陀螺尽管转得勤,但就是没有前进!
A top makes no headway no matter how hard it spins.
要点:将两句用no matter how连接,不仅精简了句子,还凸显了两句的逻辑关系。
你出生入死得来的荣誉,也许会在衣香鬓影的欢乐的华筵中欢笑掉。
The honor you have gained by going through fire and water may be lost amidst gay laughter at a joyous grand banquet graced by gorgeously dressed women.
要点:
1,“出生入死”译为going through fire and water,此外going through fire and water也常做“赴汤蹈火”讲。
2,“衣香鬓影的欢乐的华筵”中的“衣香鬓影”可理解为“衣着华丽的美女云集”,“华筵”即“华丽的筵席”,因此这个短语译为a joyous grand banquet graced by gorgeously dressed women.其中 to grace意为“使增色”属增益成分
欢笑掉的东西,难道能用眼泪哭得回来么?
Can that which is lost in the midst of the gay laughter be regained by tears of regret?
要点:
1,“欢笑掉的”即“迷失在欢乐中的”,译为is lost in the midst of the gay laughter
2,tears of regret意为“悔恨的泪水”,of regret为增益成分,起到补充说明的作用
综述:注意以上两句的增译。
宁可预告少而贡献多,切勿先作许多诺言,而最后只能拿出半杯凉水。
