On Methods of Translating Long English Sentence into Chinese Abstract: Translation is a rendering from one language into another, i.e. the faithful representation in one language of what is written or said in another language. However, the translation of long sentences is perhaps the most difficult of all in the process of English-Chinese translation. The so-called long English sentence is the one that contains complex structure, more modifiers, long rear attributives and more content levels. So when we are translating such long English sentences, we should begin with a careful analysis: (1) what the author is driving at；（2）what his argument or views are, and what “logic sequence” there is in the original; (3) what grammatical relations there are among the three, four, five, or even more “modifiers” in the long sentence to be translated. And in this paper, I will study the methods of translating long English sentence into Chinese. Thus I will focus on the five translation skills, which are translation in plain sequence, translation in backward sequence, embedding, inserting, recasting. Consequently, we can choose the translation skills accordingly and correctly.
