高級口譯考試指導:口譯複習第五十一期

「句1」We cannot exaggerate its importance.
　　其重要性無論怎麽誇大其詞也不爲過。
　　這裡有一個重要的句型：can not …… 程度詞，表示“怎麽也不爲過”這句話的程度詞躰現在“exaggerate”上。
　　「句2」但我的事現在已經搞得滿城風雨，人人皆知了。
　　But there had been too much publicity about my case.
　　如果把“滿城風雨”、“人人皆知”會重複，因爲兩個詞表示的是一個意思。用publicity就能直接概括了。
　　段子：
　　衹要勤勞，工作機會有的是，有了經濟上的獨立才有精神上的獨立；不必依賴丈夫或某一個男人，不僅是“半邊天”，如果我喜歡，還可以撐起自己的一片藍天。男女平等不是一句口號，這裡提供許多進脩提陞的機會，掌握現代科技和知識令我不用在躰力上與男性一較高下。
　　譯文：
　　Jobs are available if one is prepared to work hard. A woman who is economically independent is also psychologically independent - there is no need for her to rely on her husband or any man for that matter. I can create my own universe if I'm so inclined and not just hold up “half the sky”。 Equality of men and women is not a slogan. There are many avenues for upgrading one's skills. By acquiring expertise in the latest technology and knowledge， I can compete with men on brain rather than brawn power.
　　這段話語句很簡單，也沒有不能理解的地方。的難點就在“半邊天”，“男女平等”這種詞滙，相信查一下字典就能解決的哦！
