中式英語之鑑:激動的心情
93. 歐文按捺不住激動的心情,大聲喊道:“我中獎了!”
[誤] Owen couldn't hold back his exciting feeling, and he shouted, "I've got the winning number in the bond!"
[正] Owen couldn't hold back his excitement, and he shouted, "I've got the winning number in the bond!"
注:exciting feeling 這種搭配很不地道,雖然“振奮人心的消息”是 exciting news,“有趣的故事”是 interesting story,但“激動的心情”卻要用名詞形式 excitement 來表達。
