中式英语之鉴:我想要认识格林先生

(单词翻译:单击)

221. 我想要认识格林先生。


[误] I want to recognize Mr. Green.


[正] I should like to know Mr. Green.


:中文说的“认识”在上句中只能用英文的 know 来译,如照字面直译为 recognize 就错了,因为英文的 recognize=know again,例如 He has changed so much that I can hardly recognize him.(他变得太厉害,我几乎不认识他了。)原来认识的人才可以用 recognize,第一次相识只能说 know。
