why.他的话一语破的，让我们来看看其中的原委。这句话看似简单，却不好翻译。前文提到他的朋友说：“未来属于物流。这句话肯定了他朋友的话，假设将其译成“他的话是对的，显得太直白了，不如用一成语把它译成“他的话一语破的，肯定该朋友讲话的正确和恰当。后半句意思是通过后面的学习，我们将会了解说该朋友讲话正确的原因。假设译成“我们将明白为什么，就没有译出原义。倒不如增加一点“劝诱的语气成分“让我们来。,Passage One,Notes,2.What is logistics?The answer to this is on your feet!Look at the shoes you are wearing;they may look simple,but it took a complex process to get them from raw materials to products you can wear.The functions in this process are what make up logistics.什么是物流？答案就在您的脚上！看看您穿着的鞋。它们也许看起来简单，但从原材料到您能穿的产品要经过一个复杂的过程。这个过程中的功能要素就构成了物流。这段文字虽含有几个句子，但结构总的来说并不复杂，可以按其顺序来翻译。假设将“What is logistics?The answer to this is on your feet!译成“什么是物流？这个问题的答案就在您的脚上！。看似忠实于原文，实际上并不简洁，故省略了一问一答中的重复局部，译为“什么是物流？答案就在您的脚上！。文中的“get不是“得到的意思，而是“使变得的意思，这一意思隐含在“from raw materials to products you can wear中，假设把“get them 译成“要得到它们，显得累赘，故在翻译中可省去不译。在“The functions in this process are what make up logistics中，“what make up logistics是表语从句，英语中的主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句等名词性从句翻译时可按原文的句序译成对应的汉语。请看下例：Raw material is what we are badly in need of.我们急需的是原料。故这句话可以译为：“这个过程中的功能要素就构成了物流。,Passage One,Notes,3.The pieces are manufactured into final products in Taiwan,and trucked to a port where they are shipped via ocean container to,say,Vancouver.这些组件在台湾加工成最终的产品，并用卡车运到一个港口，在那里通过远洋集装箱船运到比方说温哥华。译文根据上文将“The pieces具体引申为“这些组件，指的是“鞋帮、“鞋底、“鞋舌等。文中的“truck是动词，意为“运送，以卡车运输，与常用的意思不同。“ocean container的意思是“远洋运输用的集装箱。“via是介词，意为“经，通过，经由，是商务英语中的常用词。如：They sent the letter via airmail.他们通过空邮寄信。,Passage One,Notes,4.Logistics functions used to be considered unavoidable costs to a company,but today they are recognized as crucial to a companys competitiveness and profitability.It encompasses so many jobs that people with talents in one area can specialize.物流的职能过去常被认为是公司不可防止要付出的本钱，但是现在这些职能被认为是对公司竞争力和盈利性至关重要的因素。它包括如此多的工作岗位，以至于在某一个领域具有才能和兴趣的人都能成为行家。原文中的两个被动句“used to be considered和“are recognized as均译成了汉语的被动句。英语中的某些着重被动动作的被动句，译成汉语的被动句，以突出其被动意义。由于汉语的动词无词形变化，只能用添加词的方法来表达被动，最为常见的是在谓语前加上助词“被。现代汉语受外来语的影响，被动句的应用范围明显扩大了。例如：Vitamin C is destroyed when it is over heated.维生素受热过度就会被破坏。文中的“competitiveness和“profitability分别是“competitive和“profitable的派生词，故译为“竞争力和“盈利性。“specialize的意思为“专攻，专门研究。译文把“people.can specialize转译为“的人都能成为行家。,Passage One,Notes,5.The beauty of logistics is that it is a huge field,encompassing many jobs and personality types.物流的美妙之处在于它是一个巨大的领域，包括很多工作岗位，适合多种性格类型的人。译文在“beauty的原意“美，美景，美好的东西的根底上作了适当的引申，译为“美妙之处。再看一例：The beauty of the venture is that we stand to lose nothing.此次冒险的美妙之处在于我们不会失去任何东西。译文把分词短语译成一个分句，而且对“encompass作了适当的搭配引申。关于分译法的具体说明请看本单元的翻译讲座局部。,Passage One,New Words and Expressions:,1.,synthetics n.,人工合成材料,Much coal also is used in chemical industries for the manufacture of plastics and other synthetics.,化学工业生产数百种塑料和其它合成制品也用煤很多。,2.,truck vt.,把,装上卡车；用卡车运送,Boxes arrive in Miami from Colombia,Ecuador and Peru,as well Holland,and
