Ask an English native speaker to paraphrase May 18, 2010

理解不透时，我就找英语母语人士用英语给我解释一下。

还有一个办法是google理解不透的词语或句子，找到带有相关词句的文章，多看几篇，看它在英语中是怎么用的(context)，这样做也有助于理解。比较花功夫。

确实如此，译文的问题大半还是出在老问题上：原文理解不透。

但总归有几个因素时不是地出来干扰我们对原文的理解：新的用法、新的词语、深奥的专业知识点还有一直以来让译者备感头痛的歧义句处理（光语法功底扎实还不够，更需要结合专业知识，但不是每个译者都能做到对翻译的材料能够100%的透彻）。


所以遇到不懂的，有时还要老老实实地“直译”，以免把人的意思给全拧了。
