英语翻译
But you're not a major seasonal spirit for hundreds of
years without being able to leap to a large conclusion from a standing start.
这个故事讲得是有关圣诞老人的,major seasonal spirit 可能于此有关.
Father Christmas looked down at the letter in his hand.It was certainly
the neatest letter he'd ever got.Very few letters to him were typed and
duplicated 50,000 times,and almost none of them listed product numbers
and prices to six decimal places.He was more used to pink paper with
rabbits on it.But you're not a major seasonal spirit for hundreds of
years without being able to leap to a large conclusion from a standing
start.
只用翻译最后一句就行了。
英语翻译But you're not a major seasonal spirit for hundreds ofye
直译不太容易,我大概可以意译.
“如果你不能从事情本身(用跳跃式的联想)得到一个结论,你也不会成为几百年来一个季节性的象征了”
这个应该结合上下文来看,意思是说圣诞老人拿到的信虽然很奇怪(和他平时接触的东西不同),但如果他不能从中进行联想,推断出信的意思,那圣诞老人也不会成为这么多年来人们迷信的spirit了.
所以虽然信很奇怪,圣诞老人可能还是看懂了.因此才有后来他与TOM的对话.
