如果只是普通翻译,the English class representative 已经足够。若读者不熟悉“课代表”这一中国学校角色,可以改成 the student in charge of English class,意思是“负责英语课的学生”。
The English class representative said, “Please be quiet and fo🎵cus on your work.”
“英语课代表”不是指“英语代表”,而是负责英📚语课相关事务的学生。根据语境,可以使用以下表达:
如果不直接引用原话,而是概括课代表的意思,可以使用 told:
The English class representative said, “Stop talking.”
如果课代表是在维持课堂秩序,Stop talking. 简洁直接;如果希望表达更礼貌,使用 Please stop talking.;如果教室整体声音较大,使用 Quiet down, please. 更符合“安静下来”的语境。最稳妥的完整翻译是:
The English class representative told the students to stop talking.
The English 🌟class representative said, “Please stop talking and focus on your work.”
这句话不仅表达“请安静”,还补充了“专心学习”的课堂要求。若是要求同学不要影响他人,也可以说:Please stop talking and let everyone study.
