Question

英文翻译

The most frightening words in the English language are“Our computer is down”The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I'm sorry,I can't sell you a ticket Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down,just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticker.The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen They I asked her,“What do all your people do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip,and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down,you go down with it.”
“That’s right,sir.”
“How long will the computer be down? ”I wanted to know about it.
“I have no idea.Sometimes it’s down for lo minutes,sometimes for two hours.There is no way we can find out without asking the computer,and since it's down it won’t answer us. ”
After the girl told me they had not a backup computer,I said,“Let’s forget the computer.What about your planes? They’re still flying,aren't they?”
“I could't tell without asking the computer.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I don't know,”she said pointing at the dark screen “only it knows. it just can't tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines The words that the computer was down soon spread to other travelers Some people became angry;some people started to cry and others kicked their luggage.

Answer 1

在英语中最恐怖的话莫过于“我们的电脑出故障了”。一天，我在机场等候提取飞往华盛顿的机票，然而那个售票处的女服务员对我说：“我很抱歉，由于我们的电脑出现了故障，我现在无法给你办理机票了。”
“如果你们的电脑出现了故障，你给我们手办一张机票吧。”
“我无法给你们手写出一张机票，电脑是唯一允许可以这么做的。”
我看了看售票员和其他正站在那儿喝咖啡同时也盯着黑屏的电脑的乘客们，然后我问售票员:"你们这些工作人员是干什么的呢？”
“我们负责给电脑输入关于你们旅程的信息然后告知你们是否可以进行这次飞行'.
“这么说一旦电脑瘫痪了，你们也跟着“瘫痪”了”。
“可以这么说，先生。”
“电脑还将瘫痪多长时间？”我想知道。
“我不知道。有时是10分钟，有时是两个小时。除了问电脑自己我们无法确切的知道具体情况，但是一旦它出故障了它是不会告诉我们的。”
在那个女孩告诉我们说他们没有备用的电脑后，我对她说：“让我们忘了那电脑，现在告诉我你们的计划，他们仍是要乘飞机的，不是吗？”
“没有电脑我无法告诉你们情况。”
“除了接下来几小时的班机，是否还有其他飞往华盛顿的航线呢？”
“我不知道”，她一边指着黑屏的电脑一边说“只有它知道，但它无法告诉我。”
这时，有相当一部分人排队站着等候。关于电脑出故障的事情马上传到了其他乘客们的耳朵里。一些人很生气，一些人开始哭泣，其他人踢了踢他们的行李。

我不知道这样能不能符合你的要求，你可以再和别人的翻译比比，呵呵。

你好，翻译之前先给你提点小建议哈。我不建议在自我介绍里用到“因为我的英语不好”这样的语言。如果是应聘外企的话，只减分不会加分。这样子的语言即使翻译出来也会显得很奇怪。
翻译的时候我某些地方稍微修改了一下语气，意思没有改变。有标注出来。给你参考参考，呵呵。

Answer 5

看您想表达什么意思了。
如果您的“理想”是指“理想的”“合适的”，那“Miss
Right”可能更好；
如果你的“理想”是指“梦想的”“梦寐以求的”，那“dream
lover”可能更好；
当然如果您更想表达的是“在你眼中是完美的”，“Miss
Perfect”最好了。
至于加上张小姐，在"Miss
Right"或"Miss
Perfect"后再加"Miss
Zhang"显得不合适；my
dream
lover
Miss
Zhang倒说的过去。英语里很少这样称谓别人的，如果一定要说，也要分情况了。比如在叙述中可以说Miss
Zhang,
my/the
Miss
Perfect
