汉语命名中倾向于加范畴词,如 问题、状态、情况、工作,有时本身没有实质的意义,翻译时可以省去不译。
例:总之,就全国范围来说,我们一定能够逐步顺利解决沿海同内地贫富差距的问题。
In short, taking the country as a whole, we are certainly able to settle the problem regarding the the wealth gap between the coastal and hinterland areas gradually and smoothly.
改译: In short, taking the country as a whole, I am confident that we can gradually bridge the gap bewteen coastal and inland areas.
贫富差距的问题,如果直译为 the problem regarding the wealth gap 显然并没有错,但比较罗嗦,因为差距本身就是一个问题,因此在翻译中可将范畴词 问题删除。
译文二考虑到前文(这是邓选中的)已经谈到贫富差距问题,因此又删除了wealth,仅保留了 the gap,意思仍然清楚
