Long-term unemployed:
•have received an income support payment, and
•were unemployed for at least 26 out of the last 39 weeks
文中,第2要点红色的时间段是说‘至少26周没工作’。在英语中,这个时间段也作用于上一行的第1点吗?
也就是说应该翻译成‘26周领income support payment & 至少26周没工作’, 还是‘只要在领income support payment & 至少26周没工作?作者: keepdancing 时间: 14-11-2013 06:40
这个是中英文行文习惯不同造成了你的困惑。其实,这段话你这样看就知道怎么回事了:
Long-term unemployment:
have received an income support payment, and were unemployed for at least 26 out of the last 39 weeks.
if you:
•are long-term unemployed
•do not have a dependent child and have received an income support payment, other than a student payment, and
•were unemployed for at least 26 out of the last 39 weeks and starting full-time study in a course of 12 months’ duration or more
