這句各位你們覺得fortunes怎麼翻比較好?
我把它暫譯成"進展' 但不知是否有更好的譯法?
多益官方手冊第一本第一回中
OG 1 第196-200題的雙篇閱讀第一篇第三段
Industry analysts remain skeptical that she can turn around
the company's ailing fortunes.
OG1的中文翻譯:
對於Brown 博士是否能重整Randolph 公司日益艱困的財務狀況,
業界分析師仍抱持懷疑的態度。
整篇原文是:
Randolph Chemical announced earlier today the selection
of Michelle Brown as its new chief executive officer. Willard
Strong, Chairman of the Board of Randolph Chemical, said,
"We are delighted to have found someone of Michelle's caliber
to lead our organization."
Michelle Brown brings to the table a reputation as a strict cost
cutter. Prior to joining Randolph, Dr. brown was CEO of
Popovich Materials, where she reduced expenses by almost
a third in her four-year tenure. Dr. Brown has a bachelor's
degree in chemistry from Wyler College and a Ph.D. in
analytical chemistry from Porter University.
Industry analysts remain skeptical that she can turn
around the company's ailing fortunes. After her
selection was announced, company stock
dropped 1.2 percent in one afternoon.
Randolph Chemical is a global technology-based
company that manufactures and distributes plastics,
chemicals, and agricultural products. Their search,
which took eleven months, was conducted with the
aid of Darren Consulting.
OG1 把ailing fortunes翻成"益艱困的財務狀況"
我覺得怪怪的 因為根據OALD
這裡的fortunes有加s ,應該是比較像
OALD 或Longman理面講到的另一解釋,
但這解釋中文怎麼翻比較好呢? Dr. eye
跟顏元叔的英漢字典都沒提這解釋
6. fortune [ ] n.[C][U] [常用複數] 進展 <暫譯>
此字在這裡的用法與英漢字典提供的解決似乎合不來
但英英字典倒是有提供較清楚的解釋且
翻成中文"進展"時似乎勉強可以
以下提供fortune在本句中的應該的英英解釋以供參考:
請參考OALD解釋:
3 [countable, usually plural, uncountable]
the good and bad things that happen to a person, family, country, etc
the changing fortunes of the film industry
the fortunes of war
a reversal of fortune(s)
請參考Longman解釋:
3. what happens to you
[countable usually plural] the good or bad things that happen in life:
a downturn in the company's fortunes
This defeat marked a change in the team's fortunes.
The geographical position of the frontier fluctuated
with the fortunes of war (=the things that can happen during a war).
