在律所的官网介绍中,对律所荣誉的介绍是其中必不可少的内容,因为获得的荣誉代表了律所的实力,体现了业界对律所的认可,为律所的品牌提供了坚实的依据。客户在浏览律所官网、评价某一律所时,这些荣誉也往往会作为有力的参考。因此,在翻译律所官网时,更加地道的表达这些内容就显得尤为重要。今天,我们就一起来看一看几家国内外律所中关于“荣获”、“斩获”某某奖项的英文表达。
1. Name
Name 在做动词讲时,除了有“to say what the name of someone or something is”这一层意思外,还可以表示“to announce who has got a new job or won a prize”。后者是我们在进行中英翻译时常常忽视的,而在外国律所的官网简介中,这一词也是用的最多的。如:
