问题     10月23日,三星电子公司(Samsung Electronics)发表声明向中国消费者道歉,并作出对七款机型提供免费维修服务并延长保修期的承诺。三星希望通过道歉维持其在中国智能手机(smart phone)市场的主导地位。去年三星在中国销售了3000万台设备,市场占有率达到17.7%。三星并不是第一个作出道歉并承诺改善服务的公司。之前苹果公司(Apple)也做过同样事情并藉此开发了一大批新的消费者。

选项

答案     Samsung Electronics issued an apology to Chinese consumers on 23rd October, offering to provide free repairs and extended maintenances on seven models. With the apology, Samsung hopes to maintain its leading position in China’s smart phone market. The company sold 30 million devices in China for a 17.7 percent market share last year. Samsung is not the first company that issued an apology and promised to improve services. Apple did the same thing before and thus opened up a vast number of new customers.

解析 1.第1句中的“发表声明道歉”译作issue an apology言简意赅,不必直译为issue a statement toapologize。“并作出……的承诺”可用表伴随的分词短语offering to do sth.来表达。“延长保修期”可转化为名词短语,与“免费维修服务”一起作“提供”(provide)的宾语,状语“对七款机型”(on seven models)置于句末,结构清晰顺畅。
2.第2句中的状语“通过道歉”在翻译时将其置句首,用介词短语with the apology来表达,这样处理能使上下文衔接较自然。
3.第3句中的“市场占有率达到17.7%”可以直译为and the market share came to 17.7 percent,但不如用介词短语for a 17.7 percent market share来得简单地道。
4.第4句中的定语“作出道歉并承诺改善服务的”较长,故将其处理成定语从句,译为that issued an apologyand promised to improve services。
