※ 引述《erickin (阿更)》之铭言： : 最近自己在翻译Jeffery Archer的短篇小说"An Eye for An Eye" : 遇到几句不太会翻... : 烦请各位擅长英译中的大大帮忙看一下^^ : 1. I was chopping up some wood for the stove before I prepared my breakfast. : 在准备早餐前，我砍了一些木头，要放到火炉里烧的。 : (觉得自己这句的翻译有点累赘) 在做早餐前，我劈了些之後炉灶要用的柴火。 : 2. My husband thought it was rats, so he told me to get a large quantity of : strychnine to finish them off. "Once and for all" were his own words. : 「我丈夫猜是老鼠造成的，所以他叫我买很多番木虌硷回来，把牠们杀死。 : 『一劳永逸』是他讲过的话。」 : (这边我是不确定"once and for all"的翻法) 就是这个意思。 : 3. He knew his timing had to be exact, because he had become uncomfortably : aware that he was dealing not only with a clever woman, but also an : extremely cunning one. Mind you, he reflected, anyone who had lived for 11 : years with such a man as Bruce Banks would have had to be cunning simply to : survive. : 他知道时机一定要抓得很准，因为他不自在地察觉到，他面前的这个女人不但 : 聪明，而是非常狡猾。不过，他後来想想，要能跟布鲁斯这种男人一起生活十 : 一年绝对要有点本事，狡猾成了她的生存之道。 : (这句我翻了很久都觉得翻不好，特别是後面部份...) : 麻烦大家指教了.... 他知道时机一定得抓准，因为他不自在地意识到，眼前要对付的这个女人不但聪明而且 极为狡诈。但话说回来，要和布鲁斯．班克这样的男人在一起过上十一年，不奸诈点根 本活不下去。 以上，除 2. 外纯粹乱入。 囧rz --
