欢迎大家跟贴翻译，请高手参与修改，下周五(7月7日)公布范文。 坐出租 在北方土生土长的刘立，大学毕业后分配到南方工作。这天回北方休完探亲假回来，在火车站上了“的士”。司机见他外地口音，觉得可以大捞一把，就开着车故意兜圈子。于是刘立就说：“师傅，你是新来的吧？” 司机说：“什么话，我从小就出生在这里。” 刘立仍不相信：“我看你不像，至少你对这里不熟悉。” 司机来了气：“我要不熟还能跑出租？” “既然这样，”刘立反问，“那你干吗有近路不走，要走远道？！” 【汉译英每周一贴】系列之一 —— 校园谐趣 http://muchong.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=267687&fpage=2 活动发起贴： http://muchong.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=267147&fpage=1 大家翻译的都很好，看看范文吧，共同提高  参考译文 In a taxi Liu Li was born and brought up in the North. After graduation from a college, he was assigned to work in the South. That day he came back after his home leave. He got into a taxi at the railway station. Detecting his passenger’s accent, the driver thought it was his chance of fleecing the passenger. So he deliberately made detours. Thereupon Liu said, “Sir, you must be new here.” “Nonsense! I was born here.” “You don’t seem to be one of the natives,” said Liu, sounding incredulous. At least, you don’t know the place well.” “If so, how can I be a taxi driver?” the driver said with anger. “If you know the place, why are you taking a circuitous route when there is a short-cut?” Liu retorted.

Liu Li, north born and north bred, was assigned to the south to work after graduation. One day, he returned from his home leave. He took a cab at the train station. Noticing his nonlocal accent, the driver thought he could profiteer, so he drove round on purpose. " Excuse me, sir, you are new to here, aren't you?" asked Li. " You are kidding me. I am a native resident." answered the driver. But Liu Li did not believe this yet. " Well, it seems you are not. At least you are not familiar with here. " " How can I drive a cab if I am unfamiliar with here?" responsed the driver angrily. " If so," asked Liu Li in reply " why are you taking the long route, since there is a shorter one? " 基于lisazhl的版本，请指正！ [ Last edited by cooboo on 2006-6-30 at 15:22 ] |

Take A Taxi Liuli is north native-born ,he was alloted to the south for work.This day he came back from home after his holiday.He got in a taxi near the railway station.The driver found his accent different ,so he drived around for more money.Then, Liuli said to him"Hi man,you came here recently?" The driver said"Why?I was born here." Liuli didn't believe him and said"It looks not right, at least you're not familiar with the roads here." The driver got angry "How can I drive a taxi if I am not famiar with it?" "If it's true,why do you drive along a long way instead of the short cut"asked Liuli 第一次发帖子，重在参与，请高手指教，多多支持。  |

allot 一般指分配东西给某人 assign：assign sb a job/duty/task assign sb to.. eg. he has been assigned to the Asian Affairs Bureau. 所以这里用assign 好一点呵呵 一般不说this day，除非强调特定的这一天 drived－drove （粗心了吧？呵呵） you came here recently 表达不是很清楚 不如改为are you a new-comer? or are you new here? 强调询问司机是否对此地陌生。 Why?I was born here. 这句话我喜欢呵呵 It looks not right, at least you're not familiar with the roads here. How can I drive a taxi if I am not famiar with it roads 和it 前后不一致，另外right 可以去掉，或干脆换成：it seems not why do you drive along a long way instead of the short cut 习惯说drive along the street /road 继续努力哦 等着斑竹嘉奖吧！呵呵 （你也叫lisa啊？呵呵） |
