“顺便”在英文中的表达方法 语境谈话时突然想到另一件事为了转变话题常用“By the way…”中文常译为“顺便一提…”。其实这应该译为“对了…”。但“By the way…是句子间的连接词组,无法用在单句。 语境 “你回家的时候可以顺便帮我买包香烟吗?”中的“顺便”其实是含有“方便”的意思。用英文说,就是conveniently, in it, without extra effort, incidentally…。实际上的词组用词可以用in passing, at your convenience, take this opportunity…甚至于不用任 何词组,而用从整个句子的语气上得来〔见下面的例子〕! 例 :I mention this point now in passing and shall refer to it again. 这一点现在先顺便提一下,以后还会再提到。 例:I take this opportunity to report to you about a matter.顺便向各位报告一件事。 例:On your way home, could you please get a pack of cigarettes for me, at your convenience? “你回家的时候可以顺便帮我买包香烟吗?”。 例:〔甚至不用at your convenience,从语气上就有“顺便”的气氛〕。I often look in at the bookstore on my way home from work.我下班回家,常到书店看看。 例:When you go to the library, please return this book for me.你去图书馆管的时候,把我这本书还了吧。〔本句中When…for me就有“顺便”的气氛〕。 例:Please take this study material with you to the class.你把这份讲义拿到班上去。〔本句中When…with you就有“顺便”的气氛〕。 例:When you go shopping, please buy me a pair of small scissors.你去买东西的时候,替我买一把小剪刀。〔本句中只用When…而不用其它任何词组,从语气上来看,就有“顺便”的气氛〕。 例:When my cousin came to Taipei on business, he stayed with me for two nights. 我表弟来台北出差时,来我家住了两晚。〔本句中只用When…而不用其它任何词组,从语气上来看,就有“顺便”的气氛〕。 例:When you go to Kingstone Bookstore, please ask when this month‘s issue of World Movie will be in.你去金石堂书店的时候,请问一下新的一期“世界电影”杂志什么时候到。 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/d2a393aa6e1aff00bed5b9f3f90f76c660374c72.html
