本書強(qiáng)調(diào)翻譯的準(zhǔn)確性，通過學(xué)生具體的翻譯作業(yè)，以改錯、講解、提問、加注的方式，把公文翻譯中常出現(xiàn)的錯誤或其他問題提出來，并加以解決。文后還附有參考答案。另外，作者還針對文中涉及的具體翻譯問題，用簡短的方式，重點講解相關(guān)的理論或技巧，使學(xué)習(xí)者不僅停留在“知其然”的階段，還要達(dá)到“知其所以然”的水平。供講解的文章多為200到300字的英文節(jié)選，每篇文章構(gòu)成一個短小精悍的單元，不至于使讀者陷于冗長的閱讀過程。本書適合大學(xué)翻譯專業(yè)學(xué)生、翻譯從業(yè)人員及翻譯愛好者閱讀。
本書作者長期從事翻譯工作，1989年至2015年在聯(lián)合國秘書處任職，先后擔(dān)任協(xié)理翻譯、翻譯、譯審、編輯組長、規(guī)劃專員、高級譯審。本書的編寫目的就是通過實例分析從不同側(cè)面引導(dǎo)讀者摸索探討公文翻譯的準(zhǔn)確性與創(chuàng)造性，了解公文翻譯準(zhǔn)確性的真正內(nèi)涵，把握創(chuàng)造性運用的分寸，學(xué)會避開種種陷阱。本書上篇為“英譯漢”，下篇為“漢譯英”。上篇和下篇分別有30個單元。探討了“準(zhǔn)確性的內(nèi)涵”、“特定概念的準(zhǔn)確性”、“中英文連詞用法的差異”、“何時需要發(fā)揮，何時不應(yīng)發(fā)揮？”、“恰當(dāng)選詞的重要性”、“非文學(xué)翻譯也是再創(chuàng)作”、“聚焦有機(jī)整體性”、“精煉漢語詞語的處理”等諸多議題。
