別問我為什麼要翻譯 "狗眼看人低", 我自己也不知道為什麼! 也許是太無聊了, 需要自我挑戰一番...

直接翻譯 "狗眼看人低", 其實不難, 以下即是一例 (如果我翻的不對, 請不吝賜教):

• Dogs see only dwarfs

可是如果想要很容易地把將"狗眼看人低" 的英文改為 "不要狗眼看人低", 就很難採用帶有"狗"字的直接又傳神的罵人話了, 以下是一些意譯:

• To behave like a snob.
• To belittle others based on own narrow perception.
• To demean others based on own narrow perception.
• To misjudge others based on own small mind.

根據以上各例, "不要狗眼看人低" 則可譯為

• Don't behave like a snob.
• Don't belittle others based on your own narrow perception.
• Don't demean others based on your own narrow perception.
• Don't misjudge others based on your own small mind.

所以說, 翻譯"狗眼看人低" 其實不簡單, 以下是目前為止我所能想到的:

• To behave like a dog that sees people as short as itself (狗眼看人低)
• Don't behave like a dog that sees people as short as itself (不要狗眼看人低)
• You are behaving like a dog that sees people as short as itself (你真是狗眼看人低)
• To behave like a dog that sees only dwarfs (狗眼看人低)
• Don't behave like a dog that sees only dwarfs (不要狗眼看人低)
