Discuss the translation of a short paragraph
Thread Content
Example sentences: Any misalignment due to under toleranced connectors halves 12a-b may further increase the asymmetric forces and therefore the friction experienced by the valve packing 58. Translation by others: Any misalignment resulting from connector halves 12a-b being below the tolerance range may further increase the asymmetrical forces and thereby increase the friction experienced by the valve packing 58. Author's translation: Even within tolerances, a slight misalignment of the connector halves 12a-b may further increase the asymmetric forces on the valve packing 58 and the resulting friction. My own comment. A revised translation is not as good as the original translation. Under toleranced should mean "the tolerance is lacking". Similar usages include: undersized paper, under-o * dized is insufficiently oxidized, under-oxidized. The translation of underinflated tire as "even within the tolerance range" should be regarded as a serious error. The above is a paragraph I saw in a post, and I posted it for discussion with everyone. (Notice: All the black parts above are the content of the original post). I have reservations about the translation of this last person as under-toleranced.
under tolerance Negative tolerance---"Chemical Machinery Dictionary" The forum below has discussed this a lot, but I don't see the final conclusion. :dizzy: http://www.proz.com/forum/chinese/121234-%E5%AF%B9%E3%80%8A%E4%B8%93%E5%88%A9%E6%96%87%E7%8C%AE%E7%9A%84%E8%8B%B1%E6%B1%89%E7%BF%BB%E8%AF%91%E3%80%8B%E4%B8%80%E4%B9%A6%E4%B8%AD%E4%B8%80%E4%BA%9B%E4%BE%8B%E5%8F%A5%E7%9A%84%E5%95%86%E6%A6%B7-page2.html
-- Under tolerance is a negative tolerance, so does under toleranced definitely represent the original intention? In addition, logically speaking, I prefer to change the translation, emphasizing that within the tolerance range, deviation will also have consequences. --
I don't think it's quite right.
Haha, why do I think the translation is perfect!

Look at the entire text. If only positive deviations are allowed, or the above problems do not occur within the range of positive deviations, then the original translation is accurate.
