中式英语之鉴(4)
12.北京申奥成功的消息令我们热血沸腾。
[误] Beijing's winning the bid for the Olympics makes our blood boil. [正] Beijing's winning the bid for the Olympics makes us excited.
注:make one's blood boil 是指“激怒某人”,而非“使人激动”。英语中“使人激动”的说法除了 make
one excited,还有较为口语化的 make one's spine tingle。
13.别听他们胡说八道,根本就没那回事。
[误] Don't listen to their babbling. Nothing of the sort. [正] Don't be fooled by their babbling. Nothing of the sort.
注:原文中的“听”不能用 listen to 来
示,因为 listen to 指“听”的动作,而原文中的“别听”不是不让
他“听”,而是劝告他“不要听信”,因此,用 not be fooled by 才更达意。
14.我们这儿的人都觉得他有婚外恋。
[误] Pepple around here all feel that he has affairs outside his own marriage.
[正] Pepple around here all feel that he is leading a double life.
注:affair 本身就指“私通”或“暧昧关系”,当然是“婚外”的事,所以 outside one's own marriage 无疑
是多此一举了。英语中“有婚外恋”的地道说法应该是 lead a double life。
15.别看别人不把她当回事,在家里她可是父亲的掌上明珠。
[误] Although other people never take her seriousy, she is the pearl on her father's hand at home.
[正] Although other people never take her seriousy, she is the apple of her father's eye at home
