English term

maintain

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering Computers: Software
Increasingly, colleges keep residential networks isolated from research networks, shunt unpatched mobile systems onto virtual LANs until they are scanned and cleaned, and maintain detailed policies on how to respond to a virus outbreak.
现在,越来越多的大学把寄宿生使用的网络与研究用的网络隔离开来;把没打补丁的移动系统转移到虚拟局域网上,直到扫描、清理完毕;坚持采用(??)应对病毒爆发的详细策略。

No, I don't think you can. The policies are (specifically) policies on how to respond to a virus outbreak. 'maintain' means 'keep up to date/keep current'

We need to get away from the word-level word-by-word translation here. The sentence means, quite simply, that the university has a policy for virus attacks. There are probably fancier words that could be used in Chinese, but my point in posting this answer is just to point out that we have to translate the MEANING, not necessarily each individual word.

Thanks!
neutral chica nueva : This is one approach...I prefer word-for-word accuracy myself, otherwise it is paraphrase and not translation (isn't it?)

There is accuracy in meaning, which is above simple one-to-one correspondence in my view. If it were all about matching words from different languages, machine translation would put us all out of business! (Fortunately, I think we are safe!!) :-)

agree Terry Thatcher Waltz, Ph.D. : I think though that "maintain" here just means "continually have". Plus, the author of this article has seemed rather bombastic all the way through (judging from the many other questions from this piece). Wouldn't worry too much about words with him!
