中式英语口语错误讲解

43.冷板凳

[误] William, who was so popular in the department team, is given a cold bench in the university team.

[正] William, who was so popular in the department team, is given a cold shoulder in the university team.

翻译在院足球队里叱咤风云的威廉到了校队却只能坐冷板凳。

讲解:give sb. a/the cold shoulder 的字面意思是“给某人一个冷肩膀”。当不看重某人和对其冷淡的时候,人们往往会把身体转过去,用背或肩膀对着他。这与“坐冷板凳”的意思相同,而且比直译地道多了。

更多口语例句:

She leaned lightly against his shoulder.
她轻轻地倚靠在他肩上。
