因为英汉语言在使用分数方面的差异(如汉语的分母中极少使用小数点),如果英语减少的倍数中有小数点时,则应换算成分数。根据表达习惯英语中的2.5times ,汉语一般不说“二点五分之一”,这时应换算成整数分母,即“降低到五分之二”或“降低了五分之三”。

9.“decrease (reduce ,fall 等)+(by)n times”

“decrease (reduce ,fall 等)+n times as +a.(ad.)+as”“decrease (reduce ,fall 等)+by a factor of n

采用一种新工艺使这种电视的主要成本降低了71%。

算成整数分母,即“降低到5/17”或“降低了12/17”,但这样仍不符合汉语习惯。在不要求绝对精确的情况下,可进一步换算成百分数,即“降低到29%”或“降低了71%”。

(八)大数字的翻译

中国与英美数字方面的差异:

首先,数目的分位制不同。中国数字分位是“个、十、百、千”,再往上是“万、十万、百万、千万”,然后是“亿、十亿、百亿、千亿”,等等。而英美则习惯上以三位数来分位,即“个、十、百”,往上去是“千、十千、百千”,然后是“M(million百万)、十M、百M”,最后落脚点都在“百”上。

其次,命数法不同。中国以“万”和“亿”来命数,而英美以“million”和“billion”来命数。同时,英美的命数也有不同:“billion”在美国指“十亿”,在英国指“万亿(兆)”,美国则用“trillion”指“万亿(兆)”。

大数字的基本译法

nine thousand, seven hundred and forty-three a hundred and seventy-four thousand, three hundred and one eighteen million, six hundred and fifty-seven thousand, four hundred and twenty-one seven hundred and fifty million four billion (美式)或four thousand million (英式)twenty billion (美式)three hundred billion (美式)four million million 9,743174,301

18,657,421

750,000,000

40亿200亿

3000亿

4万亿

?英文数字读法规律(从右开始读,以美式英语为例):

?第一个逗号前的数字读成thousand,1,000 = one

thousand 第二个逗号前的数字读成million,1,000,000 = one

million 第三逗号前的数字读成billion,1,000,000,000 = one

billion 第四个逗号前的数字读成trillion,1,000,000,000,000 =

one trillion

本地区现在的粮食产量是二十年前的五倍。/本地区现在的粮食产量比二十年前增长了四倍。

Part II. Translate the following passages into Chinese. Passage 1 Savings provide one way to take care of financial losses. But savings are not the answer to large losses. The best way to guard against large financial losses is through insurance. Over 4,800 companies in the United States are in the business of providing insurance protection. These businesses are called insurance companies. Because most insurance companies operate on a big scale, they provide a way for large numbers of people to share their losses. Insurance can provide protection against almost any kind of loss. Singers may insure their voices. Photographers may insure their negatives. The owner of a home freezer may insure against food loss in case of a power failure. A business owner can insure his or her place of business. A business owner can also insure against a loss of profits during a shutdown following a fire or damaging accident. Like all private firms, insurance companies must charge enough for protection to pay their operating costs and make a profit. The main factor affecting the price of insurance, however, is the amount of risk involved. The more risk an insurance company assumes for a policyholder, the higher the premium. An insurance company must collect enough money from all its policyholders to pay the claims of those who have

商务英语翻译技巧整理

一.翻译原则 1.忠实原则,即信息对等而不是语意对等 Eg.每年的两届交易会,把全国几乎所有的外贸公司和出口商品集中起来,统一到广州展出,成交,减少了我们到国外推销的支出,外商也可以只派少数人到会选购,不必花大人力到我各口岸寻找生意,节省了买卖双方的费用,深受国外经营各种商品的中小客商的欢迎. The biannual Guangzhou Fair is attended by almost all foreign trade companies in China and presents a great number of export commodities to buyers from abroad. Many transactions are concluded at the fair. As sellers and buyers can all gather in one place to conduct trade talks, the fair apparently saves them a great deal of time and money. This explains why the Guangzhou Fair has long been popular among overseas traders. 2. 准确原则---选词准确,概念表达准确,数码单位准确. 如: 保税区≠Free trade zone 保税仓库≠Tarriff-free warehouse Eg.客商从开发区企业分得的利润汇出境外时,免征所得税. Profits gained by the investors and businessmen from the Development Zone terprises will be exempted from tax when remitted out of China. Eg.如贵方能将尿素报价降至每吨1200美元,我们可以订购150至180吨. If you can reduce your price of Urea to 1,200 dollars per ton, we may consider placing an order of 150-180 tons. 3.统一原则 译名,概念,术语应始终保持统一,不能随意改变译名. 如:基本建设≠basic construction 基本价格≠basic price 4.文化融入 A.注意文化因素---了解中西方文化差异 1)思维方式的不同 中国文化重权威与历史,西方重现实与事实---偏实用. 中国文化重整体,西方偏分析性思维 2) 语言的不同 中国语言重修饰,偏笼统与含糊,西方语言重具体和准确. 谦辞在许多场合被采用,体现了中国文化背景下语用特征之一.
