　　词句点拨

1.第2句为无主语句，翻译时可补充出主语0ne，译作When painting, one uses a brush to dip it in black ink...，但这种译法显得较为繁冗。此处宜把时间状语“绘画时”转换成主句is done,“用毛笔蘸黑墨......”处理成方式状语，用介词短语with a brush dipped in black...来表达，这样句子更简洁、逻辑关系更强。

2.在第3句中，“可分为几大类”可译为短语be divided gories;“写意派和工笔派”则可用定语从 句which are...来表达。

3.第4句含有对比的并列结构，可用表对比的连词while来连接。该句中的“注重……描绘细节”译成attach importance to detail即可达意，省译“描绘”;“以精细的笔法”是方式状语，可用介词短语with fine brush work来表达，置于句末。

4.在最后一句中，定语“不同时期的”较长，可将其处理成后置定语，表达为at different times/periods。
