國際翻譯公司告訴你出國旅游不能亂說的單詞

France

 法國

  Preservative：Avoid asking about preservatives in France; you’ll probably be met with strange looks. It means ‘condom’ in France。

  Preservative：在法國不要詢問preservatives(防腐劑)；別人會用奇怪的眼神看你。它在法語里的意思是“避孕套”。

  French Letter: Don’t say french letter unlike in other nations of the world, it simply means a condom in France。

  French Letter：不像在世界其他國家，在法國不要說french letter(法國的信)這個詞，在法語中這個詞就是“避孕套”的意思。

  Bra: Do you sell luxury underwear? Whilst you and I might initially understand the word to mean a garment that covers the breasts, if you’re in France your French colleagues might think you’re selling arms. Literal

  Bra：你是賣奢侈內衣的嗎？你我都首先把這個單詞理解為“覆蓋在胸部的衣服”，但是如果你在法國，那里的同行會以為你在賣武器，字面上是這個意思。

  Norway

  挪威

  Pick: If you’re visiting Norway, don’t use the word ‘pick’. Your Norwegian colleague is unlikely to be impressed – it means ‘dick’ over there。

  Pick：如果你去挪威，不要用pick(挑選)這個詞，挪威的同事不會對你有好的印象——在挪威它的意思是“男性生殖器”。

  Fitter: Does your business specialise in fitness products? Be mindful that in Norway, the word ‘fitter’ refers to a woman’s genitals。

  Fitter：你們公司專門經營健身產品？那在挪威你要注意了，fitter(更健康)指的是女人的生殖器。

  Turkey

  土耳其

  Peach: Going to Turkey? Avoid asking for a peach in the supermarket or anywhere else for that matter. It means ‘bastard’ in Turkish。

  Peach：要去土耳其？在超市不能索要peach(桃子)，在任何其他地方也不能提到這個詞，它在土耳其的意思是“私生子”。

  Germany

  德國

  Gift: ‘Never look a gift horse in the mouth’, we’re told; perhaps more so in Germany where the word means ‘poison’。

  Gift：我們都被教育“饋贈之物，切莫挑剔”；可能在德國更是這樣，在那兒，這個單詞的意思是“毒藥”。

  Latte: In Germany, latte doesn’t mean the frothy, milky concoction you get from your local Starbucks. It means ‘erect penis’ in some German quarters。

  Latte：在德國，latte(拿鐵)不是指你從當地星巴克買到的泡沫多的、含牛奶的混合物，而是在一些地區指“勃起”。
