Question: New Energy can be translated as either “New Energy” or “New Energy Source”. Which one is more appropriate? This post was last edited by Bincheng Watcher on 2008-3-1 20:28]
I think it’s better to translate it as the latter
\"New Energy Source\" is more commonly used; without \"Source\", it focuses mainly on energy, such as Nuclear energy, etc.
New energy sources are better.
www.newenergy.org.cn and www.new-energy.cn are two major domestic websites, but both use “new energy” in their domain names
One of our company’s foreign subsidiaries has recently established a new department, called the New Energy Dept. After all, the word \"energy\" itself already means energy – so why is it necessary to add the word \"source\" as well?
New in Chinese sometimes refers to something different from the traditional. All alternative energies are the best.
