“薄利多銷”的英文應該這麽講：

之前曾經有人問“薄利多銷”英文怎麽講呀？

於是有的人就翻譯成：Small profits but quick returns; small profits and good sales

這個翻譯從意思上是沒有譯錯，但是它卻不是一個最佳的翻譯。

要把中文俗語翻譯成英文時，要盡量譯成有英文相對應的“oral language”，才是一個最佳的翻譯。

而中文俗語“薄利多銷”，事實上在英文裏是有一句相對應的“oral language”，那就是：Small earns & big returns.

所以“薄利多銷”的英文應該這麽講：Small earns & big returns.


我再寫出來與大家分享，嗬嗬～祝周末愉快！
