心境 | Why You Want to Squeeze Adorable Babies and Puppies人为什么爱捏萌宝萌犬

词林漫步 | character、letter和word

经常听到这种说法：汉语的“汉字”用character表示，因为汉语由方块字构成；英语的“字母”用letter表示，因为英语是字母文字。但实际情况并不完全如此。美国的罗斯百货（Ross Stores）让顾客在网上留言，分享有关购物的体验。预留的空间字数限制为250个character，要求用英文留言，我就输入英语单词数数看，结果显示一个字母就是一个character。一查词典，这个词果然有“字母

entomo-（昆虫）、ichthyo-（鱼）、ornitho-（鸟），虫鱼鸟兽三缺一。上一期的内容留了个尾巴，介绍了虫、鱼、鸟，唯独缺了兽，却以18个动物形容词作为结束，说是为了这一期预作准备。此举有点神秘，带了些悬疑色彩，仿佛电视连续剧的做法，在观众的情绪逐渐被挑起、剧情即将进入高潮之际，画面戛然而止，切进片尾主题曲，后续发展留待下回分解，把看官的心全都吊在半空中。曾老师的葫芦里，究竟

谭译录 | 中译英策略与方法（十三）

汉语中有一些常见且颇有特点的结构。因为有特点，所以在翻译过程中的引导性，或者是干扰性较强，容易造成定式思维，一看到某种结构，就会采用较为固定的译法。这一篇我们谈谈中文的“的”字结构。“的”在汉语中属于结构助词，帮助形成修饰结构，其用法大体有两种情况。一是用在代词、形容词或名词后面修饰一个名词，例如“我们的学校”“雄伟的山峰”“委员会的成员”等等。另一种是用动词短语修饰一个名词，例如“公司的员工培训

谭译录 | Charlie’s Raven (Excerpt IV)《查理的渡鸦》（节选四）
