原文:
-Do you like some music?
-Some.
译文[误]:-你喜欢音乐吗?
-有一点儿.
译文[正]:-你喜欢音乐吗?
-非常喜欢.
[辩误]
译文中显然是弄错了Some的意义.
我们知道Some用于修饰单数名词,意为某个、某一.
当用于修饰复数名词或不可数名词,意为若干、一些；一点；少量的.
但原句里Some为副词,意思是"很,非常".
与此类似的还有something.如:He drinks something fierce.他喝酒喝的很厉害.
此外,Some还有很多词义,形容词有6项,代词3项,副词3项.
所以,我们在翻译的时候一定首先要搞清楚词性,才不至于把意思弄错.
Some的复合词,somebody除了"某人"的意思外,还有"重要人物"的意思.
He always thinks himself somebody.
所以,原句可以翻译成:他一直自以为了不起.
