70. 伴君如伴虎
[误] people have known that accompanying kings is just like accompanying tigers even since the ancient times.
[正] People have known that kings and bears often worry their keepers even since the ancient times.
翻译:自古以来人们就知道“伴君如伴虎”。
讲解:第一句译文西方人未必明白其中的含义,而第二句不仅将原文的意思准确表达出来了,还按照英语的习惯,把君王比作“熊”,十分地道。
