回答1
taxi to hotel~~~~~~~~~~~~
taxi 是滑行的意思
hotel 是H的意思,这里代表H滑行道
这句话是滑到H道的意思。。

跪了~~

在哲学这种以发明不是人说的词汇为宗旨的领域内,诡谲的翻译如同诡谲的新词一般不胜枚举,譬如他者,譬如是者,譬如可XXX性
回答3
功利主义,utilitarianism
不清楚是译的不好还是文化差异所致,功利主义在中国是个绝对的贬义词,但是utilitarianism其实很中性,尤其是它作为伦理学学说。

ubuntu 官方翻译:友帮拓
http://www.ubuntu.com.cn/download
这是什么玩意?知道你友好、你开源,一个名字搞那么多内涵累不累啊?乌班图多好啊!
TOEFL:托福
怎么托?谁的福?
Chrome:酷容
这个根本没法吐槽了,但也只短暂出现过,不知道 Google 最终会怎么决定。
Evernote:印象笔记
logo 上印了个大象就叫印象笔记了么……我觉得 Evernote 的用处太广了,印象、笔记都太狭隘。

正则表达式(regular expression)。。。
我第一次读到的时候,这尼玛“正则”是个什么鬼东西啊。后来看港台那边好像翻译成 规则表达式 正规表达式,这哪个不比“正则”好啊。。真不知道哪个神人翻译的。。

trivial — 平凡的,例如:平凡解,平凡性。总觉得“平凡”二字带有文学色彩,不适合用在数学上,理解起来也不直接明了。

homosexuality – 同性恋
愚以为「同性爱」或者「同性性倾向」要更加合适一点。毕竟「恋」偏重于行为,「同性恋」让人感觉好像只是行为上的表现,是一种可以纠正的癖好。
sexuality
这个词我至今不知道该怎么翻译,它太超前了,不论是翻译成「性」还是「性别」,都不能充分表现这个词的涵义。也许「泛性」不错,但又太别扭。
p.s. 粘贴一段从老师的 PPT 那儿拷来的话:
- sex是指决定人类男女两性的性象谱的生物特征的总和
- sexuality 是指包括性、性别认同与性身份、性取向、性爱倾向、情感依恋、性爱和生殖在内的人的核心方面。它以思想、幻想、欲望、信仰、态度、价值、行为、实践、角色和关系予以体验或表达。Sexuality 是生物的、心理的、社会经济的、文化上的、伦理上的和宗教与精神上的诸因素互相影响的结果。
我想这个 sexuality 还真没有对应的词啊。

有些翻译不能从文字上看出其中的大致内涵,比较容易令人摸不到头脑,比如格式塔心理学。
有些名词过于抽象,根本不适合翻译过来,比如表征(representation)
有些名词不能覆盖原文所有含义,容易造成误解,比如内含适应性(inclusive fitness),个人认为翻译成广义适应度更好。
个人认为,中国大陆的翻译比较好,而港台略有欠缺。
一家之见,参考斟酌。
