Chinese term or phrase: 卡拉奇船厂
昨天翻译时遇到一个专有名词“卡拉奇船厂”,上网一查是“卡拉奇造船厂(Karachi Shipyard & Engg. Works). ”由于时间太紧,没仔细斟酌就写上了。知道客户来追问,自己才发现,结果糗大了。

不过“ & Engg. Works”在这里到底是什么意思?

agree  tianshandun (X): engineering表示工程学、工程技术、工艺技术;works (注意这里是复数)表示工厂、工程、工事。如果仅仅是Karachi Shipyard,你可以翻成‘卡拉奇船厂’(可以制造、修理、或生产零部件),但有了‘Engg. Works’,就必须翻成‘卡拉奇造船厂’,属船舶制造业厂家。供参考。
