”How to translate “three checks and four fixes”

It’s indeed a bit difficult to translate some of the slogan-like expressions used by state-owned enterprises; often, even after translation, neither Chinese nor foreigners can understand them. During a business trip, an equipment management expert from a foreign company also used similar translations during a meeting: “three understandings” (understanding the structure, understanding the principle, and understanding the performance) and “four abilities” (being able to use it, being able to maintain it, being able to check it, and being able to fix faults). He translated these as “three understandings” (understand the structure, understand the principle, and understand the function) and “four doings” (will use, will maintain, will check, and will fix faults). The term “three check four fix” you mentioned can also be roughly translated as “three check four confirm”; I’m not sure who has an authoritative translation for this phrase.

Using “check” in this way is too ambiguous. The correct expression is: “Three Levels checking and Four Levels Verifying” – this is how it is recorded in foreign texts

I think using \"inspection\" for this \"check\" would be better. Foreigners use similar expressions; for example, Mechanical Completion Inspection is translated as Mechanical Completion Inspection.

Because “Three Levels checking and Four Levels Verifying” cannot be found online. This claim. Based on the opinions of the people mentioned above, a possible translation is: Three inspections and Four confirmations. However, no such expression can be found online either. :L :L :L

The form used for checking and approving foreign projects is called a punch list

Punch list——a list of items to be corrected, and its contents correspond to the aspects of the three inspections and four determinations. I used to see someone translate “punch list” as “three checks and four confirmations,” and I always thought it wasn’t quite appropriate. Punch list – The list of issues identified during inspections, the corrective actions to be taken, the responsible parties, and the deadlines are all included in it; it is simply a table.

For things like this, it’s better to provide a free translation for foreigners; there’s no need to be too strict about the literal wording. Moreover, the concepts of ‘three checks and four verifications’ and PUNCHLIST are not exactly the same! The three inspections and four determinations for newly constructed facilities are somewhat similar to the Pre-startup Review

In my opinion, the true meaning of the three inspections and four verifications is a thorough inspection of the equipment before it is put into operation, as once these tasks are completed, the conditions for starting up the equipment are basically met. Can it be translated as “overall inspection prior to start-up?”

Showing off one’s skills in front of an expert: Three inspections, four solutions

I think \"Three inspections and Four confirmations\" is more appropriate. Online, there is the concept of \"three checks and seven verifications\": three inspections and seven verifications.

Personally, I think PSSR is more appropriate for pre-startup safety review

The final translation refers to my attempt on the 5th floor; it is advisable to add a detailed explanation in the accompanying brackets. Since this is a very old post, I cannot edit it myself. May I ask a moderator to change it to “solved” in order to conclude this discussion? This post was last edited by echommm on 2009-3-3 at 10:00.]

There’s no authority behind this at all; just make it clear. Explain it clearly the first time, and then use abbreviations thereafter – otherwise, a long sequence of words every time is extremely troublesome. The tasks of three checks and four determinations (checking for missing items, quality discrepancies, and unfinished items, and determining actions to be taken, corrective measures, and deadlines; hereinafter referred to as the 3C4D Tasks, or simply the Tasks). Ugh, that spelling of “hereinafter” is always getting messed up. This post was last edited by RainWolf on 2009-3-3 11:23]

The translation upstairs is good, but I think using INSPECT might be better? JUST MY OP.

Damn it, I must have missed it. Assign tasks and determine the units and individuals responsible for handling them (responsibilities, responsible parties or personnel); at first glance, it might seem like job assignments are being made.

Learn* it a bit. The checklist for checking thermal commissioning conditions specified in the specifications for commissioning of chemical industry construction projects uses the abbreviation PSSD ； It didn’t mention the three checks and four fixings.

Foreigners only understand the PUNCH LIST; it’s the only task left in a project, and they understand it when they hear this term. Translating it according to its Chinese meaning won’t help them understand it
