蒲熠星说英语 英语翻译: 蒲熠星电视英语对话
A. 中文:有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎。（出自《论语》）
Pu: A friend from far away, you have to be happy.
[AA: “A friend from far away” 是不合语法的破句, 最低限度一个改为 “When a friend from far away comes to visit…”
Chen: It is my pleasure to meet friends from distant places (/countries).
[AA: Perfect. Goo job. “distant place” 可以简化为 “afar”]
B. 中文：我很危险。
Pu: I'm so dangerous.
[AA: 意思是 “我是危险人物”，不是 “我是处于危险情况”]
Chen: I'm in great danger.
[AA: Perfect]
C. 中文：这个东西是用来干什么的？如果我吃了这个（苹果），我将变成白雪公主。
Pu: So what is this for? If I eat it, I will be like a Snow White.
[AA: “like” 是 “像”, 不是 “变成”, 词不达意]
Chen: What does this mean? If I eat this (apple), I will become Snow White.
[AA: 你的翻译100%准确反映中文词句；但中文句子逻辑有问题，第二句应该是疑问假定情况而不是陈述将会发生的事实;
我会写为: 这东西是什么鬼？如果我吃了这个 (苹果)，我会变成白雪公主吗?
What the heck is this (thing/piece of s-h-i-t)? If I eat it, would I turn into Snow White?]
D. 中文：我们队伍中原来有5人（including Pu himself)。其中2人被（“猎人”，游戏中的抓捕者）抓了。
Pu: We used to have five teammates, and two has been caught.
[AA: “has” 应该是 “have”]
Chen: At the beginning of the game (TV show), there were five members in our team. However, two teammates were caught by the hunters.
[AA: 你的翻译100%准确但用词可以简化, 口语越简短越好, 考虑:
Our team started with 5 guys, but two were caught.]
E. 中文：我们2个队友已经被（猎人）抓（淘汰）了。其中一位是第一次参加本节目。
Pu: We have our two teammates are caught. One of them came this program first time.
[AA: 语法错误许多, 试试:
Two of our teammates were caught, and one of them is a first-timer to this program.]
Chen: Two teammates are out of this game. One of them take part in this program (TV show) for the first time.
[AA: “take” 应该是 “takes”; 第二句可以简化为 “ one of them is a first-timer”. The rest is fine.]
F. 文：我要打电话给黄，告诉他前往XX博物馆（完成任务，任务是推闸）。
Pu: I will contact Huang, (and) ask him to go to the XXX Bo Wu Guan（地名可以用拼音表示.
[AA: “博物馆”名称可以用拼音, 但博物馆本身应该用 “Museum”]
Chen: I will call Huang, and tell him to go to XXX Bo Wu Guan to finish the task (/to put on the brake).
[AA: 同样博物馆应该用 Museum; “推闸” 是 “to shut the front gate” 或 “to push the accordion gate shut”]
G. 中文：我（现在是）第八名。
Pu: I'm in eight.
[AA: “in eight” 是错误, 应该说 “I’m eighth”.]|
Chen: I'm currently in the 8th place.
[AA: Perfect; 可以省略 “the”; Try: “I’m in eighth place now”.]
H. 中文：(继续）摇晃（手上的手机）。
Pu: Shake it off.
[AA: “shake it off” 是 “摇动来摆脱它”, 词不达意]
Chen: Continue to shake your handphone.
[AA: 翻译没错; 口语用 “keep shaking” 优于 “continue to shake”; 手机是 “cellphone” 或 “mobile/mobile phone”. Try: “Keep shaking your mobile”.]
I. Guest Chi Fu (越南籍歌手 She is a singer from Vietnam)
中文：暗号是什么？（你说暗号上句，我对下句）
Chi Fu: What is the code?
Chen：请教老师是否还有更精确的表达？
[AA: “password/secret word” for all-alphabet code; “pass code” for mainly numerical code; “secret code” for either]
J. 中文：我有东西（我有件礼物）要给你。
Chi Fu: I have something for you.
Chen: I will give you a gift (I have a gift for you).
[AA: “I have a gift for you” is perfect. “I have something for you” is fine as well.]
K. 中文: (如果你吃了这个苹果)我将加入你的团队。
Chi Fu: I will belong to your team.
Chen's correction: I will join your team.
[AA: “I will join your team” is good English, way better than “I will belong to your team”.]
结论:
刚子小妹妹: 你的英语很地道，对认识错误很准确。
你最好再看看你说 “Pu”的英语是否准确，因为他的错误很基本，上电视的英语不应该是那么肤浅的，可能你看错了。
但若果是真的话，我也不奇怪，因为很多中国海归学生在外国时自成一国，只是跟中国人交往，对本地人市井英语认识不深，我希望他们知道问题加以改善。
Note 1
引子
说话直接的刚子 (发问读者):
林老师你好，我在看一期TV show时，对于Microphone Controllers (MC，TV show host) 和guests的英语表述（spoken language）有一些疑问。(Note 2)
Chen是我自己的翻译，请你帮我检查MC，guests，和我（Chen）的表述有无改进之处。谢谢！MC 蒲熠星Pu Yixing（在美国约翰·霍普金斯大学取得硕士学位。He pursued a Master's degree in Finance at Johns Hopkins University)：
Note 2
“MC” 一般的意思是 “Master of Ceremony 司仪”, 不是 “Microphone Controllers”
