Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant, which served delicious bacon, fried chicken breast and mutton roasted with pepper and garlic. But his food and discount attracted fewer and fewer customers. Finally, he was in debt. Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant served fresh peas, carrots, eggplants, and raw cucumbers with vinegar. As the hostess, she said fibres benefited customers' digestion the most. In order not to let Yong Hui get away with telling lies, Wang Peng spied on Yong Hui despite her glare. But he was surprised that she was losing her customers, too.
Curiosity drove Wang Peng to consult an expert. The expert sighed and said, “Both of your menus have weakness and limited strength. Your customers put on weight too easily, while Yong Hui’s lose weight too quickly. So, Wang Peng, cut down the fat of your food and increase vegetables and fruits, like nuts, beans, mushrooms, peaches and lemons. You ought to combine the two menus and provide a balanced diet.”
Before long, Wang Peng won his customers back.
平衡膳食
王鹏以经营一家烧烤餐厅来谋生,他的餐厅供应美味的腊肉、油炸的鸡胸,还有用辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉。但是,他的食物和折扣吸引的顾客越来越少。最后他是负债累累。永慧的减肥餐厅供应的是新鲜的豌豆、红萝卜、茄子和用醋腌制的生黄瓜。作为老板娘,她说食物纤维才最有利于顾客的消化。为了不让永慧说了谎不受惩罚,王鹏不顾她的怒视,前去探查个究竟。但是让他惊奇的是,永慧的顾客也在流失。
好奇心驱使王鹏去咨询专家。那位专家叹息着说:“你们俩的菜单都缺点明显、优点有限。你的顾客很容易就发胖,而永慧的顾客体重却减轻得太快。所以嘛,王鹏,你要减少你食物中的脂肪含量,增加蔬菜和水果,例如坚果、豆类、蘑菇、桃子和柠檬之类的。你应该把两份菜单结合起来,给顾客提供平衡的饮食。”
不久,王鹏就赢回了他的顾客。

1 | 原句 | Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant, which served delicious bacon, fried chicken breast and mutton roasted with pepper and garlic. |
解析 | (1) 主句是:Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant。其主语是Wang Peng,谓语是earned,宾语是his living,by+doing表示方式状语。 (2) which served……定语从句,修饰逗号前面的名词a barbecue restaurant,定语从句如果翻译不出来,可以省略,就能非常清晰看清句子的主干,定语状语都是可以删去不看的,抓核心主干即可。 (3) which替代前面的先行词,是定语从句的主语,谓语是served,served后面全部是定语从句的宾语。 (4) 翻译方法:如果定语从句不是很长,则可以先翻译定语从句再加一个汉字“的”再加修饰的名词。但是这里的定语从句显然比较长,你可以先翻译主句,然后再把定语从句翻译为解释性的一种功能语气,比如:王鹏经营一家烧烤餐厅来谋生,(他的餐厅供应美味的腊肉、油炸的鸡胸,还有用辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉。),这就是解释性的翻译方法。 (5) 如果先翻译定语从句再翻译它所修饰的名词则为:王鹏靠经营一家(供应美味的腊肉、油炸的鸡胸,还有用辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉)的烧烤餐厅来谋生。这种翻译方法不是不可以,但是如果翻译为解释性的语句可能会让人读起来比较轻松舒服。 | |
2 | 原句 | In order not to let Yong Hui get away with telling lies, Wang Peng spied on Yong Hui despite her glare. |
解析 | (1) in order to do是一个短语作目的状语:为了……。 (2) 非谓语的否定直接在其前面加not,比如:not to do/ not doing/ not done。 (3) get away with:侥幸成功,侥幸逃脱。with是介词,所以后面的动词tell要加ing变为动名词。 (4) despite是介词,后面直接接名词,并不是从属连词,不能加句子。 | |
3 | 原句 | So, Wang Peng, cut down the fat of your food and increase vegetables and fruits, like nuts, beans, mushrooms, peaches and lemons. |
解析 | (1) 并列连词连接了左右两边两个并列的谓语动词短语(谓语+宾语):cut down the fat of your food and increase vegetables和increase vegetables and fruits, like……。 (2) like是介词,“像”的意思,后面加名词或动名词。like如果是动词词性,则不能翻译为像,要翻译为喜欢。 (3) 翻译的时候需要结合语境的轻松、愉悦、紧张、严肃等情感进行灵活处理。这句话译为:”所以嘛,王鹏,你要减少你的食物中的脂肪含量,增加蔬菜和水果,例如坚果、豆类、蘑菇、桃子和柠檬之类的。“比如这里的so,译文翻译为“所以嘛”,而不是“所以”,这样翻译过来就很亲切和让人能够特别容易接受和理解。increase这个单词在译文中,它前面加了一个“你要”,这两个汉字在英文原句中是没有的,我们完全可以根据语句的意义灵活地进行增删一些文字,以保证自己非常梳理和容易地理解句子意思。总之翻译不要太死板。 |
1 | 不可数名词 | chicken可做可数名词和不可数名词,做不可数名词是“鸡肉”;做可数名词是“小鸡”。有很多的单词做可数与不可数的时候意义是不一样的,比如:people:不可数,意思为人民,如:There're many people in the park;可数,peoples,意思为民族,如:There're 56 peoples in China。再如:work 工作 works 著作;time 时间 times 时代/次数;room:空间(不可数),房间(可数);wood 木头(不可数),树林(可数)。 |
2 | and对称短语 | fewer and fewer:越来越少(修饰可数名词);less and less:越来越少(修饰不可数名词);more and more:越来越多(修饰可数或不可数);earlier and earlier:越来越早;bigger and bigger:越来越大;more and more/increasingly difficult:越来越困难。 |
3 | in+名词短语 | in+名词短语往往作副词意义:in surprise 吃惊地;in person 亲自地;in peace 和平地;in danger (处于)危险中;in debt 负债。 |
4 | 一词多义 | as有很多的意思和用法,具体有: (1) as连词,固定搭配as...as,意思是“和……一样”:My sister is as tall as me. 我姐姐和我一样高。 (2) as作连词,引导时间状语从句,意思是“当……的时候”:My mother was cooking fish as I arrived home. 当我到家的时候,我妈妈正在做鱼。 (3) as作连词,引导原因状语从句,意思是“因为”:As rain has fallen, the air is cooler. 因为下过雨,所以空气比较凉爽。 (4) as作连词,引导让步状语从句,意思是“虽然,尽管”:Young as he is, he has been one of the most famous painters in our country. 虽然他还很年轻,但已经成为我们国家最有名的画家之一。 (5) as做关系代词,引导定语从句:This is the same game as I played yesterday. 这和我昨天玩的游戏一样。 (6) as做介词,意思是“作为”:French is known as the most beautiful language in the world. 法语以世界上最美丽的语言著称。 |
too和either的区别 | either和too都可以当"也"讲,前者用在否定句中,后者用在肯定句中。 Lily likes fruit. I like fruit, too. 莉莉喜欢水果,我也是。 Lily doesn't like fruit. I don't like fruit, either. 莉莉不喜欢水果,我也不喜欢。 除此之外,它们还有各自的用法。 1. either表示二者之一。 We can go to either restaurant. I don't mind. 我们可以去两家饭店中的任何一家。我不在乎。 I haven't been to either of those restaurants. 我没去过那两家饭店中的任何一个。 2. either...or 或者....或者 I'm not sure where he is from. He's either Spanish or Italian. 我不敢肯定他是哪人。他或者是西班牙人,或者是意大利人。 too表示“太”,有超出极限无法忍受之意。 It's too hot in the room. I can't stay here. 房间里太热了。我简直待不下去了。 |
