163. 史密斯先生覺得自己是個小人物,他多希望有一天能成為大人物啊!
[誤] Mr Smith always considers himself a small figure, and how he wishes to be a big figure one day!
[正] Mr Smith always considers himself nobody, and how he wishes to be somebody one day!
注:“小人物”也好,“大人物”也罷,是言其地位,而非體格。nobody 和 somebody 能準確表達這一中文意思,而 small figure 和 big figure 是指“小個子 ”和“大個子”,不要混淆噢!
