下面这句摘自高中英语新教程人教版必学一 p5:
She also made friends and began to explore the city with them.
请问这个句子怎么样翻译?尤其是 explore the city 怎么样通俗地翻译成中文?
句中的 explore 意思是 to travel over or through in order to learn more about it or to find something,普通的词典将它翻译成“勘查”“探测”“实地考察”,其实用这类意思来翻译 explore 时,常常感觉非常别扭。其实可依据语境翻译成“探访”“游逛”“游览”等。如:
She also made friends and began to explore the city with them. 她还结交了一些朋友,并开始与他们一块游玩这座城市。
They set out on foot to explore the city. 他们步行出发去探访这城市。
In between two meals we explored the city. 大家在两顿饭之间的时间游览了那个城市。
Our tour guide was nowhere to be seen, so we set off to explore thecity alone. 大家的导游不见了,所以大家就自己在城里游逛。
