最近,易烊千玺放弃入职国家话剧院的事情大家应该都知道了。让我们来看看各家媒体在报道中如何翻译“编制”的。事实上,英语里并没有“编制”这个词,媒体普遍选择了解释性翻译何为编制,比如彭博社报道:


The government job comes with "bianzhi," which usually means protections against dismissal, housing subsidies or other benefits.
这份带有“编制”的政府工作,免受解雇、有住房补贴和其他福利。

注意这个词 dismissal /dɪsˈmɪsl/,就表示解雇、开除,an act of officially removing an employee from their job。比如,他决定起诉公司非法解雇他:He decided to sue his company for wrongful dismissal.
subsidy /ˈsʌbsədi/ 就表示津贴、补贴,住房补贴就是 housing subsidy,出口补贴就是 export subsidy,防暑高温补贴就是 high temperature subsidy。
再来看《南华早报》如何解释“编制”:


The row taps into a wider controversy about "bianzhi" – which means a stable career with pension and other benefits in government or government-affiliated institutions.
这场争议引发了关于“编制”更为广泛的论战,编制是一种稳定职业,在政府或政府附属机构中拥有养老金和其他福利。

row /rəʊ/ 在这里不是我们熟悉的一排、一行,而是表示争吵、争论,a noisy argument or fight。比如说,我父母经常吵架,但大部分时间都是我爸在那儿扯着嗓子嚷嚷:My parents often have rows, but my dad does most of the shouting.

tap into sth. /tæp ˈɪntə/ 则是固定搭配,表示开发、发掘,利用,使用…以获得好结果,to manage to use something in a way that brings good results。比如说:如果我们能够挖掘出我们的创意,我们就能赢得这次比赛:We will win the contest if we can tap into our creativity.

affiliated /əˈfɪlieɪtɪd/ 就表示隶属的、附属的,政府附属机构就是 government-affiliated institutions;浙江大学附属学院就是 a college affiliated to the University of Zhejiang。

再来看 Sixth Tone 如何解释“编制”:


The lucky graduates would join one of the country's most famous theater companies as official public employees with "iron rice bowl" jobs, meaning good benefits and job security in a notoriously unstable industry.
幸运的毕业生将加入这个国家最著名的戏剧公司之一,成为有着“铁饭碗”工作的公职人员,这意味着在一个出了名的不稳定行业中获得良好的福利和工作保障。

我们看good benefit 良好福利 和 job security 工作保障 这两个词,可谓是点出了编制的重要优势。
