Task 3. Consolidation
Translating figurative expressions

Translation 2 Topic2. SMEs and Private sectors

Look back at this expression from task 1 and see how it is translated into Vietnamese:

An overnight success like Flappy Bird is the exception to the rule. Even if other

Vietnamese companies make it to US shores, it likely won't happen soon.

But right now the overall government is following a sort of hybrid model -- not fully
supportive like China but not fully hands-off like the US, either.

Since literal translation may produce nonsense in Vietnamese, its better to see what the writer
means and try to convey that meaning rather than his words.
Now try the following:
1. Some businesses have understood that environmental protection and economic progress can
go hand in hand.
2. Your arguments are all true enough - yet, unhappily they are also largely beside the point.
3. The opposition parties do have the government on the ropes over several corruption and
campaign-finance scandals. The trouble is that the opposition, too, is far from clean.
4. The various opposition parties have talked about running on a unified ticket in next Julys
election.
5. Unless serious action is taken soon, he may leave office as a president long on reform
rhetoric, but short on delivery.
6. The fact that the economic situation is becoming worse could be helpful to the Prime
Minister: it gives him a rod with which to beat the back of opponents of change.
7. The statist Ministry of Trade and Industry has had the word Economy inserted into its name
as a nod to broader thinking.
8. As Hu Jintao struggles to find his feet after the congress, bold new moves to tackle state
enterprise reform and clear up bad debts look unlikely in the short term.
9. Second, to point out how ignorance of the real power of marketing is muddying the water.
Task 4. Parallel structure
Look at the following sentence:

Sheila is intelligent, beautiful, and has a lot of money.

Although the sentence is not grammartically wrong, it is unaccepted in standard written English,
because the structure is not parallel. To describe Sheilas qualities, we should use the same part
of speech:
Sheila is intelligent, beautiful, and rich.
Look back at the example from task 3:
Mc d vy, chng ta vn cn phi c nhng n lc vt bc nng cao hiu qu, tng cng
nng lc cnh tranh.

Cho n nay, doanh nghip t nhn Vit Nam vn phi i mt vi nhng vn nh thiu tip
cn ngun vn, t ai, nng lng cng nh mt th ch hnh chnh cng thun li.

America needs to accept a new world order that is less unipolar and more rule-based.
Now translate the following into English, making sure that the structure is parallel:
1. Ti rt thch cn phng ny v n c thit k rt p v trang thit b trong phng cng rt
tt.
2. Mc d thng mi in t ang l mt hin nay, mt cuc iu tra gn y cho thy 75%
