(1) 在老板面前，請替我美言幾句
我跟Cepui 的譯法一樣。
(2) 飲杯合巹酒
看來無論是Love Toast 或 Cross arm drinking 都無法直指中國"合巹酒"，love toast 有沒有一定要交杯呢? 就算有，也不成。
因為Love Toast 或 Cross arm drinking日日都可以做，"合巹酒"就只係結婚箇晚飲。大家認為如何?
(3) 咱倆誰跟誰呢!
We are friends. Arn't we?
(4) 敢為天下先
Dare to be the first to eat the crab! 
(5) 記得單聲禍
Give me a heads up.
Cepui, 唔該睇下你地對上面既理解如何。
如果我同你講："Cepui, We have the same chemistry." 你點諗?

"合巹酒" 這類詞涉及文化差異的問題, 英文中應沒有現成詞來表達相同的[文化]概念. 林語堂譯為 "the nuptial wine cup", 可供參考. 此譯法的好處是能向不懂中文的人介紹中國文化, 但可能要加註腳, 才能令外國人明白箇中文化意義.

如果你同我講："Cepui, We have the same chemistry." 我知你想表達什麼; 不過我不會用這句於普通朋友﹐只會用在我有"special interest"的男仕身上. 又如果我會講這句﹐我會咁講 instead, "JoeJoe, there's some chemistry between us!"
不過我唔夠斯文﹐所以我同你冇 chemistry 呀﹗   |

小弟跟Cepui開了一個玩笑 "Cepui, We have the same chemistry." 其實是準備引出一個中文常用的字 -- 緣。
中國人講緣份，外國人同樣講緣份，不過英語中的緣字，得看場合來用.....
電視節目 Meeting is Fate ---相識是緣
I have no affinity with you， 或 I share no affinity with you 就是"我跟你沒緣份"。
It's fate that we meet --- 我等相聚是緣份。
緣份也曾見譯成chance meeting, 但不常用。
也有人譯成destiny, 小弟覺得太沉重了。
甚至有人乾脆把它叫 "YUEN", 那太麻煩了，還得替老外做註腳。
至於 If there are mysterious chemistry between two persons, it represents they are "有緣"。這就是文首那句跟Cepui開玩笑的話，但以美國人用得多。
以上有錯誤的話，請不吝指正。 |

joejoe, "Dare to be the first to eat the crab!" 有何特別意思? 請指教.
又曾有朋友問, "有緣無份" 英文該怎樣表達. 緣=predestiny? 份=status? 至今仍感茫然. 各位有何高見?

No.112 [震 TUN TUN, 譯英文]
大地之母均賜人人，不論貧富，世人亦賴此而生生不息。
特別在鄉郊，日常女織男耕，種葡萄以釀酒，養牛以供奶，割草以栽花；周末則同到教堂禮拜，禱告上主。遇有節日，老鄉樂聚坊場，鼓樂齊奏，載歌載舞。如此生活方式，數千年如一。
昔之花圃田園，仍為今之舒適居停。每地均有其堪誇的傳奇故事，每人對家鄉風物亦瞭若指掌。
JOEJOE (No.111) & Cepui (No.116), 多謝回覆! |

Oh sorry﹐唔知你問了我東西添﹗
"有緣無份" 英文有冇架?
我想就冇喇﹗最多是講 It meant to be this way.. 即好似是天意咁﹔或 It's fate that keeps us apart... 是命中註定﹔fate 同 destiny 都解命運﹐但 fate 可用來表達緣份﹐destiny 就不能﹐ at least 我冇見過人家咁用法。好難解釋﹐好多用詞都是意會﹐不能直譯或看字面而作解釋的。
Once again: 我修理科的﹐所以好少看文學小說﹐或者有但你問我﹐我就答冇因為我未聽過有﹗即是講﹐我未必對﹐不要用我的說話來作準。 
BTW: status = 身份/地位﹐但不是緣份那個份。
mok 兄譯得很好呀﹐讀時 D 文字好似一幅畫咁浮在我腦中。小時就好恨住在這種鄉村﹐現在就帽搞我﹐人人識得人人﹐肯定是非一大籮﹗  |
