中英之鑒 中式英語(yǔ)之鑒397

[誤] If your grandpa could see what you\'re doing now, he wouldn\'t have closed his eyes when he died.

[正] If your grandpa could see what you\'re doing now, he would turn over in his grave.

注：“死不瞑目”的意思是“死時(shí)尚存遺憾”或“靈魂得不到安息”。若將其直譯出來(lái)西方人很可能感到費(fèi)解，所以建議采取意譯的方式。除了上面的譯法，還可以用 die with everlasting regret 或 die discontent 等。
