原文:盡管城市發展與生态環境不協調,
原譯文:Despite the lack of coordination between urban development and ecological environment,
改:Despite the incongruity between urban development and ecological environment,
分析:the lack of coordination是缺乏協調,沒有問題,但不夠簡潔,不如incongruity簡潔表示不相稱,不協調。一個詞比三個詞簡潔。
The incongruity of something is its strangeness when considered together with other aspects of a situation. 不協調; 不适宜; 不相稱
• She smiled at the incongruity of the question.
她面對這樣突兀的問題露出了微笑。
incongruity的形容詞 incongruous 也很常用。
Someone or something that is incongruous seems strange when considered together with other aspects of a situation. 不協調的
• She was small and fragile and looked incongruous in an army uniform.
她人瘦小,穿上軍裝顯得很不協調。
