二. 神句翻译

1.It is tempting to believe that the security problem can be solved with yet more technical wizardry and a call for heightened vigilance.

人们很容易相信,安全问题可以通过更多的技术成果和呼吁加强警告的方式来解决。

笃师:通过利用更多尖端技术并提高警觉能解决安全问题——这一想法十分诱人。

注:分割长句,保留原意的同时,令译文读起来更加顺畅。

问题:被动句变主动句去翻译

2. That requires a kind of cultivated paranoia which does not come naturally to non-tech firms.

那需要一种培养出来的偏执,而这一特性并不存在于非科技公司。

笃师:这就需要一种刻意培养的偏执,但非技术型的公司并不会自然而然的具备这一特质。

Cultivated paranoia字面意思指培养偏执,Cultivate培养,指有意识的形成某一特点,paranoia偏执,联系后面一句,提到所有的公司都应该积极主动检查漏洞,在问题发生之前及时修补,就好似平时我们说的偏执强迫症,可能明明门窗都关好了,但是出门前还得再三检查一下,由于出错的代价巨大,对于IT方面的漏洞就应该重视到近乎偏执,但是非技术公司一般都没有这样的传统习惯。

3.Such weaknesses are compounded by the history of the internet, in which security was an afterthought.

这些弱点自网络诞生之日起逐步恶化,因为安全问题总是被放在次要的位置上。

笃师:互联网的历史使得这一弱点雪上加霜,一直以来,人们都是事后才会考虑安全性的问题。

问题:被动变主动去翻译

4. Computer security is best served by encryption that is strong for everyone.

对每个人都很严密的加密术能够最好的为电脑安全问题服务。

笃师:为所有人提供强化加密是最有利于计算机安全的.

Be best served by 是一个非常常见的词组,表示最有利的是….Eg. Rather than support America, European “allies” increasingly see the irnational interests best served by distancing themselves from the US as much as possible./  This suggests that small, open economies may be best served by fixed exchange rates.

5.A firm that takes reasonable steps to make things safe, but which is compromised nevertheless, will have recourse to an insurance payout that will stop it from going bankrupt.

一个公司,如果采取了合理的措施来规避风险,但是不可避免地遭受了损失,将可以通过买保险来免遭破产之灾。

笃师:采取合理措施加强安全但仍然受到侵害的公司,可以向保险公司索赔以避免破产。

问题:that从句后面的内容可以当成定语来翻译。

an insurance payout 保险赔偿金

6. But setting minimum standards still gets you only so far.

但是设定最低标准的效果并不理想。

笃师:但是制定最低标准的作用也很局限。

Get you far:表示作用巨大,而 get you only so far 则表示作用有限

Eg. But hard work will only get you so far, the rest is genetic, according to an expert.

Clear and powerful writing is a rare skill in business, and it will get you far.

虽然正反都可以用,但还是否定出现的频率更高.建议自己再多扩展几个句子。

7.Silicon valley’s fruitful  “go fast and break things” style of innovation is possible only if firms have relative free rein to put out new products while they still need perfecting.

硅谷“快速、打破陈规”的创新风格是可性的,只要公司有相对自由的控制权来创造出新产品,尽管这些产品还有待完善。

笃师:硅谷“快速行动勇于突破”的创新理念行得通的前提在于:公司有相对自由的权利推出尚未完善的产品。

Put out=launch也是高频词。发布新产品:launch/put out a new product

神词组

Take security serious enough 足够重视安全问题

take sth seriously, pay attention to, attach importance to都是“重视”的意思。大家可以继续举一反三,因为重视二字实在太太常见了。

Point of illicit entry 非法入侵点

create incentives for safer behavior 为安全行为创造激励因素  创建鼓励安全行为的激励方案incentive 高频词

Refrain from doing sth 阻止做某事 克制做…

Draw comparisons to: 与...作对比

Lax attitude: 松懈的态度

Come down hard with: 开始对...严格,严厉 严厉惩罚


Day 10 总结反思

   In my previous opinion, cyber-security is a problem that relates to goverments and big companies but  now I realize that in the near future it will spread to almost every corner of our life with the emergence of "Internet of things". Thus, cyber-security is getting increasingly essential for everyone and we have to take it seriouly.
