2、上海SFECO擁有5個(gè)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)股東公司。上述譯文意思是5個(gè)公司持有Shanghai SFECO Group股份,換句話說,這5個(gè)公司是“老子”公司,因此顯然不符合中文原意,商務(wù)英語《商務(wù)英語文書翻譯中常見的錯(cuò)誤舉例》。
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.

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

原譯文:Welcome you to visit our fair!

We welcome you to visit our trade fair!
更簡(jiǎn)潔而地道譯法是:Welcome to our trade fair!
6、我公司出口工業(yè)產(chǎn)品、化工產(chǎn)品、醫(yī)藥等。
