Saturday, January 26th, 2008 519 views1. Head
The head is thought to be the most important part of the human body. So a leader is often compared to a head (首脑). Thus we have Head of State or the head of a delegation.
The head is where the brain is located. It is naturally associated with ideas and intelligence. Very often, we need other people’s ideas and opinions when we want to do something well. The is because two heads are better than one (三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮).

Day不一定是“（一）天”
Friday, January 25th, 2008 252 views 原文：At the end of the day, it’s his responsibility, and there’s nothing you can do.
译文：到这一天结束的时候/到了晚上，这就是他的责任了，你什么也不能做。
辨析：译文让人觉得不知所云，误译的原因在于未能理解句首成语的确切含义，而是照字面揣测。At the end of the day 是英语成语，常用于口语，意思是when all is taken into consideration（当一切都考虑进去时，即分析了各种可能性后得出结论）或when everything has happened or been settled。
