271. 經她的一番添油加醋,這件事情的性質竟被完全改變了。
[誤] After her adding oil and vinegar to this affair, the nature of the whole matter has been completly altered.
[正] After her adding highly colored details to this affair, the nature of the whole matter has been completely
altered.
注:“油”和“醋”都是中國菜的重要調料,加了它們,菜的味道就不一樣了。但西餐與中餐完全不同,所以在這裏採取直譯的方法會使不瞭解中國飲食文化的西方人無法理解。
