MICASE Kibbitzer

Tim Johns was the originator of the Kibbitzer pages (at Birmingham University).
Each kibbitzer page contains the discussion of a language problem, which may
be mainly lexical (to do with vocabulary), syntactic (mostly to do with grammar),
or discoursal (how ideas are linked), or it may be from more than one of these
areas.

PS: Kibbitzer 怎么翻成中文？花絮？嚼口舌？唠叨？


Kibitzer

n : (Yiddish) a meddler who offers unwanted advice to others

How about 絮语?

John M. Swales给大家提了一个很好的研究建议，即How to do MICASE-based Investigations:
Starting with a Word。这也正如我们在“研究习作”中给大家出的一些题目的初衷是一样的。

 

[xujiajin]

想来想去还是觉得翻成“闲话”较好。
絮语太过文气。

 

[xujiajin]

从Swales的研究想到的：
汉语中常说“谢谢您的关心”对应的英文不应该是Thank you for your concern.吧，因为concern总有一种忧虑、担心的意思在里面。是不是可以翻成Thank you for your concern.

“谢谢您一贯以来的关照”怎么翻比较好呢？
