给一国内翻译公司做的稿子, 国内价格大家也知道, 而这家公司还是国内公司中价格给的比较低的, 差不多是最低的了, 为自己也是为大家负责任起见,具体什么价格不说了,懂行的反正也能猜准。
就那么低的价格, 还说我做的达不到要求, 有点郁闷, 贴出来, 有兴趣的给说两句, 无论好坏, 都能舒服一点

In certain countries, the rate of increasing is even higher --- 14% in America, and 12% in Britain.

推敲起来确实是这么个情况。 不过当时对于这个句子我是可以翻译成好几个不同的版本的, 另外几个版本从语法上都是经得起推敲的, 但是感觉还是这个更加简洁,更加的灵活自如。 而且如果非要找主语的话也可以勉为其难的将 the attention of the entire world 解释为主语, 当然这样会在逻辑上使得原文有一种被替置的感觉, 但是全面的看也达不到影响主体的程度,那原文也不是什么技术操作类的东西, 并不是万万的动不得,于是就索性这么弄了。另外凭借语感印象, 也觉得一些英文原版的东西时而也采用这种“投桃报李”的方式说话。 总之当时做这个句子的时候就是有一点随意挥洒了。 本来还觉得这是件好事,是弥足珍贵的一种翻译状态, 呵呵,但是现在看来还真是不太容易被别人接受, 那以后还是谨慎些, 不要太大胆的好。
不过那家公司的译审倒是没拿这个当毛病, 那译审指出的是一些其他的问题。 其实也没几处, 反正最后就说我这段翻译不达标。

您试翻译其中一段给我看行吗?我好征询教授老人家意见,他点头,说水平可以才行?

最后对方还是预付了。我开始工作。结果是,我发觉我要的价格还是低的不能再低了,因为就这六百多汉字我花的时间居然不少于8个钟。这种文宣材料也不属于保密的内容,不妨贴出(大部):
广西,古称“巫蛮之地”。
Guangxi is a region anciently known as the “Land of Witchery and Barbarity”.
传说远古流着一条峥嵘神秘的大河,河水燃着火、流着泪、唱着歌……因为,地下埋着个太阳!
Legend has it that in time immemorial there was a mystic great river of not water but burning fire and tears, streaming down in singing uproar ... because underneath it was buried of a sun!
我出生广西,求学上海,命运让我回归。
I was born in Guangxi and studied in Shanghai, but seem destined to come back.
我开始绘画上的巫蛮之旅,追寻那条消失的大河。
Here I started a painting trip in the bewitching wilderness, intent on finding the vanished great river.
我并非考古,仅似沿着河床边,不断地捡回许多许多顽石子。
Hardly was I dallying in archeology, the trip was as if merely for the retrieval of some marvelous pebbles here and there along the banks of a riverbed.
不管是黑是白,或是什么颜色,只要一经打磨到极致,它们就会发出令我心颤神迷的光芒。
Black, white, or whatever color, once they are polished to perfection, they exude an enticing glow blissful to behold.
光芒仿佛是从最内核、最炫惑的角度,向我透射过来,使得崇拜欧派俄派绘画的我,又跪拜到广西这片灼热、野艳、苍雄、诡秘的十万红土山地上。
The radiance seems to come from the innermost core and from an uncanny angle. A fervent adorer of European and Russian painting, I am bewitched by and fell in love head over toe with the terrain of Guangxi, the mountainous land of mystifying and fiery wilderness, of vast and majestic beauty.
渐渐,我领悟到:“巫蛮”两字并无贬义,倒是象形地铭刻着人类原始、赤裸、永恒的人性肌理。
Gradually, I came to realize that the two words of "witchery and barbarity” contain no derogative meaning here. Rather, they are a hieroglyphic dedication engraved with the eternal fabric of original and naked human nature.
......
想来,浩茫宇宙,天道人道,颠覆融合,周而复始……古今不过一瞬!我们绘画人,手中只有画笔,唯有执着正直、善良、完美。
In my view, the ways of heaven and humanity that have so far prevailed are as lasting as but a wink in the infinite expansion of time and space; they are locked in an endless cycle of disintegration and reintegration. As painters with a brush in hand, we can only hope to dedicate ourselves to integrity, kindness, and perfection.
我继续溯源而上,越走越远,似乎听到大河狂乱的喧嚣,闻到悍烈的气息。
I trekked further up, to the point where I seemed to peep over the threshold of space and time, to hear the frenzy uproar of the legendary river and smell the fiery wildness in the air.
但我畅想着,源头一定无比的宁静、温暖、明洁,一定会有一片青草地,那是众多艺术灵魂的辉煌会所。
All the while, I imagined that at the head of the water lie the incomparable tranquility, warmth and brightness of a patch of grassland, on which is the grand edifice where many a brilliant soul of the fine arts meet.

the creativity industry has been converted from a concept to a practical existence…
直译是创意产业已从概念转为实际存在。汉语中好像没有逻辑错误,大概是因为被动式未能译出。但是英语中有明显的逻辑错误。
既然已经是产业了,那么怎么还又“被从概念转为实际存在”呢? 不过倒是可以说它“是从概念转为实际存在的”。
试译如下:
Today, the creativity industry has become a business of enormous (market) value from its initial stage of conception.
或者:
Today, the creativity industry has grown from its initial stage of conception to a business of enormous (market) value.

这种稿子也不是很容易翻的。翻译时要注意不能被中文的句式限制住,多看英文报刊,培养语感。英文写作,尤其是美式英语讲究的是简洁,中文喜欢用一些华丽的词藻,英语翻译时可根据英文写作的思维方式修改。
Your translation goes in a roundabout way, and I would not know what you wanted to say if I didn't read the Chinese text.

Yes, it's referred to as the "creative industries". There's a wikipedia entry for this term.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_industries
Creative industries typically include industries that focus on: creating and exploiting intellectual property products such as music, books, film and games; or providing business-to-business creative services including advertising, public relations and direct marketing. Aesthetic live-performance experiences are also generally included, which contributes to an overlap with definitions of art and culture, and even aspects of tourism and sport. Economic activities focussed on designing, making and selling objects or works of art such as jewellery, haute couture, books of poetry and other creative writing, and fine art are often included in the sector because the value of such objects derives from a high degree of aesthetic originality.
Creative industries exclude, and contrast with, industries that derive value by transferring ownership of pre-existing property (such as retail, financial-services and real-estate industries), by making a commoditised product or service (such as auto-manufacturing and electric-utility industries), and by maintaining or enhancing what already exists (such as the auto-repair industry).
BTW, Yueyin 和 Tingting 说得很对, 不要气馁, 多听多读对掌握习惯的英语说法很有帮助.

创意产业已经从一种理念转化成为巨大的市场经济价值,在全世界每天创造出220亿美元的价值
Creative industry has grown from a mere idea to an industry with a huge market which churns out a value of $22 billion around the world every day.
这里的理念英文里指的就是一个idea,没有必要用concept。市场经济价值我认为没有必要直译,否则一句话里会用到好几个value。你翻译当中用的value of up to,为什么要用一个up to呢?,if you charge by word, you might be able to make some extra $$$, 但是用在这儿完全是多余的 | |

是这样,他们公司给的价格是个垃圾价,国内市场上与这种价格相对应的只能是那种垃圾译文, 即--- 翻译成英文版其实就是装装样子,大致是那么回事,看上去是英文就行, 反正谁也不会去细看, 其质量要求一般来讲普通的英语系毕业生就是可以达到的。所以我就认为我应该是不费吹灰之力就可以达到他们的要求的, 所以一旦被拒, 就会感觉特别不舒服和不服气。
不服气也没办法, 也不能缠着人家非要辩论出个子午卯酉来。就像是相亲, 你认为自己在长相上是占优势的, 是比对方强出很多的, 可是对方就是愣没看上你,就说你长得难看, 那你也只能认了。 如果你就是不认, 非要纠缠上去让人家说说你到底哪里不好看, 到底哪里不比对方强的话, 那岂不是很没劲。
