inaugural icon awards
...创立的楷模奖


Explanation:
我找到的原文是,*** received one of ***’s inaugural Icon Awards for using *** solutions to integrate the plant life cycle environment for its next generation reactor design.

因为原文中Icon Awards 是大写,所以也可以不译,直接译为 ***创立的Icon Awards。

FYI

我发现 icon award 在网上看到有译作“偶像奖”的。

【简明英汉词典】
Icon
One who is the object of great attention and devotion; an idol
偶像:成为人们注意和崇拜对象的人物;偶像

这里参考上下文,引申意译为“楷模”。

关于inaugural的译法,【美国传统词典】给出的解释是:
inaugural
adj.
Initial; first
创始的;最早的

故这里引申译为“创立的”或“设立的”。

Notes to answerer
Asker: icon award翻为楷模奖,为什么呢?icon好象和楷模不怎么粘边啊?另外inaugural有创立的意思吗?
