學英文 EP142｜中級｜單字真的有可能「無法翻譯」嗎？｜Can words ever really be 'untranslatable'?

有些單字，真的「翻不出來」嗎？🌍不同語言裡，有些詞彙很難用一個單字完整翻譯。例如日文的「積読（tsundoku）」指的是買了很多書卻沒有讀，讓書堆在一起的情況；西班牙文的「cursilería」則形容過於矯情或老派的感覺。這些詞語反映了不同文化的生活方式與思考方式。也因此，翻譯有時不只是換單字，而是要用更多句子來表達同樣的概念。📚 本集文法學習重點：1️⃣ 複合形容詞（Hyphenated compound adjectives）例句：They say an untranslatable word exists if it has no exact one-word match in another language.2️⃣ 間接引述（Reported speech）例句：Some people say that untranslatable words do not really exist because you can always explain a word from another language using different words.Story textSome people say that untranslatable words do not really exist because you can always explain a word from another language using different words. Others disagree. They say an untranslatable word exists if it has no exact one-word match in another language. For example, ""tsundoku""is a Japanese word that means buying books and not reading them. People usually leave these books in a pile with others they have not read. The Spanish word ""cursilería"" describes something silly, old-fashioned, or too emotional. These words show ideas that may not be described precisely in other cultures. Translators often need to use many words or change full sentences to explain them. Untranslatable words can help us understand different ways of thinking and feeling around the world.Readle App 下載連結：⁠https://readle-app.onelink.me/cKqE/8suoeb2w"
