每日一句英译英:waste,rubbish,garbage,trash
我们究竟是用这几个同义词来做英译汉翻译,用中文“懂得”它们的含义,还是用来做英译英,用英语学英语能力训练呢?
这决定了我们未来英语成长的“高度”。
确实,很多人学英语习惯也“喜欢”“用”中文“说话”,“用”中文解释英语“垃圾,废物,废品”。我则“习惯”“用”英语说话、解释:一句破破烂烂的英语低得过十来句表达流畅的中文,因为这个习惯对我们的英语好。
1) Waste:
1.Well,you know,anything that is unwanted,unneeded,isworthless, or any materials,any substances that are unwanted,unneeded,are worthless is waste,including garbage,including trash,including rubbish.
2. So,garbage is waste,trash is waste,rubbish is waste.
不用英语解释,哪里有机会“用用”学过的英语worthless,unwanted等等?
3. So,this city produces 20 million tons of household waste(household rubbish,household trash)each year.
But,but,但是,但是,we only say:
4.He opposes any kind of nuclear waste(核废料,not trash,not garbage,not rubbish) being dumped at sea.
5. Oil spills are common, as is the dumping of toxic industrial wastes(工业垃圾,not trash,not garbage,not rubbish)
6.The Japanese recycle(use again) more than half of their waste paper(废纸没有说trash,rubbish,garbage paper的).
2) garbage
1.Garbage is waste,usually it comes from our kitchen,from our cooking.So,garbage is kitchen waste,left food,left vegetables,left meat.
2. Most people don’t recycle kitchen waste=garbage.
3)Rubbish
Rubbish is waste.But rubbish is British English,meaning waste,trash,or garbage in Smerica.
4)Trash
1. Trash is waste.Trash usually comes from our living room,from our office,like waste paper.
2.The trash really stinks (has a strong bad smell)- why don"t you take it out?
unwanted matter or material of any type, especially what is left after useful substances or parts have been removed:
以下为引申义:
1.He threw a valuable drawing(picture) out, thinking it was trash(rubbish)
2. Don"t believe the trash(rubbish) you read in newspapers.
3.His novels are just trash(rubbish=nonsense)
4.The movie"s trash(rubbish,garbage=nonsense) really, but I quite enjoyed it.
用英语记英语,我们得到更多英语,记不住全部,至少部分,或只言片语。用中文记英语,最后只有中文:英语全忘干净了。
