Corrosion is an electrochemical process by which a metal, such as mild steel, returns to its natural state, such as iron oxide or rust.
[原译]腐蚀是一种电化的过程,像低碳钢一类的金属,因腐蚀而回复到自然状态,如氧化铁,即铁锈。(译巧) 请分析 such as 在这里的含义。
句中的 a metal 是泛指一切金属或合金, such as a mild steel 是举例性同位语。原译者把 such as... 理解为限制性定语, 从而把 a metal, such as... 译为“像……一类的金属”, 大大地缩小了“金属”这一概念的外延。
[试译]腐蚀是金属(例如低碳钢)返回其天然状态(例如氧化铁即铁锈)的电化学过程。such as/as such
