[2013.5.4] 谁创造了就业机会？

引用 fsz 2013-5-7 21:38

1.Advocacy groups (also known as pressure groups, lobby groups, campaign groups, interest groups, or special interest groups) use various forms of advocacy to influence public opinion and/or policy; they have played and continue to play an important part in the development of political and social systems. Groups vary considerably in size, influence, and motive; some have wide ranging long term social purposes, others are focused and are a response to an immediate issue or concern. ——From Wiki

2. A person regarded as exemplifying a particular profession, rank, or social group: a group of executive types; a restaurant frequented by tourist types.

3. off the ground
Under way, as if in flight: Because of legal difficulties, the construction project never got off the ground.

谢谢您

所以它们依次是：利益集团、致力于...、起步  对吗？

赞！译文很多地方值得借鉴。

1、“统计小部件”这个词，译得既准确，又易于理解。

但quickly boosting the total译为“岗位数量就会大大上升”，最好加上限定词，应翻出定冠词the的含义。可以借用上面提到的“统计”一词，“统计数字会大大上升”。

2、other prominent Silicon Valley types to lobby on immigration and other issues.
致力于游说移民等问题的杰出硅谷企业

这句译文结构有问题，请再分析一下句子成分。而且，type是指“代表人物”，不是“企业”。
FWD.us是由脸谱网老板扎克伯格与其他硅谷代表人物（包括微软的gates、Google的Schmidt和Yahoo的Meyer等）共同成立的。

谢谢您的建议！

关于lobby on那一句的翻译我还是没法理顺，现在修改后的怎么样？您是怎么处理的？

谢谢你的建议(^_^)
我的想法是：新兴是＂刚起步发展势头良好＂；而＂初创＂是＂刚起步＂，还不知道前景怎么样。所以感觉＂初创＂比较准确〜

SHAYAN ZADEH, the co-founder of Zoosk, a popular online-dating service based in San Francisco, is worried. In the current debate on immigration, few realise that foreign-born entrepreneurs create jobs for locals. “It’s a real public-relations problem,” bemoans Mr Zadeh, who came to the country as a student from Iran and worked at Microsoft before establishing his own firm, which now employs almost 150 people.

当前美国对移民问题的讨论甚嚣尘上，但很少人注意到其实那些移民企业家们为美国当地人创造了许多就业机会。Zoosk网站（旧金山一家颇具人气的相亲网站）创始人之一Shayan Zadeh最近也因这个问题忧心忡忡，他叹气道：“事实上这是个公关问题。”Zadeh学生时期就从伊朗来到了美国，之前在微软工作，后来又建立了自己的公司。如今公司已发展到约150名雇员的规模。

谢谢你的建议~！

我的想法是，开头由一个具体例子引出事件，移民问题中那个很少有人注意到的事实承接Zadeh的“忧心忡忡”。

可能是我之前看的一本杂志风格是类似这样的，所以受了些影响我觉得你我的版本都是可行的~
