【英语茶座01】搭配恰当是英文地道的前提——从“渗透”与infiltrate说起
|
||
|
昨天一整天都忙于本科毕业论文的答辩工作。很累，倒是对一篇本科论文的标题很感兴趣。汉语标题里含有“渗透文化知识”的字眼，英文标题里却相应地翻译成了“Infiltrating Cultural Knowledge”。看后，我大为惊奇：竟有这样的搭配。我遂发问，你知道infiltrate一词的含义吗？他解释道，是指导老师改的。 哈哈，这对师生全错啦。只要稍微抬手翻一下词典，就可探得infiltrate一词的究竟。查询dictionary.cambridge.org网站，即可得到如下解释： 1） to secretly become part of a group in order to get information or to influence the way that group thinks or behaves: A journalist managed to infiltrate the powerful drug cartel. 2）to move slowly into a substance, place, system or organization: At about this time the new ideas about 'corporate management' had begun to infiltrate (into) local government. 第一个义项显然是“使(思想、人员等)渗透”的意思，往往含有贬义，与中文中的“卧底”很像。第二个义项则是“使(液体等)透过,渗入”的意思，或者是“蔓延”之意。由此可见，“渗透文化知识”翻译为“infiltrating cultural knowledge”实在不妥。我们从中可以掂量搭配恰当的重要性和勤翻词典的必要性。 【思考题】  1.1 knowledge能跟learn这一动词搭配吗？若能，请从英文网站上给出实例。若不能，请列举可用的动词。 1.2 请寻找一部质量可靠的在线词典，查询permeate的含义，并注意permeate和infiltrate的异同。 [ Last edited by enineera on 2005-3-28 at 18:57 ] |

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English对infiltrate和permeate的解释分别如下： ============================================= in‧fil‧trate 1 [>intransitive always + adv/prep, transitive] to secretly join an organization or enter a place in order to find out information about it or harm it Police attempts to infiltrate neo-Nazi groups were largely unsuccessful. infiltrate into Rebel forces have been infiltrating into the country. 2 [transitive] to secretly put people into an organization or place in order to find out information or to harm it infiltrate somebody into something They repeatedly tried to infiltrate assassins into the palace. 3 [transitive] to become a part of something - used especially to show disapproval Commercialism has been infiltrating universities for the past decade. - infiltrator noun [countable] - infiltration noun [uncountable] ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ per‧me‧ate 1 [intransitive always + adverb/preposition, transitive] if liquid, gas etc permeates something, it enters it and spreads through every part of it The smell of diesel oil permeated the air. permeate through/into Rain permeates through the ground to add to ground water levels. 2 [transitive] if ideas, beliefs, emotions etc permeate something, they are present in every part of it Racism continues to permeate our society. An emotional intensity permeates every one of O'Connor's songs. 大家别看英汉词典或双解词典，自己看看能不能拿出汉语中的对应词（equivalent）？ [ Last edited by enineera on 2005-3-28 at 18:52 ] |
