从以上例子可以看出，增词译法在英译汉中主要是添
加原文中虽无形式却意在其中的成分; 在汉译英中一般是添加原文中为了语言简洁而被省去的成分.
增词的情况是各种各样的．总的规则是: 为了使译文忠于原文，需要增加什么就增加什么. 根据以上例子, 大致归纳如下:
1．增译的部分在原文中虽找不出对应词语、但为了忠实传达原文信息，译文非增不可
2．增加动词 3．增加名词 4，增加主谓结构 5．增加定语
6．增加状语或副词 7. 增加语气助词 5．增加代词 9．增加连词
汉译英时，增加连词的情况是常见的，因为英语的连词比汉语使用的多. 冠词的情况更是如此． 第三节 省词译法
和其他一切事物一样，翻译也是有增必有减。懂了增译法之后自然也就会懂得什么是减译法。它是增译法的反面: 以同一个译例来说，在英译汉中如果用增译法的话, 在汉译英中自然就要用减译法了。把第二节中的例子倒译的话（即把汉译英改为英译汉或把英译汉变为汉译英），所用的译法就不是增译法而是减译法了。
关于减译法，应该记住这样一条总原则：减译法是指原文中有些词在译文中不译出来，因为译文虽无其词而已有其意,或者在译文中是不言而喻；换言之，减译法是删去一些可有可无的, 或者有了反嫌累赘或违背译文习惯表达的词, 但减译并不是把原文的某些思想内容删去．
此外，冠词,连词,代词(尤其是人称代词,关系代词),关系副词等等，在英语中经常使用，但译成汉语时几乎很少出现，要使译文忠实而地道, 减译法就自然必不可少了.例如：
1. A book is useful． 书（是）有用（的）．
2 ．The earth goes around the sun. 地球绕太阳转。
3 ．On Sundays we have no school. 礼拜天我们不上学．
4．Mr．Bingley was good-looking and gentleman-like. 宾利先生风度翩翩，彬彬有礼．
5. A wise man will not marry a woman who has attainments but no virtue. 聪明的人是不会娶有才无德的女子为妻的．

7．Sunday is the day when I am least busy. 星期天我最不忙
