看过这一套经典的Chinglish，小伙伴们是否都快笑翻了？学了新单词了解意思却不知该咋用，一个不小心你就会闹出貌似说得过去，其实愈加逗比的 Chinglish笑话。下面这类Chinglish已得正解，小伙伴们不如先试一试自己会如何翻，再看答案！
1.萝卜青菜，各有所爱。
[误] Some prefer radish but others prefer cabbage.
[正] Tastes differ.
注：Tastes differ/vary 是句英语谚语，除此以外，原句还可翻译成 No dish suits all tastes 或 You can never make everyone happy 等。
2. 他一向嘴硬，从不认错。
[误] He has always got a hard mouth and never admit a fault.
[正] He never says uncle.
注：say uncle: to give up or in; to surrender; to admit defeat. Mainly used by boys, as when fighting。主如果男生们打架时的用语，当一方想制服另一方时，就用命令的口气说：“Say uncle!”这个时候，有些孩子为了表示不服输，就是不说。后来，say uncle 就成了“服输”的代名词，而 not say uncle就等于“嘴硬”了。
3. 这个教授教得非常烂。
[误] The professor teaches badly.
[正] The professor is so terrible.
注：有人觉得第二句的意思是“这个教授非常可怕”，其实不然。英语中 terrible 意思非常灵活，比如：feel terrible 指身体“不舒服”； The food is terrible 则是说食物“难吃极了”。而第一句纯属中文式的表达。
4. 大家这儿的人都感觉他有婚外恋。
[误] People around here all feel that he has affairs outside his own marriage.
[正] People around here all feel that he is leading a double life.
注：affair 本身就指“私通”或“暧昧关系”，当然是“婚外”的事，所以 outside one's own marriage 无疑是画蛇添足了。英语中“有婚外恋”的地道说法应该是 lead a double life。
5. 别看其他人不把她当回事，在家她可是爸爸的掌上明珠.
[误] Although other people never take her seriousy, she is the pearl on her father's hand at home。
[正] Although other people never take her seriousy, she is the apple of her father's eye at home。
注： 中英文常用不一样的喻体表明相同的喻义，“掌上明珠”与 the apple of one's eye 就是一个非常不错的例子。这样的情况大家一般应尊重各国文化和风俗，翻译时取目的语的固定说法，而不必直译，这能够帮助将意思更有效地传达给读者。the apple of one's eye 来源于圣经《旧约》，当时大家用apple指人的瞳孔。尽管瞳孔目前已经用 pupil 来表示，不再是 apple 了，但这一使用方法却延续了下来。
6. 我期望你不要拖我的后腿。
[误] I hope that you won't pull my leg.
[正] I hope that you won't hold me back.
注：pull one's leg 是“愚弄某人，开某人的玩笑”的意思，等于 make fun of sb.。英语中与“拖后腿”相对应的表达是 hold sb. back 或 be a drag on sb. 等。
7. 嘿，小伙子，千万不要灰心。
[误] Hey, lad, don't lose your heart.
[正] Hey, lad, don't lose heart.
注：lose one's heart 是“心被……被俘虏去，爱上……”的意思，而lose heart才表示”灰心丧气，丧失勇气或信心”。
8. 大家两个关系最好，他常常来我这儿白吃百喝。
[误] We are best friends. He always comes here to have meals for free.
[正] We are best friends. He always comes here to bum meals off me.
注：第一句只表明“他常到我这儿来白吃白喝”，但朋友这间那种亲密关系没体现出来。而 bum sth. off sb. 指向很熟的朋友要一些不起眼的小东西，而朋友也不会在意还不还。
9. 原来是这样。你一讲解我就了解了。
[误] So it is. I understand soon after your explanation.
[正] So that's how it is. I understand soon after your explanation.
注：So it is 的意思是“的确这样”，它是用来表示对他们看法的同意的。比如：
A: It is a fine day today!
B: So it is。
而在表达恍然大悟时，英文要用 So that's how it is 或 So that explains it, 或更简单地道的说法 Oh, I see。
10. 干杯！要一饮而尽。
[误] ---Cheers! Bottom up.
[正] ---Cheers! Bottoms up.
注： bottoms up 虽然只比 bottom up 多一个 s，但两个词组的意思却相差十万八千里。bottoms up 里的 bottom 是指“（酒杯的）底部”，那样杯朝天就是“一饮而尽”的意思，而且由于干杯时一定不止一人一饮而尽，所以要用复数；而 bottom up 表示“屁股朝天”。
