅，就拿哪一幅。

Take whichever of the three paintings you like best.

除上述幾個(gè)方面外，還有一個(gè)漢、英在代詞使用上的位置不同的問(wèn)題常常被忽視，那就是當(dāng)主句和從句同時(shí)提到同一個(gè)人或事物時(shí)，漢語(yǔ)的習(xí)慣是不論主句、從句的先后順序，先說(shuō)名詞，后用代詞；而英語(yǔ)中往往是主句用名詞，從句用物主代詞，例如：

在新市長(zhǎng)的就職演說(shuō)中，他強(qiáng)調(diào)了市政府要辦十件實(shí)事的重要性。

In his inauguration address, the new mayor stressed the importance of ten major projects designated on the municipal government's agenda.
