勿讲中国式英语
身体蹦儿棒
翻译：他的身体很健康。
Chinese Style --His body is healthy.
American Style -- He is in good health. / He's healthy.
在英语中，“健康”是“人健康”，而我们汉语中则说“身体健康”。英汉两种语言在这个问题上的思维不一样，可别用汉语的思维去套英语的表达
被雷劈
翻译：昨天晚上他的房子被雷劈了。
Chinese Style --His house was struck by thunder last night.
American Style --His house was struck by lightning last night.
打雷了，这个所谓的雷其实是声音。被雷劈了，这个所谓的雷其实是光，也就是闪电。不是有句成语吗？电闪雷鸣。如果有人主持勿讲美国式汉语的话，我就可以出题：His house was struck by lightning last night.估计绝大多数老美会说被闪电劈，而不是被雷劈。
