中式英语口语错误之鉴

123. 无底洞

[误] Human greed is a bottomless hole.

[正] Human greed is a bottomless pit.

翻译:人的贪欲是个无底洞。

讲解:bottomless hole 是典型的“中式英语”,因为地道的说法是 bottomless pit。而且 pit 有“深渊”的意思,也更能表达原义。

更多口语例句:
Money is a bottomless sea, in which honour, conscience, and truth may be drowned.
金钱是无底的海洋,荣誉、良心和真理都可以淹没在其中。
