中式英語之鑒:紅撲撲的臉

字號:

217. 小姑娘紅撲撲的臉上掛著微笑。
    [誤] The little girl\'s red cheeks are brightened by a smile.
    [正] The little girl\'s rosy cheeks are brightened by a smile.
    注:rosy cheeks 所指的紅潤臉頰展示著健康和美麗,而 red 是用來形容由害羞或窘迫引起的臉紅。如:He
    went red when I asked about his girlfriend.
    下面給出有關(guān) red 的翻譯:(For the time being, I cannot locate the post I posted on Rainlane months ago. I\'ll
    settle this later on.)
