句子:这位女演员走红地毯时发现与另一位影星撞衫了。
误译:When this actress was walking on the red carpet, she found her outfit clashed with another film star.
正译:When this actress was walking on the red carpet, she found she happened to wear the same kind of dress with another film star.
解释:to clash 的意思是to look ugly when put together,即“不协调”、“不搭配”。没有“撞衫”的意思。如:
影星很忌讳穿衣服不搭配。Outfit clashes are taboo to movie stars.
“撞衫”的意思是“在同一场合穿了一样的衣服”。如:
在颁奖晚会上,这两位女演员撞衫了。At the award-giving party, the two actresses happened to be dressed in the same style and colour.
“靠色”的意思是“两种事物的颜色相近或相同”。如:我发现本小区保安的制服与警服靠色。I found the uniform of the security guards in this residential district and the police uniform are of the same colour.
