Tech/Engineering - 機械工学 | | 日本語の用語またはフレーズ いぢりこわし | Has anyone seen this term before?
The real problem I am having is with "いぢり”
The doc. is related to merits/demerits of preventive and predictive maintenance.
Here is a sample of the context:
どうしても作業者のミスや修理・復元時の忘れ事故などが完全には避けられずトラブルとなる。いわゆる「いぢりこわし」が発生する。 |
| | | 英語訳botch-ups / mess-ups / flub-ups | 説明：
いわゆる「いぢりこわし」が発生する。 = This is when what is known as "botch-ups" occur. ~or~ Those so-called "botch-ups" occur.
The Japanese word "いぢりこわし" has a colloquial or somewhat casual, slangy feel to it.
"Botch-ups" , "mess-ups" and "flub-ups" also have that colloquial casual, slangy feel.
The sentence before it does not exactly imply "breakage" so I think "botch-ups" can work for a variety of problems that occur with the workers.
弄る＝touch, tamper with, play with (Nelson's J-E Character Dictionary) In this case, the verb "tamper" fits quite well in combination with "breakage" creating "botch-ups." |

4時間 自信度： | breaking while trying to repair
説明：
Of course, there is no simple equivalent for this in English, but the meaning of this is that someone who is not good at handling and/or repairing/maintaining some machine or some such item breaks it or ruins it instead of setting right.
Perhaps the best way is to put this in a more polite form instead of the actually implied meaning which would hurt the pride of an operator!

21時間 自信度： | one of the routine "mishandling problems" occurs
説明：
I think this translation is closer to the context.
Since such and such problems cannot be avoided,
and since all the problems are related to one or another form of 'mishandling', I would opt for this rendering.
