两个英译中的问题,请帮我看一下,谢谢大家~
1.Japanese delegation accuses that: It's a huge miscalculation for the Australian minister to step straight off the plane and come here to this meeting with fresh demands when the rest of the IWC(International Whaling Commission) is trying to come up with an 11th hour solution to save it from collapse.
"an 11th hour solution"应该怎么理解才对呢?
是指IWC的成员国已经讨论了11个小时还没有结果,还是指IWC的成员国在第11个小时将达成一致呢?
***************************分割线*************************
2.It's a tough category this time around.
这句话的中文翻译是不是“此次,在该奖项上竞争激烈。”? 这个"around"怎么理解比较好呢?还是"this time around"有一个专门的意思?
希望大家不吝赐教,多谢~~~mOm

"an 11th hour solution" 跟11小时没有任何关系。 “11th hour" 是个隐喻,是指时间快到了 或 快没时间。 比如,某个公司要在月底要把某个任务做完,很早就开始了 可是因为某些原因/障碍,29日才完成 - completed in the 11th hour.
this time around = 这次 / 此次 / 这一轮 (都指曾经做过 / 试过)
比如,A和B每个月要做某件事,以前都是根据A的指导去完成 可是B对每次的结果不满意,
B: this time, we'll do it my way 或者 We'll do it my way this time around
