[正译]非常可以下一次观察也与该法则相一致,不管它正确与否。
二、词义理解不当
英语词汇中一词多义的情况是相当多的,如只知其一,不知其二,就会造成错误理解。勤查和细查词典(包括用英语解释英语的英英词典)才能避免;所谓勤查是多查几本词典,所谓细查是从头到尾地查阅,不厌其烦,才能扩大视野,并找到合适的词义。
1. For the balance of the section, lets speak in straightforward and elementary terms to describe the function and form of the electronic computer.
[误译]为使这一节平衡起见,我们将用简单明了的术语来描述这种电子计算机的功能和形式。
[分析]在《朗曼当代英语词典》balance词条下可查到money or something else which remains or is left over,又见例句:May I take the balance of my holidays before the end of September ? [正译]在本节的其余部分,我们将用简单明了的术语来描述这种电子计算机的功能和形式。
2. We have a sales force at present of twenty-four salesmen of the road, each with his own territory.
[误译]目前我们有一支由20名外勤推销员组成的推销队正在途中,每人有他自己的推销领域。
[分析]在商业英语中on the road =away from home use,in regular travel on business esp. as a traveling salesman (Websters Third New International Dictionary of the English Language) ,故salesmen on the road 作外勤推销员解。
