今天看到披頭士的let it be里有一句歌詞
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
let it be順其自然
我認(rèn)為真正的let it be是將糾結(jié)的過(guò)往隨風(fēng)逝,既然木已成舟,何必執(zhí)著于過(guò)去,懊悔暑假的種種頹廢耘柱,它既這樣發(fā)生了,也算是一場(chǎng)經(jīng)歷〔园現(xiàn)在要做的是拿起書(shū)本凤薛,專(zhuān)(專(zhuān)心)和鉆(鉆研)一膨。
So座泳,我便重新開(kāi)始讀上了經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人惠昔。
China篇(7.9)
一、Prostitution: Sin city
1. 首先要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是我們的主角:東莞(Dongguan)
2. 話題詞語(yǔ)了解一下
lewd jokes淫穢笑話
prostitute妓女挑势,男妓 prostitution賣(mài)淫
sex workers
pimp妓院男老板
condom(男用)避孕套
作案場(chǎng)所:saunas 镇防, massage parlour 桑拿房
karaoke bars
hair salon洗發(fā)沙龍
posh hotels 上流酒店
3. 出現(xiàn)在里面的值得記憶的同義詞:stamp out v.=crackdown n.鎮(zhèn)壓
看到saunas, karaoke bars,hair salon這些詞匯,我突然想起去年看的“從你的全世界路過(guò)”彭于晏說(shuō)薛耻,我的夢(mèng)想就是歌舞廳里只唱歌营罢,桑拿房里只洗澡。聽(tīng)到這句話饼齿,我男朋友還和我打趣說(shuō)難道不是這樣的嗎饲漾?其實(shí)在我眼中真的是這樣的。但對(duì)于社會(huì)管理者來(lái)說(shuō)缕溉,這就是難以實(shí)現(xiàn)的hope.只要貧富差距在考传,總有人為了營(yíng)生去做,也有人為了享樂(lè)去接受证鸥。再怎么打擊又或是想辦法使它legalise,都會(huì)有弊端出現(xiàn)僚楞,就像毒品一樣。
二枉层、The status of Taiwan
兩個(gè)翻譯需要了解一下
Chinese Taipei中華臺(tái)北
Taiwan China中國(guó)臺(tái)灣
關(guān)于更正航空公司的網(wǎng)站上列的有關(guān)于臺(tái)灣的標(biāo)簽
經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人的陳述如下:
? ? In April its civil aviation administration, CAAC, sent a letter to 44 of them, demanding that they specify Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau as being parts of China when including them in drop-down menus of countries on booking websites. Fair enough for Hong Kong and Macau, which are universally recognised as being Chinese territories. But CAAC wants Taiwan to be called "Taiwan, China", and maps to use the same colour for both the island and the people's Republic. That is a problem. The island calls itself an independent, sovereign state.
Civil Aviation Administration民航局
另外中方的另一步舉措
In May it deprived Taiwan of two members of its tiny band of diplomatic partners by establishing relations with Burkina Faso and the Dominican Republic (China does not allow countries to have formal ties with Taiwan and China at the same time).
(Burkina Faso布基納法索泉褐,西非內(nèi)陸國(guó)家,全部國(guó)土都位于撒哈拉沙漠南緣鸟蜡。
the Dominican Republic多米尼加共和國(guó)膜赃,通稱(chēng)多米尼加,是位于加勒比海的島國(guó)揉忘,與西側(cè)的海地共處于西班牙島跳座。)
在經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人中,對(duì)于Taiwan, China是這樣定義的
In theory, the island should have no objection to being called “Taiwan, China”. Its official name is the Republic of China and Taiwan is technically a province of that. But it worries that the word China is usually understood to mean the Communist-ruled entity that lays claim to Taiwan.
(強(qiáng)調(diào) lays claim to譯為堅(jiān)持對(duì)……的所有權(quán)泣矛;對(duì)……提出所有權(quán)要求)
文中出現(xiàn)了許多與爭(zhēng)議有關(guān)的詞
backlash n.強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)
feud n.(家族和團(tuán)體之間的)長(zhǎng)期不和疲眷,宿怨
blazed with rage顯現(xiàn)出憤怒的情緒
excoriate v.嚴(yán)厲指責(zé),痛罵
hysteria n.群眾狂熱情緒的爆發(fā)
disdain n./v.蔑視
spat n.口角您朽,小爭(zhēng)吵
fudge n.敷衍了事 v.回避狂丝,捏造
