P262-266各種“紙”的英語表達①

paper

紙

我們常說的paper是指“用來書寫的紙”或是“用于包裝的紙”：A4紙A4paper。當它指一般的紙時是不可數(shù)名詞，一張紙apieceofpaper;而指代報紙時則是可數(shù)名詞。eg.Thepaperssoongotholdofthestory.

報紙很快就獲悉了這件事的來龍去脈。②

napkin

[?n?pk?n]餐巾紙

在英國會用serviette

[?s??v?'et]。這兩個詞都是可數(shù)名詞，包含了布制的餐巾和紙制的餐巾。eg.CouldIgetsomenapkins?

我能要些餐巾嗎？③

tissue[?t??u?]面巾紙我們平時打噴嚏或者擦眼淚時用的紙巾被稱為tissue，當tissue用來指代“紙巾”時是可數(shù)名詞，但用來指代“組織”或“包裝棉紙”時是不可數(shù)名詞：一盒紙巾

aboxoftissue④

toiletpaper廁紙

一般我們稱廁紙為toiletpaper，如果是一卷一卷的紙，可以用toiletroll表示。廁所正式場合可以用bathroom表示，那么廁紙也可以是：Bathtissue。如果遇到了“廁所沒紙”的情況，可以用以下表達：

outoftoiletpaper這里的outof表示“缺乏”，比如“手機沒電了”可以說“outofpower”。shortontoiletpaper⑤

wipe

濕紙巾翻譯為wettissue有可能被誤會為被用過的紙巾。濕紙巾的正確表達是wipe，而消毒濕巾就是disinfectantwipe。wipe是可數(shù)名詞，作動詞表示“擦拭”。eg.Remembertotakenappiesand

babywipes

.

史蒂夫·喬布斯被加州山景城的一個家庭所收養(yǎng)。還在中學的時候,他就對電子產品非常感興趣,于是就給威廉·休利特打電話要一些部件,用于完成學校的項目。休利特給他提供了那些部件,主動提出讓喬布斯夏天到惠普公司實習。在惠普,他遇到了史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克。沃茲尼亞克是個非常有天賦的工程師,知識淵博,比還是中學生的喬布斯大五歲。他們之間的友誼為后來蘋果公司的創(chuàng)建奠定了基礎。III.Translation(P265)Example:Maryhasmanybooks,andJackhasmanybookstoo.Revision:BothMaryandJackhavemanybooks.
