有什么內(nèi)幕?
What's the catch 的翻譯比較靈活,依語(yǔ)境而定。日常交談中,對(duì)方免費(fèi)給你好處,常常反問(wèn):What's the catch?就是問(wèn)“有什么詭計(jì)?”;也可譯為“你這是什么意思?”或者“有什么內(nèi)幕?”。因此,當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"What's the catch?"時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Any more information about it?"、"Can you give me more details about it?"。
情景對(duì)白:
Shirley: Our company is going to stage a party to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its foundation.
雪莉:公司要舉辦成立十周年慶祝晚會(huì)。
Jane: Great. What's the catch?
簡(jiǎn):太好啦。有什么內(nèi)幕嗎?
