※ 引述《sherrypure (从前从前有一只小喵咪)》之铭言： : 最近对翻译的英文专利内容里的文法越来越疑惑了... : 主要有下面几个针对常用语的问题： : 1.a plurality of signals(signals为举例) : 後面的动词到底是要根据a plurality of而使用单数? : 还是根据signals使用复数呢?(我目前大多用复数...) 应该是复数。 : 2.一固定装置，设於该基座及该垫体之间，适於可拆式地结合该基座及该垫体 : (1)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad, : the fastening device detachably being adapted to fasten the : base and the pad together; : (2)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad, : being adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together; : (3)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad, : adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together; : (4)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad : and adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together; : (5)a fastening device being disposed between the base and the pad : and adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together; 怕文法错误为何不用wherein? a fastening device, wherein the fastening device is disposed between the base and the pad, and adapted to detachably fasten the base and the pad together; 看上面好像都可以。 : 因为在claim里面的element不会出现动词 动词常以V-ing或V-ed出现 : 以上面的翻译来说，先不论英文译词是否精准或正确，上面的几种写法 : 哪个才是正确的呢?为什麽?各自有什麽不一样的解释? : (我自己在这边还有一个疑惑是，element之後加V-ing或V-ed时， : 两者之间要不要逗点?) 都有看过。 : 3.element A, ....; element A, ....; : element B, ....; element B, ...., : wherein ..... wherein .... : 左边跟右边，哪种写法才对? 简言之，wherein前是用分号还是逗号? 都可以，没有准则 : 4.(1)element A, disposed between element B and element C, the element A : generating a signal, and the element B transmitting a ....; : (2)element A, disposed between element B and element C, the element A : generating a signal, the element B transmitting a ....; : 上面两个句子差别在於最後一个子句前面是否有and，关於这两种写法，我自 : 己是觉得前者比较对。 分词构句对於连接词没有这样严格限制，两者都可以。 如果是用wherein the element A..., and the element B 就应该要用and。 : 5.(1)a plurality of LEDs for emitting ....; : (2)a plurality of LEDs emitting ...; : (3)a plurality of LEDs, emitting ...; : 上面这几种写法，哪一种才正确呢? 似乎都可以，三种都有看过，最常见的是1 : 6.一天线，用以接收一电视讯号； : 一解码器，用以解码所接收之该电视讯号； : 一微控制单元，用以处理已解码之该电视讯号； : an antenna for receiving a television signal; : a decoder for decoding the received television signal; : an MCU for processing the decoded television signal; : 上面这种译法造成同一个讯号(television signal)却以不同名称表示，可能 : 会有定义不明确或其他问题，但有更好的译法吗?譬如把the received : television signal改为the television signal which has been received? : 或是异於原中文叙述改写为the television signal received by the antenna? : 或是省略received不写? : 感谢各位看完 也希望各位能提供一点意见 非常感谢!! 我大概会改写如下： an antenna, for receiving a TV signal; a decoder, for decording the TV signal received by the antenna to generate a decoded signal; an MCU, for processing the decoded signal; 由於本人的英文也没有特别好。 如有错误请大家鞭小力一点 --
