英文的 " I " 在中文怎麼翻譯?

有一個老外,為了學好漢語,不遠萬里,來到中國,拜師於一位國學教授門下。第一天老外想挑一個簡單詞彙學習,便向老師請教英語〝I〞在漢語中應該如何說。


老師解釋道:中國是一個官本位國家,當你處在不同的級別、地位,"I" 也有不同的變化,就象你們英語中的形容詞,有原級、比較級、高級一樣。

比如,你剛來中國,沒有地位,對普通人可以說:我、咱、俺、餘、吾、予、儂、某、咱家、洒家、俺咱、本人、個人、人家、吾儂、我儂。


如果見到老師、長輩和上級,則應該說:區區、僕、鄙、愚、走、鄙人、卑人、敝人、鄙夫、鄙軀、鄙愚、貧身、小子、小可、
在下、末學、小生、不佞、不才、不材、小材、不肖、不孝、
不類、走狗、牛馬走、愚小子、鄙生、貧生、學生、後學、晚生、晚學、後生晚學、予末小子、予小子、餘子。


等到你當了官以後,見到上級和皇帝,則應該說:職、卑職、下官、臣、臣子、小臣、鄙臣、愚臣、奴婢、奴才、小人、老奴、小的、小底。

見到平級,則可以說:愚兄、為兄、小弟、兄弟。

見到下級,則可以說:爺們、老子、大老子、你老子、乃公。

如果你混得好,當上了皇帝或王爺,則可以說:朕、孤、孤王、孤家、寡人、不轂。

如果你不願意當官,只好去當和尚、道士、應該說:貧道、小道、貧僧、貧衲、不慧、小僧、野僧、老衲、老僧。

最後一點必須注意,一旦你退休了,便一下子失去了權利和地位,見人也矮了三分,只好說:老朽、老拙、老夫、愚老、老叟、小老、小老兒、老漢、老可、老軀、老僕、老物、朽人、老我、老骨頭。

老外聽了老師一席話,頓覺冷水澆頭,一個晚上沒有睡好覺。第二天一大早,向老師辭行:學生、愚不材、末學、走。退了房間,訂了機票,回國去了。

The perfume opens on bright and lively notes, distilling an immediate feeling of freshness. It resonates under the vibration of a splash of sparkling citrus, tinted with a touch of bitterness and of spice, combining lemon and Italian bergamot, petitgrain and pepper.

An aromatic facet, timeless and never out of fashion, alternating between transparency and depth, its heart beats around sage and lavender. They use their paradoxes to establish this natural link between freshness and sensuality.

Finally…When it comes into contact with the skin’s heat, the base unveils its woody and refined temperament. Indonesian patchouli, enhanced by a hint of moss, draws out its signature in comforting musky notes.

愉快及有活力的前味立即帶來清新的感覺;帶點苦味及辛味的柑橘,結合檸檬及義大利佛手柑還有苦橙及胡椒等鎮出和諧的共鳴。永不退流行的香氛,在透明與深奧 之間交替,在鼠尾草與薰衣草間遊走的中味,利用香料之間的反差創造出清新與感性的自然交結。最終,當它遇上體溫,木香的優雅氣息揭開後味的神秘面紗,印尼 廣藿香伴以些微苔蘚,散發出令人雀躍的麝香調。

Elevated urinary xanthurenate may be produced from dietary tryptophan even when there is no extra tryptophan challenge. In such cases, vitamin BB insuf­ficiency is significant enough to interfere with even the normal conversion of dietary tryptophan When piglets were used to study vitamin B6 deficiency, urinary levels of kynurcnate and xanthurcnate were elevated early in vitamin B6 deficiency, and continued to rise as the deficiency worsened.

若排除其他色氨酸干擾因素,一般飲食中的色氨酸可導致黃尿酸升高,如此維他命B6不足將嚴重阻礙一般飲食中色氨酸轉換,當以豬隻做研究時,在維生素B6不足發生初期時,尿液中犬尿胺酸及黃尿酸含量便開始升高;若不足程度增加,情況便會加劇。

生化醫學文章翻譯節錄

Biotin is obtained from food, and is also produced by predominant organisms (especially bifidobacteria) in the healthy human gut. Biotin deficiency was once thought to be rare because such small amounts are required and clinical signs of deficiency are non-spe­cific.187 It was thought that only certain disorders of in­fancy, such as Leiners disease (desquamative erythroder­ma) and other forms of seborrheic dermatitis, arc clinical manifestations of biotin deficiency. Recent findings are shifting the clinical outlook for biotin deficiency.

維生素H(生物素)可由食物中獲取,以可由健康人體內臟主要器官產生(尤其是比菲德氏菌)。因為生理需求量小加上臨床徵兆不明,『生物素不足』一度被視為 極罕見。以前認為只有一些特定嬰兒小疾病(如嬰兒托屑紅皮症)或脂漏性皮膚炎等才是生物素不足的臨床表現。最近的發現才改變了醫學對生物素不足的觀點。
