I spent last week in Brighton interpreting during a training course on waste management. When you're interpreting, you need to make very quick choices to make sure the message is communicated efficiently between all the different participants, so when the debate turned to nimbyism (from NIMBY, Not In My Backyard, which describes opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development close to them), I chose to paraphrase instead of using the English acronym.
上周我在布莱顿为一场关于污染治理问题的会议做口译。大会口译的时候最重要的是在极短的时间内斟酌词语，好让与会者都明白发言人的意思。所以当发言者说到nimbyism（由NIMBY而来，Not In My Backyard的缩写，是对在自己家附近建设垃圾处理场表示抗议的宣传语）时，我避开了英文缩写词，而是解释了它的具体含义。

Waste management facilities are rarely welcome and clearly stimulate the imagination of people fighting them: try and see if you can work out what these acronyms mean.
没人喜欢看到垃圾处理设备或者场地就在自家门口，所以针对此人们创造出了不少有意思的口号和缩写：
