He who teaches me may be considered my father-figure for life.
这几种译法意思都是“老师即使对我只有一天的教诲,也会让我一生都受用不尽。外国人也有他们表达师生关系的谚语,如:
Teach others to fish and they will fish for a lifetime.(授人以鱼,不如授人以渔)
Give a man fish, he will have a meal; teach him to fish, he will have food all his life.
6、学如行舟,不进则退
如果直译成:
Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back.
老外听后,也许会感到一头雾水。这样修改一下,表达可以清晰一些:
Learning seems like rowing upstream(逆流); if one does not advance, one will fall back. Learning is like rowing against the current(激流), if one does not advance, one will retreat. 更直接的说法是:
If you don't make progress, you will fall behind.
