2017-10-16 09:19:45    etogether.net    网络    




5. money spinner, British informal. a person, thing, or activity that brings in a lot of money: The trees have a reputation as money spinners hecause of quick maturity at high prices(London Times).
                                                                 —The World Book Dictionary.
这“money spinner”不但可指人以外的事物亦可指人。但“摇钱树”不也照样可以指人吗?
本文只是提了“摇钱树”英译的两名"候选人”,其当选与否,自由读者即译者自行选择,而不能强求。译名也不能搞一言堂嘛。
后记:完稿后又发现一例可供“摇钱树”英译候选人提名之用, 爰恭录如下:

6. The corrective-labor system must be viewed by society not as a milk cow, but rather as an investment.
                                             —The Current Digest of The Soviet Press, VOL. XL,
                                                                                     No.40(1988)p.22
