中式英语之鉴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。

[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。

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。

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
10.我们要把祖国建设成为社会主义的现代化强国。
We will build our motherland into a s ocialist modern powerful country.
×
We will build our motherland into a m
odern powerful socialist country.
他认为毫无价值的那本书对我们来说却是无价之宝。
7、我有一个舒适的家。

误用平行结构弗雷特[p.212] 谈到“最致命的的问题就是想用匹配的结构却没用好”。

但同样致命的是对那些本来不匹配的成分使用匹配的结构。

以上两种情况都会给人一种毫无头绪的印象。

当把平行结构强加在那些逻辑上本不平行的成分中，其结果总会让人吃惊（例如，“Just like the Crowne Plaza, all rooms...”）。

有时，这种用法会故意产生幽默感。

乔森[p.9] 引用了这两个错误的平行结构“He took his hat and his leave”和“He bolted his door and his dinner”。

乔森暗示人们都是出于搞笑的意图才会写：“He keeps fit, sleep, and his word .”但是逻辑上不一致的问题常常是不经意产生的。

拉姆齐福勒和简·艾伦[p.354] 引用了一个误用的结构：The painting has subdued tone, great feeling, and a length of about three feet. 作者在这个毫无相似性的结构中无意间暗示了一种相似性。

克莱尔·库克[p.67] 给出以下这个引人深思的平行结构：The police found no alcohol in his bloodstream but a loaded gun in his car. 这一结构几乎没什么意义。

杰克斯·巴润和亨利·格拉芙，像弗雷特一样，坚持认为平行结构一旦开始使用就应贯穿始终，然而他们强调，这种结构如果一开始就不符合逻辑就不应使用。

杰克斯·巴润和亨利·格拉芙说：“平行结构是如此重要的一种写作工具以至于平行结构的使用必须是纯粹的，所以不要将平行形式用在迥然不同的观点中。

”如果你能记住以上这点建议，你就会避免拿破仑战争中那位法国退伍军人在叙述自己三次受伤经历时所犯的错误：Once in an ambush, once in the leg, and once in the Netherlands.对二十个例子的修改1）A：Economically, we are struggling for the democracy of distribution of food grain, reduction production.B：Economically, we are struggling to ensure the democratic distribution of grain,reduce rents and interest rates, increase wages, eliminate unemployment anddevelop production.句意为：从经济上说，我们正努力保证粮食的民主分配，减少租金和利率，增加工资，消除失业，发展生产。

《中式英语之鉴》，中式英语再见。

（十一）上周，我们为大家介绍了短语和从句的位置会对句子逻辑有什么影响。

（此处回顾：《中式英语之鉴》，中式英语再见。

（十））本周，让我们再续前缘，一起看看不同位置会怎样影响句子的信息重心。

短语和从句的位置作者在书中提到：“The emphatic places in a sentence are beginning and end, the end being the more so.”也就是说，句子的开头和结尾往往会留给比较重要的内容。

大家还记得高中时老师们推荐的速读方法吗？通过抓段落的首句和末尾句来掌握段落大意，正是利用了类似的原理。

例11. After more than twenty days of exhausting marches and heavy combat, they reached the Dabie Mountains in late August.2. They reached the Dabie Mountains in late August, after more than twenty days of exhausting marches and heavy combat.3. In late August, after more than twenty days of exhausting marches and heavy combat, they reached the Dabie Mountains.句子大意：经过二十多天的行军和战争，他们在八月底抵达了大别山。

我们可以判断句子有三大比较重要的信息：抵达时间（八月底）、抵达之前（行军和战争）以及抵达这个动作。

这三部分信息的逻辑顺序是清楚的，因此无论如何排列，传达的意思大概都是一样的，但排列顺序不同，强调的重点就会有微妙的不同。

比如上面的三个版本，版本1强调了抵达的时间，而版本2就强调了行程中的艰难（很可能下文会接着说有多艰难），而版本3则强调的是他们“终于”到达了大别山（终于抵达）。

6) My age is twenty (years).（不常用）
7) I come into the age of twenty.（不常用）
8) I'm in my teens.（不常用）
in one's early teens（不常用）
在十三四岁年纪
not yet out of one's teens（不常用）
100. 我爷爷是奔75的人了。
[误] My grandpa is running for seventy-five.
[正] My grandpa is getting on for seventy-five.
注：run for 有“竞赛，竞选”之意，如：run for Congress（竞选国会议员），run for the presidency（竞选总统）等。而 get on for 才表示“接近”，它通常用进行时态，后面一般跟年龄或者时间，如：It's getting on for midnight（快到半夜了）等。
105. 我舅舅的胃病又犯了。
[误] My uncle has got another attack of stomach disease.
[正] My uncle has got another attack of stomach trouble.
注：英语同汉语一样，也有很多约定俗成的表达法。同样是“病”，心脏病可以说 heart disease，但胃病、肝病、眼病等就习惯说成 stomach/liver/eye trouble。
***(1). push thirty[forty,etc.]已经快到三[四...]十岁了：
She would like you to think so, but she's pushing thirty.

[详解]中式英语之鉴

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.Unnecessary words are the hallmark of Chinglish.Unnecessary words can be any part of speech—nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, articles, and so on. In the following chapters we shall consider the most important types, starting with unnecessary nouns and verbs, whi ch often go hand in hand.I .Unnecessary Nouns and V erbsNounsMost unnecessary nouns in Chinglish appear not alone but in short phrases, combined with articles and prepositions. When you eliminate the nouns , you eliminate the articles and prepositions as well.Many of these nouns are easy to recognize. They are plainly redundant because their sense is already included or implied in some other element of the sentence. Here are a few examples (A) with suggested revisions (B)and comments in brackets.加快经济改革步伐A: to accelerate the pace of economic reformB: to accelerate economic reform(To accelerate = to increase the pace of )农业获得大丰收A: There have been good harvests in agriculture.B: There have been good harvests.[“Harvest”implies agriculture: there are no harvests in i ndustry.]城乡人民生活水平持续上升。

（十三）上周我们一起学习了垂悬分词和垂悬动名词这两种垂悬结构错误，不知道大家都还记得吗？今天我们来看一下剩下的三种常见错误类型：垂悬不定式、非基于动词形式的介词短语和独立形容词。

垂悬不定式Dangling infinitives 垂悬不定式不定式不根据人称、数量和时态的变化而变化，永远是to do结构，所以通常在句首时，因为逻辑主语和句子主语不一致容易导致垂悬结构错误。

举例例1To reach a more objective conclusion, he said, historical, cultural, and other backgrounds of the ethnic groups should be considered when studying religion in China.前半句话“要得出更客观的结论”的主语应该是做研究的人，读者读完第一句期待后面出现的是某人，但是接着往下读，主语变成了“历史、文化等背景”，这就构成了垂悬结构。

另外，这句话的后半句部分when studying religion犯了我们上周讲过的现在分词的垂悬错误，studying的主语也应该是人。

To reach a more objective conclusion, he said, people studying religion in China should consider the history and culture of the various ethnic groups and other aspects of their background.审校把这两个垂悬结构缺失的主语补充了出来，加上people这句话的逻辑就顺了。

例2In order to serve you better, please fill out a deposit slipbefore approaching the window.这是一张贴在银行的告示，告诉人们去窗口办理业务前，最好先填好表格。

中式英语之鉴中文版P175-P187

P175-P187——牛睿译反对“疫病”正如我们在第一章所看到的，如果一个名词是空洞的或多余的，就可以简单地将其删除。

然而，如果它承载的意义的一个必要元件，译者就必须找到其他的方式处理它。

通常的解决办法是转变名词的词性。

接下来我们来看看转变词性的三种方式。

如果这三种都不可行，下面还有一个有效的方法可以选用。

1、用动词提代名词这是最常用也是最先可以考虑使用的策略。

我们在第一章的开始就已经反复使用这个方法来处理“多余的动词+名词结构”（“make an improvement”= “improve”）这个方式还适用于很多情况。

例如：A: Adherence to Marxism is vital to China, and so is adherence to socialism.B: It is vital for us to adhere to Marxism and socialism.（坚持马克思主义和社会主义是至关重要的。

）A: otherwise, there can be no achievements in our workB: otherwise, we can achieve nothing（否则，我们将一事无成）A: such behavior on the part of leading cadres will encourage extravaganceB: if leading cadres behave that way, they will encourage extravagance（领导干部的如此行为方式将会带动铺张浪费）A: reading of newly published materials is also importantB: it is also important to read newly published materials（阅读最新发布的材料也是很重要的）2、用动名词替代名词回忆你所学过的语法知识，动名词是动词的“-ing”形式作名词。

中式英语之鉴读书笔记英文

中式英语之鉴读书笔记英文Title: "Notes on the Reading of 'A Dictionary of Chinglish' "The book "A Dictionary of Chinglish" is a unique compilation that highlights the amusing and sometimes confusing linguistic mishaps that occur when Chinese attempt to express themselves in English. The collection of examples, ranging from the odd to the downright hilarious, offers a fascinating peek into the cultural and linguistic misunderstandings that can arise in cross-cultural communication.One of the most striking aspects of the book is its ability to make the reader laugh while simultaneously shedding light on the challenges faced by Chinese learners of English. The examples, although humorous, highlight the difficulties in bridging the gap between two vastly different languages and cultures. It's a testament to the rich tapestry of language and the universal challenges we face in communication.The book also serves as a valuable learning tool for those teaching English to Chinese students. It provides insights into the commonmistakes made and the cultural assumptions that often lead to these errors. By understanding these pitfalls, teachers can better guide their students in avoiding them, thus improving their language skills.In conclusion, "A Dictionary of Chinglish" is more than just a book of funny language mishaps; it's a valuable resource for anyone involved in cross-cultural communication. It serves as a reminder that in translation, humor often gets lost in translation—but that's okay, because the insights gained are well worth the laughter.。

The?English?Learner`s?Guide?to?Chinglish.?中式英语之鉴——大家千万不要犯了哦~所谓[正]和[误]，是为便于比较而设的形式而已，是想借此形式为学生学习巩固英语常用习惯用法起助记提醒之作用。

所谓[正]、[误]是个相对概念，不是绝对的，有很多表达只是得体与不得体、地道与不地道的问题。

考虑初学者接受能力有限，一个单项不益搞得面面俱到或超出能力范围，他们读到的一条只是相对较为得体的一种表达法而已，随着不断的学习，想必其知识自然会扩展和深入的。

总之，我们学的是英语，所以就要尽量按英语的表达法说话、造句，克服中式英语自然是我们努力的目标。

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'sput 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”。

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'sput 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”。
