考研英語翻譯講詞析句(43)
Or they could read Mr. Kirbys report: the substantial buying power of such an agency would strengthen the public prescription drug insurance plans to negotiate the lowest possible purchase prices from drug companies.
【析句】引號(hào)之內(nèi)的成分可以視作為Mr. Kirbys report 的同位語。引號(hào)中的成分是一個(gè)單句,to negotiate the lowest possible
purchase prices from drug companies 是其目的狀語。由于引號(hào)中的主語(the substantial buying power of such an agency)太
長,因此在譯成漢語時(shí)應(yīng)該考慮譯成一個(gè)分句。
【講詞】buying power 又叫purchasing power(購買力)。注意negotiate 的用法,to negotiate sth with sb。
答案:
或許他們可以讀一讀科爾比先生的報(bào)告:由于這樣一個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)擁有實(shí)實(shí)在在的購買力,因而公共處方藥保險(xiǎn)計(jì)劃就會(huì)得到加強(qiáng),從而與制藥公司展開談判,以盡可能低的價(jià)格采購藥品。
