As a native speaker of English, I was a bitconfused. I had never heard of this word “tingo”, and was curious about the title of the book.我最近找到了一本作者Adam Jacot de Boinod的书叫做《Tingo的意思》。作为一个母语是英语的人来说,我感到有点困惑。我从来没有听说过“tingo”这个词,所以对这本书的书名产生了兴趣。As I soon found out, even if you are not a native speaker, then going to your dictionary and looking up the word “tingo” will not help. In fact, you probably won’t find the word “tingo” there at all, andnot leastbecause of the fact that “tingo” is not an English word. “Tingo”, it seems, is one of very many words which cannot be translated into English – or at least one of those words which are very difficult to try and translate into English, or even into your own native language. 很快我便发现,即使你的母语不是英语,去字典里查找”tingo”的含义并没有任何帮助。事实上,你可能完全找不到”tingo”这个单词,也不特别因为”tingo”不是一个英文单词。”Tingo”感觉是众多不能被翻译成英语的单词之一——至少它是很难被尝试着翻译成英文的单词之一,或被翻译成你自己的语言也很困难。The book The Meaning of Tingo is a kind of dictionary, but perhaps a dictionary you will not find useful in the same way that your usual dictionary is. The Meaning of Tingo is a list of words from languages all over the world which have veryspecific, not to say very unusual, meanings.《Tingo的意思》这本书好像一本字典,但是却和你正常的字典不大一样。这是一本收集了全世界非常细致,并且非常不常规词汇的书。1450403160000责编:吴婷英国大使馆文化教育处145040316000011[]
