每日一句英译英:He is a self-made million-aire
学英语需要十年八年漫长煎熬,所以,我们不妨把我们学习的起点调高一些。
这调高的起点,就是:学英语就是要用英语学英语。
用英语学英语,基本就是训练出你是在英语同义词或同义表达之间互相选择,互为解释互为理解的能力,而不是“指向”中文“以示理解”。
比如,英语He is s self-made millionaire,不是中文“白手起家”,而是在self-made的英语同义词句中互相理解。Self-made有大把可以用来理解的英语,何必中文?
1) Examples
1. His father is a self-made businessman with an interest in golf=,and he is interest in =shows great interest in playing golf in his free/spare time=his hobby is playing golf when he is free.
2. I love him,I admire him.He is a self-made man.
3. Do you believe in the stories that everyone can be a self-made man in society?
2) 英译英及口语
1. Okay.I got you.If you say He is a self-made millionaire,or he is a self-made man,or businessman,you mean He has achieved success=become successful,or very rich by his own efforts=by his own hard work.
2.So,you can say He is a self-made entrepeneur(ent-rep-eneur)=businessman,you can also say He is an ent-rep-eneur,and he has become successful by his own hard work=efforts.
3.Okay.I got you. Self-made men means they started life,or their career without money, education.
4.A self-made man also means you started with nothing,or from nothing in your life,or in your career.
说self-made 未免big word了一点,说small word to start from nothing,or with nothing吧。
5.We can also say He is a self-made million-aire,starting out from nothing.
6.He is a successful businessman today.But he is a rags-to-riches businessman=a self-made businessman.
有了用英语学英语,我们再也不会只在self-made这一棵树上吊死。
学会了用英语学英语,学会了在英语同义词之间互相选择互为理解,就好比拿着一挺机枪扫射,你从一个点打出的,是一个宽阔的,而且是越远越宽阔的三角形扇面,把前面的英语解释,英语同义词词句通通收割殆尽,“收割甚丰”。
用中文学英语呢?火力再猛也只能打出一条直线来。
高手会用机枪扫射打出扇面,而不是用步枪点射。
