当前报刊上经常出现一些新的科技术语,很难令人一看就懂其意。如搜索引擎,依照汉语环境的解释,应是寻找发动机之意。其实不然,它是源自Search engine拼译而成的。查一下辞典,Search是搜索,engine是引擎,就简单地一拼,托出了搜索引擎。又如工作站也一样,将原文的work station,查一下辞典,work是工作,station是站,拼合而译为工作站。这种翻译取名的做法符合初学英语的人所为,但很难使一般读者和局外人见其词懂其意。 There are often some new scientific and technological terminology in the press. It is difficult to understand the meaning of it. Such as search engines, according to the interpretation of the Chinese environment, should be looking for the meaning of the engine. In actual fact, it is derived from the Search engine. Check the dictionary, search is search, engine is the engine, simply fight, put up the search engine. Another example is the workstation, the original work station, check the dictionary, work is a work, station is a station, put together and translated into a workstation. This method of name translation is suitable for beginners, but it is difficult for ordinary readers and outsiders to understand their meaning.
