中式英语之鉴100句01. 有他这颗扫帚星，什么事情都办不成。
[误] With a comet like him, nothing can be accomplished.[正] With a jinx like him, nothing can be accomplished.注：“扫帚星”是中国人对“慧星”（comet）的俗称，因其后面象拖着的一条像扫帚一样的长尾巴而得名。
在中国古代，“扫帚星”被认为是灾难的预兆，并被用来比喻不吉利的人或事；祸根：（person or thing that is thought to bring）bad luck（to sb/sth）；curse。
英语的comet 虽然没有这层含义，但却有一个对应的说法，即jinx。
例：There's a jinx on/Someone's put a jinx on this car: it's always giving me trouble. “这辆汽车上有什么妨人的东西，总给我找麻烦”。
02.萝卜青菜，各有所爱。

4、 周末许多人睡得很晚。
[误] Many people sleep late at weekends. [正] Many people go to bed very late at weekends.
注：英语动词有短暂动词和持续动词之分，它们分 别表示短暂动作和持续的动作或状态。sleep 是典 型的持续动词，而汉语的“睡”既可表示“上床睡 觉”的短暂动作，如：我昨天11点才睡；也可以表 示“在睡觉”的持续动作和状态，如：他睡了整整 10个小时。原文属于前一种情况，即表示“上床睡 觉”的短暂动作，故应该使用 go to bed。
2、 嘿，小伙子，千万别灰心。
Hey, lad, don't lose your heart. [正] Hey, lad, don't lose heart.
注： lose one's heart (to sb.) 是“心被... 俘虏去，爱上...”的意思， 而 lose heart 才表示“灰心丧气，丧失勇 气或信心”。
√
靠近原则,即越能说明本质属性的修饰词越 靠近它所修饰的名词;当从这一点看不出区 别时，就靠词的长短来决定，短的在前， 长的在后。eg.皮影戏是中国古老的民间传

中式英语之鉴英文版
中式英语之鉴英文版英文回答：Chinese English, also known as Chinglish, is a blend of English and Chinese languages that is characterized by the use of English words and phrases with Chinese grammar and syntax. It is often used in informal settings, such as social media, text messages, and spoken conversations.There are several reasons why people use Chinese English. Some people find it easier to express themselvesin this way, as it allows them to use familiar Chinese words and phrases while still communicating in English. Others use it as a way to show their cultural identity or to create a sense of humor.Chinese English can sometimes be difficult to understand for native English speakers, as it often uses words and phrases that have different meanings in English. For example, the phrase "no problem" is often used inChinese English to express agreement, whereas in English it usually means that there is no difficulty.Despite its potential for misunderstandings, Chinese English can also be a valuable tool for communication. It can help to bridge the gap between English and Chinese speakers, and it can provide a unique and creative way to express oneself.Here are some examples of Chinese English:Can you give me a ride? -> Can you dai wo yi tiao lu ma?I'm so hungry. -> Wo hen e.What are you doing? -> Ni zai gan ma?I'm going to the store. -> Wo qu mai dongxi.I love you. -> Wo ai ni.中文回答：中式英语，也称为Chinglish，是一种英语和汉语的混合，其特点是用汉语语法和句法来表达英语单词和短语。

Parallel Structure并列结构，即以匹配的形式表达匹配的思想，是英语表达中最基本、最有价值的⽂体之⼀。
它不仅实现了语序平衡，⽽且最⼤限度地强调了观点之间的联系，使得读者可以清晰地接收到作者的意图，并且以最⾼效、有⼒的⽅式总结出来了。
英语中许多最令⼈难忘的台词，从最朴实的⺠间谚语到最优美的⽂学段落，其经久不衰的⼒量都归功于并列思想的并列陈述。
下⾯的⼀些例⼦对于学习英语的中国学⽣来说⽆疑是熟悉的：A penny saved is a penny earned.Where there's a will there's a way.To be, or not to be: that is the question . ...Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness.

中式英语之鉴【精选文档】
Part One：Unnecessary WordsAll authorities on the style of English prose agree that good writing is concise。
Careful writers say what they mean in as few words as possible。
Vigorous writing is concise。
A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences，for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts。
It follows that any words which perform no useful function in the sentence-that is ，which add nothing to the meaning—should be edited out.Almost every text that has been translated into English from Chinese( or that has been written directly in English by a native speaker of Chinese) contains unnecessary words. Draft translations are commonly full of them, and even polished final versions are seldom free of them。
Read anything that has been published in English for foreign readers—a magazine article, a news story, an advertisement，a government report-and you are likely to find superfluous words. Read even the shortest of English texts—the label on a food product , a billboard on Chang’an ，the company name on the front of a building—and ，if you are on the alert to recognize them，chances are that you will find words that could and should have been omitted。

05.同学们都很讨厌他，因为他经常拍老师的马屁。
[误] The student all dislike him because he often pats the teacher's ass.
[正] The students all dislike him because he often licks the teacher's boots.
11.这个教授教得很烂。
[误] The professor teaches badly.
[正] The professor is so terrible.
注：有人认为第二句的意思是“这个教授很可怕”，其实不然。英语中 terible 意思很灵活，例如：feel terrible 指身体“不舒服”； The food is terrible 则是说食物“难吃极了”。而第一句纯属中文式的表达。
14.我们这儿的人都觉得他有婚外恋。
[误] Pepple around here all feel that he has affairs outside his own marriage.
[正] Pepple around here all feel that he is leading a double life.
12.北京申奥成功的消息令我们热血沸腾。
[误] Beijing's winning the bid for the Olympics makes our blood boil.
[正] Beijing's winning the bid for the Olympics makes us excited.
注：affair 本身就指“私通”或“暧昧关系”，当然是“婚外”的事，所以 outside one's own marriage 无疑是多此一举了。英语中“有婚外恋”的地道说法应该是 lead a double life。
15.别看别人不把她当回事，在家里她可是父亲的掌上明珠。
注：以前在欧洲，臣民见到国王与王后往往要葡匐到在，亲吻他们的靴子。后来，人们将 lick the boots 引申为“为了某种目的而讨好某人”，它与汉语的“拍马屁”含义一样。在美国英语中，“拍马屁”还有另一种说法，即 polish the apple，它典出以前的学生用擦亮的苹果来讨好老师。
03.他一向嘴硬，从不认错。
[误] He has always got a hard mouth and never admit a fault.
[正] He never says uncle.
注：say (cry) uncle: to give up or in; to surrender; to admit defeat. Mainly used by boys, as when fighting。主要是男孩们打架时的用语，当一方想制服另一方时，就用命令的口气说：“Say uncle!”这时，有的孩子为了表示不服输，就是不说。后来，say uncle 就成了“服输”的代名词，而 not say uncle 就相当于“嘴硬”了。

[误] With a comet like him, nothing can be accomplished.
注：中英文常用不同的喻体表明相同的喻义，“掌上明珠”与 the apple of one's eye 就是一个很好的例子。这种情况我们一般应尊重各国文化和习俗，翻译时取目的语的固定说法，而不必直译，这有助于将意思更有效地传达给读者。the apple of one's eye 源自圣经《旧约》，当时人们用 apple 指人的瞳孔。尽管瞳孔现在已经用 pupil 来表示，不再是 apple 了，但这一用法却延续了下来。
[误] Although other people never take her seriousy, she is the pearl on her father's hand at home.
[正] Although other people never take her seriousy, she is the apple of her father's eye at home.
06.你听说了吗？迈克把他的女朋友给甩了。
[误] Have you ever heard that Mike broke up with his girlfriend.
[正] Have you ever heard that Mike dumped his girlfriend.
注：break up with sb. 虽然表示“与某人分手了”，但并没说明是谁先提出来的。而 dump 的原意指“倾倒垃圾”，用在这里则表示像倒垃圾一样地甩掉。

2 中式英语之鉴100句
[正] Almost all people think that the grass is greener on the other hill. They never feel saisfied with what they've already got.
08.人都是这山望着那山高，对自己的现状没有满意的时候。
[误] Almost all people think that the other mountain is higher than the one he's standing on. They never feel saisfied with what they've already got.
02.萝卜青菜，各有所爱。
[误] Some prefer radish but others prefer cabbage.
[正] Tastes differ.
注：Tastes differ/vary 是句英语谚语，除此以外，原句还可翻译成 No dish suits all tastes 或 You can never make everyone happy 等。《新概念英语》第三册第23课的标题是：One man's meat is another man's poison，表达的很生动。 总之，应采取意译。
[正] With a jinx like him, nothing can be accomplished.注：“扫帚星”是中国人对“慧星”（comet）的俗称，因其后面象拖着的一条像扫帚一样的长尾巴而得名。在中国古代，“扫帚星”被认为是灾难的预兆，并被用来比喻不吉利的人或事；祸根：（person or thing that is thought to bring）bad luck（to sb/sth）；curse。英语的 comet 虽然没有这层含义，但却有一个对应的说法，即 jinx。 例：There's a jinx on/Someone's put a jinx on this car: it's always giving me trouble. “这辆汽车上有什么妨人的东西，总给我找麻烦”。
注：形容词作为修饰语在汉语和英语中都很常用，但使用的先后次序却有所不同。在英语中我们一般遵循“靠近原则”，即越能说明本质属性的修饰词越靠近它所修饰的名词，当从这一点看不出区别时，就靠词的长短来决定，短的在前，长的在后。原文中最能说明“国家”本质的定语是“社会主义的”，所以 socialist 要最靠近它所修饰的中心词。
[正] Don't be fooled by their babbling. Nothing of the sort.
注：原文中的“听”不能用 listen to 来表示，因为 listen to 指“听”的动作，而原文中的“别听”不是不让他“听”，而是劝告他“不要听信”，因此，用 not be fooled by 才更达意。
04.老师很喜欢这个嘴甜的小姑娘。
[误] The teacher likes this sweet-mouthed little girl very much.
[正] The teacher likes this honey-lipped little girl very much.

注：“这山望着那山高”是指人不满足于现状的心理，它在英语中已经有了现成的说法，即 the grass is greener on the other hill（他山的草更绿），因此我们借用即可，这样既方便又更有利于与西方人沟通。
09.中华人民共和国主席
[误] Chairman of the People's Republic of China
注：make one's blood boil 是指“激怒某人”，而非“使人激动”。英语中“使人激动”的说法除了 make one excited，还有较为口语化的 make one's spine tingle。
13.别听他们胡说八道，根本就没那回事。
