新起英语名

三、新起英语名

这个小标题是指这么三种情况：一、别人要求我们给其企业或机构起个英语名字。遇到这种情况，特别是有点儿规模的企业，似可建议对方认真对待，多找几位专业人士咨询，甚至可以全国或全球征集，还可趁机做个炒作。换句话说，不应轻易给人家起名，包括英语名称。

二、我们自己要创业，希望先想好一个英语名字。这与给自己起个英语名字是一样的——由你自己决定。一般而言有两种做法：一是专有部分音译（即采用汉语拼音），通用名称部分意译。“公司”通常译作Company或Corporation及其缩略形式Corp.，“（股份）有限公司”或“股份有限公司”译为Co. Ltd.或者Co., Ltd.，一般首字母要大写，少数名称中全部字母大写。二是意译甚至另起新名，有时另起的英语名称与已有的汉语名称都看不出来是同一家——各节均有例句所示。但与人名不同的是：应当查重，也就是查询是否有人已在使用这个名字。究竟采用哪个形式，可能需要与合作伙伴商量，还应想着将来有可能上市而趁早咨询专业人士。

三、企业文件汉译英过程中我们会遇到一些没有英语名字的企业，新设立的机构和一些小单位尚无公开的译名，或者一时查询不到，或者一下子查到多个版本。这种情况下，一般的权宜做法：一是音译专有名称部分，意译通名部分但采用小写；二是由译者确定一个译名，在后面加括号附上汉字原名的音译；三是可用括号、插入句、注释等形式说明该企业或机构的类别词，比如a textile maker, a chemical manufacturer, a consultant等等。有时还可以在叙述中增加解释——这便是编译了。

对上一章和本章的总结是：多数D类译文都是自行音译的结果，花费了劳动，却没有交际效用，C类译文也有一部分属于这种性质的个体行为，有悖“商务英语”的本来作用。A类译文是这套教材推荐的“译”法，即认真查询，认真照抄，然后认真核对。

我们这个社会已经空前复杂化了。本课程的目标学生数年之后走向社会，免不了会承揽各类翻译工作。如果遇到了这样的机会，请你尽量联系这两章所讲，让我们为信息流通的简化作一点儿力所能及的贡献——至少不要制造更多的混乱。
