❖ 许多跨国公司已经在中国开始了各种商业活动。

重复的效果（Effect of repetition）
程镇球教授指出汉语里比英语里有更多的形容词和副词。 如果在政府报告中有太多重复的修饰语，他警告说： “如果所有的都按照字面直译到英语中，效果会被淡化。 太多的强调反而会失去了强调的效果。”
“淡化效果”（deadening effect）这一问题经常出现在 政治文件的英语版本中。所有的任务都是“艰巨的” （“arduous”），所有任务都是“强制” （“imperative”）执行的，不断地催促我们执行任务要 “认真地”（“conscientiously”）,努力地 （“diligently”），“坚决地”（“resolutely”），积极 地（“energetically”，“vigorously”），“坚定不移地” （“unswervingly”），“坚持不懈地” （“persistently”），以及“不懈地” （“unremittingly”）。
