中英之鑒 中式英語之鑒351
天網恢恢，逃逸了兩年之久的罪犯終于落網了。
[誤] The web of God is so broad that the criminal who had been away for as long as two years was finally caught.
[正] The mills of God grind slowly and the criminal who had been away for as long as two years was finally caught.
注：“天網恢恢”后面常省略“疏而不漏”，它是指法律的效力無處不在，犯罪分子必將受到懲罰。相同的意思，而英文卻用“上帝的磨碾得極慢(但卻很細)”來表達。
