translate
*翻译
*经常可以表示“转化”,
如同把一种语言翻译成另一种语言,我们可以用 translate 让两个事物发生转化。
比如,“化痛苦为力量”就可以说成:
It's time to translate pain into strength.
我们想表达一个产品的客服做的越好,它的用户就会越忠诚,我们就可以说:
Quality customer service translates into customer loyalty.
由于 translate 可以描述两个事物的转化,这种转化很多时候都可以理解为“意味着”(上面句子中的 translate 就可以理解为“意味着”)。
这种用法在外刊中很常见,比如《经济学人》在语言板块 Johnson 中讨论学习外语的价值时,在标题部分就用到了 translate:
们就可以说:
Even on conservative estimates, speaking another language translates into a big earnings boost.
