circle sentenceとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The foreign language document includes a statement, "first circle is drilled through the substrate at 20% of the desired diameter for the hole, and another circle is then drilled at 30% of the full diameter. "A person skilled in the art would be able to recognize that the "first circle" and "another circle" are drilled with the same center in succession in order to form a single hole of accurate size, in view of the context of the descriptions in the foreign language document and the disclosed technological details. Accordingly, the above sentence should be translated as "first circle is drilled through the substrate at 20% of the desired diameter for the hole, and in succession, the circle is additionally drilled up to 30% of the full diameter" (in Japanese). However, a translator misunderstood that the 20%-diameter hole and the 30%-diameter hole were to be separately formed at different positions, and mistranslated the sentence as "first circle at 20% of the desired diameter is drilled through the substrate, and a different circle at 30% of the desired diameter is drilled" (in Japanese).発音を聞く 例文帳に追加

外国語書面中のfirst circle is drilled through the substrate at 20％ of the desired diameter for the hole, and another circle is then drilled at 30％ of the full diameterとの記載に対し、当業者であれば外国語書面中の他の個所の記載や前後の文脈、技術内容から見てfirst circleとanother circleとは正確な大きさの穴を形成するために同じ場所に連続して開けられるものであることが認識でき、「基板に対し、最初に所望の直径の20％の穴を開け、続いて直径の30％の穴を開ける。」と翻訳すべきところ、20％の穴と30％の穴は、別な場所に形成されるものと誤解して「基板に対し、所望の直径の20％の第一の穴を形成し、次に直径の30％の別の穴を開ける。」と誤訳している場合。 - 特許庁
