歌词与翻译

[中文]

大家好，我是Dana！

又到了翻译英文俗语为德语的时候了。

为什么呢？就是想玩玩而已。

我之前也做过一次，翻译关于生病的英文习语。

还有在我刚刚有关美国空调以及佛罗里达酷热潮湿天气的视频之后，

我一直在想天气的事。

今天要把和天气有关的英文习语逐字翻译成德语。

（接上）逐字译成德语。

我已经尽力翻译了，但如果你有更好的逐字翻译，

或者有真正的德语俗语表达同样意思，请在

评论里告诉我。

谢谢大家。

英文里有句说法：“something is a breeze”，意思是某事非常轻松。

学德语根本不难，简直小菜一碟。

当然，这句话其实不是真实的。

学德语并不是轻而易举的事。

不过，“it’s a breeze”表示这件事超简单。

那么相对应的德语应该是“es ist eine Brise”。

你们能说出来吗？

如果工作堆得让你应接不暇，可以说

你已经被工作埋没了（snowed under）。

自从我们公司接手了新客户，我就一直被工作压得喘不过气。

德语里是 “untergeschneit” 还是 “geschneit unter”？

但我觉得这根本说不通，对吧？

哦，是的，相信我。

一得知他们的计划，我们就离开了公司。

英文中 “to get wind of something” 意思是听说或得知某事

正在发生的事情。

逐字翻译这个表达让我费了不少劲。

我想把它译成 “davon Wind bekommen”，但我并不满意。

如果你有更好的逐字翻译，请在评论里告诉我。

当然，谈到天气习语，离不开下面这句：

“下猫下狗”——形容倾盆大雨。

这句话直译的话一定非常滑稽荒唐。

在任何不使用这句俗语的语言里都会如此。

啊，Stefan，你看到了吗？

外面下着猫和狗！

对我来说在德语里仍然能理解，因为我从小就听英语里这句。

我猜第一次听到这句话的人一定会惊讶地问：“什么？”

猫和狗从天而降？你在说什么？

那么雨常常会伴随什么？

当然是雷声。

在英语里，你甚至要“保住自己的雷声”，防止被别人抢走。

同一天，新郎在婚礼上向女友求婚。

在婚礼上。

他彻底抢了风头。

“Steal someone’s thunder” 意为夺走别人的关注。

那么在德语里应该是 “Donner stehlen”。

这听起来有道理吗？还是非常非常怪异？

说回雨，如果有人彻底毁了你的东西或计划，

可以说他们给你的游行淋了雨（rain on your parade）。

很抱歉扫了你的兴，但你不能把狗带上过山车。

很抱歉给你的游行下雨，但你不能带你的狗

不能带上过山车。

继续说雨的主题：“雨下得越大，越倾盆”。

意思是好事或坏事一旦发生，就会接二连三地

好到极点，坏到极点。

所以这句话可以用于两种极端情况。

多年努力交友后，我竟然在一周内交了五个新朋友。

雨下得越大，越倾盆！

或者相反的例子：今天我失业了，车坏了，手机掉进马桶，甚至把烤面包烤糊了。

雨下得越大，越倾盆。

那么德语里可以说：“Wenn es regnet, dann schüttet es.”

So in German I guess: "Wenn es regnet, dann schüttet es."

这有道理吗？

我猜并没有。

我还有另外两个，但我觉得这两个在德语里已经有对应的说法了。

in German as well.

你可以说 “icebreaker”。

这在德语里是 “Eisbrecher”。

还有 “fair-weather friends”，德语称为 “Schönwetterfreunde”。

那么请问这些说法在德语里是否通顺，还是听起来很怪？

你们最喜欢的全球天气习语有哪些？

还有哪些你喜欢的搞笑习语，直译成别的语言？

请在下方评论告诉我。

下次再见，Auf Wiedersehen！

很抱歉给你的游行下雨，但你真的不能带…你的狗！

天啊，真是糟糕的一天！外面下着猫和…狗！

直译成任何不使用这句话的语言，都会是……

或者……等一下。不。对！是的，是的，是的，是的。

好了好了，我懂了。

Hey everyone, Dana here!

Time for another round of English sayings translated literally into German.

Why? Just for a little fun.

I did this before with sick English idioms, idioms about being sick.

And now after my video about air conditioning in the U.S. and the crazy hot, humid weather

in Florida in the summer, I’ve had weather on my mind.

So today it’s English idioms having something to do with the weather, translated word

for word into German.

I did the best that I could with the translations, but if you have a better word for word translation,

or if there is an actual German saying that means the same thing, please let me know in

the comments.

Thank you.

In English we have the saying that something is a breeze if it’s really easy.

Learning German is no big deal at all. It’s a breeze.

Of course that right there was not a true statement.

Learning German is not a breeze.

But anyway, "it’s a breeze" means that something is super easy.

So I guess “es ist eine Brise” in German.

Can you say that?

If you have so much work to do that it’s really just overwhelming you, you can say

that you’re snowed under.

Ever since we took on that new client at work, I’ve just been snowed under.

In German: Unter geschneit or geschneit unter?

But I think that make no sense at all, right?

Oh yeah, believe me.

As soon as we got wind of their plan, we left the company.

In English “to get wind of something” means to hear about something or learn that

something is going on.

I had a tricky time translating this expression word for word into German.

I guess: davon Wind bekommen. But I’m not so happy with it.

So if you have a better word for word translation for that, please let me know in the comments.

Of course, we can’t talk about weather idioms without mentioning the saying:

it’s raining cats and dogs.

Which, I just feel like must sound really funny and ridiculous translated word for word

into any language that doesn’t actually use that saying.

Ugh, Stefan, hast du das gesehen?

Es regnet Katzen und Hunde da draußen!

To me it still makes sense in German, because I grew up using the saying in English.

But I’m guessing that anyone who heard this saying for the first time would be like: what?

Cats and dogs falling from the sky? What are you talking about?

And what often comes along with rain?

Why thunder of course.

And in English you actually have to protect your thunder from getting stolen by someone else.

The same day that they got married, the best man proposed to his girlfriend.

At the wedding.

He completely stole their thunder.

Stealing someone’s thunder can mean to take the attention away from someone else.

So in German I guess "Donner stehlen."

Does that make any sense, or it just sounds really, really weird?

Sticking with rain, if someone completely ruins something for you or ruins your plans,

you can say that they rained on your parade.

I’m sorry to rain on your parade, but you can’t bring your dog on the rollercoaster.

Es tut mir Leid, auf deine Parade zu regnen, aber du kannst deinen Hund

nicht auf die Achterbahn mitnehmen.

And, still on the subject of rain: "when it rains, it pours."

Meaning that when something either good happens or bad happens, then it happens really, really

good or really, really bad.

So this saying can go in either direction, but in an extreme way.

After years of trying to make friends, I suddenly made 5 new friends in one week.

When it rains, it pours!

Or on the other end of it: today I lost my job, my car broke down, I dropped my phone

in the toilet, and now I burned my toast.

When it rains, it pours.

So in German I guess: "Wenn es regnet, dann schüttet es."

Does that make any sense at all?

I'm guessing that it does not.

There are two more that I have, but I think that these ones actually do already exist

in German as well.

You can have an icebreaker.

Which I believe is Eisbrecher in German.

And fair-weather friends: Schönwetterfreunde

So my question for you is: did these sayings make any sense in German, or just sound really weird.

What are your favorite weather idioms around the world?

And what are your favorite funny idioms translated literally, word for word into another language?

Until next time, auf Wiedersehen!

Es tut mir Leid auf deine Parade zu regnen, aber du kannst deine...deinen Hund!

Man, was für ein Tag! Es regnet Katzen und...Hunde da draußen!

Word for word into any saying...into any language that doesn't use that saying.

Or...wait. No. Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Alright, alright. I got it.
