cred2ited by a seller as a refund or reimbursement due toany one of a number of causes including: faulty packa2ging, shipment of goods which do not meet buyer’sspecifications, a late shipment etc.从它的释义来看, 该词应为:“赔款”,“补偿费”,而不是“折扣”。兹古斯塔(1983, P38)曾经告诫说,词典编纂者一项最重要的任务就是要帮助并且促使(即便是间接地帮助和促使)概念和术语明确起来。译介一本专业辞典,译者应承担的主要任务就是让两种语言所要表达的意义对应起来,尤其是术语要专业化,尽管语言不同,但译语读者与原语读者应有相同的感受。再则,如果译者的专业术语表达不确切,不到位,你吃力翻译并出版了,但效果适得其反,恐怕比不译还要糟糕。再如:● genera l cargo vessel: A vessel designed tohandle break bulk cargo such as bags, cartons, cases,crates and drums, either individually or in unitized orpalletized loads. 原译:普通货船:一种设计用来或单独或联合或平行地装载诸如包裹、纸板箱、箱子、板条箱和圆桶等散装货物的货船。( P316)显然,译者对此项外贸运输业务毫不知晓,也没有读懂原文的语用信息。1) general cargo vessel在外贸运输的语境中应理解并翻译为“杂货船”; 2)原文列举的“袋子”bags,“纸箱”cartons,“箱子”ca2ses,“板/ 柳条箱”crates,“桶”drum等都是“杂货”( break - bulk) 的包装物; 3) 这些包装货可“单独”individually装载,也可“成组”unitized 装载,或者“货盘(化) ”palletized装载。
