。由港澳國(guó)際投資公司投資的海口電站工程因其建設(shè)速度和質(zhì)量得到高度評(píng)價(jià)。
原譯文:The Haikou Power Station Project invested by the Hongkong-Macau International Investment Co., Ltd. was highly appraised for its construction speed and quality.
注:投資某項(xiàng)工程應(yīng)為invest in a project,在被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)中不能漏去前置詞in。
應(yīng)譯為:The Haikou Power Station Project invested in(在某些情況下可用financed or funded) by the Hongkong-Macau International Investment Co., Ltd. was highly appraised for its construction speed and quality.
2. 上海 SFECO擁有5個(gè)控股子公司。
原譯文:Shanghai SFECO Group has 5 share-holding companies.
注:share-holding company指控制或持有某公司股權(quán)的股東公司。上述譯文意思是5個(gè)公司持有Shanghai SFECO Group的股份,換句話說(shuō),這5個(gè)公司是“老子”公司,因此顯然不符合中文原意。
應(yīng)譯為:Shanghai SFECO Group is a holding company of 5 subsidiary companies.或Shanghai SFECO Group holds shares of 5 subsidiary companies.
3. 中國(guó)民生銀行有限公司。
原譯文:China Minsheng Banking Corporation, Ltd.

注:項(xiàng)目中標(biāo)應(yīng)為accept a bid or award the contract。顯然上述譯文把兩種表達(dá)法相混淆了。
應(yīng)譯為:After the bid is accepted (or the contract is awarded), we shall immediately start our advance-phase preparation.

《商務(wù)活動(dòng)中常見(jiàn)的英語(yǔ)翻譯錯(cuò)誤》(http://www.szmdbiao.com)。原譯文:Welcome you to visit our fair!
注:譯文中welcome是動(dòng)詞,因此此句是祈使句形式,省略的主語(yǔ)為第二人稱你(你們),而不是中文所含的我(我們)之意。
應(yīng)譯為:We welcome you to visit our trade fair!更簡(jiǎn)潔而地道的譯法是:Welcome to our trade fair!
6. 我公司出口工業(yè)產(chǎn)品、化工產(chǎn)品、醫(yī)藥等。
原譯文:Our company exports industrial products, chemicals, medicines and etc.

注:雙方中任何一方為either of the two parties,三方(或三方以上)中任何一方才用any of the parties,因本句為否定句,
應(yīng)譯為:Neither of the two parties can divulge the contents of the contract to a third party after the conclusion of the contract.
9. 在雙方簽約之后,各方將嚴(yán)格遵守本協(xié)議。
原譯文:After this agreement is signed by the two parties, all parties shall strictly abide by it.注:與上一條相類似,在協(xié)議當(dāng)事方為三方(或三方以上)時(shí),各方為all parties,而當(dāng)事方為兩方時(shí)應(yīng)用both parties。
應(yīng)譯為:After this agreement is signed by the two parties, both parties shall strictly abide by it.
