2 ．他们还痛恨犹太人。而且动手迫害他们，就连一心思考，超脱时间、空间和政治问题的爱因斯坦也得不到尊重。

    They also hated Jews and began to attack them ． There was no respect, even for Albert Einstein, who only wanted to think of the problems beyond time and space and politics ．

    “就连一心思考，超脱时间、空间和政治问题的” is a long modifier put before “爱因斯坦”． But in English, we put it after “ Einstein ” with an attributive clause beginning with “ who ”．

    In this case ． the Chinese sentence structure is usually not that complicated ．

    It ' s easy for us to pick up and group the modifiers together ． In the sentences above, it is clear that “即使那些没有被告知严重病情的” and “就连一心思考，超脱时间、空间和政治问题的” are modifiers and can be put in attributive clauses ．

    However, sometimes an attributive clause is used in the English translation even though it is not an attributive in the Chinese ． We do this to make the translation more logically acceptable ． For example ：

    他同副总统尼克松谈过话。副总统向他担保，凡是能够做得到的都将全力去做 .

    He had talked to Vice President Nixon, who assured him that every that could be done would be done ．

    There are two sentences in Chinese, but we combine them into one with an attributive clause beginning with “ who ”． The clause makes the English version more concise ．

    There are some other methods to translate long Chinese sentences with attributives ． In any case, the sentence arrangement and structure should be flexible ． If we can stick to me principle of “吃透原文，灵活表达”， the work of translation won ' t be as hard as we think ．
