翻譯關鍵詞：干一杯，unware的用法，crawl與creep，好幾次

譯文：Hsin-mei said, "Everyone drink a toast in advance to the good wife of our great philosopher. Mr. Fang, you drink too, even if only half a glass." Hesin-mei was unaware that great philosophers have never had good wives. Socrates' wife was a shrew and poured dirty water on her husband's head. Aristotle's mistress rode on him like a horse, telling him to crawl on the floor naked, and even making him taste the whip. Marcus Aurelius' wife was an adulteress, and even Ch'u Shen-ming's pal Bertrand Russell had been divorced several times. (美 Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao: Fortress Besieged)

翻譯筆記：

干一杯

我們常用的“干一杯”的表達有drink a toast和cheers。趙辛楣說這句“大家干一杯”，我們也可以說：So everyone, cheers! 那么，“為……干杯”我們通常說：To good health!（“為健康干杯！”）A toast to the friendship! （“為友誼干杯！”）

我們需要注意的一點是，toast單獨用來指“烤面包片”時，是一個統稱。我們不說a toast來表達“一片烤面包”，也不說toasts表示“多片烤面包”，而是說a slice of toast和slices of toast。

unaware的用法

與aware一樣，unaware后面接of或以that引導的從句，如：

He is aware of our presence. / He is aware that we are here.

又如：He was unaware of her presence. / He was unaware that she was present.

crawl與creep

中間關于Socrates，Aristotle和Marcus Aurelius的事例是譯者為了讓讀者更好理解而插入的添加成份，用來加強“大哲學家從來沒娶過好太太”這句話的例證。我們要做的并非深究其真實性，然而，Aristotle的太太讓其光著身子在地上爬這個crawl其實是含有貶義成分的。我們來比較一下crawl與creep就知道了。

crawl多指蛇，蟲類等身體沿地面或其它表面的動作，很少用來形容人。如：

There is an insect crawling up your back. 有一條蟲子正在你的背上往上爬。

creep多指四肢爬行的哺乳動物或人等偷偷摸摸、無聲緩慢的前行動作。如：

They arrived late and crept into the classroom. 他們遲到了，便悄悄地溜進教室。

好幾次

“好幾次”這個詞的感情色彩應該是“多”，試比較下面兩句：

I bought several books this morning.

我今天早上買了好幾本書（不止一兩本）。

I bought some books this morning.

我今天早上買了幾本書（不多）。
