正确理解汉语原文是汉译英的基础。这句话汉语原文的主语是“的”字结构,相当于一个名词短语;“是”是谓词,后面跟随表语部分。这个句子结构非常适合用英文特有结构what...is to do进行翻译,不仅形式上类似,而且语义表达也是很合理的。
建议的翻译:
What you need to do now is to forget what happened to you.
请注意:“what + 定语从句+be + 动词不定式表语”这个结构,在口语中也可以把动词不定式的标志词to省略。因此也可以说:
What you need to do now is forget what happened to you.
All you need to do is to forget the things happened to you.
All you need to do is to forget about what happened on you
