[交流] *** About the weekly translation #7 ***

每周英语翻译学习交流第七期—“译”气呵成
http://muchong.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2176547

英文:
The Chinese themselves were bitterly divided over how to response to the Western inroads, whether to reach back to Chinese isolation or reach out to Western technology in the hope of gaining sufficient strength to repel the foreigners. But even those who argued for adoption of Western technology saw Western ways as a corrupting, unwelcome influence.
(提供)参考答案:
如何对待西方的入侵,是恢复闭关自守还是吸收西方技术以期获取赶走外国人的足够力量,在中国人内部发生了严重的分歧。但是,即使主张采用西方技术的人,也把西方方式看做是一种腐朽的、不受欢迎的影响。

==================================================

Now let’s take a look of the Chinese translation of the first sentence: “如何对待。。。入侵,是。。。闭关自守还是。。。”

Do you think it is logical? How could the reaction to the military invasion be “reach back to isolation”? How could it be done? If you are invaded by another country, then there are only two results: you win the war, or you lost the war, that means you lost the country. How could you just “reach back to isolation”? No way.

So the question is: Does the word "inroad" in the first English sentence really means "入侵"? If anybody can supply the original article of the English version, we will be more clear about that. Thank you very much.

Well, I have to say that everybody should know what's the normal meaning of the word "inroad", but the point is what's the exact or appropriate meaning of it in that particular sentence.

那第一句里的“inroad” 在这里还是解作“入侵”吗?
