加拿大华人论坛 加拿大百科动物们的声音用英语如何表达?
在加拿大
你是不是曾经在自己的作文或日记中描述过动物的叫声?在文学作品或影视中一些借助动物的声音渲染出来的气氛也同样扣人心 弦。因此学会表达动物的声音就说明你的写作 水平又有进展啦。先来看看我们最常见的小动物,在英语里它们是怎么“叫”的呢? 猫和狗是人类最亲近的朋友,先来听听它们的叫声吧! 很简单,和中文一样,英文里也用象声词来表达许多动物的声音。我们常会听到猫 “喵呜”“喵呜”所以在英语里我们就用象声词miaow mew来表达。读一下是不是很象猫叫?另外我们还可以用pur来形容猫叫。Pur的本意是“咕噜、咕噜”的声音。 A cat miaows /mews/purrs.猫“喵喵”叫。 狗是怎么叫的呢?我们最常用的一个词就是bark. bark除了有“犬吠”的意思外,还有“树皮”的意思,这在GRE考试中还考到过。另外描述狗叫的还有yap(汪汪叫)想一下不停的狗吠是不是很招人烦,所以yap这个词另外的意思就是“吵嚷”。另外yelp和snarl也是常用来形容狗叫的。 A dog yaps/ yelps/ barks/ snarls.狗吠。 A duck quacks.鸭子叫。 quack这个词除了用来形容鸭子叫之外还可以用来指 “江湖医生,庸医。”记住了这个quack害人真是不浅呀。 A cock crows.公鸡啼。 这个crow的意义可非同一般,“公鸡啼鸣”它表示新的一天又开始了。 还记得红楼梦里薛蟠哼的那首打油诗吗?“一个苍蝇嗡啊嗡,一个蚊子哼啊哼。”它们的声音听起来真是令人讨厌。英语里又是用什么词来形容它们的声音呢?只要这两个词就可以了:buzz(嗡嗡)hum(哼哼) A fly hums/ buzzes/ drones.苍蝇“嗡嗡”叫。 A bee/ mosquito hums/ buzzes.蜂/蚊子“嗡嗡”叫。 在这里只好委屈美好和勤劳的小蜜蜂了。谁让它的叫声和它俩差不多呢?这里 hum除了尤指蜜蜂发“嗡嗡”(a continuous buzz)声,发“哼哼”声外,还可以用来指人等“闭嘴哼唱”,如:hum a song 哼一首歌。

有所拿,有所不拿 ... 超赞 赏 故乡的云Moderator 0$(VIP 0) 56,3882009-11-17#10 回复: 动物们的声音用英语如何表达?汉语和英语中有许多和动物相关的词汇。由于中西方文化的差异,英汉两种语言中的动物词汇也传达出不同的含义。汉语中“狗”常用在含贬义的词语中,如“狐朋狗友”、“狗嘴吐不出象牙”;而英语中的"dog"常常被视为人类的伴侣和爱物,常用来比喻人或人的生活,比如"top dog"(有优势的人、团体),"see dog"(老练的水手)等。又比如,龙在中国人的心中占有崇高的地位,和龙相关的词语多是褒义。而在英语中,"dragon"常含有贬义,比如"dragon's teeth"用来指“相互争斗的根源”,"the Old Dragon"用来指“魔鬼”。再如,汉语说“非驴非马”,英语却说"Neither fish nor fowl";英语说"to work like a horse",汉语中则用“老黄牛”来形容辛勤工作的人。下面,我们就进一步详细地分类列举一些和动物相关的词汇的有趣翻译。
