怎樣說“我愛你”,相信大家知道很多(我一位加拿大朋友居然說了50句)。限于篇幅,不能多舉,希望學習時考慮兩個方面:1)怎樣把中文意思用英文很簡練地表達出來?(比如第一、三句)并注意一下用詞和介詞搭配;2)老外是怎樣比喻的。盡管有些比喻我們看起來覺得俗,可沒辦法,莎士比亞畢竟是少數。我們既然是學人家的語言,就只有依葫蘆畫瓢了:
1) You look more beautiful every time I see you.
每次見到你,你都更漂亮。(妙就妙在用more這個詞,很簡單地就表示出“一次比一次更”漂亮的意思)
2) I love you with all my heart.
我全心全意愛你。
3) I love you for you.
我真心愛你!(簡單吧!當你想表示愛的是對方的人,而不是其他如錢財,權勢等,就可以這樣說)
4) For the same reason you like me, I like you, too.
我也喜歡你啊,就想你喜歡我一樣。
5) My love for you is as deep as the sea.
對你的愛,似海深。
6) I'll love you as long as I live.
愛你一輩子(愛你千萬年)。
7) If the sun were to rise in the west, I'd never change my mind to love you forever.
即使太陽從西邊出來,我對你的愛也不會改變。(順便溫習一下虛擬語氣吧)
8) You're the only man/woman I could be happy with.
(這句話是不是太夸張?)
9) I'm so happy with you in this starry night.
在這繁星閃爍的夜晚,跟你在一起非常快樂。
10)I love stars, and you're as beautiful as a star.
(是俗了點,可人家就這麼說!)
11) If you go away, I'll be blue. I'll miss you when you leave.
假如你走了,我會很沮喪。你離開,我會很想念。
12)That reminds me too much of you.
那使我很想你。(并不一定要用think、miss等單詞哦)
13)I'm singing a torch song for her.
我單戀她。(因失戀/單戀而唱的歌就是torch song)
14)She fell in an unrequited love with the professor.
單戀那位教授。
15)You're a right match.
你們真是天生一對。
16)I'm sending your favorite red rose to feast your eyes upon.
我要送你你最喜愛的紅玫瑰,讓你欣賞。(女孩子都喜歡紅玫瑰?)
17)Will you accept me? I wanna share my life with you.
你答應我的求婚嗎?我想永遠和你在一起。
18)Love doesn't feed you. Grow up!
別幼稚了,愛情是填不飽肚皮的!
