中英之鑒 中式英語(yǔ)之鑒372

[誤] Having worked here for many years, she is one of those who know what goes on behind the scenes, andis able to tell us a lot of things which are unknown to most people.

[正] Having worked here for many years, she is one of those who know the ropes, and is able to tell us a lotof things which are unknown to most people.

注：“內(nèi)幕”翻譯成 what goes on behind the scenes 固然沒(méi)錯(cuò)，但 know the ropes 更簡(jiǎn)潔。我們還可以用 know the inside stories 表示相同的意思。
