翻譯例句:
I really do not think Georgiana Darcy has her equal for beauty. (Chapter 21)
我認為論美貌,無人能比上喬治安娜。
詞語解析:
Have sb.'s equal for beauty,可以表示“美貌無人能敵”的意思,equal這里做名詞,意為“(地位)相等的人或事”;按照這個句型,我們還可以說:have sb.'s equal forintelligence/courage/talent……
漢譯英:
1.整個登山隊里,他是最有經(jīng)驗的一個。
He can't find his equal for experience among the mountainteers.
2.論成績,全班也就只有你能與他相提并論。
No one else but you could be his equal for academic performance.
3.Mariah Carey極具歌唱天賦,是一個無與倫比的偉大歌手。
Mariah Carey is a great singer. No one can be her equal for talent.
4.金庸筆下美女眾多,而香香公主尤其出眾,無可堪比。
Among all the beautiful women in Jinyong's works, there is no equal for beauty of such as Princess Xiangxiang possesses.
我們也可以用match這個詞來表達“匹敵”的意思:I'm no match for her in this field.在這個領域我不是她的對手。在語氣上,match有“敵對”的含義,而equal這里只有互相比較的意思。所以還是有不同之處的,運用的時候要注意區(qū)分哦。
