24April中译英

2017年8月以来，潜逃美国的国际刑警组织红色通报在逃人员郭文贵为寻求政治庇护，编造大量虚假信息，进行所谓网上“爆料”，授意并指使犯罪嫌疑人陈志煜、陈志恒伪造30余份国家机关公文，作为其“爆料”的主要内容，在境外公开散布传播，误导公众，造成恶劣影响。——郭文贵等人伪造国家机关公文案被侦破，人民日报，2018年4月23日

参考译文：Since August 2017, Guo Wengui, a fugitive in the United States seeking political asylum and listed in the Interpol Red Notice, has fabricated a large amount of information and leaked false "facts" on the Internet. He incited and intimidated suspects Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng into forging over 30 national-level official documents as evidence of a "revelation" online. By spreading the documents on overseas media platforms, he deliberately damaged China's image, misleading the public and causing extremely negative effects. ——China Daily, April 24, 2018.

解析：这一句中文的在翻译成英文时，拆分成了三句，算是用到了很典型的折分法。需要注意的是，三个英语的主语皆是Guo Wengui，并用了he来指代。而在英文新闻里，其实可以用一些背景信息的方式来指代。一则这可以让he不频繁出现，同时还让行文更为简洁。如第一句里，Guo Wengui后只接a fugitive in the United States seeking political asylum，而将listed in the Interpol Read Notice放在第二句的he后面，作补语，即He, also listed in the Interpol Red Notice. 第三句中里he则可以用Guo 来表示。不过，有几个难译的词语需要注意。1）在逃人员：fugitive， 2）国际刑警组织红色通报：listed in the Interpol Red Notice英文包括了非常丰富的信息。3）授意并指使：incited and intimated 4) 公开散布传播: spreading ...on media platforms 5) 造成恶劣影响: ausing extremely negative effect.
