1705060399 翻译辨误 205 kick不一定要用脚
1705060400
1705060401 原文:
1705060402
1705060403 He kicked down the racing car at the first bend.
1705060404
1705060405 原译:
1705060406
1705060407 他在第一个弯道把赛车踢了下去。
1705060408
1705060409 辨析:
1705060410
1705060411 kick的基本意思是“踢”,把kick down理解为“踢下去”也是有道理的,如:He kicked down the blanket.(他把毯子踢了下去。)但是英语里有许多习语,其意思常常是从字面上推导不出来的。第4版的Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English给idiom下的定义就是:a group of words that has a special meaning that is different from the ordinary meaning of each separate word.本句的原译让人弄不明白,他怎么踢得动一辆汽车,又从哪里踢下去?正如A Dictionary of American Idioms前言开头说的:If youunderstand every word in a text and still fail to grasp what the text is all about,chances are you are having troubles with idioms.这一句里的kick down就是一个idiom,其意思是“把车换到低挡”,即“减低车速”,所以原句的意思是:他在第一个弯道换到了低挡。这当然是用手而不是用脚完成的。
1705060412
1705060413 其实,英语中含有kick的成语很多,很多是kick加上一个很短的副词或介词构成的。以下成语有时可指字面本来意思,有的有几个意思,这里只举最常用的意思:
1705060414
1705060415 kick against不喜欢,抱怨,反对:You’ll only make yourself feel worse if you kick against your ill luck—you must learn to accept it.(如果你抱怨自己运气不佳,只会使自己更难受,你必须学会认命。)
1705060416
1705060417 kick around 1.四处游荡:He kicked around for several months after being demobbed and didn’t find a job until the next year.(他退伍之后有几个月什么也不干,到第二年才找了个工作。)2.粗暴地待人:John always gets angry when he sees others kick around the little boy.(看到别人欺负那个小男孩,汤姆总是很生气。)
1705060418
1705060419 kick back给回扣。所给的“回扣”称之为kickback(名词)。
1705060420
1705060421 kickin开始:The payments on the new flat won’t kick in until February.(买房的钱要到2月份才开始付。)
1705060422
1705060423 kick off开始。此习语来自足球比赛时的开球,并有名词形式kickoff:They had a good kickoff.(他们开局不错。)
1705060424
1705060425 kick on开始运转。
1705060426
1705060427 kick out开除。由“踢出去”引申出来,很形象。
1705060428
1705060429 kick over 1.发动(引擎等)2.付钱:The gang forced all the shop-keepers on the block to kick over1,000yuan a week for so called protection.(那帮歹徒强迫该街区所有商店每周交1000元所谓的“保护费”。)
