中英之鑒 中式英語(yǔ)之鑒27

　　[誤] Doingshi imitates Xishi.

　　[正] The ugly imitates the beautiful in such a distorted way that the ugliness of the ugly becomes worse.

　　注：把原文按照字面意思直譯過(guò)來(lái)，恐怕只有中國(guó)人能夠理解。要想讓外國(guó)人明白這個(gè)中國(guó)成語(yǔ)，就要對(duì)譯文

　　進(jìn)行解釋性加工了。同樣，“情人眼里出西施”不是 Xishi is in the eye of the beholder，而是Beauty is in the eye of the beholder。
