translate
★★
🇺🇸 /tɹænzlˈeɪt/
🇬🇧 /tɹænz-/
主要表示“把某种内容或状态带到另一种形式、语言或位置”：最常见的是“翻译”，也可指口译；在数学和物理学中还表示平移。
💡 记忆钩子
把 translate 想成“把东西带到另一边”：把一种语言里的信息带到另一种语言，就是“翻译”；把说话人的意思带给听众，就是“口译”；把物体或图形整体带到另一个位置，就是“平移”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“翻译”和“为某人做口译”这两个现代常用义，再认识数学、物理学中的“平移”义。
- 不要把 translate 只理解成书面翻译；它也能表示现场口译。
- 古旧义项大多不会在日常英语中遇到，阅读历史或专业文本时再按上下文理解即可。

core 翻译📖 把文字、讲话或其他信息从一种语言转换成另一种语言，使另一种语言的读者或听众能够理解。💡 常用结构是“translate A into B”，表示“把甲翻译成乙语”；也可以说“translate from A into B”，说明从哪种语言译到哪种语言。表示翻译具体作品时通常直接接宾语，不要误加介词；“translate”本身既可指书面翻译，也可泛指语言转换。transitiveShe translated the article into Chinese for our website.她把这篇文章翻译成中文，供我们的网站使用。This guide has been translated from Japanese into English.这本指南已从日语翻译成英语。

common 口译📖 在两种语言之间即时传达讲话内容，通常发生在会议、旅行或交谈中；重点是现场把一方的话说给另一方听。💡 常用结构是“translate for someone”或“translate between languages”，表示“为某人做口译”或“在两种语言之间口译”。这里通常是不及物用法，不要照搬书面翻译的“translate something into something”结构来描述现场口译。正式场合也常用更具体的词表示口译，但“translate”在普通交流中很自然。intransitiveCould you translate for us while we talk to the doctor?我们和医生谈话时，你能帮我们做口译吗？

🌳 词源
来自拉丁语，原本有“带过去、运送”的意思，后来发展出“把信息带到另一种语言或形式中”的含义；英语中的 transfer 与它有共同词源。
From Middle English translaten (“to transport, translate, transform”), from Anglo-Norman translater, from Latin trānslātus, perfect passive participle of trānsferō (“to transport, carry across, translate”). See also -ate (verb-forming suffix). Distant doublet of transfer, see collate and confer, delate and defer, as well as prelate and prefer among others.
In this sense, displaced Old English wendan (“to translate,” also the word for “to turn” and “to change”).
