1. 英语中的双关语, 如你举的例子:
We must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately. 这句话常被译成“我们必须团结一致, 否则将被一一绞死。”但在这句译语中, 读者无论如何也看不出“hand together (在一起绞死)”的谐指, 也无法产生与“hang separately(分别绞死) ”有关的联想。
A cannon ball took off his legs, so he laid down his arms. 如果将此句译成“一发炮弹打断了他的双腿, 所以他放下了武器”, 岂不忽视了 arms 的另一个意思“上肢”, 又怎能表达出“……,他只好垂下了双臂”的谐意呢?
2. 对语音的充分利用有时也会造成翻译转换上的困难:
7 days without water make one weak (week).
该句利用weak 和week 同音, 制造了一个双关语。如果听到这句话, 将其译成“7天没水使人虚弱”, 如何能表达出“7天没水就是一周没水”的谐指呢?
There were soldiers outside Buckingham Palace in their bear (bare) skins.
将此句译成“白金汉宫外有身着熊皮装的士兵”自然无可非议, 但若是将其译成“白金汉宫外有光着身子的士兵”这样的诙谐语又有何不可?
3. 英语回文无论以单词形式出现还是以句子形式出现, 在汉语中体现或表达都极其困难。
Name no one man.
这句话以两个“O ”为中心向两侧展开, 是非常对称的回文。
Able was I ere I saw Elba.
这是英语中的著名回文。它充分利用了英语的特色, 以字母“R ”为中心向两侧展开, 字母完全一样。有人将其译为: 在看到埃尔巴以前我曾极有能耐。这大概只能是句子意思的顺译, 而其回文的妙味及雅趣如何表达则成了问题。类似madam, radar 及 rotator 这样的单
词回文, 在汉语中绝无仅有, 它们翻译转换成汉语回文的可能性实际上是不存在的.
再加一个刚翻译幽默, 用了head的两个意思: 脑袋和厕所:
One time when we were all whispering in the bathroom while making "head calls," our drill instructor must have overheard us. To our surprise, she suddenly yelled, "Why do I hear voices in my head?!"
有一次，我们上厕所时正在窃窃私语，我们的教官大人肯定是听见了。她猛地一吼, 把我们吓了一大跳: “我脑袋里怎么有人说话?!“

据十一届全国人大三次会议大会发言人李肇星介绍，会议期间将重点审议全国人大常委会关于提请审议《选举法修正案(草案)》的议案，并指出选举法修正案草案规定的城乡按相同人口比例选举人大代表，将更好地实现人人平等、地区平等、民族平等的原则。 请看《中国日报》的报道： The draft amendment to the Electoral Law has proposed equal electoral rights for urban and rural citizens, which, if passed, will "expand people's democracy and safeguard their rights to be the masters of their own destiny", Li Zhaoxing, spokesman for the third session of the 11th NPC, told reporters at a press conference on Thursday. 十一届全国人大三次会议发言人李肇星上周四在记者发布会上表示，《选举法修正案(草案)》提出城乡居民应享有相同的选举权。该修正案通过后将“扩大人民民主，保障人民当家作主的权利”。 文中的amendment to the Electoral Law就是指“选举法修正案”，而draft amendment就是指“修正案草案”。此次《选举法》修改，一个重点就是城乡拟按相同人口比例选举人大代表，并且享有相同的electoral rights(选举权)。城乡居民选举将有望实现equal representation(同票同权)。 Amendment在这里指“修正案”，例如First Amendment就常用来指“美国宪法第一修正案”，而draft在这里则表示“草案”。此外，draft还常用来指“征兵，选拔”，例如：John was drafted into the Army last year. (约翰去年被应征入伍。) 全国人大新闻发言人李肇星本周四在新闻发布会上称，2010年我国国防预算将比上年预算执行数增长7.5%。与前几年相比，国防费用增幅有所下降。 请看新华社的报道： China plans to increase its defense budget by 7.5 percent in 2010, only about half of last year's planned growth of 14.9 percent, a parliament spokesman said here on Thursday. 全国人大发言人(李肇星)本周四称，中国2010年国防预算的增幅计划为7.5%，增幅仅为去年计划增幅14.9%的一半。 文中的defense budget就是指“国防预算”，而在实际花费之后则会形成defense expenditure/spending(国防开支)。该预算在fiscal expenditure(财政支出)中所占的比例与去年持平。我国一直奉行defensive national defense policy(防御性国防政策)，逐步提高military transparency(军事透明度)，每两年发布一次white papers on national defense(国防白皮书)。 每年各国政府都会制定fiscal year(财政年度)中的各项预算。家庭内部还可以制定family budget(家庭预算)。现在年轻人的消费观念已经发生了转变，采用budget plan/divided payments(分期付款)的方式买车也越来越流行了，但这并不代表一定会铺张浪费，很多人还是会选择购买一辆budget car(便宜的车)。 3月3日在向政协大会做工作报告时，中共中央政治局常委、全国政协主席贾庆林表示，将高度重视收入差距过大引发的影响社会稳定的因素，努力促进社会公平正义。
浙江高考写作“读后续写”点津与练习 一、“读后续写”样题呈现 1. 样题呈现 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried. Arthur stopped and asked, “It looks like you’ve got a problem,” Arthur said. “I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry and I can’t start my car.” “Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases in to a taxi.” “No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.” The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm. It was from the bank. There had been a robbery (抢劫)! Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened?” But everyone had a different answer. Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him. She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me like that?” he thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I’m the bank thief!” Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150 左右； 2. 应使用5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

情绪失控go bananas Bananas，又香又甜的香蕉几乎人人爱吃，但对香蕉爱得最疯狂的可能得数猴子了。猴子看到香蕉会兴奋得忘乎所以，又叫又跳。Go bananas这个习惯用语就来源于此。 当然它并不一定只用来形容猴子。如果某人在特定情境下像猴子看到香蕉那样激动得上窜下跳、又喊又叫，甚至行为失常，那这个人必定是情绪失控了，这个时候我们就可以说he is going bananas. Yummy mummy is a slang term used in the United Kingdom to describe young, attractive and wealthy mothers. The term developed in the 2000s, and was often applied to celebrity mothers such as Liz Hurley or Victoria Beckham, who appeared to quickly regain their pre-pregnancy figures after giving birth, and would continue to lead carefree and affluent lifestyles. Yummy mummy是英国俚语，指那些年轻、漂亮又有钱的妈妈们，我们简称为“漂亮妈妈”。这个词出现于本世纪初期，多用来描述伊丽莎白?赫利或维多利亚?贝克汉姆等明星妈妈，她们能在产后迅速恢复身材，然后继续过着她们无忧无虑且富足的生活。 The city government of Ankang on Thursday evening apologized to a woman who underwent a forced abortion at a hospital in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, adding that officials who have been found to be responsible for the incident will be relieved of their duties. 陕西省安康市政府周四晚向被在医院强制引产的一名孕妇道歉，并称将对对此事负责的官员做出停职处理。 上面报道中的forced abortion就是“强制引产”，在这儿abortion是指人工terminate pregnancy（终止妊娠），也可称作induced abortion。我国现行的family planning policy（计划生育政策）规定，引产只能在征得孕妇的written consent （书面同意）下进行，且要坚决杜绝late-stage abortion（大月份引产）。“超生人口”英文表达为extra births。 与abortion之相对的是spontaneous abortion（自然流产），也叫miscarriage，是指gestational age（胎龄）不足28周、胎儿体重不足1000g而终止妊娠，其中在妊娠二十周以后流产，称为preterm birth（早产），胎儿有可能存活。常见的自然流产
口语点津：情态动词can't 的10个习惯表达 In English grammar the modal verb “can”and its opposite “cannot or can’t” is explained as a verb that we use to describe ability or the lack of it. For example, I can play tennis or I cannot swim. 在英语语法中，情态动词"can"和它的否定形式"can't"分别用来描述拥有某种能力和缺乏某种能力，比如"I can play tennis."（我会打网球。）或者" I cannot swim."（我不会游泳。）In question form it can be used to ask permission, for example, “Can I leave early today?” or as a challenge –“Why can’t I have another biscuit?” 在疑问句中，"can"和"can't"用于征得同意，比如“Can I leave early today?”（“我今天可以提前走吗？”）或者可用于表达挑衅意味，如“Why can’t I have another biscuit?”（“我为什么不能再吃一块饼干？”） Can’t (or cannot) is also used with some verbs to create idiomatic expressions and are widely used by native English speakers. "can't"（或"can not"）也常常和一些动词连用，在英语中是常用的习惯表达。 1. can’t wait –to be excited about something 1.迫不及待要做某事 e.g. I can’t wait to see my friends next week. It’s going to be wonderful. 例：下周要见我的朋友们啦，我已经迫不及待了，一定会很棒的。 2. can’t stand – to strongly dislike something 2. 厌恶某物 e.g. I can’t stand the traffic in London.

Slow不一定表示"慢" 原文：He is a slow student. 译文：他是一个动作很慢的学生。 辨析：slow有“需要很长时间”的意思，由此引申出“困难”等别的含义，如： He is slow of understanding.他理解力较差。He is so slow that I have to explain everything several times.他太迟钝，所有的事我都得解释好几遍。 所以原句应译为：他学习比较困难（指理解和反应慢）。 注意下列句子的译法： 1. Be slow to promise but quick to practice. 不要轻易许诺，但一旦许诺要尽快实践。2. Business was rather slow last month. 上个月生意不太景气。 3. He is slow at speech with women yet. 跟女人说话，他还有点笨嘴拙舌。 有的词典将Slow and steady wins the race译成“慢而稳者胜”。其实这里slow并非指“慢”，而是强调“不慌张”、“沉着”，所以应译为“沉着稳健者胜”。 翻译时要考虑不同的搭配在汉语中有不同的习惯说法，如：slow season淡季，slow time （与夏季时间相对的）标准时间，a slow starter（拳击中）开始采取守势而后猛攻的选手，The book is rather slow.这本书很乏味（不精彩）。 顺便提一下，go slow中的slow是副词，除了表示"慢慢地走"，还可表示"不慌"、"小心"、"怠工"、"偷懒"等意思，例如： You'd better go slow in reach-ing a conclusion. 你最好不要急于下结论。 反过来，虽然多数情况下"慢"可译为slow(ly)，但也有例外，如"慢性病"是chron-ic disease，（学校中的）"慢班"是adjustment class，"慢（邮）件"是regular freight. 心 black hearted 黑心 with a heavy heart 心情沉重 break one's heart 伤心 bare one's heart 袒露心迹 set one's heart at ease 放心 with a half heart 半心半意 with all one's heart / heart and soul 全心全意win someone's heart 赢得某人的心 have a heart of gold 有一颗金子般的心from the bottom of one's heart 从心底里 to one's heart's content 心满意足 imprint on one's heart 铭记在心 one's heart being afire 心如火焚 ring in one's heart 萦绕心头 bring one's heart into one's mouth (某人的)心跳到嗓子眼 Hearts which beat in unison are linked. 心有灵犀一点通。 原文：I don't have the heart to leave her alone for long. 原译：我没有长时间将她一个人留下的心。辨误：能调整词序，翻译出这样的句子来也算是下了一番工夫，可是原译的意思仍不太清楚。“没有……的心”到底是什么意思？汉语说“有心”是intend (to do something) 或(do something) intentionally的意思，也就是说“有心（要做某事）”意为下了决心打算做，英语可以说have a mind (to do something)或set one's mind on (doing something)。可以看出汉语的“心”在这里相当于英语的mind。中国古代认为“心乃思之官”，所以常说“心里想”。从现代解剖学的观点来看，这是不对的，所以英语不能说I think in my heart，而要用mind一词，但不需要说think in one's mind。What's in your mind? 就是“你在想什么？”的意思。只有在代表“感情”的时候，heart和“心”的意思才有共同之处。请看下列英语和汉语非常类似的说法： 本文所讨论的have the heart to do something 是一个口语用法，意思是“有勇气”或“忍心”（做某件事），一般用于否定句。最后请大家记住这条英语谚语：Let the mind/head rule the heart.（让理智战胜感情。） Look before you leap.（看清楚了再跳。) Everything is difficult before they are easy. （万事开头难。） Take the warning I sent you before it is too late.（赶紧按照我警告你的那样办，否则就来不及了。） I would rather die before I steal.（我宁死不偷/死也不会偷。） 其实，英语里有许多中性的成语，翻译成褒义还是贬义，一定要看上下文决定，例如：birds of a feather（兴趣爱好相同的人/一丘之貉）；enough to make the cat speak（绝妙的/非常糟糕的———以至于连猫都惊讶得开口说话了）；full of ambition（有雄心壮志/野心勃勃的）；hand in glove with（狼狈为奸/亲密无比）；take example by...（以……为榜样/吸取……的教训）。
