汉译英常见错误 | 起始轴负荷不依赖于工作负荷

[译] 角面接触滚珠轴承(即向心止推滚珠轴承)的起始轴负荷不依赖于工作负荷。
[误] The initial axial load of angular-contact ball bearings is independent on the working load.

[正] The initial axial load of angular-contact ball bearings is independent of the working load.
[注] independent 之后要用介词 of, 表示"不依赖于",又如: If you have a bicycle, you are independent of trams and buses. 如果你有一辆自行车,你就可以不乘电车或公共汽车了。但 dependent 之后却要用介词 on (upon), 意为"依靠"、"依赖", 例如: A child is dependent on its parents. 小孩依靠父母。/Success is dependent on the results of this examination. 成功与否取决于这次检查的结果。
