打好節(jié)能減排和環(huán)境治理攻堅(jiān)戰(zhàn)。環(huán)境污染是民生之患、民心之痛,要鐵腕治理。
We will fight to win the battle of conserving energy, reducing emissions, and improving the environment. Environmental pollution is a blight on people’s quality of life and a trouble that weighs on their hearts. We must fight it with all our might.
“打好”,好字其實(shí)不好翻譯。之前遇到過(guò)的“做好”、“搞好”,總是有不同的處理方式,需要結(jié)合具體語(yǔ)境。這里因?yàn)槭呛蛻?zhàn)斗搭配,所以用了 win。打好···戰(zhàn),其實(shí)也就是贏下來(lái)這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗的意思。所以這里也體現(xiàn)出這類中英文章的差別,一般情況下英文虛無(wú)的東西少,實(shí)在的意義多。漢譯英時(shí)要多從這個(gè)角度找突破口。
民生之患的英譯也體現(xiàn)了上面這點(diǎn)。民生一般是well-being,這里用的是quality of life,其實(shí)也是一個(gè)更具體的說(shuō)明,更適合與環(huán)境問(wèn)題掛鉤。
另外,有的時(shí)候其實(shí)直接去掉不譯都可以。寫過(guò)年終總結(jié)的話對(duì)這種詞一定很熟悉,各種做好、加強(qiáng)之類的詞其實(shí)很大程度上就是湊個(gè)字?jǐn)?shù),并不是核心含義。

This discriminatory policy has really been a blight on America...
這項(xiàng)歧視性政策確實(shí)成了美國(guó)的一大禍根。

英譯漢時(shí),基礎(chǔ)薄弱的同學(xué)可能對(duì)這類詞比較頭疼,看著都認(rèn)識(shí),但是翻譯出來(lái)語(yǔ)句不通。原因還是對(duì)詞的理解太淺,或者太局限。只知道常用的意思,不知道不常用的意思。即便掌握再多技巧,思維再怎么活躍,這種基礎(chǔ)問(wèn)題早晚也是木桶短板。
今年,二氧化碳排放強(qiáng)度要降低 3.1%以上,化學(xué)需氧量、氨氮排放都要減少 2%左右,二氧化硫、氮氧化物排放要分別減少 3%左右和 5%左右。
