摘　　要：本文基于多译本文学翻译语料库探讨了影响汉语翻译文本语言运用质量的两个因素:句段长度和结构容量。研究认为,目前常用的句长分析解释力有限,句段长度和结构容量分析更能反映汉语翻译语言的特点。研究发现,结构容量直接影响句段长度,译本在句段长度上存在差异的主要原因是它们在结构容量上有差异;句段长度和结构容量直接影响行文的流畅和语言运用质量。鉴于此,应把结构容量引入汉语翻译语言质量评估系统。Based on an English-Chinese Literary Multi-version Corpus, the study attempts a look into sentence segment length （SSL） and construction＇s load capacity （CLC） to reveal the salient features of translational Chinese. It finds that a simplistic sentence length calculation is less reliable than SSL and CLC analysis, and that it is SSL but not sentence length that bears a close relationship to the quality of language use. It is also found that CLC has immediate influence on SSL, to the extent that the former directly accounts for the difference among versions in SS length. Considering the major influence of SSL and CLC on fluency and readability, and ultimately on the quality of language use, it is necessary to incorporate CLC in the framework of translation quality assessment.
