艾墨本 Posted October 8, 2018 at 03:14 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 03:14 AM The term gets used so frequently in Chinese and directly translating it as leaders often seems inappropriate. What other words do you use for 领导? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
陳德聰 Posted October 8, 2018 at 05:05 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 05:05 AM How liberal are we getting cause I’ve gone as far as “the executives” and “the management” when “the leadership” didn’t fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
艾墨本 Posted October 8, 2018 at 06:54 AM Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 06:54 AM Very liberal. That’s what I’m looking for. Management is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yueni Posted October 8, 2018 at 09:47 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 09:47 AM I translate based on context. So if it's 公司领导 then it would be management, if it's 团队领导 or 部门领导 it could be the team leads or department head. I basically replace 领导 with the appropriate English-equivalent leadership position in question, based on context. Sometimes, just even "the bosses" or "the boss" works as well. It really all just comes down to context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted October 8, 2018 at 10:06 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 10:06 AM I quite often use chiefs or heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
艾墨本 Posted October 8, 2018 at 11:24 AM Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 11:24 AM What about when it is a list like “领导们、老师们、学生们” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted October 8, 2018 at 11:40 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 11:40 AM From context, it's a school and so perhaps administrators / principals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsima Posted October 8, 2018 at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 01:04 PM In the above context might 領導們 refer to the school governers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
