EP7.0溶剂残留中的溶液配制翻译？

Solvent solution (c) Dissolve 1.00 g of the solvent or solvents present in the substance to be examined in dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R, if appropriate, and dilute to 100.0 ml with water R. Dilute to give a concentration of 1/20 of the limit(s) stated in Table 1 or 2 (see 5.4. Residual solvents).

请问这样翻译是否恰当“溶解1.00g溶剂或供试品中可能存在的溶剂于二甲基亚砜或水中。如果适当的话，用水稀释至100.0ml，浓度为表1或表2中限定浓度的1/20。”



这段话的意思是将你需要检测的几种残留溶剂取1.00g溶于二甲亚砜或者水中，这些溶剂有可能是你产品中存在的，也有可能是不存在的，但标准规定要检测的



供参考。

楼上的话是相当的有道理的

“if appropiate” seems to be used to describe “dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R”

There are 3 steps:
(1) Dissolve 1.00 g of the solvent or solvents present in the substance to be examined in dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R, if appropriate (i.e. use dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R whichever is appropriate) and;
(2) Dilute to 100.0 ml with water R;
(3) Dilute to give a concentration of 1/20 of the limit(s) stated in Table 1 or 2 (see 5.4. Residual solvents).
= = = = = =



好奇问句, 是不是准备100.0 ml水, 然后将含有solvent的水(或二甲基亚砜)滴进100.0ml水内, until the concentration is to be 1/20 of the limit(s) stated in Table 1 or 2 (see 5.4. Residual solvents).

理解有误。看这样的长句一定要分析句子结构，理顺其中的逻辑顺序再来翻译。另外有些文字要结合上下文来理解。比如上下文是关于残留溶剂测定的，因此句子中的“solvent”和“solvents”明显是指需要测定的残留溶剂。

前半段的三层结构：

第一层： Dissolve 1.00 g of the solvent or solvents in dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R, and dilute to 100.0 ml with water R.

第二层： Dissolve 1.00 g of the solvent or solvents present in the substance（蓝色部分用于修饰“solvents”，指通过质量研究，发现substance中存在一种或几种残留溶剂） in dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R, if appropriate, （蓝色部分作状语，用于修饰前面一整句，指应根据情况选择用二甲亚砜还是用水稀释。如果二甲亚砜本身就是待检测的残留溶剂，那当然不能再用二甲亚砜来稀释了）and dilute to 100.0 ml with water R.

第三层： Dissolve 1.00 g of the solvent or solvents present in the substance to be examined （紫色部分用于修饰“substance”，指这是需要检测的substance，即供试品）in dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R, if appropriate, and dilute to 100.0 ml with water R.

全句意思：取供试品中存在的一种或几种残留溶剂各1.00g，溶于二甲亚砜或水（若适用），用水稀释至100.0ml。继续稀释，直至浓度为表1或表2（见5.4.残留溶剂）所列限度的1/20。

Agreed :

(1) Dissolve 1.00 g of {[(the solvent or solvents) present in the substance] to be examined} [(in dimethyl sulphoxide R or water R), if appropriate] and;
(2) Dilute to 100.0 ml with water R;
(3) Dilute to give a concentration of 1/20 of the limit(s) stated in Table 1 or 2 (see 5.4. Residual solvents)

= = = = = =

英文名词有单众数之分。为了清楚, 故有XXX or XXXs, 或简化为XXX(s) 。有些法律文件为免太多“XXX or XXXs”, 会一律用singular, 但事先声明singular亦包含plural where appropriate.

中文名词没有单众数之分, 要译成“XXX 或 NXXX”, 按上下文意思, N=各(种、类、件……)、多(种、类、件……)、其它、所有等, 或“XXX 或 XXX们”(若涉及人) 。

写到这里, 对“们”字有点好奇。 读过的古文、诗、词未见过“们” 字, “们”是什么时侯出现的呢?

真是解释得太精辟了。谢谢各位大侠！
