二、汉语系统里有从句吗
汉语是没有从句的，能够起到从句功能的结构用一般来说是作为短语出现，最贴近的是动宾短语和主谓短语，这么说是因为从句要求要有独立的动词，另一种起到从句作用的形式是散句，作为单独的句子中用连词连接开来。和英语中的从句最大的区别在于，英语的从句需要关系词引导，加上关系词的从句是一个完整的句子，而汉语则不然，汉语中的短语是缺少成分的，不是一个完整的句子。Today I have eaten 20 hamburgers which were bought in KFC.我今天吃了20个在开封菜买的汉堡。我今天吃了20个汉堡，它们是在开封菜买的。完整形式的定语从句翻译成中文，翻译为单句中的动宾短语时没有考虑which的翻译，而翻译为复句时which就要翻译为它所指代的对象，但是复句中的主次关系就不能直接体现出来，起到解释说明补充功能的复句也可以看作是从句，不过这种从属地位是逻辑语义上而非语法结构上的。
三、英语定语从句汉译的方法有
英语定语从句汉译的方法如下：
1、前置法
这是定语从句的翻译中较常见的一种，即把定语从句的内容翻译成“…………的”，放在被修饰词的前面。这种方法的使用有一个原则即是定语从句内容简短，翻译符合汉语表达习惯。
2、后置法
与前置法不同，后置法就是把定语从句的翻译放在被修饰词之后，这样做的目的在于使译文符合汉语的表达习惯。在此，定语从句的后置翻译分为三类：由which引导定语从句时一般翻译为“这”;另一些引导词则在翻译时重复先行词，即被修饰词;还有一些引导词在翻译时可以省略不译。
3、融合法
在限制性定语从句中，由于定语从句与主句关系紧密，所以定语从句往往翻译成句子的谓语部分，主语即是定语从句的先行词。这里讲的融合法即是将定语从句与主句融合为一个简单句的方法。这种用法往往用在“there be”结构带有定语从句的句型中。
4、状译法
英语的定语从句中有一类在形式上是主句的定语从句，而其所起的作用却相当于主句的状语，修饰主句的谓语或者全句。这种状语功能常常包括原因、结果、目的、条件、让步等，所以我们在翻译时需要弄清主句和定语从句之间的逻辑关系，从而是译文通顺合理，符合汉语表达习惯。
