翻譯點(diǎn)津:“泡湯”的英語(yǔ)表達! 句子:傾盆大雨淹沒(méi)街道,許多汽車(chē)泡湯了。
誤譯:The torrents of rain flooded the street, and many cars drowned。 正譯:The torrents of rain flooded the street, and many cars were drowned。 解釋?zhuān)涸谶@里,“泡湯”有“被水淹沒(méi)”的意思。to drown 的意思是to complete cover sth in water,即“淹沒(méi)”,為及物動(dòng)詞?!捌?chē)泡湯”,就是“汽車(chē)被淹沒(méi)”,應該用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。 “泡湯”的第一個(gè)意思是“浸泡在湯里”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為 to be immersed in soup。例如: 1.我認為吃米飯泡湯對胃不好。I don't think that eating the rice immersed in soup does any good to the stomach. “泡湯”的第二個(gè)意思是“被水淹沒(méi)”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為 to be drowned, to be immersed in water.例如: 2. 這場(chǎng)傾盆大雨過(guò)后,至少有20輛汽車(chē)在被水淹的地下車(chē)庫泡湯了。After the heavy rainfall, at least 20 cars were immersed in water in the flooded underground car park. “泡湯”的 第三個(gè)意思是“在溫泉里沐浴或洗浴”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為 to bathe in a hot spring.例如: 3. 冬天,他喜歡到溫泉泡湯。In winter, he enjoys bathing in a hot spring. “泡湯”的 第四個(gè)意思是“怠工”或“磨洋工”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為 to dawdle, to loiter.例如: 4. 現在干活泡湯的吃不開(kāi)了。Those who dawdle over their work have now become unpopular. “泡湯”的 第五個(gè)意思是“落空”。英語(yǔ)可以譯為to come to nothing, to dash to pieces,to fall through.例如: 5. 由于管理不善,他的投資全部泡湯了。As a result of bad management, his investment came to nothing at all. 6. 由于干旱歉收,村民豐收的希望泡湯了。Due to the crop failure caused by drought, the villages' hope for good harvest dashed to pieces. |
