英语翻译
When my brother ,a notorious spender,came home for a visit,he told my father that he was going to get married and settle down[to live a more routine,stable life].Said Dad,“Why don’t you stay single and settle up [pay what one owes on an account or bill]?”这则幽默里settle down和settle up(用了双关)怎样翻译更好呢,我知道原本的意思,但是想翻译成中文仍然保持幽默的效果.
当我那个出了名的花钱大手大脚的兄弟回家时,他告诉我父亲,他准备结婚了,要安顿下来,过一个有规律的、稳定的生活.我父亲说:“你为什么不保持单身,付清你账单上的所有欠款呢?” (这样翻译好象也不幽默哦?不好意思,仅供参考~)
