854天與時並進：ALL CHANGE 標題怎譯？及聞中問字解？

1) restructuring (of) the government?

將一個句子的某部分獨立抽離來看, 有時反做成混淆.
將文法規則強記或過份簡單化, 也會引起學習困難.

不如看看以下例子是否對你有幫助?

A: So expensive....
B: What's so expensive?
A: Changing a new car is expensive.
B: Yes, but you really need to change a new car.
A: No, too expensive.
B: Well, I guess the first thing you need is a change of heart.

A: So important ...
B: What's so important?
A: Restructuring the government is important.
B: The Chief Executive needs to restructure the government to a great extent.
A: What do you mean?
B: I mean, a major restructuring of the governement is important.

2) heritage conservation?

heritage 直譯可作遺產的意思.
此處應是指文化保育工作, 例如大澳, 如何發展此地的旅遊業之餘, 可兼顧保存它的文化傳統特色呢?

3) commitment to?

你是否覺得名詞之後要用 of 來配合才對?
看看以下例子:

A: Where did you put down the answer?
B: The answer of mine is there.
A: Ok, got it, but the answer (your answer) to the question is wrong.

A: Did he make any commitment?
B: Whose commitment?
A: The commitment of Donald Tsang.
B: What is his commitment about?
A: I'm talking about his commitment to universal suffrage.

直譯是: 曾司長為自己對於全民普選的承諾作出辯護.
