English term or phrase: a significant presence
These have given the Company a significant presence in the developing economies of the world, access to important undersea power and communication technologies, and exceptional management experience. While we are proud of our roots in the United States, today approximately 65% to 70% of our revenues are generated outside the country."
这些收购使公司在世界发展经济体中拥有大量的业务,获取重要的海底电力和通信技术,并取得特殊的管理经验。同时我们感到自豪的是,公司的总部在美国,而今天大约65%到70%的营销收入却来自于美国之外的国家。
这句话中a significant presence 翻译成大量业务可以吗?另外,ROOTS的翻译我不满意,觉得翻译成总部不够.请各位指教!
谢谢

重大的展示机会


Explanation:
重大的展示机会

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

presence: The state or fact of being present; current existence or occurrence.
根据字典里的这一解释,我觉得可能应该是使该公司有了许多展示自己的机会,让更多的其它公司以及客户了解自己。
另外,significant 的含义还有:Fairly large in amount or quantity。


根据上下文,我觉得也许翻译成“许多展示(自我的)机会”更符合语境一些。

关于roots,可否翻译为“公司在美国建立/公司建立于美国”?

原文里是没有“机会”这个词,是我根据上下文补充出来的。
另外,在lai an提供的链接中,asker问的是“market presence",这个短语在其上下文中翻译成“市场地位/份额”的确是对的。但这里没有market这个词,这里的presence也不一定只包括在maket方面的展示或表现,也可能包括企业文化等方面的展示或表现。

拥有大量的业务 is good. 还是最好不从市场来看. 从公司国内,海外业务来看. roots = 公司来源地吗?

都从公司看法来看. significant = not insignificant 无无足轻重的
