terms of the following two aspects:,1.Translators should be critical when understanding the source text and drafting the translation version.They should question and test the materials they find and make their own judgment.,2.Translators can adopt different translation strategies for the purpose of best achieving the goal of translation,Compared with literary translation,pragmatic translation is more rigid,always conforming to certain norms.But this does not mean that translators can work like a machine.,Machine Translation can never be successful because it can never analyze the social,political,economic and cultural information behind words.,手提包要经过X射线机器的检查或者人工检查。,Handbags must be checked by the X-ray machine or the security staff.,Handbags must be put through the X-ray

meetings”,问：十六大报告在提出党内民主是党的生命的同时，还强调要按照集体领导、民主集中、个别酝酿、会议决定的原则，完善党委内部议事和决策机制。怎样理解“个别酝酿”？在一些地方尤其是基层单位，因为理解有出入，往往被少数领导搞成了私下授意，在实际工作中，到底如何进行个别酝酿？,答：要弄清楚这个问题，首先要明确在党委议事的时候，哪些问题需要个别酝酿。我认为，简单的问题、在个人职权范围内能够决定的事情，不需要进行个别酝酿。在党委议事时，需要个别酝酿的主要有三个方面的问题：一是可能会产生意见分歧的重大问题。二是比较复杂的问题。三是敏感的问题。,个别酝酿是就某些问题进行个别商谈，以求得交流思想，统一认识。酝酿不仅仅限于正副书记之间、书记与委员之间，还可以扩展到更大范围。特别是党委在决定复杂问题时，力求得出正确的认识，得出更为符合客观实际的结论，应该注重酝酿对象的广泛性，有些问题还要与下级党组织，与有关专家学者、有关职能部门进行个别酝酿。为了达到统一认识的目的，更要注重与持有不同看法、有分歧意见的同志进行酝酿，通过酝酿达成共识。,现代汉语规范词典,酝酿：,指酿酒的发酵过程，比喻事先考虑、磋商，如经过反复酝酿协商，提出候选人名单等。,consultation:,If a person or group consults with other people or consults them,they talk and exchange ideas and opinions about what they might decide to do,private consultation,(individual consultation),明代哲学家王阳明早年被贬到贵州龙场做地方官时，捕获了当地一个强盗头目。该头目在受审时说：“我犯的是死罪，要杀要剐，任你怎么处置，只请你不要和我谈道德良知。像我这种人是从来不谈这个的，甚至连想都没有想过。”王阳明说：“好的。今天我不和你谈道德良知。不过，天气这么热，你看在审案前我们还是把外衣脱了吧。”强盗头目说：“好！”脱去外衣后，王阳明又说：“还是热，再把内衣也脱了吧。”强盗头目当然不会在乎赤膊，于是就脱去内衣。庭上庭下两人身上只剩下了一件裤头。而此时王阳明更进一步，说道：“干脆我们把裤头也脱了吧，全身赤裸更自在”一听说连裤头也要脱，强盗头目赶紧说：“这可使不得！这可使不得！”面对此情此景，王阳明当即来了一番水到渠成的因势利导：“为什么使不得？这是因为在你心中还剩有那么一点羞耻感。可见就是像你这样十恶不赦的家伙，我照样可以和你谈道德良知”强盗头目心服口服，随即将自己的种种罪行一一如实供出。,The ancient philosopher Wang Yangming offended some powerful officials of the imperial court and was demoted to the position of a local official in the remote province of Guizhou.During his term,he arrested the head of a burglary gang.In the trial,the suspect said,“I have committed a death penalty crime.You can kill me or torture me all you want,but spare me the moral talk.A guy like me never talks morals,I dont even think about them.,Wang replied,“OK.I wont talk morals with you today,but since its hot,maybe youd like to take off your coat before the trial.”,“OK,”said the suspect,and took his coat off.,“Its still too hot,perhaps you should take off your shirt,too,”said Wang.The gangster naturally didnt mind being bare-chested,so he took off his coat as well.,Wang then said,“What about the pants?Youll be more comfortable naked,wont you?”,“No way!No way!”protested the suspect.,At this point,Wang cut to his point and said,“The reason why you wouldnt take off your pants is that you still know shame.This means that I can discuss morals even with a notorious and ruthless man like you.”The suspect was so impressed by Wangs argument that he confessed all his crimes.,For
