 “满身铜臭”怎么说 ?


古汉语中有“其臭如兰”,可见,“臭”在古代不单单指“难闻的气味”,它的语义范围要比现在广的多,可用来形容各种味道。巧的是,stink 1(发臭)在古英语中也是个中性词,用来形容“各种气味兼而有之”。 推及到现代,“臭”和“stink”的褒义意所剩无几。在汉语中,“臭”除了表达难闻的气味外,也常用来形容人们对某物、某人的鄙夷之情,如:“满身铜臭”。在英语中,stink或stinking也可起到类似加强语气、渲染感情色彩的作用,如to stink of money和stinking rich恰到好处地形容了“满身铜臭、金钱多如粪土”的内涵。 另外,既然说到了“富有”,这里顺便提几个“腰缠万贯”的相关表达——I'm loaded. I've got money to burn.(我很富有,有花不完的钱);He must be rolling in money/He must be heeled.(他一定很有钱。)很明显,在这里,load,burn,roll,heel的词义更中性一些,即使有贬义意,其贬义意味也要比stink淡的多。

vi.发出恶臭;糟透,招人厌恶;n.恶臭
  • The stink of the rotten fish turned my stomach.腐烂的鱼臭味使我恶心。
  • The room has awful stink.那个房间散发着难闻的臭气。
