不知有没人看过《世界上最美丽的英文》这本书,里面有一句英文：Like the bats of Jays and Yanks Make my wish a homer.中文翻译是：鸟儿鸟儿快飞,把我的心愿带到家.
我很不明白前半局为什么要翻译成鸟儿鸟儿快飞.
jay -- any of several noisy,vivacious birds of the crow family,subfamily Garrulinae,as the crested Garrulus glandarius,of the Old World,having brownish plumage with blue,black,and white barring on the wings.Compare blue jay,gray jay.
yank -- (Informal)A Yankee
homer -- hom‧er1 /ˈhoʊmər/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[hoh-mer] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1.Baseball.home run.
2.homing pigeon.
–verb (used without object) 3.Baseball.to hit a home run:The catcher homered in the ninth with one on to take the game.
这句话双重含义:既指鸟把握的心愿带到家,像传信鸽(homer) 又指纽约的Yankee队击出本垒打(homer)－－是双重比喻心愿达成
