官員申報財產

句子：這個地方政府發布了一項規定，要求縣級官員申報個人財產。

誤譯：The local government issued a rule that required county-level officials to report their personal property.

正譯：The local government issued a rule that required county-level officials to declare their personal property.

解釋：to report 的意思是to give people information about sth that you have seen, heard, done, etc.，即“報告所見、所聞或所做之事”，與個人財產無關。而“申報財產”要用to declare表示?！吧陥蟆钡牡谝粋€意思是“向上級或有關部門遞交建議報告，以爭取獲準”?？勺g為 to submit a proposal。例如：這位科學家正在準備申報一項國家自然基金項目。The scientist is making a preparation to submit a proposal for a project supported by the National Natural Sciences Fund.“申報世界遺產”的意思是“提交提名建議將文化或自然遺產列入《世界遺產名錄》”，簡稱“申遺”，英語可以譯為to submit a nomination proposal for sth to be considered for inscription on the World Heritage List。例如：這個亞洲國家已將這座有一千多年歷史的古廟申報世界遺產。This Asian country has submitted a nomination proposal for the old temple with a history of over one thousand years to be considered for inscription on the World Heritage List.

“申報”的第二個意思是“向海關或稅務部門報告情況，或向有關部門報告個人財產情況”。英語可以譯為 to declare, to make a declaration。例如：公民應向稅務部門如實申報個人收入。Citizens must honestly declare their personal income to the tax office. “申報”的第三個意思是“向上級或有關部門報告情況并提出申請”。英語可以譯為to apply for。例如：你有資格申報項目經費。You are eligible to apply for the project grant.“申報戶口”是“申請戶籍”，英語可以譯為to apply for residence registration?！?/p>
