第二课会议议程和会议纪要
即使你的目标是成为一个工程技术翻译,但是你在今后工作中势必要为一些会议做翻译,会议结束后一件很重要的任务就是要做双语会议纪要(minutes
of meeting 或meeting
minutes),那么英文部分可能是你责无旁贷的后续任务。另外,你可能会接到翻译公司(或直接客户)需要你翻译会议纪要的笔译任务。为此,你需要了解会议的议程,以便更好地与客户沟通,从而利于高质量地完成会议口译。同时,你也需要了解会议纪要的基本结构和结构化句式的典型翻译方法,从而使你翻译的会议纪要更加地道,意思表达更加准确,可读性更强。(注:由于工作量的原因,大部分内容没有对应译文,课堂上直接口译,这里直接录入英文,有兴趣的朋友可以尝试翻译一下)。
