中譯英？中譯英？中譯英？中譯英？中譯英？

見到樓上o既翻譯，我好詫異。咁樣o既答案，居然擅長領域係英文？我想反問：準則何來？
１．香港ｄ副局長，英文叫 undersecretary。平時唔睇英文報紙，上網都搵得到。
２．原文「．．．是怎樣」（how），實情係「是甚麼」（what）。係咪應該改一改而唔係直譯？
我o既譯本：
What are the criteria in appointing the undersecretaries and political assistants?
What are the criteria for a statesman?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
順手睇下樓上兩句：
The government is inviting the quasi- rules of political assistant and vice- bureau chief is how?
．quasi 係得個樣咁解。quasi-rules？即係有名無實o既規則？
．invite 係邀請！政府聘任官員，唔止係 employ，直情係委任（appoint）！
．基本句式都錯！以呢種寫，「你點做呢樣野」會變成 You do it how?
What is politician's standard?
．呢句譯返中文，係：「政客的標準是甚麼？」完全唔中。
How is the government inviting the political assistant and assistant commissioner's accurate gauge is?
．gauge 係量度事物o既準則，可以用於講評估一個人o既能力；但 accurate gauge 就似用軟件譯出o既咁，完全唔通。其他同上面一樣錯法，不贅。
What is the statesman criterion?
．criterion 係準則，用o岩字，我都用呢個；但呢個係單數型態，講一個政治家（statesman，亦用o岩字），係唔係得一項準則？應該用複數型：criteria。
．呢句係生硬之極o既逐字對譯，英文唔會咁講。

karenlam1996 來信詢問，"What is the statesman criterion?" 有何問題，並謂「你究竟知唔知criterion解咩？呢個詞語都係解『準則』！咁樣寫都岩架！只不過唔係寫到好似你咁長！」特此解答。

What is the statesman criterion 逐字譯出，為「甚麼是政治家準則」。我係咪應該倒轉次序，講「甚麼是政治家準則」逐字譯出，為 What is the statesman criterion？

先唔講英文，「甚麼是政治家準則」亦是生硬o既中文。有「政治家準則」呢個詞咩？點斷句去解釋好ｄ？係「評定政治家o既準則」，還是「政治家定出o黎o既準則」？而實情應該解前者，「評定政治家o既準則」。

文字要力求意思清楚，「評定政治家o既準則」，肯定比「政治家準則」清楚，我諗你都冇異議。你再睇一次，statesman criterion 同 the criteria for a statesman 之間，邊個意思清楚？

我唔係要寫多你三個簡單字去贏你，而係要將意思表達得準確。你用兩個字去講，我會話「睇得明」，留意，我冇話你錯，只係評為「呢句係生硬之極o既逐字對譯，英文唔會咁講」。

點解又唔講下第一句？

政府在請政治助理和副局長的準規是怎樣？
How is the government inviting the political assistant and assistant commissioner's accurate gauge is?


政治家準則是甚麼？
What is the statesman criterion?

但係你又話我答錯左:

你究竟知唔知criterion解咩？呢個詞語都係解「準則」！咁樣寫都岩架！只不過唔係寫到好似你咁長！仲話擅長於英文？我呸呸呸！
