地道中文——爆笑英文翻譯
1.有他這顆掃帚星，什么事情都辦不成。
[誤] With a comet like him, nothing can be accomplished.
[正] With a jinx like him, nothing can be accomplished.
注：“掃帚星”是中國人對“慧星”(comet)的俗稱，因其后面拖著一條像掃帚一樣的長尾巴而得名。在中國古代，“掃帚星”被認為是災難的'預兆，并被用來比喻不吉利的人或事;禍根：(person or thing that is thought to bring)bad luck(to sb/sth);curse。英語的comet 雖然沒有這層含義，但卻有一個對應的說法，即jinx。
例：There's a jinx on/Someone's put a jinx on this car: it's always giving me trouble. (這輛汽車上有什么妨人的東西，總給我找麻煩。)
2.蘿卜青菜，各有所愛。
[誤] Some prefer radish but others prefer cabbage.
[正] Tastes differ。
注：Tastes differ/vary是句英語諺語，除此以外，原句還可翻譯成 No dish suits all tastes 或 You can never make everyone happy 等。此外，我們還可以這樣說：One man's meat is another man's poison. 總之，應采取意譯。
3.老師很喜歡這個嘴甜的小姑娘。
[誤] The teacher likes this sweet-mouthed little girl very much.
[正] The teacher likes this honey-lipped little girl very much.
注：中國人喜歡說“嘴甜”，但 honey-lipped 更符合英美人的語言習慣。
4.同學們都很討厭他，因為他經常拍老師的馬屁。
[誤] The students 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.
注：以前在歐洲，臣民見到國王與王后往往要親吻他們的靴子。后來，人們將 lick the boots 引申為“為了某種目的而討好某人”，它與漢語的“拍馬屁”含義一樣。在美國英語中，“拍馬屁”還有另一種說法，即 polish the apple，源于以前的學生用擦亮的蘋果來討好老師。
