※ 引述《think12381 ()》之铭言： : 求中译 : As critics continue to fault Mr. Obama less for his administration’s overall : response to the spill than for what they say has been his own slow and : reactive leadership style, : # 我的试译： : 批评家持续指责欧巴马政府团队对漏油事件的反应 较少去指责批评者所说的 : 他们慢半拍的领导风格 : # 提问: : 我翻译的语顺不知道对不对 : 我是这样看的 : As critics continue to fault Mr. Obama .........................1 : for his administration’s overall response to the spill ........2 : less............................................................3 : than for what they say has been his.............................4 : 这里的they 是指 批评家 OR 官员 批评家 : 这里的 his 又是什麽 : own slow and reactive leadership style,.........................5 : 这里为什麽跑出一个 own出来 his own=obama的 这段建议你这样顺 As critics continue to fault Mr. Obama less for his administration’s overall response to the spill than for what they say has been his own slow and reactive leadership style, fault for 应该是个惯用语，从哪去批评、挑毛病 这段大约在说 批评者认为 相对於整体政府的回应 比较该打屁股的反而是欧巴马慢吞吞的领导风格 : Sunday’s developments came after the administration gave BP engineers until : the end of the weekend to speed up containment of oil that has been spilling : into the gulf since the April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon : drilling rig that killed 11 men. : # 我的试译： : 在星期天的发展 接着而来的监督 给予 BP 工程师 一直到 这周末的结束 : 去加速 漏油的污染 这个污染已经进入 湾区 从 4.20 Deepwater Horizon : 油井爆发已经杀掉了 11 人 : # 题问: : Sunday’s developments came after the administration gave BP engineers until : the end of the weekend to speed up : 为什麽 gave BP engineers to speed up 给予 BP 工程师 加速 污染 ?? 有些词的理解有问题唷! administration是政府,containment是围堵、封锁(原po可能读成contaminant) Sunday’s developments came after the administration gave BP engineers until the end of the weekend to speed up containment of oil that has been spilling into the gulf since the April 20 exlosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that kille 11 men. 油都已经溢入湾区了 但慢吞吞的政府当局 直到周末结束才派工程师协助BP控制漏油 而这波漏油事件可回溯自4.20号那起11人丧生的油井爆炸 : The actions reflect the administration’s efforts, nearly two months into the : crisis, to telegraph a take-charge decisiveness when Mr. Obama and the : federal government are all but powerless to actually resolve the calamity, : given the sheer technological challenge of plugging a leak a mile below the : gulf’s surface. Mr. Obama’s actions this week, together with events in : Congress, put BP on the defensive more than at any other time since the : explosion. : # 我的试译： : 在这两个月的危机中, 这次行动反映了管理团队的努力去通报掌控一些决策 : 欧巴马和联邦政府 无能为力解决这次的灾难 这个灾难也是个一个科技挑战在 : 海湾中防止漏油 欧巴马这周的行动 随着这次的事件在国会中 把 BP 在任何时刻都 : 处在防御状态 : # 题问: : federal government are all 这个 ALL 是什麽意思 are "all but" powerless all but是个片语，几乎的意思 : BP on the defensive more than at any other time 这句话看不太懂 先讲後面这句 Mr. Obama’s actions this week, together with events in Congress, put BP on the defensive more than at any other time since the explosion. put ... on the defensive要连在一起看 意思是，使OO被迫采取防守状态 反过来说就是另外一方正在展开进攻嘛 回到这句就是说 这个礼拜欧巴马采取了比较积极的行动 而且是爆炸发生以来从所未见的积极，这才逼得BP要开始防守 再回到前面那段 呵 有点难翻，小的就不限丑了 劳烦其他板友补充 : 我英文不好 请各位多多指教 : 谢谢~ --
