  • 工作学习 / 外语学习 / 求:怎么翻:没有金刚钻,别揽瓷器活。
    • 先想起这句英语谚语:If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
      • copy你的这句网上搜了后,认为这是最贴切的了。意思全在那。牛!谢了。
        • 晚安!希望俺正在下的这盘围棋能赢。
    • 这句直译成英语,肯定不妥:Don't try to mend porcelain wares unless you've got a diamond cutter.
    • 看来只好意译:Don't undertake a hard job if you don't have the necessary skills for it.
    • Commitment with capability
      • 俺很喜欢看到大家都来积极发言。出错,总是难免的。—— 编纂一部词典(即使是牛津)也会出错。
        • 有勘误就行。
          • 想当年,俺还在中土的时候,就没少给商务印书馆、外研社指出错误、纠错、改错(印刷错误不算)。只不过,俺很早就发现搞学术不怎么来钱,遂弃文从商。
            • 嘛是中土?
              • 中国。
                • 我比较喜欢三联。
                  • 三联,出的外文书不多。
                    • 我二十多岁才开始学英语,那之前就是毛主席万岁之类的句子。
                      • 俺今年五十有余,您会比俺年长?
                        • 本命年
            • 唉~, Past it !(廉颇老矣!)

              • Jealous? Beat him if you can.
                • 反诈骗是刑警吧,打不过啊。。。
                  • 不是警察(#1352853@9)。
              • (#8779080@0)
    • 1. Don't take on a task requiring resources that you don't have.
      2. Don't take on more than you can handle.
      3. Don't bite off more than you can chew.

      The last two are a little bit far fetched.
      • 请教 far fetched 中文怎么理解?
        • 牵强
          • "Fetch" is very british, heard it a lot in Downton Abby, I'm wonder if there is an equivalent in American English for "Far-fetch"
            • "Far fetched" is a fairly common expression here in Canada although "fetch" is more of a British term.
              • I memorized this phrase in GRE books many years ago, after that, rarely saw it in TV, news papers, until recently heard it a lot in Downton Abby. but can't think of a similar American phrase
      • 信 达 雅
        ?
    • Don't bite off more than you can chew.
    • no diamond, no wedding ....
    • "没有金刚钻,别揽瓷器活。"中的"金刚钻",实指是工具,虚指是技能——尤其是特殊的技能;同样,"瓷器活",虚指需要特殊技能才能胜任的工作。
      • 所以,白鹿 的翻译 Don't take on a task requiring resources that you don't have. ( #8774538@0) 就显得更像是解释性的译法。
    • 怎么个翻译“啊呜乱冒充金刚钻“呢?
      • droopy dick?
    • do what u can do
