< br>“eat”

以上几个词意思相 近,都边式快速地吃,可以互换。




4



munch


是出声地咀嚼,用力地 嚼

罗贯中



《水浒传》

5



chew


表示细嚼慢咽



Bite


表示齿类动物咬食



好比吃甘蔗,开头只是乱嚼一顿直到吃剩一节两节了,才慢慢地咬,慢慢地咀嚼,


舍不得糟


蹋一滴蔗汁。


(叶圣陶《一个练习生》




It was like eating sugarcane. You chomp away at first, but you bite slower and you chew slower


when there is only one or two sections left, grudging every drop of wasted juice.




.


但是,


在很多时候,





并不表示





这个动作的本意。

< p>
特别是汉民族崇尚



民以食为天

< br>”



其饮食文化历史之悠久,


内 容之丰富是举世皆知的,


由此而诞生出来的


< br>吃



字短语极为丰富。


而且,它 们大都脱离了




< br>的本意,而拥有自己的引申义。所以,在对这些习语进行英译时


不可逐字对应地硬 译,若把



吃苦


译成



“eat bitterness”




吃闲饭



译成



“have free meal”

< p>
就会闹出笑话。


既然是习语,


理解时应从整体上把 握其意义,


然后进行意译。


若能在英语中找到对应的成语或谚语 ,当然更好。



下面就分类讨论一下我们日常生活中的





字短语。



1.


对中国人而言,和




联系最紧密的当然是





,而由简单的 一个词



吃饭



,就滋生了各


式各样的







例如:吃江湖饭 ,吃生意饭,吃衙门饭,吃开口饭,吃百家饭,吃四方饭,吃现成饭,吃闲


饭,吃大锅饭 ,吃儿孙饭吃太平饭等。熟语中亦有



吃曹操的饭,做刘备的事





吃纣王 俸


禄,


不说纣王无道



等。


这些格式各样的




——




说法中,


除了源自民间习俗的



吃豆腐饭



(指有丧事)


——to express one’s



condolences to the bereaved and share in


the bean curd mea l


(是比较真实的



吃饭



之外,


其他的都是



子虚乌有




“< /p>





不过它们 的共同特征是这些





基本上和



过日子



有关,故翻译时要整体把握进行翻译。比如



吃衙门饭


”——


to


receive


a


salary from the government




吃开口饭


”——


to make a living as an entertainer




吃百家饭


”< /p>




吃四方饭


” ——


to live off donations from all quarte rs





吃 闲饭



是指不劳而获,


译成

< p>


“t


o lead


an idle life or to be a sponger”



这样一来,


它似乎和



吃现成饭



有些雷同,

但后者一般译成



“to


eat what is already prepared”


,或者更地道一点儿



“to enjoy the fruits of others’



work”


。再如
