标题: 品味英语(Savor English)---地道表达集中营 [打印本页]

作者: onlyone 时间: 2006-4-25 08:13 标题: 品味英语(Savor English)---地道表达集中营

每天积累一点地道的用法,无论对写作还是阅读理解,都是很有帮助的.

还是我来起头, 大家可以尽量补充,把自己看到的学到的地道的表达放进来!

希望大家积极参与!

先说3个例句是自己造的,有任何问题望大家给予及时指正)

1,良性循环: a positive feedback loop // 同样:恶性循环: a negative feedback loop

例句: This constructive proposal may reinforce the reputation of this private firm in a positive feedback loop .

2,棘手的问题: 介绍几种换词(以下都是我从文摘上积累出来的,不会有问题啦)

tough issue // thorny problem// tricky matter // uncomfortable issue // the most daunting problem

3,晚期肿瘤: 这里的晚期地道的用法是: advanced

如: 晚期肾癌: advanced kidney cancer // advanced cases of head and neck cancer // tumor

主要在阅读时不要把advanced误解为"先进的, 超前的,高深的"意思.

我也来支持一下,例句也是自造，有问题请指正。谢谢

1.香芋冰激凌球 "taro scoop" not"ball"

eg.I prefer taro scoop rather than vanilla scoop,because its color is so inviting.

inving取“诱人”的意思，也可以用abstractive等等

2.干爹 sugar daddy 同理，干妈 sugar mummye.

eg.I own my oversea study to my sugar daddy.

3.是“无限风光在险峰”的一个翻译

The submitted power of breathtaking view only exists in the most perilous summit.

主要因为用了动态表达而且词语比较新鲜

关于动态表达，例如extend the length of....//rise the height of....//就比常用的静态表达as long as //as high as要生动而且地道

希望大家多多赐教

3.是“无限风光在险峰”的一个翻译

The submitted power of breathtaking view only exists in the most perilous summit.

这个句子里面的breathtaking用的很棒!

breathtaking= staggering = prodigious 惊人的,巨大的(场面,变化...)

2.干爹 sugar daddy 同理，干妈 sugar mummye.

eg.I own my oversea study to my sugar daddy

一个错误,应该是: owe ... to ..: 由于,因为...

表达一种观点盛行, 大家首先想到的是什么呢?

an attitude universally habored by the youth...

或是: it is universally acknowledged that..

来看个精彩的: the attitude goes global

例句: When that attitude goes global, the human beings may be able look back on their former garbage-producing ways as a forgiveable error of their youth.

再说几个

1.“竭尽全力” 一般说try my best, do my best.试试exert oneself,很不错的

2.面对困难除了confront the difficulty,我们还可以说face the music 想想要上台了，音乐响起了，是不是再害怕也要上去？很形象吧

3.He let his wife settle this question without his meeting it head on.

蓝色部分是＂碰钉子＂的意思．
