【正文】 城市, 罪惡之地。中華民族世代在亞洲大陸生活并繁衍，生活的方方面面都離不開(kāi)土地，所以他們對(duì)土地有一種特殊的感情。CLAUSE 2 : COMMODITY 第二條： 貨物Ore 鐵CLAUSE 3 : DELIVERY QUANTITY AND DELIVERY PERIOD 第三條 交貨數(shù)量和交付期限Quantity :WMT(+/10%)at

小于等于9%時(shí)。在語(yǔ)言中也潛移默化體現(xiàn)與土地的關(guān)系，如，漢語(yǔ)“揮金如土”，比喻鋪張浪費(fèi)，花錢大手大腳，而英語(yǔ)中則用“spend money like water” 此外，英語(yǔ)中有大量關(guān)于船和水的俗語(yǔ)和習(xí)語(yǔ)，而在漢語(yǔ)中卻找不到完全相同的對(duì)應(yīng)，如: “all at sea”（指不知所措）、“as close as an oyster”（指守口如瓶）、“drink like a fish”（指豪飲）等等。只有了解這一典故, 才能正確譯成：“我發(fā)現(xiàn)昨天買的東西外表好看卻實(shí)際無(wú)用。如果在翻譯的時(shí)候沒(méi)有這些文化內(nèi)涵作為根基，那么譯者也很難把真正的意思翻譯出來(lái)。這叫：魚(yú)從頭開(kāi)始發(fā)臭。s lot with sb決不是，絕對(duì)不 anything but盼望，期待 look forward to結(jié)果，因此

因而望子成龍，稱自己為龍的傳人；而在西方人的眼中, 龍卻是嘴里噴火的四足怪物, 在《圣經(jīng)》 里是罪惡的象征。三、生活習(xí)慣和習(xí)俗的差異與英語(yǔ)翻譯我們常說(shuō): “ 一方水土養(yǎng)一方人?！皷|風(fēng)”和“西風(fēng)”在中西文化中有著不同的解讀，這也是由國(guó)家的地理環(huán)境的差異造成的。而各個(gè)民族的生活環(huán)境和生活經(jīng)歷不同造成了他們所創(chuàng)造的文化之間也具有巨大差異，這種差異又造成了各自語(yǔ)言上的巨大差異。Dr Tomonori Nochi at the University

，財(cái)政部的御用稅收專家承認(rèn)增加商業(yè)稅負(fù)所反映的問(wèn)題遠(yuǎn)甚于公司利潤(rùn)的增長(zhǎng)，因此他們修正了先前對(duì)稅收的預(yù)測(cè)。s share of global inward foreign direct investment has fallen from per cent in 1990, to per

，改善機(jī)制，以確保教育培訓(xùn)能滿足澳大利亞社會(huì)及個(gè)人的需要。(D)“Wet basis” means Ore in its natural wet state.“濕噸”指的礦石的自然重量(E)“Dry basis” means Ore dried at 105 degrees Centigrade.“干噸”指的是105攝氏度干燥后的礦石。就拿中國(guó)和英國(guó)相比，以英國(guó)為例，英國(guó)四周環(huán)海，是一個(gè)典型的島國(guó)，并且在歷史上英國(guó)的航海業(yè)非常發(fā)達(dá)，曾一度領(lǐng)先于其他國(guó)家，因而英語(yǔ)中與海洋有關(guān)的詞語(yǔ)和表達(dá)就特別豐富。據(jù)圣經(jīng)《舊約如果把這幾句直接翻譯過(guò)來(lái)就會(huì)鬧出笑話：“Your daughter is beautiful.” “where, where.”所以在翻譯這類詞語(yǔ)時(shí)，譯者一定要考慮到不同的生活習(xí)俗對(duì)日常表達(dá)的影響，千萬(wàn)不能僵硬地采用直譯來(lái)傳達(dá)原文的意思。又例如，中文中常有：“好好學(xué)習(xí)，天天向上”之說(shuō)。s lead赤字 in the red就?而言 as far
