最近在读张培成的《汉英对比与英语学习》,让我在当下机翻、译后编辑盛行的大环境下,重拾了自我思考的能力。语言的魅力,语言的鲜活,不应该是一台机器可取代的,与机器共舞的前提是我们要一直保持自我思考的能力。为了督促自己把这厚本大书读完,决定不定时分享我的读书笔记。

上一篇《让我看看,还有谁把“dog eat dog”翻译成“狗咬狗”的?》我们分享了英汉成语里的“假朋友”。今天我们分享英汉谚语里的假朋友以及英语谚语是如何提高作文逼格的。
不少词典翻译成“饥不择食”,不对。
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Joyfulness is half your health.
The beginning of health is sleep.
If you want to live long, be healthy and fat, drink like a dog and eat like a cat.
A healthy man is a successful man.
Health is better than wealth.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Eat well, drink in moderation, and sleep sound, in this three-good health abound.
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.
Diseases come to horseback and return on foot.
