在一些由中文翻譯的英語樣本、合同、廣告和其他文件材料中常見一些翻譯錯誤，現(xiàn)僅舉幾個出現(xiàn)頻率較高的例子，試作分析，謹供讀者朋友參考。

1. 由港澳國際投資公司投資的海口電站工程因其建設(shè)速度和質(zhì)量得到高度評價。

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：投資某項工程應(yīng)為invest in a project，在被動語態(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個公司持有Shanghai SFECO Group的股份，換句話說，這5個公司是“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. 中國民生銀行有限公司

原譯文：China Minsheng Banking Corporation, Ltd.

注：corporation本身即為有限公司，相當(dāng)于limited company，英譯中無需再加“Ltd”。應(yīng)譯為：

China Minsheng Banking Corporation

4. 項目中標之后，我們將立即開始前期準備工作。

原譯文：After the bid is awarded, we shall immediately start our advance-phase preparation.

注：項目中標應(yīng)為accept a bid or award the contract。顯然上述譯文把兩種表達法相混淆了。應(yīng)譯為：

After the bid is accepted (or the contract is awarded), we shall immediately start our advance-phase preparation.
