请教高人一句话的意思Equipment availability？ 1. 俺的感觉：account for就像subject to一样，是许多盖德朋友常常感到迷惑的英语单词。所以希望俺以下的讨论可以帮助大家。 2. 咱们先来看看英文词典是什么解释的。俺没有用中文词典，丝毫不是看不起中文词典，而是认为英文词典更容易帮助我们在英语的环境下来理解英语单词的原意。就像俺要学北京话，俺当然不会请一个上海或者广东人来教俺，俺更喜欢到北京胡同里找个老北京来说话儿。 http:///browse/account+for?o=100074 account for 1. be the determining factor in; cause. for example, the heat wave accounts for all this food spoilage, or icy roads account for the increase in accidents. 2. explain or justify , as in jane was upset because her son couldn't account for the three hours between his last class and his arrival at home. both of these related usages are derived from the literal meaning of the phrase, that is, "make a reckoning of an account." [second half of 1700s] 3. 回到楼主这段英文： equipment availability for the fluid bed reactors, quench and offgas recovery units, and the purification units is 90%, to account for normal downtime required for maintenance and statutory inspections. 根据以上2对account for的第一解释，俺认为这里的90％ 的equipment availability 也就是后面normal downtime 的the determining factor （决定因素）或者 the cause（原因）。 4. 俺的翻译： equipment availability for the fluid bed reactors, quench and offgas recovery units, and the purification units is 90%, to account for normal downtime required for maintenance and statutory inspections. 维保和法定检查所需的正常停工时间 根据 流化床反应器、急冷及尾气回收单元和精制单元等设备的可用率为90% 而定。 查看更多
