例2
这方面也有国际经验嘛。好多国家都是这个样子，十年就跳出来了。（DⅢ368）

例6
成功的经验鼓励了我们，增加了我们的信心。（DⅢ256）
Our successes have inspired us and strengthened our confidence. (251)
例1和我的想法一样，译文也用了experience一词。但下面几例用了follow the example/what they have done/what we have accomplished/precedent等译法。你是不是觉得这样译比较具体，和句子结合得更紧，因此也更通顺？例6中“经验”二字没有译，似乎并不影响意思的表达。
例7

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. (370)

例9

Another question is training people for both military and civilian jobs, which is also in the general interest…. The army has trained a large number of personnel with special skills, and transferring some of them to the civilian sector would provide support for local communities. (106)
例22
还有一个问题，发现和使用人才的问题。的确是人才难得啊。（DⅢ369）
Another problem is how to find and use professionally trained people. They are really hard to come by. (357)
You come from grass-roots units. When you worked there you knew or came into contact with all kinds of people, both at your own level and at other levels. If you think some of them are talented, even if they have certain weaknesses, you should not hesitate to employ them. (357)

People may have different opinions about someone; complete agreement is not possible. But if a person has some weaknesses, we can point them out to him and meantime let him work. On the whole, we have not paid much attention to using capable people. (357)
例28
我建议中央总结一下用人的问题，尊重人才，广开进贤之路。（DⅢ369）

例29

We Chinese should bestir ourselves. The mainland has developed a solid economic foundation. Besides, we have tens of millions of overseas compatriots, and they want to see China grow strong and prosperous. We are unique in that respect. (345)
“中国人”一词译作we Chinese，听起来亲切。另外请注意，“在世界上”没有译。这不是漏译。当中国人说We are unique时，“在世界上”的意思已包含在内，若再加上in the world，就显得多余了。
例33
问题的核心是祖国的统一。和平统一已成为国共两党的共同语言。（DⅢ30）
The most important issue is the reunification of the motherland. Peaceful reunification has become the common aim of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. (40)

例35

例33“问题的核心”没有译作the crux of the matter，而译作the most important issue，“共同语言”译作the common aim。例34“大家”译作both sides。例35说的是中外经济合作问题，将“历史”一词译作time。你有没有觉得这几处译文都比原文用词来得具体，因此也与上下文结合得更紧密。另外，你注意到了没有，例34“一国两制”在原文中出现两次，而译文不重复，第二次译作that principle。这个问题以后也还要讨论。
