你這話里夾雜的“QUOTE”可真不好用這個單詞在翻譯領域最常用意思來翻譯。不是鬧著玩兒的。

叩謝 steve ^_^ May 7, 2008

Steve:

感謝您老不吝撥冗教學,過了兩天這才爬上來道謝,非常失禮,敬請原諒!



stone,

I would say "some" is "some". Don't worry about using it too often.

But sometimes you can use "a few" or "certain" for a little variety, such as "a few people", "a certain few of us", etc.

Also you can avoid being repetitive by not referring directly to the people in question. For example, you can say "a certain mentality", "a particular opinion", "a common misconception", etc.

Please let me know if I didn't answer the right question.

-----------

wherestip

补充几个 May 4

a few people
a few of us
many people
many of us/you/them
a minority of the people
a majority of the people
a majority of us/you/them
a good portion of the people
a small portion of us/you/them
a certain number of people/us/you/them
a number of folks/us/you/them
There are those who ...

暂时就想到这些. 肯定还有许多说法.  



(我現在也不能報價,呃,不能 quote 啦。 上面是手工 copy paste 並加簡短指令。)


學到了好多種 some 的替代用法。 ^_^


不過我想到的是,用其他形容詞來取代可以有自由詮釋空間的some。例如,upon some funny thought,我想改成 upon my malevolent or acrimonious thought(這兩個都是我不會的字,剛剛用字典查來暫用一下的 LOL );to describe some "phenomenon" here 的 some,我搞不好會想改成 the ludicrous phenomenon.


好啦,我承認我常常帶有自譏嘲中取樂的傾向(因為愛譏嘲,經常難免嘲弄到自己,哈哈哈)。:D


又,看到你對我的名字有點兒意見啊....呵呵呵。
(don't worry, stone, you know it's just your family name. ^_^)

感谢! May 7, 2008

Many thanks to Steve for sharing these political jargons in English with us. Those of us born in 1970s missed a dramatic period in Chinese history.

Which one fits the catagory of 群众?

Steve, which one fits the catagory of 群众? and what about 人民群众? These terms always puzzle me. Thanks.



Here are some terms I could think of ...

the masses
the people
we the people
we as a people
all people
common people
people collectively
people as a whole
the Chinese people, the American people
grass-roots movement - 群众运动

There are many more ways to translate this term. My suggestion is to keep all options open, and select an equivalent that works best in the sentence and for the situation.

stone and Jason,

You are welcome.

stone, You got the right idea. Look for words that better describe what you want to say. In many situations, restructuring a sentence could also avoid the repetitive use of a certain word. For example, to avoid the word "some" in the 1st phrase, you could have said "I had a funny thought that ..." or "A funny thought occurred to me that ...".

BTW, by no means was I saying "Stone" is not a good name. It's just not a commonly seen first name, or given name. Plus I wasn't commenting on user IDs or aliases. Aliases are different, in my opinion the more unique the better.

春暖/暖春 May 9, 2008

如果不是暮春時節,但已臨春夏之交了,還暖什麼春?不知是宣傳部、外交部大員的傑作,還是討好人家的歡心,令我們也春心蕩漾,『鄰人眼溫吾人迎』,不見得有人因此而落淚,歡迎你的就是這部『靖國神社』電影。

威記老板問『囧』字何解 May 9, 2008

回來查维基百科才知﹕囧,原是一個今已罕用的文字,但近年在網路間又成為一個流行的表情符號。「囧」粵語讀作/kwɪŋ2/(guing2),普通話讀作ㄐㄩㄥˇ(jiǒng),閩南語讀作/keŋ53/(白話字:kéng)[1]。原意是大明[2]、窗戶[3]。

作為顏文字的囧
由於囧字外觀貌似失意的表情,所以逐漸在PTT等BBS流行。而同時orz也開始流行,所以也常見「囧TZ」的形式,普遍在網路間使用。 或許因為「囧」與「窘」同音,讀起來的感覺也很容易跟窘境、窘況聯想在一起,所以普及速度飛快。

PK 大叔,

关于暖春,我的理解是指中日关系的发展阶段或言状况,而非访问季节。由于日本上届首相小泉的做法,中日关系降至冰点。新首相福田上任后,两国关系有所起色。温家宝去年对日的访问被称为“融冰之旅”。胡当前的访问叫作“暖春之旅”也算一种承接和对应。

最近有个发现,日本首相有点像香港首富李家诚,or vice versa,李家诚有点像日本首相(排名不分先后)。

反战记录片? May 10, 2008

说是偏向中国,反对日本 May 10, 2008

http://www.tycool.com/2008/05/10/00004.html

在胡锦涛访问日本的日子里,东京各影院正在热播在日本引起广泛争议的纪录片《靖国神社》,场场爆满、一票难求,其中就有小泉到靖国神社参拜的镜头。该片由旅日中国导演李缨耗费10年心血拍摄而成,据称有“偏向中国、反对日本”的倾向性。该片遭到日本右翼议员、右翼团体、右翼分子的抵制和抗议
