Chapter 1 Lexical Translation（词法翻译）
1.1 Diction（选词法）
Ⅰ. Choice of Affective Meanings
1. In our Second Address on the war, five days after the advent of those men, we told you what they were.【译文】在这伙人上台五天以后，我们在关于前次战争的第二篇宣言中已经向你们说明他们究竟是些什么货色了。
2. Many of the old Orleanist stagers had merged into the Bonapartist lot.【译文】很多奥尔良的老角色也与波拿巴派同流合污了。
3. As a demanding boss, he expected total loyalty and dedication from his employees.【译文】他是个苛刻的老板，要求手下的人对他忠心耿耿，鞠躬尽瘁。【解析】“demanding”本身属于中性词，但根据句意而翻成贬义词。
4. It is my comfort and my sincere conviction that you are going to try the life for which you are best fitted. I think it freedom and wildness more suited to you than any experiment in a study of office would ever have been, and without that training, you could have followed no other suitable occupation.【译文1】你将体验的生活是最适合你的，这是我的安慰，也是我诚挚的信念。我认为那种自由与放荡不羁的生活较比书房或办公室的工作更适合你。缺少那种训练，你就不能从事其他适合你的职业。【译文2】你将体验的生活是最适合你的，这是我的安慰，也是我诚挚的信念。我认为那种自由和无拘无束的生活较比书房或办公室的工作更适合你。缺少那种训练，你就不能从事其他适合你的职业。【解析】参考译文1中将原文中的wildness译成“放荡不羁”，与原文要表达的意义不相符。原文中wildness与freedom并列，很明显没有负面的含义，表示“不受约束”之意。而“放荡不羁”意思为“任意妄为、淫乐放纵，行为不检点”，明显歪曲了原作的意思。

②This is the last place where I expected to meet you.【译文】

①我们的计划成功了。

②对货物质量的索赔须于货物抵达目的港之日起30日内提出。【解析】英语原文中的“claim”在普通英语中为“声称”“要求”“要求物”之意，但在国际贸易中，它具有了“索赔”这一专业意义，它同“lodge”搭配使用，构成“lodge a claim”这一表达专业意义的短语。
5. ①It is possible that more of the company, s stores will be closed.
②Stock prices of many major commercial banks closed lower, as they had in previous trading.【译文】
①这家公司有更多的商店很有可能要关闭了。
