1.“中文搜索引擎”可以直接译成Chinese search engine,也可以将其理解为“用中文作为搜索语言的引擎”,译作search engine using Chinese language。
2.第二句中的“致力于”可使用be devoted to结构,类似表达还有be committed to,be dedicated to,work on和 aim to。
3.“中国高科技企业”的定语“掌握最尖端的核心技术的”较长,所以用that引导的定语从句表达:that master the most sophisticated core technology。
4.在“百度提供的所有产品操作简单”中,将“操作简单”用过去分词短语easily operated表达,放在句首,可以起强调作用。最后两句之间隐含了因果关系,可以合译成一个长句,用so连接,使逻辑更清晰。
