大概解析(12个点)
1. 重复了:“重点领域工程建设”直接翻译为key projects就可以了,不用再说in major fields,避免重复。
2. 缺冠词:“有序”可以说in an orderly manner/fashion/way,是固定表达,指一种……的方式,要加冠词an。
3. 选词错误:opened是打开的意思,open commercial use of 5G不搭配,“5G商用正式开启”的“开启”应该用launched,表示启动。
4. 固定表达错误:新兴业态new forms of business,new business models,是固定表达。
不能说new business,因为a new business表示新公司,pursue new business表示开拓新业务。
5. 逻辑错误:“助力新兴业态快速发展”是“人工智能、大数据等重点领域工程建设有序推进,5G商用正式开启”带来的结果,不是目的,因为已经发生了,强调带来的影响和意译,所以不能用to facilitate,改为facilitating the rapid development of new forms of business。
6. 用词不当:“全国实物商品网上零售额同比增长21.6%”不能说National online retail sales of physical goods were a year-on-year increase of 21.6%,were是系动词,表示“是”的意思,不对。
需要改为saw a year-on-year increase of 21.6%或were up by 21.6%。“同比增长”经常用see a year-on-year increase of x percent或grew/were up (by) x percent year on year.
7. 专业表达错误:社会消费品consumer goods,是一个专业表达,不能翻译为 society goods。
8. 搭配错误:通过a year-on-year increase of 21.6%,我们可以看出这里比较的是increase增长,所以不能直接说outpacing total retail sales,而是需要增译the growth,即outpacing the growth of total retail sales.
9. 介词错误:“快于社会消费品零售总额13.2个百分点”译文outpacing the growth of ... for 13.2 percentage points的介词for不对;
“超过”是outpace sth by+数字,介词是by引出幅度,所以应该把for改为by。
10. 时态错误:“适应市场需要的新产品快速增加”译文是There are a rapid increase in new products to meet market demand,这里的时态不对;
这一整段话都是在总结过去取得的成就,时态是一般过去时,there are应该改为there was。
11. 连词错误:“3D打印设备、智能手表、服务机器人、新能源汽车等产品产量增长较快,同比分别增长271.4%、162.9%、86.5%和34.6%”中虽然两个“增长”,但是如果翻译为the production of 3D printers, smart watches, service robots, and new-energy vehicles increasing fast with a rapid year-on-year increase of 271.4%, 162.9%, 86.5%, and 34.6% respectively,就存在用词重复。
其实通过后面的271.4%、162.9%、86.5%和34.6%,完全可以看出是“增长较快”,所以不需要都翻译;
可以只翻译“产品产量同比分别增长271.4%、162.9%、86.5%和34.6%”,因此这个可以翻译为increasing by 271.4%, 162.9%, 86.5%, and 34.6% respectively on a year-on-year basis,或者seeing rapid year-on-year increases of 271.4%, 162.9%, 86.5%, and 34.6% respectively。
12. 单复数错误:“3D打印设备、智能手表、服务机器人、新能源汽车等产品产量增长较快,同比分别增长271.4%、162.9%、86.5%和34.6%”这里的“增长”包括好几种产品的增长,不能是单数a rapid year-on-year increase of,改为rapid year-on-year increases of。
