大三 物流英语翻译

Unit6

1. 仓库的主要功能之一是将零散货物拼装成整担进行运输，从而

大量节约运输成本。

The one of primary functions is to consolidate smaller shipments into a large shipment with significant transportation savings.

2. 交叉理货是一项完成产品组合功能而进行的操作。在此项操作

中，供货商的产品以整车的数量运到仓库。这些产品不是被储

存起来等待以后的分拣，而是越过仓库运到等待装运的货车上

以便送到特定的客户手中。

Cross-docking is an operation that facilitates the product-mixing function.

In across-docking operation, products from different suppliers arrive in truckload lots, but instead of being placed into storage for later picking, they are moved across the warehouse area to waiting trucks for movement to particular customers.

3. 传统的仓库只有储存的功能。随着商业经济的发展，传统的仓

库已经无法满足现代商业快速转变的需求。因此，它们已经变

成了配送中心或者立体自动化仓库。配送中心实现以下功能：

收货，入库，分拣和配送。在仓库的规划设计中，应该遵循便

于产品穿过仓库连续向前流动这一原则。这种直线式的产品流

动提高了运作的效率，并将拥堵和冗余降到了最低水平。

The main function of an old-fashioned/a traditional warehouse is to store goods. As a result of the modern commerce development, traditional warehouse failed to satisfy the requirements for the rapid changes of contemporary business. Therefore, it has developed into a distribution center which providers/offers the functions as follows: receiving, storing, replenishing, picking and delivering.

Unit7

1. 对于今天的企业来说，它们的一项首要任务是找出新的、创造

性的方法来减少关键业务过程中的成本，这也包括那些与物流

相关的业务。

A major priority for many firms today is to figure out new and innovative

ways to take cost out of their key business processes, including those relating to logistics.

2. 虽然许多公司都优先将物流设施放置在靠近市场和顾客的地

方，但从成本角度来看，一个过分复杂的物流网络可能不具有

优势。同时，从物流设施的及时性方面来看，高质量运输服务

和有效信息技术的可得性都引起了地理区域的扩张。这种扩张

同时能够提供来自主要物流设施的及时物流服务。

Although many companies place a high priority on locating logistics facilities near markets and customers, an overly complex logistics network can be disadvantageous from a cost perspective. Also the availability of high-quality transportation services and capable information technologies has resulted in an expansion of the geographical areas that can be served in a timely manner from key logistics facilities.

Unit8

1. 一个很好的例子就是沃尔玛使用信息系统为其店铺的服装销售

进行补货。每天各个销售点汇集的信息使其总部能够决定补货

需求。这些信息被直接发往各个供应商，供应商根据各商店的

要求将货物分别包装并贴好条码。（使用定语从句）

A good case in point is Wal-Mart’s information system that drives the

replenishment process for the clothing and apparel sold through their US stores. The head office determines replenishment requirement based on the daily information from the points of sale that is transmitted directly to the suppliers who package individual store requirements into bar-coded parcel.

2. 运输管理系统（TMS）可以对运输批量和运输服务成本及质量

要求进行匹配，尤其是在多种运输服务相互竞争时更是如此。

一个好的运输管理系统能够储存多种运输方式、服务费用、预

计运输时间、可用方式和服务频率的数据，并能为每单货物提

议最好的承运人。

The TMS can match shipment size with transport service cost and performance requirements, especially where there are competing choices involved. A good TMS will store data on multiple modes, freight rates, expected shipment times, mode availability, and service frequency and will suggest the best carrier for each shipment.

Unit9

1. 逆向物流指对基础物流反方向流动所涉及的货物、需求信息和

资金的管理。它包括减少废物产生以及对有害和无害废弃物的

收集、运输、处理和回收利用。这样可以使企业的长期收益最

大化。

Reverse logistics is the management of all the activities involved in goods, demand information, and money flowing in the opposite direction of the
