论坛术语----比如版主，管理员，顶，潜水的英文表达
Forum - The forum is the whole installation, and usually contains multiple boards.
Board - A board contains topics, which in turn contain the posts. Boards can be private, so they are only visible to admins, moderators and members. Boards can be read-only, so they only allow posts by admins. Users can subscribe to a board, which means they will get all new posts in that board in one daily email.
Topic - A topic, otherwise known as thread, contains all the posts on a specific subtopic, that should be named in the topic's subject. Boards have an expiration value that determines after how many days its topics will expire after their last post has been made. An important topic can be set to "protected", so that it never expires. Admins and moderators can lock a topic, so that no new posts can be made to it.
Post - A post is a single public message by a user. It can be either a first post, which starts a new topic, or a reply to an existing topic. Posts can be edited and deleted after posting.
User - A user is anyone who registers an account in the forum. Everyone needs to register to write in the forum, anonymous posting is not possible. However, there is no need for an account just for reading. Users can be granted membership status to selected boards, enabling them to see and post in private boards.
Forum Administrator - A forum admin can control and edit everything in the forum. A forum can have multiple forum admins.
Board Moderator - A board moderator's powers are limited to the boards he is admin of. A board moderators can edit, delete posts by normal users, mark topics as protected or locked, and delete topics. A board can have multiple moderators.
要强调和补充的几点是：
1）Moderator是版主唯一公认的称呼。千万不要用bamboo。
2）Newbie是新人/成员。也有拼成noobie，nube甚至n00b的，但这些不规则拼法往往带有强烈贬义。
3）Bump或者bump up相当于中文里的“顶”。如果你要表达“顶帖”，可以来个简单的"Bump!"，或者完整的"I'm going to bump the thread (up)." 千万，千万不要用"Support!"或者"Up!"(当然，如果周围都是老乡，那些词的意思都能理解的话，用用也无妨，开拓一下Chinglish的市场也不错哈^o^)
4）Troll可以指发恶意帖进行挑衅、使得正常的讨论无法继续（这是最常用的意思），也可以指“潜水”（就是“只看帖不回帖”）。它还可以当名词，指干上述勾当的人。强烈鄙视，人人得以诛之。（UPDATE: “潜水”最常用的是lurk，“潜水员”是lurker。Troll虽然也有这层意思，但不常用。）
5）Flame指论坛成员在发生意见分歧后上升到人身攻击的行为。同样强烈鄙视，人人得以诛之。
6）My two cents相当于my opinion/take on this issue，往往可以起到避免纷争的作用。比如，在表达完自己对某个问题的看法后，你可以说一句：Just my 2 cents. （潜台词就是：May or may not be right. Others may or may not agree.）

电子邮件的小技巧
一、文法上
1、切忌主客不分或模糊
例子: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.”
应改为：Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀, 不是report.)
2、句子不要凌碎
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 应该连在一起.
3、结构对称,令人容易理解.
例子: The owner questioned the occupant’s lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings.
应改为: The owner questioned the occupant’s lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4.单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服.
例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance.
5.动词主词要呼应. 想想这两个分别:
1）.This is one of the public-relations functions that is underbudgeted.
2）. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are underbudgeted.
6.时态和语气不要转变太多.看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊.
7.标点要准确.
例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.选词正确. 好像affect和effect, operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦.
9.拼字正确. 有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒.
10.大小写要注意.非必要不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人
例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样. 要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了.
二、 写信提示
1.人家的名字千万不要错.老一辈的看到名字错就干脆撵去垃圾桶. 同样, 头衔都不要错. 头衔或学位,任择其一吧.以下是一样的: Howard E. Wyatt, D.D.SPhD. Dr. Howard E. Hyatt
2.多过一个男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不过不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦.例如: Messrs. Smith, Wyatt, and Fury 。女人呢? 用Mesdames, Mmes., or Mses. 同样不要跟名字. 例子: Mses. Farb, Lionel, and Gray 。男女一齐呢? 弄清楚称呼就行.例如: Dr. and Mrs. Harold Wright ；Mr. Harold Wright and Dr. Margaret Wright ；Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Adams-Quinn 。
3.有人有自己头衔就要跟紧,例如有人有荣誉学位就不喜欢用一般的头衔啊~有时大头不知道对方头衔,干脆用Ms.算了. Ms. Sarah Gray
4.地址要低日期至少两行.处名时,职衔短可以一行过,长就下一行吧.例如:
Ken Green, President ／Ken Green ／Vice President of International Operations
但这个就显得有点。。。:
Ken Green ／Vice President of Unicom China
正确应为:
Ken Green ／Vice President, Unicom China
5.老外的名字有时有Jr. 或 Sr.,之前的逗点是随你喜欢的,以下都是正确,不要笑人:
Michael J. Smith, Jr. ／Michael J. Smith Sr.
6.外国国名尽量用大写.是为尊重,也方便邮差叔叔.
7.地址上的数字直接用阿拉伯数字吧,除了One,例子:
127 Ninth Avenue, North
127 E. 15 Street
5 Park Avenue
One Wingren Plaza
556 - 91 Street

英语中的动物----生动形象
动物比喻（Animal Metaphors）在英汉两种语言中均有广泛的使用，它使语言生气勃勃，形象鲜明。然而，由于文化背景、思维方式的不同，人们对动物比喻的正确理解和翻译存有障碍。从翻译的角度总体说来，动物比喻可以分为两大类：
一类是： 译语与原语存在对应的关系，使动物形象再现成为可能。根据两种语言在意义、形象或风格上的相似性，翻译时可采用同值、近值互借法，以再现原语形象。例如：
1． What a dull speech! He’s merely parroting what many others have said.多么单调乏味的讲话！他不过是鹦鹉学舌，重复许多人说过的话而已。
2． A wolf in sheep’s clothing披着羊皮的狼
3． One swallow does not make a summer.孤燕不成夏。
4． He is as sly as a fox. You’ve got to watch him.他狡猾得像个狐狸。对他你可要当心点儿。
5． You stupid ass! How could you do a thing like that?你这头蠢驴！怎么会干出那种事儿来？
6． The children were as busy as bees, making preparations for the festival.孩子们准备过节忙得像蜜蜂一样。
另一类是：同一动物形象在原语和译语中的语用意义相去甚远，甚至完全相悖。因此，在翻译过程中就出现了动物形象名称的转换。这种动物形象的转换可以是一种动物形象转换为另一种动物形象。例如：
1． Talk horse.吹牛。（horse译为“牛”）
2． Ass in a lion’s skin.狐假虎威。（ass译为“狐”，lion译为“虎”）
3． Black sheep.害群之马。（sheep译为“马”）
4． Lock the stable door after the horse is stolen.亡羊补牢。（horse译为“羊”）
5． Cast pearls before swine.对牛弹琴。（swine译为“牛”）
6． When the cat is away, the mice will play.山中无老虎，猴子称大王。（cat译为“老虎”，mice译为“猴子”）
7． As hungry as a bear.饿得像狼。（bear译为“狼”）
8． Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.杀鸡取卵。（goose译为“鸡”）
9． As timid as a hare.胆小如鼠。(hare充为“鼠”)
10．Neither fish, flesh nor fowl.非驴非马。(fish, flesh译为“驴”owl译为“马”)
11．Break a fly upon the wheel.杀鸡用牛刀。(fly译为“鸡”)
另一方面，在翻译专利号，一种动物形象转换成人的形象（transfer of Denomination between Animals and Human Beings.）则主要是依据动物自身的习性、特点以及该词汇的内涵和具体的语境而定。例如： 1． Every dog has his day.凡人皆有得意日。
Help a lame dog over stile.救人之急；帮助人度过难关。
A dog in the manger.占着茅坑不拉屎。（dog译为“人”）
2． Bill is taking his bird to the pictures tonight.比尔今晚带着他的女朋友去看电影。（bird译为“女朋友”）
3． In the city I was nothing, but there in the countryside I was considered a big fish.在城里我还是什么人物，但是在乡下我却被认为是个了不起的人物。（fish译为“人物”）
4． Don’t listen to her gossip; she is a cat.别听她搬弄是非，她是个心地恶毒的女人。（cat译为“心地恶毒的女人”）
5． “Don’t be scared, Chickens!”came her voice with teasing gaiety.“另害怕，胆小鬼们！”她开玩笑地说。（chickens译为“胆小鬼”）
6． The lions at her party included two famous authors and a musician.她宴请的社会名流包括 两名作家和一名音乐家。（lions译为“社会名流”）
