中式英語(yǔ)之鑒:沉魚(yú)落雁，閉月羞花

268. 在他看來(lái)，她的美沉魚(yú)落雁，閉月羞花。
    [誤] In his eyes, her beauty would make fishes sink, wild geese fall, moon an flowers hide for shame.
    [正] In his eyes, her beauty would put the flowers to shame.
    注：“沉魚(yú)落雁，閉月羞花”典出我國(guó)古代的四大美女，直譯出來(lái)大多數(shù)外國(guó)人難以理解，所以不如選擇一個(gè)他們?nèi)菀桌斫獾脑~，而不必重復(fù)。
