沒野做, 冇辦法跟進?

KATE說由於技術問題, 她現階段對這個項目束手無策.

(1) Kate said she no [further] action could be taken for [the] project due to [the X] technical problem.

(note: time/place references change in indirect speech; this-->the)

(2) Kate said there [was] no follow up action for [the] project because of technical problem.

(note: beware of the tense of the indirect speech within the that-clause)

(3) Due to the technical problem, Kate said no action could be done for the project.

(grammar correct, but the meaning a bit different from 1. & 2.; "due to ..." was not part of Kate's speech)

(4) Kate said she [was] unable to do anything for [the] project due to [the X] technical problem.

More examples:
(5) Kate said she was incapable/unable/impotent to proceed with the project (at that stage) due to technical problem.

這話是某立法會議員說的？ 高鐵項目？ 西九龍計劃？

No.1 & 3 are acceptable and people understand what you say. but the following is better and straight forward.



KATE said she is unable to do anything for this project now due to the technical problem.

re 火柴人

如果俾你會點譯法?

唔係,呢句係小弟作出黎既.

因為我見樓上 火柴人話我既wording 太過直譯,

所以我想了解返正式英文書語既寫法only....

感覺上, 太過中文直譯...

如果換著係我個行業, 好少人會咁寫英文.
