宮帷政治 Non-transparent politics Explanation: 宮帷 = 宮殿里的圍幕。亦借指 王宮。 北周 庾信 《周太子太保步陸逞神道碑》:「宮帷定策,殿柱書名。」《宋史·樂志十四》:「宮帷既敞,協氣感通。皇儀親展,壽祉無窮。」 http://www.twword.com/wiki/宮帷 宮帷秘聞 = palace gossips 宮帷鬥爭 = palace power struggle “宮帷政治” 卻不能譯成 palace politics 因為原文語境應該是講現代一些政治生態。 宮帷政治 = 一切決定皆在 “宮廷” 內進行,等於黑箱作業、缺乏甚至沒有透明度、不受社會大眾或輿論監管的政治權力運作。 由於缺乏透明度,所以原文下句説,“所以前景不太明朗。” 建議譯成 Non-transparent politics,相信英語人才看得明白。 http://people.hss.caltech.edu/~andrea/transparency.pdf 供參考。 Example sentence(s):
