1.“由于中国有丰富的劳动力资源…”,可以使用owing to是“受到世界各国的欢迎”的原因,翻译时可以使用on account of引出理由,避免重复。
2.“中国的制造业迅速发展”与“中国制造”已经成为一个在全球广受认识的标签”是因果关系,为避免与前面表达原因的短语重复,可以使用短语thanks to…。
3.在“尽管全球大量的电子产品和鞋都是中国制造,但这些产品的设计都是在欧美国家完成的”中,“电子产品和鞋”是“制造”的受动者,“设计”是“完成”的受动者,故使用被动语态来翻译。
4.最后一句中“希望实现从‘中国制造’到‘中国设计’的转变”可使用现在分词作状语,译作hoping to betransformed from "Made in China" into "Designed in China"。“实现”一词可省略,把汉语原文中的名词“转变”译作动词transform,这样处理句子更简洁。
