中国人学英语，美国人学法语  HOHO~~~~

外国人出不出国门都能说自己的语言，中国人出不出国门都宣扬英文交流。。。。。

美国人也学外语,我儿子的学校有西班牙语,法语,和中文. 我儿子有一个美国同学对中文特有兴趣,也是不出门以精通几门外语了,包括中文.中文比我儿子可能还要好呢.

在美国最流行的是学西班牙语,因为除了英语就是西班牙语用的比较多.

Answer 1: Because he doesn't have guts.

(解释: 这里的guts是双关语. gut有"内脏"的意思,也有"勇气"的意思)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
多谢radio, I've learned from this.:)

radiowoman

怎么都是聊天滴, 没有人回答第二个问题涅?

fangfang

Question 2: What's the difference between "besides" and "except" ?
"Besides"---就是除了这个,还有别的.
"except" ---就是排除在外了.
-------------------------------------------------------
会长对吗?

My question is: Can anybody translate this sentence? (注:Merck 是个美国药厂的名字,有人知道它的中文吗?)

Merck's experimental AIDS vaccine fails ;P

Thanks 自言自语MM's introduce, I bought the book <kite runner> over this weekend. I've start reading it last night. It has a very interesting beginning; I believe it must be a very good book. I rarely read English novels before. I could improve my English by reading this book while moved by it.

By the way, reading English novels is a good way to improve our English.

Thanks LZ to having this 帖 opened.:handshake

《The kite runner》is really a great  book.
It's so touching and it made me cry again and again.
fangfang J，I think you will have the same feel.
Reading English novels is really a good way to improve English.
I have the  English novel "Pride and Prejudice",I found it in a old and small bookstore and I really love it.

Answer: 默克药厂研究爱滋病疫苗失败.

(解释: 这是意译, 不是直译. Merck是个品牌名称,并且是个不同领域都在使用的品牌,所以我在翻译的时候加了"药厂"这两个字, 以免混淆)

====================================

Question 3: 请翻译: "书写的力量, 带给你心灵的平静".

(备注: 这个翻译没有标准答案, 我们相互切磋, 争取翻得好一些,贴切些, 希望各位各抒己见哈!!)

Let me answer radioJJ's question.
The power of writing brings you the silence of your mind.---I don't know if my answer is correct and expect other JMDS' better answers.

我觉得小自翻译得很好, 我在想,如果把 silence 改成 peace, 会不会跟贴切些?

盗用小自的句子, 我的翻译是:

The power of writing leads you to the peace of mind.  Right? Wrong? I am not sure.

自言自语

OMG!I have  had a mistake!"writing",not "writting":$
The word "peace" is really better than "silence":D

fangfang

Thanks 自言自语  ! < Pride and Prejudice >, is my next target! xixi.
------------------------------------------------------------------
"书写的力量, 带给你心灵的平静".

"The power of writing, peaceful in your soul."??

天那,都上升到 soul 的境界啦? 我本来还想, 用"heart"会比较好.

自言自语

超重的小孩子患心脏疾病的概率与青少年相同。
fangfangJJ对吗？这只是直译，不知道是否还有funny的意译？
我的问题则是：人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全这句诗的翻译？
呵呵，也算是应景吧，应该也是没有正确的翻译的，大家都来试试吧:P

嘻嘻,这是一篇文章的题目,意思是超重的小孩子到了青少年时就有患心脏疾病危险.(这里的as是当他们在青少年的时后的意思):P

上面那个LIKE是文章的全文,第一句话就解释的比较清楚了:
Overweight children may show a collection of risk factors for heart disease by the time they are teenagers, a new study shows.

fangfang

人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全
-----------------------------------------------------------
Happiness, sadness, gether, or separate as man; full or half as moon; nothing is perfect. ;P

(Wow, I like this game. It is so fun!)
