要翻译好，就必须对山东乃至中国的政治、经济、文化等方面的知识有所了解并具备较高的中英文转换能力；3.此文难度适中，长短适中（540汉字），符合此次翻译作业的要求。

二．翻译过程由于是一篇序，涉及到山东省外国专家，省人力资源和社会保障厅、省外国专家局等概念，措辞正式、严谨，所以翻译时要求英文对等词句同样正式、严谨。

以下是我在中译英过程中发现、分析并解决问题的过程及心得，有些词句网上有固定译法，则以下不做赘述。

1.“齐鲁大地，处处留下外国专家的足迹”：第一句的翻译重点在前半句“齐鲁大地”，有各种译法，网上显示目前没有官方译法，我在中国知网的英文论文库查“在…大地”，显示为“in the land of”；而“齐鲁”我决定采用拼音加注释的译法，最终定为“in the land of Qilu (Shandong Province) ”。

2.“无不凝聚着外国专家的智慧和汗水”：“智慧和汗水”属于中国文章特有的抒情表达，英语没有相关搭配。

“智慧”英文主要有“intelligence”和“wisdom”两种，我认为“wisdom”表意太宽泛，含有“英明”之意，更适合形容领导人，而对外国专家来说，他们的智慧指的是聪明的头脑，所以我选“intelligence”；“汗水”英文主要有“perspiration”和“sweat”两种，前者更正式，符合本文文体，最终定为“intelligence and perspiration”。

3.“为纪念…做出的重要贡献”：原本此句翻译没有难点，但我反复阅读上下文发现，此处“纪念”的对象是“外国专家在我省经济建设和社会发展中做出的重要贡献”，而根据上下文，这些贡献在写这篇序前后仍在继续，所以不能简单地理解为对过去的纪念，而对过去的纪念英文中有“to commemorate”，“in memory of”，“in remembrance of”等多种表达，而经查英英词典，这些表达多指“对已发生的事情或已逝去的人的纪念”，而根据上下文，本文中的外国专家有的仍健在，所以不能简单的“纪念”他们的贡献，因此我理解为“为向外国专家做出的重要贡献表示敬意”，我用了短语“in honor of”,经查英英词典，意为“in order to show respect and admiration for sb/sth”，它特指“对刚发生或正在发生的事以及活着的人的敬意”。
