中式英语之鉴:小人物

163. 史密斯先生觉得自己是个小人物,他多希望有一天能成为大人物啊!


[误] Mr Smith always considers himself a small figure, and how he wishes to be a big figure one day!


[正] Mr Smith always considers himself nobody, and how he wishes to be somebody one day!


:“小人物”也好,“大人物”也罢,是言其地位,而非体格。nobody 和 somebody 能准确表达这一中文意思,而 small figure 和 big figure 是指“小个子 ”和“大个子”,不要混淆噢!
