推动有效市场和有为政府更好结合,善于运用改革创新办法,激发市场活力和社会创造力。要坚持以入民为中心的发展思想,依靠共同奋斗,扎实推进共同富裕,不断实现人民对美好生活的向往。
We should promote both an efficient market and a well-functioning government, and we should be adept at using reform and innovation to boost market dynamism and social creativity. We must act on the people-centered development philosophy and rely on the efforts of everyone to promote prosperity for all, so as to keep realizing the people' s aspirations for a better life.
——新华网政府工作报告
1. Promote 的陷阱|| 原译文 promote a market and a government 略显生硬。promote + 抽象事物 通常意为“促进/宣扬”。这里可以改为 promote the role of...(发挥...的作用)。
2. 动词的“虚与实”——“善于”|| “善于运用改革创新办法,激发市场活力和社会创造力。”前者是做法,后者是目标。此处的“善于”是一种态度而非单纯的技能,原译 be adept at 偏向技能。建议转译为采取某种途径:take reform and innovative approaches。
3. “社会”的陷阱|| “社会创造力”如果直译为 social creativity 指代不明。在中文政经语境里,“社会”经常是与“政府”相对的概念(即公众或民间)。这里“社会创造力”是public creativity。再如:
① “社会基础” public support(公众支持)
② “调动社会力量” use non-government efforts / the private sector to do...
③ “社会投资” non-government / private investment
4. 动词的“虚与实”——“坚持”|| “坚持以入民为中心的发展思想”,“坚持”能删则删,取具体舍宏观,pursue people-centered development或act on the people-centered development philosophy。
5. 中文原句“依靠共同奋斗,扎实推进共同富裕,不断实现...”是典型的流水句(意合)。在英文中(形合),需要梳理出“方式-动作-目的”的逻辑层级。“依靠共同奋斗”是方式,不宜做成独立句子;“扎实推进共同富裕”是具体做法;“不断实现”是目的。可以处理为:By relying on the concerted efforts of everyone, we will make solid progress in promoting common prosperity, so as to meet...
6. 动词的“虚与实”——“实现”|| “不断实现人民对美好生活的向往”是目标,“实现……向往”也就是满足向往,不建议生硬地处理为realize,直接使用meet即可:meet (the不加即可)people' s aspirations for a better life。
