數(shù)字如何準(zhǔn)確翻譯（通訊員供稿）
[ 2006-12-15 08:57 ]
英語中的有些數(shù)詞在漢譯時可以等值翻譯。但是，也有不少數(shù)詞在漢譯中不能等值翻譯，或者完全不用譯出來。這種翻譯處理方法是為了使?jié)h譯句子能符合漢語的表達(dá)習(xí)慣。以下分別舉例說明。
（1 ）等值翻譯

within a stone's throw 一箭之遙
ki11 two birds with one stone 一箭雙雕
A fall into the pit, a gain in your
wit. ．吃一塹，長一智。

by
ones and twos 三三兩兩地，零零落落地

你能便宜一點賣嗎？對不起，不還價。

bottle of the wine.他才喝了半瓶酒就醉得七歪八倒了。
（3 ）不必譯出
