考研英语阅读和翻译是分不开的，要掌握文章主旨，理解文章内涵，必须要有一定的翻译能力，尤其是面对长难句时，模糊带过往往不能解决问题。新东方在线带领大家逐句翻译阅读真题，希望大家能够先打好基础，攻克长难句便指日可待。下面我们来看2003年第2篇第7、8句的翻译。
2003年第2篇第7、8句
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：
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。
