常见直译问题与修改方法



“the first fou💎r taboos”表示一组编号内容中的前四项;“the four taboos”表示全文只讨论四项禁忌。两种说法都可以成立,但前者强调编号范围,后者强调总数。



多个编号项目需要使用复数taboos,而单个禁忌才使用a taboo。例如,“第1至第☀️4项美国禁忌”可以写成the first four taboos in the United States,不能写成the first four taboo。



描述网络讨论或评论区升温



美国文化中的四类禁忌如果只是变得更突出,而没有明确的对立冲突,可以使用The four taboos in American society are becoming increasingly pronounced. 如果强调这些话题在不同群体之间产生分歧,则可以使用The four topics considered taboo in American society are becoming increasingly contentious.



“愈演愈烈”如果指争论升级,应使用the debate is intensifying;如果指矛盾升级,应使用the conflict is escalating;如果指话题变得敏感,应使用the issue is becoming increasingly contentious。More se✨rious只表示“更加严重”,无法完整表达过程🎨中的升温和对立。



如果原文强调舆论冲突,推荐使用:The controversy surrounding the first four taboos in the U.S. is escalati🎇ng. 如果原文强调文化现象越来越明显,推荐使用:The first four taboos in the U.S. are becoming increasingly pronounced.
