容易誤譯的英語(yǔ):pay (one's) attentions to

pay (one's) attentions to這個(gè)詞語(yǔ)在特定語(yǔ)言環(huán)境下很容易使人誤譯，那么你覺(jué)得pay (one's) attentions to應(yīng)該怎么翻譯呢?pay (one's) attentions to的原意又是什么呢?

pay (one's) attentions to

［例句］　He likes to pay attentions to a lady.

［誤譯］　他喜歡注意 女士。

［原意］　他喜歡向女士獻(xiàn)殷勤 。

［說(shuō)明］　pay (one's) attentions to 意即“向……獻(xiàn)殷勤”。pay attention to才是“注意”。前者的attention用復(fù)數(shù)形式，后者用單數(shù)形式。可見，對(duì)名詞（尤其是習(xí)語(yǔ)中的名詞）之單復(fù)數(shù)不能掉以輕心。

pay one's debt to nature

見pay the debt of nature
