Discussion

Wilman (asker) Mar 22, 2007:
Shouldn't 'municipal government' be '市政府', Pei Ling?
Wilman (asker) Mar 22, 2007:
I agree with you, Julia.
Julia Zou Mar 22, 2007:
从下面这句话可以看出:“镇街”不是一个地名,而是“镇和街”:
从2006年第三季度开始,镇街的写字楼开发与销售,突然在东莞的写字楼开发量中占到了比较大的比重。行内人士分析表示,这不仅是因为随着镇街基础设施的逐步完善,土地供应逐渐向镇街倾斜,镇街日益成为房地产开发的热点。另一方面,发展商选择在镇街开发写字楼,也是镇街城市化发展的一项表现。据了解,2006年镇街写字楼开发与销售的热点区域主要是常平、长安、凤岗等镇街,这几个镇街经济的高度发展,商贸环境的渐趋成熟,酝酿了写字楼的生存空间。

subdistrict offices and town governments

“镇街政府”应该是“镇政府和街道办事处”。中国的一个市或县下边会设区(district),区下面就是“街道”了。一般一个市下面会有很多镇政府或街道办事处。
请看下面对于“街道办事处”译法的解释:
“XX 街道”与“街道办事处”不能“混同一译”
设区的市,区下又设多个由区政府的派出机构“街道办事处”管辖的“街道”区域。在表示区域的时候,这时的“街道”不是某一条街道,而是区以下的一个 “分区”或“街区”。既然 municipality 下设的区为 district,那么表示 “分区”的“街道”区域就是 sub-district了。而“街道办事处”是区政府的派出机构 office,故应译为 sub-district office(of a district people’s government).
例5:本区下辖六个镇和两个街道办事处。
原译:There are 6 towns and 2 sub-district offices under the jurisdiction of the District.
改译:上译的sub-district offices 改为 sub-districts.
例6:这位是云城区河口街道办事处主任。
原译:This is the Director of the Hekou Street Office of the District.
改译:This is the Director of the Hekou Sub-district Office of the Yuncheng District Government. 或 This is the chief executive of the Hekou Sub-district of the Yuncheng District.
《羊城晚报》2000年5月14日报道广州逢源街建立一支2200多人加盟的社区义工队伍。报道中提到的“逢源街”及“区街领导”中的“区”就应译 district, “街”译 sub-district.

Peer comment(s):

agree H. J. Zhang : better township instead of town, as town covers much wider: new york is also a town.

neutral Malcolm Mayfield : (sorry) Does it refer to a particular local government or certain local government? 镇街 refers to a part or parts of 东莞市, does it not?
