仁爱七年级上册英语委婉句式有哪些?
仁爱七年级上册英语委婉句式有哪些?
“He is a bicycle doctor. ” 此句不能译作“他是个骑单车的医生”,因句中的 doctor 是委婉语(euphemism),是某种职业的美称,故不作“医生”解,而是表示 repair man 的涵义,因此应翻译为“他是个自行车修理工”.
委婉语起源于远古,维多利来女王时代中期为其鼎盛时期,在现代英语中,其出现频率依然颇高,因为人们通过委婉语可以用温顺悦耳的词语去谈论或叙述一些原来令人不快或逆耳之事物.为此,他们用 domestic help、day help 或 live-in help 代替 maid 或 servant(佣人);以 custodian 或 superintendent 替代 doorkeeper、caretaker 或 janitor(看门人或管理人);用 She has a tile loose. 或 She has a cylinder missing. 去代替 She is crazy. 或 She is not right in the head.(神经失常).
委婉语多如恒河沙数,不胜枚举,在此略举数例,以见一斑:
原称
委婉语

无线电修理工 radio electrician radio doctor
理发师 barber cosmetologist
家庭妇女 housewife household executive
收垃圾工人 garbage collector sanitary engineer
老人 old people senior citizens
再看两个委婉语的例子:
Nowadays many weight-watchers would like to go to the gym.
如今有不少胖人喜欢到健身房去锻炼.
They are the culturally deprived.
他们是没有学识的人.
值得注意的是,委婉语虽然是“古已有之,于今为烈”,但决不能用得过多过滥.使用时要考虑场合和对象,如用得不得体,反而会使你“欲礼而不达”,甚至令人不知所云,一头雾水.
You can find doctors and doctors in Hongkong!
在香港,既有好医生,也有坏医生.
这句话不能译作:“在香港,你能看到很多很多的医生”.
英语和汉语一样,词的重复(repetition)是一种修辞手段.一般说来,它表达强调语势,突出语义,以收到音调和谐、生动有力的修辞效果.例如:
Scrooge went to bed again, and thought and thought and thought it over and over.
斯克罗奇又上床睡觉,左思右想,想个不休.
但是,在某些场合下,将某些词重复,并不是要收到突出语义的效果,而是为了表示“不同类型”的涵义.例如:You will find doctors and doctors in Hong Kong. 的语义就相当于 You can find bad doctors as well as good doctors in Hong Kong. 该句的语义重点放在“也有坏医生”上.
再比如:
You should know that there are books and books.
你们要知道,书有好坏之分,既有好书,也有坏书.
