Практикум по синхронному переводу с русского языка на английский

Комментарии:
1) содержавшаяся... рекомендация — if the interpreter does not have a text, it will be difficult for him to wait until the noun рекомендация shows up before starting the sentence. As soon as you hear a participle as the first word of the sentence in this type of clause, you can say
"Something/that/which... was contained in the Platform of Action..." and
then, when the noun finally appears — рекомендация — you can insert before it "that is/namely/I mean/I am referring to/the recommendation."
2) в кратчайшие сроки — the idea is "as soon as possible,"
"in the immediate future." Don't try to translate сроки as "time period"
or "dates" — this will only complicate the sentence.

3. 
   была положительно воспринята — get away from literal translation
   here: "positively" and "perceived" do not sound idiomatic. "Was
   approved by" is what is meant.
   

3. 
   утвержденная... концепция — this is the same kind of participial
   construction as those described above. The participle and the noun it
   modifies are fairly close to each other, but the interpreter who does not
   want to wait for the noun can begin the sentence with "That which was
   adopted... namely, the Concept..."
   

3. 
   принятый... национальный план действий — a similar construction,
   though here a literal translation would work: "Adopted in August 1996, the
   national plan of action to improve the status of women... has in turn
   expanded and supplemented..." "Action" here sounds better in the
   singular, as "plan of action" is an accepted cliche, though theoretically
   "plan of actions" would do.
