注释:在马约卡(地中海西部西班牙的一个大岛屿)一家店里两个招牌上的英文,原意是"能说标准英语"及"我们能说美式英语",无论是拼法、语法还是词的用法上,都因受当地语言习惯的影响,使说英语的游客难以明白其意思。 因而成了"译林迷途"主题中最能说明问题的例子。
All this global gabble is best summarized by two signs in a Majorcan shop entrance: "English well talking"and"Here speeching American".
所以在我们的日常交际当中,我们需要注意语言的习惯使用,我们不仅要把英语学好,还要会把它使用在正确的场合。
So in our daily communication, we'd better pay much more attention to the habit usage of language, in the hope that we can not only learn English well but also use it in the correct situation.
英语是一种习惯表达方法很丰富的语言。
English is a language abounding with idiomatic terms of expression.
