　　第三个“C”为contest（上下文）。上下文会影响词的意义，笔者曾讨论过不同上下文中词义截然相反的情况（本报2003.10.3）。当然，广义的contest还包括场合。例如，“生意兴隆通四海，财源茂盛达三江”可以简单地表达为“Farandwidetradebooms；hereandtheremoneycomes”，但在正式场合译为“Homeandabroadbusinessthrives；hitherandthitherprofitarrives”更好，因为这样用词较为庄重和古雅（hitherandthither是hereandthere在古英语中的说法）。　　第四个“C”为culture（文化），这需要考虑使用不同语言的人的思维方式、风俗习惯和可能的心理反应等因素。例如，东西方对狗的情感态度不同，狗在西方并不像在东方一样可鄙。英语中“dog-eat-dog”并不像汉语中“狗咬狗”一样带有鄙夷甚至幸灾乐祸的感情色彩，而是强调残酷甚至有点痛惜。这一差异在英译汉的时候尤其应该重视。口译时若把“asfaithfulasadog”译为“像狗一样忠实”很容易引起东方人的反感，活译为“像老黄牛一样忠诚”则效果会好得多。又如，海燕（stormpetrel）在中、俄两国是进步和新锐力量的象征，但在西方经济界则指引起恐慌和震荡的人或事物，因此可以视具体情况用pioneer，vanguard，gazelle或bellwether等词替代。手机相关英语词汇Bluetooth：蓝牙技术（无线耳机接听）Wi-Fi：wirelessFidelity无线保真（即“小灵通”所采用的技术）Hi-Fi：HighFldelity高保真3-G：GenerationThree第三代PHS：PersonalHandyphoneSystem个人手提移动电话系统Walkie-Talkie：步话机GoTone：全球通GPS：GlobalPositioningSystem全球定位系统Monternet：Mobile+Internet移动梦网GPRS：GeneralPacketRadioService通用分组无线业务SMS：ShortMessageService短信服务MMS：Multi-mediaMessagingService多媒体信息服务SIM卡：SubscriberIdentityModule客户身份识别卡GSM：GlobalSystemForMobileCommunications全球移动通信系统

efforts。就不必遗憾，毕竟，Mansupposes,goddisposes.9.Isthatso?真是那样吗？常用在一个人听了一件事后表示惊讶、的怀疑。10.Don"tplaygameswithme!别跟我耍花招！11. Idon"tknowforsure.我不确切知道。Sranger:Couldyoutellmehowtogettothetownhall?Tom: Idon"tknowforsure.Maybeyoucouldaskthepolicemanoverthere.12.I"mnotgoingtokidyou.我不是跟你开玩笑的。Karin:Youquitthejob?Youarekidding.Jack:I"mnotgoingtokidyou.i"mserious.13.That"ssomething.太好了，太棒了。A:I"mgrantedafullscholarshipforthissemester.B:Congratulations.That"ssomething.14.Brilliantidea!这主意真棒！这主意真高明！15.Doyoureallymeanit?此话当真？Michael:Wheneveryouareshortofmoney,justcometome.David:Doyoureallymeanit?16.Youareagreathelp.你帮了大忙17. Icouldn"tbemoresure.我再也肯定不过。18. Iambehindyou.我支持你。Whateverdecisionyou"regoingtomake, Iambehindyou.19.I"mbroke.我身无分文。 Iampenniless.20.Mindyou!请注意！听着！(也可仅用mind。)模范例句：Mindyou!He"saverynicefellowthoughbad-tempered.21.Youcancountonit.你尽管相信好了，尽管放心。A:Doyouthinkhewillcometomybirthdayparty?B:Youcancountonit.22. Ineverlikeditanyway.我一直不太喜欢这东西。当朋友或同事不小心摔坏你的东西时就可以用上这句话给他一个台阶，打破尴尬局面：Oh,don"tworry.I"mthinkingofbuyinganewone. Ineverlikeditanyway.23.Thatdepends.看情况再说。(onsth) 例：Imaygototheairporttomeether.butthatdepends.24.Congratulations.恭喜你，祝贺你。25.Thanksanyway.无论如何我还是得谢谢你。当别人尽力要帮助你却没帮成时，你就可以用这个短语表示谢意。26.It"sadeal.一言为定Harry:Haven"tseenyouforages.Let"shaveaget-togethernextweek.Jenny:It"sadeal电影里经常听到，It"sadeal,Thatisagooddeal.或是两个人打算达成某个协议或是做成某个生意会说：Deal?Deal!部分国家及城市的英语雅称Athens(雅典)：TheCityOfJasmines(茉莉花城)Berne(伯尔尼)：TheCityOfClocksAndWatches(钟表城)Brazil(巴西)：TheCountryOfCoffee(咖啡国)Canada(加拿大)：TheCountryOfMapleLeaves(枫叶国)Ecuador(厄瓜多尔)：TheEquatorialCountry(赤道国)Egypt(埃及)：TheCountryOfThePyramids(金字塔国)Ethiopia(埃塞俄比亚)：TheBarefootCountry(赤足国)Ghana(加纳)：TheCountryOfCocoa(可可国)Guba(古巴)：TheCountryOfSugarcane(甘蔗国)Japan(日本)：TheCountryOfCherries(樱花国)Jerusalem(耶路撒冷)：TheHolyCity(圣城)Lima(利马)：TheCityOfDrought(干旱城)London(伦敦)：TheCityOfFog(雾都)Lusaka(卢莎卡)：TheCityOfCopper(铜城)

Allsecretsmayeventuallycometolight.(所有祕密最后总会曝光。)也可以说：Eventually,everysecretwillbedisclosed.·这山望到那山高有人译成：Theapplesontheothersideofthewallarethesweetest.（意思是：墙那边的苹果最甜）当然，如要译成：Ifyoustandonamountain,youfeelthedistantmountainseemshigherthanyours.老外也勉强能接受。而他们的最习惯说法是：Thegrassalwayslooksgreenerontheotherside.（另一边的草，看来总是绿些。）·烈火炼真金，患难见真情有人译成：Fireisthetestofgold；adversityisthetestoffriendship.这句译文，虽然很好，老外也能了解，但是他们还有另外的说法：Liquorbringsoutaperson"struecolor.（烈酒能显示一个人真正的特色）或者说：Winerevealsaperson"strueheart.虽然老外不用“烈火炼真金”的比喻，但有“路遥知马力”的说法：Byalongroad,weknowahorse"sstrength；attimesofdifficulty,wediscoverafriend"struecharacter.·雷声大，雨点小有人译为：Thethunderroarsloudly,butlittlerainfalls.或者说：Allwehearisthunder,butnorainfalls.虽然这样直译比较容易理解，但是老外的说法是这样的：Actionsspeaklouderthanwords.(行动胜于言谈)或Allweheariswords,butthereisnoaction.（只动嘴不动手）或Actionsandwordsshouldgohandinhand.(言行必须一致)另外，还有英语里还有这样的说法：Anemptybarrelmakesbiggestsound.（空洞的话说得太多了。）·人不可貌相，海水不可斗量有人译为：Amancannotbeknownbyhislook,norcantheoceanbemeasuredbya dipper.这样的译法只是直译，如果能够稍加修改，老外就能了解：Amancannotbejudgedbyhisappearance,norcanthewaterintheseabemeasuredbyabucket.不过，老外通常的说法是这样的：Wecannotjudgeapersonbyappearanceonly.或Youcannotjudgeabookbyitscover.(意思是：一本书的好坏取决于它的内容，而不是它的封面装帧的漂亮与否。)·口蜜腹剑，笑里藏刀有人译为Hismouthishoney;hisheartisasword.外国人听了会对这样的比喻摸不着头脑，如果要形容某人“口蜜腹剑，笑里藏刀”，我们可以说withhoneyonone"slipandmurderinone"sheart,或者honey-mouthedbutdagger-hearted.也可以更直接的译成Heisanevilmanwhohasamouththatpraisesandahandthatkills.·少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲有人译成Ifyouneglectstudywhenyouareyoung,whatmayhappentoyouroldage?这句问句会把老外问得云里雾里，因为他们沒有“学而优则仕”的思想，也不认为功课差，将来就会伤悲。他们劝告子女经常说的是Studying/workinghardcanleadyoutoabrighter/morepromisingfuture.(努力用功会带给你光明的前程。)当然也可以对年轻人说：Studyhardwhenyouareyoung.Itwillpayoffwhenyougetolder.(年轻时好好努力，到老的时就会觉得学有所值。)·学如行舟，不进则退如果直译成：Learningislikerowingupstream;nottoadvanceistodropback.老外听后，也许会感到一头雾水。这样修改一下，表达可以清晰一些：Learningseemslikerowingupstream(逆流);ifonedoesnotadvance,onewillfallback.Learningislikerowingagainstthecurrent(激流),ifonedoesnotadvance,onewillretreat.更直接的说法是：Ifyoudon"tmakeprogress,youwillfallbehind.·一日为师，终身为父有这样的译法：Hewhoteachesmeforonedayismyfatherforlife.Ifyouaremyteacherforevenoneday,youwillbemyteacher(mentor)allmylife.Hewhoteachesmemaybeconsideredmyfather-figureforlife. 这几种译法意思都是“老师即使对我只有一天的教诲，也会让我一生都受用不尽。”外国人也有他们表达师生关系的谚语，如：Teachotherstofishandtheywillfishforalifetime.(授人以鱼，不如授人以渔)Giveamanfish,hewillhaveameal;teachhimtofish,hewillhavefoodallhislife.·忠言逆耳，良药苦口有人译成Faithfulwordsarecontrarytotheears;goodmedicinetastesbittertothemouth.也有人反译为：Bitterwordsaremedicine;sweetwordsbringillness.Goodadviceoftenjarsontheears;bitterpillshavegoodeffects.这些说法，老外也会“一知半解”，不如直接一点说成：Honestadvicemaybedistastefultotherecipient.Honestadviceishardtoaccept.Truthisahardpilltoswallow.更简单的说就是：Truthhurts.·近墨者黑，近朱者赤有人直译为：onewhostaysnearvermiliongetsstainedred,andonewhostaysnearinkgetsstainedblack.(vermilion是朱砂或鲜红色的意思)也有人译成：Whenyoutouchblack,youbecomeblack;whenyoutouchred,youbecomered.这种说法，恐怕老外一时无法理解真正含意。不过他们倒有这么说：Onetakesthebehaviorofone"scompany.(一个人的行为，往往受到朋友的影响。)或Onetakesontheattributesofone"sassociates.(attributes复数時是指品质、特性；associates指朋友、同事)简单的说，就是：Watchthecompanyyoukeep!(小心交朋友！)或者也可以说成:Ashewholieswithdogswillridewithfleas,howcouldyoursonlearnanythinggoodbymixingwiththosepeople?(你儿子跟那些人混在一起,能学出个好来?)　流行英语词汇排行榜
