Subsidiary or Child Companies
A subsidiary company is a business owned by a parent company. Subsidiary
companies are separate legal entities created by the parent company or
another party. Subsidiaries are not divisions of the parent company –
divisions are incorporated into the parent company and not legally separate.
A subsidiary company is sometimes referred to as a daughter or child company
to the parent or holding company. A subsidiary company can have controlling
interests in its own set of subsidiary companies.
In general, companies become subsidiaries when another entity purchases 51
percent of their stock, thereby gaining voting and decision making control.
Wholly-owned subsidiaries are 100 percent owned by the parent company. An
example would be the Disney Channel, which is wholly owned by The Disney
Corporation.

: 如题
: 前几天在翻译网付费找了一位英文母语的外国人帮忙翻译一些商务用的句子
: （对方简历是加拿大人）
: 其中有个单字是子公司
: 他翻成child company
: 可是我上网查都说这个说法是错的
: 要用subsidiary
: （顿时怀疑他是不是丢google翻译再修改之类的...）
: 然后我就问他说这个单字没译错吗？
: 他就说美国经常用child company这用法
: 另外找了一篇英文网页给我，上面就写说child company是比subsidiary更有独立性、自主性的子公司之类的
: 我英文不是很好，才会找人帮忙翻译...
: 我也问了英文系的朋友，他说没听过child company这用法
: 想请问大家真的有child company这用法吗？
: 谢谢
