本文探讨了多语言翻译语料库中的三种对应关系：译文关系、来源关系和平行关系。本文比较了德语中man siht类型的结构，包括一般主语man和一个感知动词(1)它们在英语和挪威语中的翻译，(2)在德语翻译中产生这种结构的英语和挪威语文本的来源，以及(3)在英语和挪威语的平行翻译中，从另一种语言中引入了德语man。虽然在这三种语言中都有类似的方法，但有重要的差异，特别是在德语和英语之间。在德语和挪威语中，这三种对应关系产生了相同的总体模式，而在德语和英语中，这三种对应关系的模式因对应关系的类型而有很大差异。多语比较将语言的特点展现出来，使我们更清楚、更细致地看到异同。
This paper explores three types of correspondence relations in a multilingual translation corpus: translations, sources, and parallels. German structures of the type man sieht, with the generic subject man and a perception verb, are compared with (1) their translations into English and Norwegian, (2) the sources in English and Norwegian texts which give rise to such structures in German translations, and (3) the parallel translations in English and Norwegian where German man is introduced in the translation from the other language. Although similar means are available in the three languages, there are important differences, particularly between German and English. For German and Norwegian the three correspondence relations produce the same overall pattern, for German and English the patterns vary greatly with the type of correspondence relation. The multilingual comparison throws the characteristics of the languages into relief, so that we can see similarities and differences more clearly and in more detail.
