“二00二”式车牌怎么说？
这个问题来自翻译擂台赛9月一期。
http://language.chinadaily.com.c ... ml?issue=2007090909
北京市人民政府公告
一、本市核发号牌机动车的交通管理措施
（一）对本市核发号牌机动车按车牌尾号实行单号单日行驶、双号双日行驶（单号为1、3、5、7、9，双号为2、4、6、8、0，下同），“
二00二”式号牌
机动车按双号管理。但以下机动车不受单、双号行驶措施限制：
获奖选手的译文：
Only vehicles with the plate number ending with the odd numeral are allowed on roads on odd days while vehicles with the plate number ending with the even numeral on even days. (Odd numerals include 1,3,5,7,9; even numerals include 2,4,6,8,0. This rule also applies to the following mentioned vehicles. ) Vehicles with
plate numbers written in Chinese characters such as “二00二”
are treated as even numbers. Vehicles which will be exempted from these restrictions are as follows:
主持人的参考译文：
1) Of all motor vehicles registered/licensed in Beijing, those with license plates ending in odd numbers shall be allowed on the road on odd-numbered days, and those with license plates ending in even numbers shall be allowed on the road on even-numbered days (“an odd number” includes 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9; and “an even number” includes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 0, similarly hereinafter). Those vehicles with
plates numbered “TWO ZERO ZERO TWO”
must follow the even-numbered management plan. However, exemptions to the odd/even measures will be made for the following vehicles:
全错了。看来他们不清楚这种号牌是什么样的。这就是那种车主可以自选字母和数字的车牌，很短命，出笼没多久就喊停了。现在街头偶尔能够见到。
所以，这种号牌既没有“二00二”字样，也没有“TWO ZERO ZERO TWO”字样。
这种号牌应该叫
the 2002-edition number plates

Also, you can say use "style" for weapons. For example:Type 38 rifle

翻译赛题、试题不应该包含太冷僻的内容，因为碰巧知道的才会翻译，不知道的基本上一定译错，跟英语能力和翻译水平毫不相干。

没错。有意思的是，出题目的人自己把自己难住了。这样的事情出现过不止一次。

似乎不合语法。可以改为："Odd numbers include 1,3,5,7 and 9"; or "An odd number refers to 1,3,5,7 or 9."

OK I'm not sure what's going on (remember i don't read Chinese) but the two paragraphs are substantially different.
In the first one, we're told all vehicles with Chinese characters will be treated as even numbers.
In the second one, we're told that vehicles with a specific number are treated as even. As this number happens to be even, this statement seems redundant. Furthermore, the second version makes no reference to Chinese (non-Arabic) numbered plates.

Your response proves both translations of 二00二式号牌 have failed to do the job.
The Chinese phrase refers to a type of number plates issued on a trial basis in 2002 (there are only a small number in use now), which may have six Arabic numerals, three letters plus three numerals, or three numerals plus three letters. In the last case it is impossible to decide whether a plate is even-numbered or odd-numbered; therefore all such plates are treated as even-numbered in the regulation.
The two translators didn't understand what “二00二”stands for (the year 2002) and mistook it as a number that appears on number plates (in reality the 2002-edition plates do not carry such a number).
