有关“吃”的各种翻译

（单词翻译:单击）

 　　一提到“吃”，我们就会想到“eat”。实际上，很多情况下并不需要用“eat”来表达。如《红楼梦》中有这样的句子：“你们坐着吃吧，我可去了。”译成英文是：“Sit down and go on with your meal, I'm leaving you. ”再有一句“你尝尝罢，好吃得很呢!你林妹妹弱，吃了不消化;不然，他也爱吃。”这句连用了三个“吃”，但英译本中没有一个“eat ”，而译成“Go and taste some. It's really delicious. Cousin Dai yu's so delicate, it would give her indigestion. If it were not for that, she'd like some too.”在《儒林外史》第十一回中有这样一句：“好男不吃分家饭”译做“Good sons don't live on their inheritance.”
