ust solve the problem of raising working efficiency．
B：Governments at all levels must increase working efficiency．
(10)我们应当做好经济特区的发展规划。
A：We should do a good job in drawing up economic zones．
B：We should draw up sound plans for the development of the special economic zones．
这两个例子中，原译的斜体部分为动宾结构，属冗余信息，不仅缺乏实质内容，而且拗口。改译时可将它完全删除，把后面的动名词短语转化为限定形式，作句子的谓语。另外，在汉英刮译中，为了使译文更简洁，可以使用一些动词替代相应的动词短语，如：
to investigate = to make an investigation of
to decide to = to make a decision to
to influence = to have an influence on
to respect= to have respect for
to assist to provide assistance to
to improve = to bring about an improvement in
to control = to exercise control over

2．3形容词与副词冗余
汉语中有很多加强语气的副词，属冗余信息，如“不切实际的幻想”、“毫无根据的诽谤”等。受汉语表达方式的影响，如将这两个短语分别译为“impractical illusion”和“groundless defamation”，不仅不合逻辑，而且歪曲原意，实属多此一举(幻想本来就是不实际的。诽谤本来就毫无根据)。类似的例子还有：
(11)严重的自然灾害
A：a serious natural disaster
B：a natural disaster
(12)这一理论是党的宝贵精神财富。
A：That theory is a valuable ideological treasure of the Party．
B：That theory is an ideological treasure of the Party．
例(11)、(12)中斜体部分的形容词与其所修饰的名词形成了信息冗余，disaster一词蕴含着serious之意，而treasure也无需valuable来修饰。再如：
(13)这样，我们就能够抓住这个有利机会把国民经济提高到一个新的水平。
A：In this way, we can seize the favorable opportunity to raise the national economy to a new leve1．
B：In this way, we can seize the opportunity to raise the national economy to a new leve1．
(14)农业的发展依然是中国国民经济发展的重要基础。
A：Agricultural growth remains the important foundation for the development of China’s national economy as a whole．
B：Agricultural growth remains the foundation for the development of China’s national economy as a whole．
汉语中的许多副词常用来加强动词或形容词的意义，如：胜利召开、热烈欢迎、认真执行、彻底粉碎等。如果直译成英语，常常会与所修饰的词构成语义冗余。再如：
