漢語堅持的英語翻譯
“堅持”可以譯作adhere to, persevere1 in, persist in, hold on to, stick to, keep to等。

Persevere in 和persist in 一般用于行動，都有"“在困難或遭到反對的情況下堅持”的意思;但persevere in 帶褒義，表示“不屈不撓”，而persist in帶貶義，表示“頑固，不聽開導(dǎo)或勸告”，如：

Hold on to的意思是“抓住不放”，用于beliefs, ideas, principles時表示“堅持信仰，堅持原則和觀點(diǎn)”，即使他人影響或情況使人產(chǎn)生懷疑，也不改變或放棄，如：

Stick to 的意思是“粘住，不離”;和choice, decision, principle, belief等詞連用時，也有“不變，不放棄”，“堅持”的意思。
Keep to 有“不背離”，“不違背”，“遵守”的意思，如：

擴(kuò)展：Especially的一般譯法
在科技英語中常常見到在一個完整的句子后，由especially(或particularly, 下同)引出從句、詞組或單詞來強(qiáng)調(diào)主句的行為或狀態(tài)的突出表現(xiàn)。怎樣翻譯這類句子的強(qiáng)調(diào)部分呢?請先看下句的三種譯文：
It should be noted1 that any form of preheat adds to the welder's difficulties and causes discomfort2, particularly when welding at hight preheat temperature
levels inside vessels3.
1、應(yīng)該指出，特別在容器內(nèi)高溫預(yù)熱下施焊時，任何形式的預(yù)熱都會增加焊工的困難和使他們身感不適。
2、應(yīng)該指出，任何形式的預(yù)熱都會增加焊工的困難和使他們身感不適，特別是在容器內(nèi)高溫預(yù)熱下施焊時。
3、應(yīng)該指出，任何形式的預(yù)熱都會增加焊工的困難和使他們身感不適，在容器內(nèi)高溫預(yù)熱下施焊時尤其如此。
比較這三種譯文，譯文1的缺點(diǎn)在于：原文的敘述方式是從一般到特殊，譯文則超越一般情況，直接談到特殊情況，與原文似有不符。譯文2末尾的時間狀語懸空，在語法上似無說明對象，讀來令人有言有未盡之感。譯文3表義正確，句子結(jié)構(gòu)與原文一致，句尾用“如此”二字呼應(yīng)前文，無句意殘缺和語氣停滯之感。譯文3無疑是較好的，且這一漢譯模式似可用于處理類似結(jié)構(gòu)的所有英語句子。下面再舉幾個例子：
1)The decision to repair is not easy, especially in borderline cases.
作出返修的決定不是容易的，在可修可不修的情況下尤其如此。
2)Many code vessels are fabricated party in the shop and partly in the field, especially boilers4.
許多規(guī)范容器的制造，部分是在工廠，部分是在現(xiàn)場進(jìn)行的，鍋爐尤其如此。
3)A visual inspection5 must be done carefully for the materials, especially for those to be used in fabrication of pressure vessels.
必須對材料仔細(xì)進(jìn)行外觀檢查，對制造壓力容器所用材料尤需如此。
4)The shell parts of reactor6 pressure vessels have been often fabricated with formed plates welded together, especially in USA and Japan.
反應(yīng)壓力容器的殼體，歷來常常是用成型鋼板焊接而成的，在美國和日本尤其如此。
