关;附属
  in accordance with/to 与……一致,与……协调
  take action 采取行动
  free of 无……的;免费的
  
  Notes
  1. Local building codes and/or lack of time or personnel in engineering
  division may dictate……
  当地的建筑规范和/或者工程部缺少时间和人手也许要求……
  2. The use of contractors is often dictated by applicable codes and by
  the fact that the engineering staff frequently has insufficient time and
  personnel to handle such work while attending to regular repair and maintenance.
  由that引导的从句作fact的同位语,对其作进一步的解释。例如:
  We all know the fact that they have landed on the moon.
  While 引导的时间状语,该句省略了主语the engineering staff.例如:
  He was so tired that he fell asleep while reading the newspaper.
  3. a tremendous amount of electrical equipment 大量的电气设备
  4. every blown fuse 每根烧坏的保险丝
  5. Should a fuse continue to burn out, the short circuit must be located
  and repaired.
  should a fuse…是一个倒装句,should置于句首,此句型实际上省略了连词if,该从句可译为:如果保险丝不断烧坏。
  例如:
  Should anyone phone, tell them I’m in conference.
  6. …but consider the woes of an engineer whose property may be 50 to 100
  years old who must contend with obsolete equipment wiring.
  此句中有两个定语从句,一个是由关系代词whose引导的从句,whose在定语从句中充当定语,相当于the property of whom,
  表示所属关系。例如:
  This is a book whose content (the content of which) have caused a great
  deal of discussion.
  另一个定语从句由关系代词who引导,who在定语从句中作主语,其先行词为engineer.
  7. However, many properties have an emergency generator ready in case the
  regular source fails.
  Have an emergency generator ready 有一台救急的发电机备用
  in case 作连词,引导状语从句,意为“万一……的话,在……的情况下”。例如:
  In case anything important happens, please call me up. 如果有要事发生,请给我打电话。
  8. …and usually costs more than power from a public utility.
  通常比从公用机构送来的电要贵得多。
  9. exterior and interior facilities 户内与户外的设施
  10.…including electrical, plumbing, heating…and other maintenance work
  necessary to maintain the property….
  Necessary to maintain…作work的定语,该短语可译为:有必要使物业保持完好与高效的其他维修工作……。
  11. Schedule all work to be done on a daily basis at a minimum of inconvenience
  to tenants.要尽量减少租户的不便,安排好每日要做的工作。
  to be done…动词不定式作定语,表示将要做的事,因为修饰的名词是动作接受者,所以不定式用被动语态形式。例如:
  That will be the only things to be done by the children.这是孩子们目前可做的唯一的事情。

  物业管理英语第十一讲Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning
  In many parts of the U.S. and the world, the engineering staff must keep
  the property heated for a good part of the year. In the winter, this means
  simply maintaining a comfortable, even temperature. During spring and fall,
  however, it is desirable to take off the chill without overheating the
  building - no small task if the heat is manually controlled.
  Hot water heating systems are still used in some properties, but steam
  systems are more common. While many properties purchase their steam from
  public utilities, others operate their own boilers. Coal-stoked boilers
  are dirty. Gas or oil burners are clean, but they require additional employees.
  Buying steam reduces the number of employees needed to maintain the boilers.
  So the engineering crew must have the technical knowledge and skill to
  handle them.
  Maintaining a heating plant may appear to be simple routine work, but,
  in reality, it requires highly technical knowledge. Burners must be maintained
  and repaired, thermostats must be kept in good working order, radiators
  and valves need attention. New types of controls are being developed that
  will bring heating closer to an automatic operation, but the automated
  repair and maintenance engineer just does not exist and probably never
  will.
  Another responsibility of the engineering division is the ventilation and
  air conditioning system. Regular changes of air are required, and it takes
  machinery to provide this. The public today demands air conditioning in
  all first-class properties. A central system provides a central point for
  maintenance and repair.
  Computer and other electronic devices called energy management system (EMS)
  have been developed to control peak power demand; regulate the heating,
  ventilating, and air conditioning throughout the building as needed; and
  control every aspect of energy usage in the operation .
  These systems are all technically very complex and require a knowledgeable
  and experienced staff to operate and maintain underscores the need for
  better training and education of the engineering staff.
  
  Useful Expressions
  take off 拿走,取消
  in reality 实际上,事实上
  close to 接近于,几乎
  
  Notes
  1. …the engineering staff must keep the property heated for a good part
  of the year.
  过去分词heated在句子中作宾语补足语,因为是人物业供暖,有被动的意思,故用过去分词。例如:
  They have made rules to keep the property cleaned.
  for a good part of the year可译为:一年的大部分时间
  good意为“颇,相当的”。例如:
  It will take me a good five hours to write such an article.写这样一篇文章足足要花五个小时。
  2. …it is desirable to take off the chill without overheating the building
  - no small task if the heat is manually controlled. no small task对前句中的to
  take off the chill…作进一步解释。意为“这可不是小任务”。No置于名词或形容词之前,意为“一点也不是,绝不是”。例如:
  He is no gentleman.他根本不是个绅士。
  She left her niece no small fortune.她留给侄女一笔庞大的遗产。
  3. coal-stoked boiler燃煤锅炉
  4. New types of controls are being developed that will bring heating closer
  to an automatic operation…
  此句中含有一个定语从句that will bring heating…,修饰new types of controls,由于修辞的需要,将定语从句后置,可避免头重脚轻。例如:
  New houses will be built that can be used to settle refuges.
  5. but the automated repair and maintenance engineer just does not exist
  and probably never will.
  and后的并列成份maintenance与前面的repair修饰的是同一个主语engineer, will后省略了谓语动词exist,由于该部分是省略形式,其副词never就放在了助动词will的前面。
  6. control peak power demand控制高峰时期的用电需求
  7. regulate the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning throughout the
  building as needed….
  在必要时调节整栋建筑的供暖,通风以及空调的使用。as作连词,引导状语从句,此处省略了主语和系动词。

  物业管理英语第十二讲General Maintenance and Repair
  
  When it becomes necessary to break through walls in order to make plumbing
  or electrical repairs, engineers make the subsequent repairs. The engineers
  also handle small welding jobs and maintain door hinges and locks. Engineering
  staff may also be involved in a wide rang of miscellaneous tasks such as
  window replacement, painting, carpet installation and so forth. An outside
  firm is usually contracted for the maintenance, repair, and inspection
  of major equipment such as elevators.
  Maintaining a plumbing system is no small job. Many American communities
  often have a large plumbing system. In addition to the circulating hot
  water system, properties have a separate and complete cold water system.
  A property owner without either hot or cold water wastes no time making
  this fact known, and engineers must remedy the situation immediately. Faucet
  are bound to wear out, and many hours are spent replacing them. Drains
  can become stopped in the course of everyday use, or property owners may
  discard objects that plug up sinks or bathtubs. On upper floors, plugged
  rains may cause flooding. Even minor flooding can cause extensive damage.
  The engineering division also frequently receives calls about toilets.
  Basic tools can generally be used to resolve problems, but, in serious
  cases, the toilet may have to be removed to let the plumber locate the
  source of difficulty. Water - closet valves must be frequently checked
  and kept in good working order to avoid noises.
  Some plumbing work can be rather messy. One example is cleaning the kitchen
  grease traps and the basement grease line. Chemicals can help keep these
  lines open, but, occasionally, cleaning must still be done manually. An
  additional problem for engineers is the fact that the original plumbing
  in most properties probably was not intended for all the use it now gets.
  Properties canmodernize systems gradually, but few proferties can undertake
  such a job in a short period of time.
  
  A Sample Informing Tenants of Electricity Supply Cut-off
  Dear tenants:
  Please note that owing to the carrying out of repair work to the electricity
  supply system, lift service and public lighting of Block Two and Four will
  be suspended from 9 to 20, Nov. 15th.
  However, emergency electricity supply will be provided to staircases and
  corridors. Should you have any queries, please contact the Manager Office
  on 87675274 (telephone number).
  We apologize for any inconvenience that may be caused.
  Yours sincerely
  Useful Expression
  break through 冲破、突破、冲垮
  be involved in 卷入、涉及
  such as 比如
  so forth 等等
  in addition to除了……之外(还有)
  be bound to 一定,注定
  wear out用坏;耗损,磨损
  in the course of在……期间
  plug up堵塞
  owing to 由于,因为
  
  Notes
  1. When it becomes necessary to break through walls in order to make plumbing
  or electrical repairs….
  此句中,动词不定式to break through walls 是真正主语,it 是形式主语。该句可译为:为了进行管道和电力的维修,必要时要穿墙破壁。
  2. Engineering staff may also be involved in a wide range of miscellaneous
  tasks such as window replacement…, and so forth.
  a wide range of 意为“大范围的”。例如:
  The student has a very wide range of interest.
  那个学生的兴趣非常广泛。
  such as 意为“比如,例如”,在as后接名词。例如:
  Sara has read many English novels such as Oliver Twist, Pride and Prejudice,
  and Jane Eyre.莎拉读过许多英语小说,例如:《雾都孤儿》、《傲慢与偏见》、《简·爱》。
