【一句话翻译】以色列情报工作失败的原因找到了

【汉译英 Chinese to English】

 

CNN - 根据与数十名现任和前任情报、军事和国会官员的对话，美国官员和立法者一致认为，以色列未能预测哈马斯从加沙发起的袭击主要是由于缺乏想象力。

 

Notes:

I found this news fascinating. I knew imagination is a catalyst for arts such as writing stories, songs, poems, designing fashions and architecture, etc., but I never thought it's also critical for intelligence work. A lack of it in intelligence analysis could be so deadly.

抛砖引玉 ——

Based on conversations with dozens of current and former officers of intelligence,  military and congress, US officials and lawmakers unanimously believe that Israel’s failure in anticipating attacks by Hamas from Gaza is primarily due to its lack of insight.

好棒！lack of insight. 用的好！学习了！

谢谢。但 insight 是不是真比 imagination 好，我不敢讲。

Have a try

CNN - According to a dialog with tens of current and former officer of intelligence, military and congressmen, US officers and legislators all agreed that lack of imagination is the reason why Israel failed to predict the attack by Hamas from Gaza.

英文流畅，清晰！学习了。：））

Excellent translation! Imagination was used in the original

An accurate and smooth translation! Dozens is normally used

to describe quantities in a few tens of.

Thanks a lot for pointing out!

Thanks for your encouragement.

Lack of imagination，what a satire：）

俺把这三个词中译成 “没想到”，而不是 “缺乏想象力”。给他们一点面子，呵呵。

光居安了，没思危

参考译文已加，也加到了原主帖里

交作业：

Per the conversation with a dozen of current and former intelligence agent，military and congressional officials, U.S. officials and legislators agreed that the lack of imagination is the reason why Israel failed to predict Hamas attacks from Gaza.

多谢！辛苦了。

对以色列军方来说，是一个讽刺。嗯，太居安了，缺少忧患意识

谢谢。先交作业，再学习。

You completed your homework with high marks:))

Conversation is better with a plural because there were multiple discussions. A dozen could be replaced with dozens to match 数十, but overall a job well done 

Wow you did the assignment excellently, and some extra work.

You're given bonus points:)). You even translated my comments. Great job! Thanks a lot for your participation.
