顏色東西方差異(中英文)

1、注：下劃線斜字體不在ppt上展示！Part1:Befewestartourpresentationtodayfirstlet’strysomeinterestingtranslation.“Youlookbluetoday.What’swrongwithyou”“你今天看起來悶悶不樂，你怎么了”Means“你今天看起來悶悶不樂，你怎么了”。blue表面上是藍色的意思，但這里卻作“憂郁的”解。Thenlet’smoveontoanothe

2、rcase：“Thesmokemadehimcough.Hecoughedharshlyhisfacelitlikeatomato.”“煙使他嗆起來。他難受地咳著，臉脹得像番茄一樣紅”Whichmeans“煙使他嗆起來。他難受地咳著，臉脹得像番茄一樣紅”如果按字面翻譯的話，最后一句的意思應(yīng)為“他的臉像番茄一樣”，但是要使翻譯達到信達雅的效果的話，應(yīng)該譯為“臉脹得像番茄一樣紅”。在英文表達中這個顏色詞”紅”是用tomato這個實物指代的。
