个人情绪色彩

English translation: tinted with personal sentiments

14:27 Sep 24, 2007
Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Human Resources
Chinese term or phrase: 个人情绪色彩
As in "有时候,我的反馈带有个人的情绪色彩"

My first thought has been "Sometimes my feedback is emotional in tone/has an emotion coloration."

Just feel something is still missing in conveying the meaning of "个人情绪色彩"

Thanks a lot !

disagree  Jeff Pan: 这个过于书卷气, 补充：看到后面又有不太理解为什么反对，就再解释一下。译句不是看上去越fancy越好。pkchan的译句固然花了心思，很雅致，但不像现代人的普通说话方式，又不是17世纪英国上流社会贵族的社交用语，干嘛那么咬文嚼字的。还是贴近说话人的身份，语境译出为好。也是“信”的另一层含义。另外，"同意“，"反对”只针对译文，并不带“个人情绪色彩”，不必take it personally.
