中英文里20个“神似”的表达
中英文里20个“神似”的表达下面我们就来看看在口语中，中英文之间有哪些表达是极其相似的!1. 我们在形容一个人花钱大手大脚，会说“花钱如流水”，英文里也是哦，叫做“spend money like water”。
其实，like water就是in large quantities的意思。
2. 当我们在开始某项工作或者做出某项决定之前，都要先稍微探一探路，这个叫做“试水”，同样滴，英文里面叫做“test the waters”。
英文解释可能更好理解一些：to find out what the situation is before doing something or making a decision.3. 咱形容某人做事手法娴熟啦，干啥像啥啦，会用到“心灵手巧”，英文里有个表达特类似，所以特好记，叫做“be good with your hands”which means to be skillful at making or doing things with your hands.4. 我们形容一个人处于公众注意的焦点，总是习惯说“站在聚光灯下”，那大家肯定就会猜到“bein/under the spotlight”是啥意思了吧。
(the spotlight means attention from newspapers, television and the public).5. 不知道什么时候流行起来的“压力山大”，也有对应的传神英文翻译哦!“a mountain of stress”就是超级多的压力。
这里的a mountain / mountains of后面接可数不可数名词都OK，它的意思是a very large amount or number of something.6. 最近比较流行的一句话“不要在意这些细节”，用英文表达就是“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”sweat作为动词时，是worry的意思，所以整句话的意思就是用来告诉某人not to worry about small details or unimportant things.7. 我们生活中有没有遇到过很怂的boss，突然之间雄起!决定要给手下看看“谁才是这儿的老大!”?英文里有一句完全对应的，叫做“show somebody who’s the boss”，是不是听起来很霸气!当你想让对方清楚你比他们有power和authority的时候，用起来吧!8. “在同一个屋檐下”同样也有一样的英文“under the same roof”。

10个令人“拍案叫绝”的中翻英，大写的服！
10个令人“拍案叫绝”的中翻英，大写的服！翻译既简单，又很难。
这就好比吃饭，可以粗茶淡饭，也可以珍海味。
那么，翻译中“山珍海味”的标准，在我看来就是：译文在“音、形、意”三个方面与原文无限接近。
“音近”指发音接近，这个最难实现，“形近”指形式接近，尤指句式的相似度，“意近”指在意思的传递上尽量达到“无损”的状态。
当一个翻译的“音、形、意”达到高度统一时，就会产生一种令人“拍案叫绝”的效果。
侃哥搜罗全网，找到了一些好东西，跟大家分享，共同体会语言之美。
1忽悠fool you这个翻译太绝，做到了刚才我说的“音、形、意”三者的完美融合。
首先发音上，大家读一下fool you，不就是“忽悠”的福建话版本吗？（福建话中h和f不分...福建同学感触会比较深吧 ）。
其次，形式一致，“忽悠”两个词，“fool you”也两个词；最后，意思十分接近：“忽悠”=“愚弄（你）”=“fool you”2单身狗Damn Single这个翻译也很绝，做到了“音、形、意”三点中的“音和意”两点。
大家念一下Damn Single，是不是很像“单身狗” ？其次，在意义上，“single”这个单词大家都知道表示“单身”的意思，而“damn”在英文中是一个加强语气的词，通常用在发泄负面情绪的场合。
用“damn”来诠释“单身狗”这种自嘲的语气，蛮准确的 。
下次有人问你有对象了吗，你可以回答：“I am damn single!”3不折腾No Z-turn在国外的交通标识里，有一种叫“No U turn”，就是“不能U型转弯”（不能掉头）。
这位译者创造性地把“U”变成了“Z”，“Z-turn”给人非常好的画面感（能把字幕Z用成“象形字”，不是一般的牛）：一个人开车的时候，一会儿朝左开，一会儿朝右开，一会儿再朝左开，一会儿再朝右开...这干吗呢？不就是“折腾”嘛！而且，最好玩的一点是，“Z-turn”的发音跟“折腾”真的真的很相似...有安徽的同学吗？家乡话来一个！是不是一模一样？？4忙的一笔as busy as bee“一笔”是南京话（今天扯了好多中国的地区方言...），也是加强语气的一种说法。
