對比China Daily與CNN的譯文

例:

我們的人民熱愛生活,期盼有更好的教育、更穩(wěn)定的工作、更滿意的收入、更可靠的社會保障、更高水平的醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生服務、更舒適的居住條件、更優(yōu)美的環(huán)境。(習近平在十八屆一中全會中的一句話)

China Daily 譯為

Our people have an ardent love for life. They wish to have better education, more stable jobs, more income, greater social security, better medical and health care, improved housing conditions and a better environment. 

CNN 譯為(報道中)

'Our people have great enthusiasm in life,' he said. 'They hope for better education, more stable jobs, more satisfactory income, more reliable social security, medical services with higher standards, more comfortable living conditions and a more beautiful environment.'

主要區(qū)別在于:

“熱愛生活”的譯法

“期盼”的譯法——這個有意思。中國日報譯為 wish to 很弱,因為wish 通常都是些比如 birthday wish, Christmas wish... 有點得不到的東西才wish ,而CNN譯為 hope for... 當然我知道很多同學要吐槽,說中國日報譯得相當準確。

“更滿意的收入”——CNN把“滿意”譯出來了,因為這還是一個挺關鍵的詞

“更可靠的社會保障”——CNN 也更準確

“更高水平的醫(yī)療”——CNN  medical services with higher standards
