English term or phrase: operably linked
请教如何简单扼要地将以下句子中的 “operably linked”译为中文?谢谢!

Within a recombinant expression vector, “operably linked” is intended to mean that the nucleotide sequence of interest is linked to the regulatory sequence(s) in a manner which allows for expression of the nucleotide sequence.

研究了一下,\"可操作地连接\" 应该是可以的,虽然没有广泛应用。如果用汉语写我们一般直接用连接,因为上下文自然会说明到底可行不可行,加个“可操作”或其它限定词反而不习惯。
\"可操作地连接\" 是已经有人使用的译法,但既然这样的译法没有普遍被采纳,我们完全可以自己再想一个来。我另提供两个作参考: “正确连接”(更符合汉语习惯)、“可用地连接”、“可行地连接”(后两个更符合原义,意思更明了,但不太符合汉语表达习惯)

英文解释意思很明了,\"the nucleotide sequence of interest is linked to the regulatory sequence(s) in a manner which allows for expression of the nucleotide sequence.\" 即核苷酸序列连接在调控区域下游,从而可以得到表达。这样一个连接方式即“operably linked”。 我个人认为“可操作地连接”译得很差,意思不明了而且不符合汉语习惯。请参照我以上提供的三个翻译。
我说“可操作地连接”也可以是因为我们专业人员看了上下文能明白其含义。

正因为我认为“可操作地连接”不理想,才提出这个问题,但只怕别人不一定能接受和理解其它译法,所以暂时只好先用一下“可操作地连接”。好在文中已对此术语的含意作了解释。有些貌似简单的词组却往往是最难译好的。十分感谢各位的建议!

Explanation:
You might wish to look at possibility of letting the sentence untranslated. If by doing so, the key information of the passage is not lost, then I think you could do it. Of course, it will depends on a lot of others factors.

Response to \"By the way, I found that the same question had been posted in French-English pairs before. It seems westerners also have headaches with this term.\"

Sure it does. Even the English Expression is a headache, if you notice there is a pair of quotation marks hanging over.
