最近在翻译一个和脚踏车有关的文件 里面有几个常出现的字 不知道该怎麽翻比较好 譬如infrastructure这个字 我之前翻"基础设施" 编辑告诉我 这样翻太过生硬 叫我重想 改过之後再给她 她说 这个文件要翻得越通俗流畅越好 学究气不要那麽重 我後来想了很多替代方案 基础建设 基本设施 硬体设施 硬体环境.... 但好像还是读起来很生硬 囧rz 把译文中的一小段贴上来: This manual describes the steps required to create a bicycle-friendly infrastructure. Chapter 1 contains a brief description of the role of the bicycle, the importance of integral thinking and the process surrounding cycling policy. Actual design backgrounds are discussed in chapter 2, which looks at bicycle/cyclist system, the characteristics of cyclists and the resulting design requirements. The chapter concludes with the five widely known main requirements for a bicycle-friendly infrastructure, which can briefly be expressed as cohesion, directness, safety, comfort, and attractiveness. These aspects still forms the main theme in this revised design manual. 文句不难理解 一直出现的就是bicycle-friendly infrastructure 我目前重译是改成 打造一个"对自行车友善的硬体环境" (听起来依旧生硬..) 文件里面的infrastructure 感觉起来包含了单车道 路标 绿地 号志 接驳 停车位 等等.... 这些东西都需要好好设计规划 才能让单车骑士感觉到舒适又亲切 (类似这种意思) 因为文中还有另一个字是facilities 也有设备 设施的涵义 (如 parking facilities) 如果也把infrastructure 译成设施 是不是会和facilities搞混? 有更贴切的译法吗? 另一个有疑义的字是cohesion 这个字也是很难翻....(上面那段文章有出现) 凝聚力? 向心力? 团结? 内聚感? 由内而发的吸引力? 紧密感? 连贯性? 附上另一小段有cohesion的内文: A second development was the construction of cycle tracks for recreational use from the fifties onwards. These were separate cycle tracks in attractive recreational areas, which were built with the aid of specific grants. Cohesion with the 'utilitarian' cycle tracks was not a goal in itself and was even excluded from the grant system. 这段应该是讲 拿补助款在休闲景点盖单车道的事 这边的cohesion 不知怎麽翻比较好 还请高手们指点 感激不尽~ --
