Translation of "logistics"

The word "logistics" is often encountered in some official documents of translation companies. The corresponding word found in the dictionary is logistics, but logistics mostly refers to "logistics work". Oxford Dictionary: ~?(of sth) the practical organization that is needed to make

a complicated plan successful when a lot of people and equipment is involved logistics; logistics; organizational work the logistics of moving the company to a new building The organizational work that needs to be done in the process of moving the company to a new building So logistics is actually a

What a practical organization does is make a complicated plan successful, involving many people and equipment.

There seems to be no "logistics" involved.

This is another case where the corresponding words are not equivalent, and there are quite a lot of them.

It is better to translate it into distribution or delivery, which at least translates the meaning of logistics distribution and delivery.

But I still feel a little dissatisfied and not authentic enough.

I have searched all over the dictionary and example sentences, but I still can’t find a satisfactory version. Today I suddenly thought, why not search for the profiles of foreign logistics companies!

Yes, look at the explanation on Fedex Wikipedia: FedEx Corporation is an American global courier delivery services company headquartered in... When you see the new word courier (learn it!), Oxford Dictionary explains it as: “a person or company whose job is to

take packages or important papers somewhere” Since it is an introduction to the logistics company, of course you can use it with confidence.

"Logistics" is translated as: courier delivery services, which is more appropriate than logistics, distribution, and delivery.

But it is not a one-size-fits-all model. You have to choose specific words according to the context. For example, sometimes it may be translated as shipping, although the shipping dictionary does not say it is logistics.

My experience is that if you want to translate authentically, you need to accumulate a lot of target language. Just looking up the dictionary is not enough.
