语言差异导致表达的不同比较

下面那个翻译为正确或准确的译文：

“来信写道”the letter writes,/ the letter reads; “取得成就”make achievements, /score/attain achievements,; “革命接班人”successor to the revolution / revolutionary successor;

“为了推动中美关系的发展，中国需要进一步了解美国，美国也需要进一步了解中国。”To promote the development of the China-US relations, China needs to know the US better

and （the US also needs to know China better）. the development of 可省，句末括号内的文字

用vice versa 代替；

（3) 修辞词过多，画蛇添足：“彻底粉碎”completely smash，smash的本意是break completely; “完全征服” comp letely conquer, conquer 不可能是partly；“伟大的历史性转折” a great historic change, historic 已经还有great；以上complete和great 均不可译；

（4) 省略不当：“人的意志想要避免也不可能”It cannot be avoided even if people want to.

句末必须加上avoid it。

（5) 拟人有误：“创新是一个民族进步的灵魂。”Innovation is the soul of a nation’s progress.

soul 是有生命的，innovation没有，改译为innovation sustains the progress of a nation；

（6) 词类未转换：“中国的富强和发展不会对任何国家构成威胁” The strength, prosperity

and development of China will pose no threat to any countries. 可改译为A strong, prosperous

and developed China will pose no threat to any countries.
