【摘要】1. 有他这颗扫帚星，什么事情都办不成。[误] with a comet like him, nothing can be accomplished.[正] with a jinx like him, nothing can be accomplished.注："扫帚星"是中国人对"慧星"(comet)的俗称，因其后面拖着一条像扫帚一样的长尾巴而得名。在中国古代，"扫帚星"被认为是灾难的预兆，并被用来比喻不吉利的人或事；祸根：(person or thing that is thought to bring)bad luck(to sb/sth)；curse。英语的comet 虽然没有这层含义，但却有一个对应的说法，即jinx。例：there's a jinx on/someone's put a jinx on this car: it's always giving me trouble. (这辆汽车上有什么妨人的东西，总给我找麻烦。)2.萝卜青菜，各有所爱。[误] some prefer radish but others prefer cabbage.[正] tastes differ。注：tastes differ/vary是句英语谚语，除此以外，原句还可翻译成 no dish suits all tastes 或 you can never make everyone happy 等。此外，我们还可以这样说：one man's meat is another man's poison. 总之，应采取意译。3.他一向嘴硬，从不认错。[误] he has always got a hard mouth and never admit a fault.[正] he never says uncle.注：say (cry) uncle: to give up or in
