　　原文：

　　鴻漸道：“我也真討厭他們，好在將來不會(huì)一起住。我知道今天這頓飯把你的胃口全吃倒了。說到孩子，我倒想起來了，好像你應(yīng)該給他們見面錢的，還有兩個(gè)用人的賞錢�！比峒晤D足道：“你為什么不早跟我說？我家里沒有這一套，我自己剛脫離學(xué)校，全不知道這些奶奶經(jīng)，麻煩死了！我不高興做你們方家的媳婦了！”（錢鐘書 - 圍城 ）

　　翻譯關(guān)鍵詞：倒胃口，想起來，應(yīng)該，奶奶經(jīng)

　　譯文：

　　Hung-chien said, “I hate them myself. Luckily we won’t ever be living together. I realize the meal today completely turned your stomach. By the way, speaking of the children, it just occurred to me. I think you’re supposed to give them some First Meeting money, and tips to the two servants.” Jou-chia stamped her foot and cried, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? We don’t do that in our family. I’m just out of school. I don’t know all those silly old rules. What a nuisance! I don’t like being your Fang family daughter-in-law any more!”(美 Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao <譯> –Fortress Besieged)

　　翻譯筆記：

　　倒胃口

　　指某種東西吃得太多而把胃口弄壞，也常用來比喻對(duì)一件事的厭煩情緒。除了文中的turn one’s stomach以外，常用的譯法還有spoil one’s appetite; be fed up with。如：這東西吃多了容易倒胃口。Too much of this food will spoil your appetite.這樣的電視劇真叫人倒胃口。I’m fed up with such TV dramas.

　　想起來

　　occur是不及物動(dòng)詞，作“被想起，被想到”解時(shí)，是翻譯考試中很常見的.一個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)，其中又以it occurred to me這樣的形式居多。如：It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind.有一天我突然想到，倘若我不是盲人，我或許不會(huì)變得像現(xiàn)在這樣熱愛生活。His name just did not occur to my memory.我就是想不起他的名字來。

　　應(yīng)該

　　suppose作“期望；認(rèn)為必須，認(rèn)為應(yīng)該；認(rèn)為……必要”解時(shí)，常用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。如：None of us girls is supposed to smoke.我們女孩子都不該吸煙。When is the ship supposed to leave?船應(yīng)該在什么時(shí)候開？

　　奶奶經(jīng)

　　這里實(shí)際上指“無聊的（愚蠢的）舊規(guī)矩”，因此文中譯為silly old rules。
