1704977937 At the end of the day 不是世界末日
1704977938
1704977939 如果你是一个经常阅读英文报纸杂志的人,就不难发现,时不时地,人们突然会对某一个词组或某一种说法产生兴趣。一时间,这种说法就会成为人们言谈话语中少不了的时髦词汇。At the end of the day就是流行于2008年的一句口头禅。
1704977940
1704977941 之所以在这里想花点时间说说At the end of the day,是因为国内一家主流电视媒体在报道At the end of the day成为2008年的流行英语时把它翻译成了“世界末日”。这里,我要替其更正一下,At the end of the day与doomsday(世界末日)毫无关系。At the end of the day最初的意思是,当一天结束时或当一天的工作完成后,如:Will this be finished at the end of the day or before?(下班前或下班时这活儿能赶出来吗?)。后来,这句话被人们引申为:当你对事情做了全盘考虑后,如At the end of the day you will have to decide where you want to live.(不管你怎么想,最后你还是要决定你究竟要住在哪里)。在2008年,这句话之所以备受青睐,是因为它的引申含义,同时也是因为它成了在表达一个重要概念或结论前能引起对方注意的一个前奏,如At the end of the day,what matters is that you’re safe.(最重要的是,你安全就好)。在这种情况下,at the end of the day可以基本不翻译,而是用相应的词去强化后面的句子。
