【错误翻译】This paper first discusses the features of this signal, and then its generation is described.
例3
【汉语原句】这台设备的特点是操作简便，价格 低廉。
【错误翻译】The features of this device are easy in operation and low in price.
【错误分析】本句主语是features，所以其表语不 能用easy in operation and low in price,而只能用 名词短语,这叫做“主表对等”。如果主语是具 体的东西，我们就可以说This device is good in quality。
【正确翻译】The features of this device are easy operation and low price.或 The device features easy operation and low price.
例2
【汉语原句】本文首先讨论了这种信号的特点， 然后讨论了它的产生。
【错误翻译】This paper first discusses the features of this signal, and then its generation is described.
【错误翻译】This paper first discusses the features of this signal, and then its generation is described.
【正确翻译】This new method has the advantages of high efficiency and easy adjustment.
【错误翻译】This kind of new method have the advantage of high efficiency, easy adjustment.
【错误翻译】The sine law of the variance of the light intensity brought due to the variance of the cylinder diameter has been pointed out emphatically.
【错误翻译】The sine law of the variance of the light intensity brought due to the variance of the cylinder diameter has been pointed out emphatically.
【正确翻译】This paper first discusses the features of this signal, and then describes its generation.

【错误分析】语法上，本句没错误。但由于这是一 个并列复合句，一般来说两个并列句中的语态 （有时时态）应该一致。所以做如下修改。
【错误翻译】The features of this device are easy in operation and low in price.
【正确翻译】The features of this device are easy operation and low price.或 The device features easy operation and low price.
