句子：他隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備為公益而犧牲個(gè)人利益。
誤譯：He is always ready to sacrifice his personal interest for public good.
正譯：He is always ready to sacrifice his personal interest for public welfare.
解釋：作為名詞，good 有兩個(gè)意思：一是好處、益處、利益；二是商品、產(chǎn)品等。public good 不是“公共利益”。public good 與 private good 相對(duì)立，前者是“公共物品”，后者是“私人物品”。如：

One of the best examples of a public good is national defense.
“公益”的意思是“公共利益，多指衛(wèi)生、救濟(jì)、慈善等群眾福利事業(yè)”?？勺g為 public welfare, public benefit, public interest, general welfare, common well-being, commonweal。如：
這位慈善家每年都籌集固定數(shù)額的基金用于公益。
The philanthropist annually raises a fixed amount of fund for public welfare.
“公益事業(yè)”可譯為public service, public welfare undertaking。如：
姚明還投身慈善工作和公益事業(yè)，成為一個(gè)著名的體育明星。
Yao Ming has also thrown himself into charity work and public service, and become a famous sports celebrity.
“公益廣告”可譯為 public service advertisement, public welfare ad。如：
廣告可以分為商業(yè)廣告和公益廣告。
Advertisements can be divided into commercial advertisements and public service advertisements.
“有公益精神的”或“熱心公益的”可譯為 public-spirited。如：
