在一些由中文翻译的英语样本、合同、广告和其他文件材料中常见一些翻译错误,现仅举几个出现频率较高的例子,试作分析,谨供读者朋友参考。
+jv}\Jt 1.由港澳国际投资公司投资的海口电站工程因其建设速度和质量 得到高度评价。 =A$Lgk>| 原译文:The Haikou Power Station Project invested by the Hongkong-Macau International Investment Co., Ltd. was highly appraised for its construction speed and quality. 8?A@/ 注:投资某项工程应为invest in a project,在被动语态中不能漏去前置词in。应译为: #dHr&1

ZYrKG+fkl 3.中国民生银行有限公司 an-\k*w 原译文:China Minsheng Banking Corporation, Ltd. <GSQ2bX[ 注:corporation本身即为有限公司,相当于limited company,英译中无需再加“Ltd”。应译为: "1_{c *ck China Minsheng Banking Corporation j@%K*Gb` 4.项目中标之后,我们将立即开始前期准备工作。
I/u'bDq 原译文:After the bid is awarded, we shall immediately start our advance-phase preparation.
