【给“世界闲民委员会”的迟到回复】 三脚大鸟:不好意思,我之前的ID不用了,刚才用它登录查收过去的信息,无意中发现了你问我的问题。原文:他最成功的一次抓小偷的经历是在一个车库。译文:He experienced his greatest success in catching thieves in a garage.现为你解答如下(个人观点):1。不太贴切,如果把你的译文还原成英文,意思是”他在车库抓到小偷是他最成功的一次经历”,参照原文,明显有出入,2。即使不考虑原文,从严格的语法角度来说,你的译文也有小小问题,主要是success之后的部分不太符合语法规范,因为在“说话人向听话人表达当事人成功”这个概念和“当时人抓小偷”之间有时间先后差异,应该修正为“He experienced his greatest success in having caught thieves in a garage。”当然,后半句还有其它表达方式,比如:a. (He experienced his greatest success)during catching thieves in a garage。b. (He experienced his greatest success)catching thieves in a garage。3. 总体来说,你的译文本身是一个不错的句子,其实在我们学习英语的过程中,追求语法的绝对精准几乎是不可能的,英语母语者也很难做到。4。这就是我对你问题的一些个人观点,不知你是否满意,有问题可以继续和我探讨。5。之所有没有用短消息回复你,而是公开贴出来,是因为原文是我个人构思的,很多人都做了翻译尝试,我觉得有必要贴出来让大家了解与思考。6。如果其他人对我的解释和看法有什么不同观点,欢迎和我讨论。没有人不犯错。回复人:Laplando——越狱千次郎——中华译神2007年5月7日
去香港旅游最值得做的10件事情。 Top 10 Things to do in Hong KongHong Kong has much more to offer tourists than great shopping. Here are the top 10 things to do during your stay in this exciting city. Hong Kong is best known as a shopper’s paradise, with its many malls, stores and street markets offering bargains on everything from designer jeans to jade necklaces. There is so much more to Hong Kong, though, than shopping. This former British colony also has a wealth of cultural attractions. Here are the top 10 things to do in Hong Kong, including some great museums, walks and places to shop and dine. 1. Architecture tour A tour of the major landmarks in Hong Kong is a good way to get acquainted with the city and learn about its history at the same time. The Architecture Institute of Hong Kong organizes tours of some of the notable buildings downtown. The tours are conducted by a local architect and take about three hours. On the tours you will be introduced to the older, colonial buildings such as the Central Police Station and the French Mission, as well as some great modern architecture, including the Hong Kong and Shanghai building designed by Sir Norman Foster in 1985. 2. Visit temples The Man Mo Temple is one of the most important in Hong Kong. Located near Hollywood Road, it was built in 1848 and is named after Man, the god of literature, and Mo, the god of martial arts. Inside, the air is thick with the smoke from coils of incense paper burned by worshipers. You can also see statues of the deities, Man holding a calligraphy brush and Mo holding a sword. Wong Tai Sin Temple is the most well known Taoist temple in Hong Kong. Ornately decorated with red pillars and a golden roof, Wong Tai Sin is always crowded with worshipers. It is dedicated to a famed healer and Taoist disciple, whose portrait adorns the main altar. Today, people pray at the temple for help with their health and money, and come to have their fortunes read. You can have your fortune read by one of the many clairvoyants located at the temple entrance. They read faces and palms and draw up Chinese astrological charts. Not all speak English, though. Also, you can find a Chinese herbal medicine seller in the temple grounds. 3. Trip to Lantau Island The main reason people go to this island is to visit the largest Buddhist monastery in Hong Kong located high in the Lantau hills. Walk up 260 steps to the 100 ft tall seated statue of Buddha and take in the breathtaking view of the surrounding hillsides. You can even stay at the monastery and sample some of the delicious, yet simple vegetarian fare. Lantau is actually a much larger island than Hong Kong. Much of it is covered in woodlands and in addition to visiting the temple, you can also go on some excellent walks here. 4. Aberdeen Harbor boat ride You’ve probably seen Aberdeen Harbor many times in movies and on television the fishing junks, the people, and the ubiquitous seafood restaurants. For an experience to remember, try taking a boat ride in a wooden sampan across the harbor, or have a meal at one of the huge floating restaurants.
