现在各种规模的外贸公司非常多，在进行外贸业务的时候，很多时候都会用到一些特定的外贸文本。在一些由中文翻译的英语样本、合同、广告和其他文件材料中常见一些翻译错误，现杭州翻译公司仅举几个出现频率较高的例子，试作分析，谨供参考。

1. 由港澳国际投资公司投资的海口电站工程因其建设速度和质量得到高度评价。 原译文：The Haikou Power Station Project invested by the Hongkong-Macau International Investment Co., Ltd. was highly appraised for its construction speed and quality. 杭州翻译公司注：投资某项工程应为invest in a project，在被动语态中不能漏去前置词in。应译为：The Haikou Power Station Project invested in(在某些情况下可用financed or funded) by the Hongkong-Macau International Investment Co., Ltd. was highly appraised for its construction speed and quality.

2. 上海 SFECO拥有5个控股子公司。 原译文：Shanghai SFECO Group has 5 share-holding companies. 杭州翻译公司注：share-holding company指控制或持有某公司股权的股东公司。上述译文意思是5个公司持有Shanghai SFECO Group的股份，换句话说，这5个公司是“老子”公司，因此显然不符合中文原意。应译为：Shanghai SFECO Group is a holding company of 5 subsidiary companies.或Shanghai SFECO Group holds shares of 5 subsidiary companies.

3. 项目中标之后，我们将立即开始前期准备工作。 原译文：After the bid is awarded, we shall immediately start our advance-phase preparation. 杭州翻译公司注：项目中标应为accept a bid or award the contract。显然上述译文把两种表达法相混淆了。应译为：After the bid is accepted (or the contract is awarded), we shall immediately start our advance-phase preparation.

4. 我公司出口工业产品、化工产品、医药等。 原译文：Our company exports industrial products, chemicals, medicines and etc. 杭州翻译公司注：etc.等于and so on或and others，已含有and的成分，上述译文无需加上and一词。应译为：Our company exports industrial products, chemicals, medicines, etc.

5 . 我们将委托贵公司作为我公司在毛里求斯的业务代理。 原译文：We hereby entrust your company to be our business agent in Mauritius. 杭州翻译公司注：entrust一词在作委托解时用法为entrust somebody with something or entrust something to somebody。应译为：We hereby appoint your company to be our business agent in Mauritius.

往往这些错误的产生是因为没有仔细去推敲中文中的意思，只要在翻译的时候多留一个心眼，多考虑一些特定短语及表达习惯，这些错误是可以避免的。
