我認為雙語版在段落層級上保持平衡是相當標準的做法。如果專案設定為節樣式(每節都是新段落——這可以在變更檔案中完成),那麼每節都可以對應。
這是選擇雙語版文本時的一個考量因素——段落是否對應。如果兩者差異很大,可能會讓讀者疑問原因為何。文本中的其他格式,如章節標題、詩歌等,也是如此。
另一個考量因素(可能更重要)是文本之間的貼近程度。許多閱讀英文的人喜歡比較有差異的文本(例如 NASB / NLT),但對許多人來說,看到與主要語言文本顯著不同的文本可能會造成問題,並引發對翻譯有效性的懷疑。
通常,我會建議想要或需要製作雙語版的團隊使用匹配的文本,或調整其文本以匹配雙語版。這顯然不是一件小事,因為文本通常是經過刻意格式化的。
I believe it is pretty standard to have diglots balance at paragraph level. If a project is set up for verse style (each verse is a new paragraph - and this can be done in a change file) then each verse can match.
This is one consideration when choosing a diglot text - do the paragraphs match. If they are very different then it can raise questions for the reader as to why. The same would be true of other formats in the text like section heads, poetry, etc.
Another consideration (maybe more important) is how closely do the texts follow. Many of us who read English like to compare texts that differ (NASB / NLT for instance), but for many people seeing a text that differs significantly from a majority language text can be problematic and raise doubts as to the validity of the translation.
Generally I would advise teams that want/need to do diglot to use a text that matches or to adjust their text to match the diglot. This is obviously not a trivial matter since presumably the text has been formatted intentionally.
