1704796836 英文疑难详解 196.at large
1704796837
1704796838 美国说的 an ambassador at large 是怎样的一种外交使节?又 at large 一个片语到底是什么意思?应怎样翻译才对?
1704796839
1704796840 【解答】an ambassador at large 是“无任所大使”,政府派往外国协办外交,不固定驻在某一国,所以他没有确定的任所,在英国则说 an ambassador plenipotentiary unattached,与内阁中的不管部大臣(a minister without portfolio)相似。至于 at large 一个片语,含义颇多,没有一定的译法,要看用在什么地方,才知道怎样翻译,现就其七种用法分别举例如下:
1704796841
1704796842 (1)逍遥法外、在逃(free,not in jail):
1704796843
1704796844 The culprit is still at large.(犯人仍未捕获。)
1704796845
1704796846 (2)详细地(at full length,in complete detail):
1704796847
1704796848 He discoursed on the subject at large.(他详细讨论了那个问题。)
1704796849
1704796850 (3)胡乱地(at random):
1704796851
1704796852 He scatters imputations at large.(他乱骂一阵。)
1704796853
1704796854 (4)全体、一般(as a whole,in general):
1704796855
1704796856 Badminton is now popular with the nation at large.(羽毛球现在在一般国民中颇为流行。)
1704796857
1704796858 (5)未定、未决(unsettled):
1704796859
1704796860 They purposely leave the matter at large.(他们故意让那问题久悬不决。)
1704796861
1704796862 (6)无特定的任务。无固定的职业(without regular position,out of work):
1704796863
1704796864 Mr. A is an ambassador at large. ( A 先生是一位无任所大使。)
1704796865
1704796866 He is a gentleman at large.(他无固定职业;他失业。)
1704796867

1704796876 英文疑难详解 197.Scotch on the rocks
1704796877
1704796878 I’d like Scotch on the rocks.一句,英文译作“我喜欢在岩石上的苏格兰人。”似乎意义不明,不知道这句话到底是说的什么?
1704796879
1704796880 【解答】on the rocks 是一个成语,当然是由航海用语而来的。如 rocks ahead 原意为“前面有暗礁”,转而成为“危险当前”的意思。同样地 on the rocks,原意是说“触到暗礁”,转而成为“床头金尽”、“身无分文”、“穷困不堪”的意思,例如:
1704796881
1704796882 “ Can you lend me five dollars?” “ I am sorry that I am on the rocks myself just now.”(“你能借我五块钱吗?”“对不起,目下我本人也穷得要命。”)
1704796883
1704796884 I heard by accident he was on the rocks; that’s how I make him that allowance.—— Galsworthy(我偶然听说他非常穷困;所以我要给他那笔津贴。)
