正譯法和反譯法：這兩種方法通常用于漢譯英，偶爾也用于英譯漢。所謂正譯，是指把句子按照與漢語相同的語序或表達方式譯成英語。所謂反譯則是指把句子按照與漢語相反的語序或表達方式譯成英語。正譯與反譯常常具有同義的效果，但反譯往往更符合英語的思維方式和表達習慣。因此比較地道。
如：
(1)在美國，人人都能買到槍。
In the United States, everyone can buy a gun. (正譯)

(2)你可以從因特網上獲得這一信息。
You can obtain this information on the Internet. (正譯)
This information is accessible/available on the Internet. (反譯)
