世行表述为“Minority Investors”，我们果断放弃了“Medium and Small-sized Investors”的表述。另外，中文多次出现“流程、环节、程序”等字眼，统一为世行评估所用的“procedure”。“兜底条款”一词，从初译的“bottom-line clauses”，改为“miscellaneous provisions”更符合国际惯例。又如，第4条有“政府主要负责人”一词，在初译公布后，有部门建议，直接翻译成市长和区长，我们觉得不妥，因为有时候会出现代市长或者代区长，甚至常务副市长、常务副区长主持工作的情况，而且政府还包括镇一级的政府，故保持译为“The main person in charge of the government”，国外也有此种译法。
第二，适度增减字段，优化语意理解。例如，第1条 “……根据《优化营商环境条例》等法律、行政法规……”经再三斟酌，译为“根据国务院《优化营商环境条例》等法律、行政法规……”（in accordance with the Regulations on Optimizing Doing Business Environment issued by the State Counciland other laws and administrative regulations.”如果不加“国务院”这个字段以示区别，外国市场主体估计弄不明白，怎么会根据同名的条例来制定条例？再如，第40条 货物口岸监管，从字面来看，有两种意思：其一，监管口岸的货物；其二，既监管口岸的货物，又监管口岸（例如，人员及设施）本身。后与相关部门沟通，确认是前者，故缩减了字义，译为Cargo Supervision。还有，第5条“充分运用国家政策资源……”，原来直译为“fully utilize national policy resources”，后觉得“资源”一词无须译出，故删除了“resources”。
第三，清晰表述改革，尊重读者体验。这部条例充满了改革气息，有很多新的词汇，例如，一网通办、一网通、单一窗口、证照分离、一业一证、网格管理、双随机一公开、告知承诺……要逐一译成明白晓畅的英语，委实并不容易。在翻译时，我们力求语意明晰，使读者无须借助其他材料，也能明白其意。例如，第1条有“放管服”的表述，法条用的是简称，而这项改革的全称是“简政放权，放管结合，优化服务”。2017年政府工作报告中，对“放”一字的翻译是“delegating powers”，意思是权力下放。我们觉得，似乎用decentralize比较好，于是将“放管服”三字译成“streamlining administration and decentralizing powers, combining decentralization with appropriate control, and optimizing services”。例如，“简易注销”，国家采取直译方式，译为simplified deregistration，外国人不好理解，我们保持意译，expedited deregistration，即快速注销，既体现营商环境改革精神，也便于理解。
凡此种种，不一而足。附专业词汇对照表，供需者参考！
