1.“中文搜索引擎”可以直接譯成Chinese search engine,也可以將其理解為“用中文作為搜索語(yǔ)言的引擎”,譯作search engine using Chinese language。
2.第二句中的“致力于”可使用be devoted to結(jié)構(gòu),類(lèi)似表達(dá)還有be committed to,be dedicated to,work on和 aim to。
3.“中國(guó)高科技企業(yè)”的定語(yǔ)“掌握最尖端的核心技術(shù)的”較長(zhǎng),所以用that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句表達(dá):that master the most sophisticated core technology。
4.在“百度提供的所有產(chǎn)品操作簡(jiǎn)單”中,將“操作簡(jiǎn)單”用過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)easily operated表達(dá),放在句首,可以起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。最后兩句之間隱含了因果關(guān)系,可以合譯成一個(gè)長(zhǎng)句,用so連接,使邏輯更清晰。
