如题所述
这是一句美国“俗语”,通常表达为you have to play the hand you're dealt. 其中hand为手牌的意思。也就是说“你拿到什么牌,就得怎么打”,寓意为“不要抱怨运气,面对现实,积极处理”。
但是楼主问的是don't just play...而且后半句...wear it(穿上它)也毫无关联。
我特意查了一下,原来这句话是一个服装品牌的宣传语而已。
这个品牌貌似原来是做扑克牌的?现在也卖服装,所以在这条与打牌有关的俗语基础上开了个“玩笑”,做成宣传口号。
这种翻译恐怕不能直译,只能意译,难度有点高,而且作为广告语,不仅要求翻译准确,更要符合宣传的要求——就好比Nike的宣传口号“just do it”也很难直接翻译。建议你去找专业的广告公司构思这个品牌的中文宣传语。追问
hand 是 dealt的什么呢 怎么还是个被动?
追答deal作“发牌”的意思,是及物动词。the hand是deal的宾语。
例:he shuffles and deals the cards 他洗牌后发了牌。
这里dealt 是deal的被动,因为玩家是“被发牌”
不是。。。有点晕 都被动了 后面怎么还会接宾语呢?
追答这里是一个定语从句,而且省略了一个that
play the hand(that)you are dealt.
在从句“that you are dealt”中,deal是谓语,that(代the hand)是宾语,两者间关系为被动
你还是学生吗?学过定语从句了吗?如果没学过这个语法,当然不太容易理解。
学了。。。我的意思是怎么能被动后面还接名词。。。举个例子可以么
追答这里是双宾语,双宾语的被动就会出现被动后面+名词
He gave her some money.即 He gave some money to her.他给她一些钱。
被动:
Some money was given to her by him. 钱被他给了她
She was given some money by him.她被他给了钱
省掉by him:
She was given some money. 她被给了钱(不明确是谁给的)
这里be given后面就是名词some money.
你的句子中,就是 Sb, deal you the hand.某人给你发牌——>You are dealt the hand by sb.你被某人发牌。这里可sb.是不明确的(不妨理解为”命运“),所以省略了by sb.
所以,the hand (that) you are dealt 就是”你被发到的牌“。
哇 解释的太好了 您说的肯定都对吧? 我能加您为好友 以后继续问问题么
追答可以啊 没问题
答:第一次见到。回答问题也是一个学习的过程。谢谢你的问题。
翻译需要理解,理解需要上下文。你最好给出上下文。
先自己从网上搜索,看这句话的出处。
没找到,只找到:类似的一句话:You may have to play the hand you're dealt , but you can play it with clever resolve.
查词典:
deal:
2 a. 发<纸牌>
D~ the cards.
发牌吧
b. 发<纸牌>给<某人><out>;
发<纸牌>给[某人]<out>[to]
He dealt each
player four cards. = He dealt four cards to each player.
他发给 (玩牌者)
每人四张牌
确实 the hand you're dealt =the hand of cards that you're deat. 指发给你的那一手牌。
这是网上摘来的:
问:You play the hand you're dealt, and you play it to the best of your abllity. The rest is irrelevant.What is the mean of "you play the hand you're dealt"?
答1:It would be best if you could provide some more context to be sure - but I suspect that this is a metaphorical reference to a game of cards where you have no choice over which cards you receive (you are dealt a "hand" of cards), you must simply try to play the game as best you can with those cards.
答:2. To play the hand your are dealt means to not complain about not having an optimal situation but to just deal with things as they are and make the best of it that you can
还是Google好,找到了另一篇,与它有关:
Don’t Just Play The Hand You’re Dealt…Wear It
Posted by Kimba Kay inEntertainment, Fashion, Hair, MakeupApril 12, 2012
The college I attend was supposed to have this awesome runway show called “Project Runway IRSC”. Students who wanted to participate had to pick a model to style their hair, makeup, outfit, and even pick a song for them to walk to. I was super excited because my long-term goal is working backstage at fashion shows. Apparently I was the only one who was excited because the day of, I was the only one who showed up prepared and with a model….what the heck guys? I still got my extra credit, but I was a little let down that I didn’t get to show out. I put a lot of thought behind this, and learned to sew in the process.I bought a black pencil skirt at Charlotte Russe for $20. I sewed the bottom of an old red tutu I got from Hot Topic to the bottom of the black skirt.
After I had the tutu sewed on I went out and bought some red yarn and a new deck of playing cards, so I could sew some of the face cards onto the skirt. Ironically enough when I opened the deck there was card advertising for “poker” clothes. The card said “Don’t just play the hand your dealt…wear it”. I thought, “This is perfect!”. It was meant to be.
原来,这是一家生产 "Poker" 牌服装的广告,而且广告正好做进了一幅扑克牌中!
试译:别光着打扑克,穿上它!(扑克牌服装)。
这就是个广告。我的汉语版,“光着”,意为光着身子打扑克,也是“just, only”的意思。
Don't just play the hand you're dealt...wear it.
句法分析:两个祈使句。一个don't do sth. 一个do sth.
第一个祈使句中the hand之后有一个定语从句you're dealt. 省略了关系代词that
deal 是个双宾动词, deal sb. a hand of cards, 发给某人一手牌。
这个关系代词that就是省略了,但不是我们常说的那种省略。
Alice gave Bob Cards. 主谓间宾+直宾。改为被动语态:
Bob was given Cards. 句法分析:
Bob. 主语
was given 谓语。
这cards算什么语呢?这真是一个新问题,从来没有遇到过!
宾语+宾补,改主被动语态后,宾语成主语,宾补成主补。
而间宾+直宾,改为被动语态之后,一个成主语,另一个呢?还真没听说过!
这就是楼主感到难以理解的地方吧。
我也不知道。反正这个that就是省略了。
the hand 这里是借代,也可以说是省略。并不是指“那只手”,而是指发给你的那手牌。
这句话不是比喻说法。但“扑克”,“一手牌”,“扑克”牌服装,在这里是一语双关。本回答被网友采纳
比如:don't look at me,perv!
里面还有祈使句的一些用法:●肯定结构:
1. Do型(即:动词原形(+宾语)+其它成分)。如:Please have a seat here. 请这边坐。
有的祈使句在意思明确的情况下,动词可省略。如:This way, please. = Go this way, please. 请这边走。
2. Be型(即:Be + 表语(名词或形容词)+其它成分)。如:Be a good boy! 要做一个好孩子!
3. Let型(即:Let + 宾语 + 动词原形 + 其它成分)。如:Let me help you. 让我来帮你。
●否定结构:
1. Do型和Be型的否定式都是在句首加don't构成。如:Don't forget me! 不要忘记我!
Don't be late for school! 上学不要迟到!
2. Let型的否定式有两种:“Don't + let + 宾语 + 动词原形 + 其它成分”和“Let + 宾语 + not + 动词原形 + 其它成分”。如:Don't let him go. / Let him not go. 别让他走。
3. 有些可用no开头,用来表示禁止性的祈使句。如:No smoking! 禁止吸烟!No fishing! 禁止钓鱼!
