Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips, computers with inbuilt （成為固定裝置的，嵌入牆內的；內在的，固有的）personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell television, and digital age will have arrived。
例如：Interest in historical methods had arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline （身心的鍛煉，訓練；紀律，風紀，命令服從；懲戒，懲罰；學科，科目）and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves.
英文原句是個典型的長句，由27個片語成，中間沒有使用任何標點符號，完全靠語法結構使整個句子的意思化零為整：less through...and more from構成一個複雜的狀語修飾動詞arisen。在中文翻譯中，"產生興趣"這一重要內容通過一個獨立的句子表達，兩個不同的原因則分別由不同的句子表達，整個句子被化整為零。
例如：On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom he is compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.
原文中兩個only if引導的從句顯然使整個句子變得很複雜，可是由於有並列連詞but和and，整句話的邏輯關係十分清楚：…能夠得出結論…但是只要…而且只要…。從上面的譯文我們可以看出，為了使中文表達更加清楚，but only if...and only if...首先提綱挈領：但是必須具備兩個條件……，這種做法給我們的感覺是譯文中沒有從句，有的只是一些不同的分句。
And it is imagined by many that the operations of the common mind can by no means be compared with these processes, and that they have to be required by a sort of special training.
原文中有三個被動語態is imagined, be compared和be required，譯成漢語都變成了主動表達：認為、相比和掌握。
有些英語被動需要把主語譯成漢語的賓語，這樣才能更加符合中文的表達習慣。
例如：New sources of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore （歸還；恢復，復興；恢復健康，復原）that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the past time.
The m<I>onkey</I>'s most extraordinary accomplishment was learning to operate a tractor. By the age of nine, the m<I>onkey</I> had learned to solo on the vehicle.
Until such time as mankind has the sense to lower its population to the points whereas the planet can provide a comfortable support for all, people will have to accept more "unnatural food."
英語有兩句俗話：一是You know a word by the company it keeps.(要知義如何，關鍵看詞伙)，二是Words do not have meaning, but people have meaning for them.(詞本無義，義隨人生)。這說明詞典對詞的定義和解釋是死的，而實際運用中的語言是活的。從原文角度來說，這種活用是詞義和用法的引申，翻譯的時候要準確理解這種引申，譯者就需要進行推理。
例如：While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past.
"recreate"根據構詞法和一般詞典上解釋都是「重新創造」，而考研英語大綱辭彙表中只有名詞"recreation"，所給詞義為"娛樂、消遣"，在這種情況下，考生很容易把recreate譯成「重新創造」或者「娛樂」。仔細觀察recreate不難發現它帶有賓語the significant events of the part，從邏輯上來講，"過去的重大歷史事件"是不能"重新創造"的，作者顯然對recreate一詞的詞義進行了引申。做翻譯的人經常會有這樣一種感受：某個詞明明認識，可就是不知道該怎樣表達。這其實就是詞的引申和推理在起作用。
④One boy is a boy, two boys half a boy, three boys no boy.
在考研英譯漢中，省略是一種很常見現象。例如：
Whether to use tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the evidence from experience concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability.
比較：I was all the more delighted when, as a result of the initiative of your Government it proved possible to reinstate the visit so quickly.
譯文：由於貴國政府的提議，才得以這樣快地重新實現訪問。這使我感到特別高興。
The assertion that it was difficult, if not impossible, for a people to enjoy its basic rights unless it was able to determine freely its political status and to ensure freely its economic, social and cultural development was now scarcely （不足地，不充分地；一定不，絕不）contested （鬥爭；比賽）.
