因?yàn)榻ㄗh和報(bào)告種類繁多，涉及很多方面，所以很難具體介紹每一種文本的翻譯方法。但是，有必要掌握相關(guān)翻譯的主要方法技巧和一些翻譯的譯例。請(qǐng)記住以下四點(diǎn)。

1. 要搞清楚所翻譯文本的寫作目的，是建議還是請(qǐng)求，或者是針對(duì)某一問題提出的解決方案。

2. 要詳細(xì)了解文本中所涉及的內(nèi)容、專業(yè)術(shù)語、特殊意義、措施和方法等。

3. 要搞清楚作者和讀者之間的關(guān)系，這有助于保證忠實(shí)地再現(xiàn)原文。

4. 要搞清楚原文的語氣和態(tài)度:正式、半正式還是非正式，然后真實(shí)地在中文文本中再現(xiàn)。

下面是學(xué)生向?qū)熖峤坏难芯繄?bào)告的一部分以及相應(yīng)的中文文本。

Dear Professor Joe,

For my formal research report assignment, I propose to research the problem of computer security and produce a formal report that would be of value to office managers who have an interest in maintaining the confidentiality of electronically stored records.

Since I am completing the requirement for a major in computer science and am contemplating graduate work in Business Administration, I have a strong academic interest in knowing just how secure computerized information is and how secure it can be. I also have an occupational interest in the subject because computer security has become a much-discussed subject in the office where I hold a part-time job as a Data Processor....

Rather than spend a great deal of time trying to show the seriousness of the problem of insufficient security, I only want to assure a reader who already is of the opinion that lack of adequate security can be financially dangerous. Thus I would like to devote only the introduction of the report to showing how serious the problem is. The main body of the report would be divided into just two sections: one for the controls that are already widely practiced and one for those that are too new, too expensive, or too complicated to have become widely adopted. In the first section, I will investigate the reason why the established methods aren't as successful as they should be. In the second, I will evaluate the relative merits of the more exotic controls.

This is my present plan of organization......

親愛的喬教授：

關(guān)于我的正式研究報(bào)告，我想研究計(jì)算機(jī)的安全性問題，并提交一份對(duì)行政管理人員有價(jià)值的正式報(bào)告。這些人員對(duì)維護(hù)電子存儲(chǔ)記錄的機(jī)密問題頗感興趣。

我目前正在攻讀計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)專業(yè)的必修課，并考慮做商務(wù)管理研究生，因此對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)目前處理信息的安全性以及可能會(huì)達(dá)到什么樣的安全程度產(chǎn)生了濃厚的專業(yè)興趣。我也對(duì)這一課題產(chǎn)生了職業(yè)興趣，因?yàn)樵谖掖蚬さ倪@家公司里(我擔(dān)任公司的數(shù)據(jù)處理員)，計(jì)算機(jī)的安全性已成為大家討論最多的一個(gè)熱門話題......

我不打算花大量的時(shí)間來說明計(jì)算機(jī)欠安全這一問題的嚴(yán)重性。我只想讓已有這種看法的讀者確信：缺乏足夠的安全防范，可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)危險(xiǎn)。因此，我打算僅用報(bào)告的引言部分來說明該問題的嚴(yán)重性。報(bào)告的正文只分為兩部分：一部分討論已經(jīng)廣泛用于實(shí)踐的操作控制，另一部分探討不宜廣泛采用的太新、太昂貴或者太復(fù)雜的一些操作控制。在報(bào)告的第一部分，我將調(diào)查公認(rèn)的方法不像我們所期待的那樣成功的原因。在報(bào)告的第二部分，我將評(píng)估一些更新奇的操作控制的相對(duì)優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

以下是我目前的結(jié)構(gòu)計(jì)劃：
