句子：創(chuàng)業(yè)板是中小企業(yè)的重要融資渠道。

誤譯：The growth enterprise market is an important financing channel for medium-sized and small enterprises.

正譯：The growth enterprise market is an important financing channel for small and medium-sized enterprises.

解釋：漢語(yǔ)表示“中小”概念時(shí)，語(yǔ)序是從大到小排列。漢語(yǔ)說(shuō)“中小企業(yè)”，英語(yǔ)卻說(shuō)small and medium-sized enterprises，可能跟讀音有關(guān)，把長(zhǎng)的字詞放在后邊。英語(yǔ)表示地址時(shí)，是從大向小排列。例如：中國(guó)北京市北京大學(xué)外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)院英語(yǔ)系，譯成英語(yǔ)是 English Department, School of Foreign Languages, Peking university, Beijing, China。

“創(chuàng)業(yè)”的第一個(gè)意思是“開(kāi)創(chuàng)事業(yè)”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為 to start an undertaking, to do pioneering work。例如：俗話說(shuō)：創(chuàng)業(yè)難，守業(yè)更難。As a common saying goes, it is difficult to start an undertaking and it is even more difficult to maintain the undertaking. “創(chuàng)業(yè)”的第二個(gè)意思是“創(chuàng)辦企業(yè)或公司”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為 to establish an enterprise, to start up a business, to set up a company。例如：這個(gè)學(xué)生從大學(xué)一畢業(yè)就自己創(chuàng)業(yè)了。As soon as the student graduated from the university, he started up his own business.

“創(chuàng)業(yè)資金”，英語(yǔ)可以譯為venture capital?！皠?chuàng)業(yè)板市場(chǎng)”或“創(chuàng)業(yè)板”，也稱“二板市場(chǎng)”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為growth enterprise market, second-board market。例如：不同于主板市場(chǎng)，二板市場(chǎng)的目標(biāo)是為中小型高科技新興企業(yè)提供融資途徑和成長(zhǎng)空間。Being different from the main-board market, the second-board market is aimed at providing small and medium-sized newly-emerging high-tech enterprises with financing channels and developmental space.“創(chuàng)業(yè)精神”，英語(yǔ)可以譯為 pioneering spirit, enterprising spirit, entrepreneurship。例如：給我印象最深的，不是他所取得的顯著成就，而是他的創(chuàng)業(yè)精神。What has impressed me most is not the notable success he has achieved but his pioneering spirit.▲
