中文原文：

他看見鄰居富了，就紅眼。

錯誤譯文：

He became red-eyed when he saw his neighbour get richer.

正確譯文：

He became green-eyed when he saw his neighbour get richer.

翻譯加油站：

“紅眼”是“嫉妒”的意思。英語的red-eyed沒有“嫉妒”的比喻意義，而green-eyed(with envy/jealousy)才有“嫉妒”的意思。

“紅眼”的第一個意思是指“某些動物是天生紅眼睛的”。英語譯為red-eyed 或with red eyes。例如：紅眼樹蛙會改變皮膚顏色與其周圍環(huán)境融合。A red-eyed tree frog will change its skin color to blend in with its surroundings.

“紅眼”的第二個意思是指“人因熬夜、勞累、受傷或生病而產(chǎn)生的生理病變”。英語譯為red-eyed 或with red eyes。例如：他因勞累而眼紅。He is red-eyed from fatigue.“紅眼病”英語為acute conjunctivitis。例如：紅眼病是最常見的能傳染兒童的眼病。Conjunctivitis is the most common eye infection affecting children

“紅眼”的第三個意思是“發(fā)怒”或“發(fā)急”。英語譯為to see red, to become desperate, to become furious。例如：他賭錢輸紅眼了。He became desperate due to loss in gambling.

“紅眼”的第四個意思是“嫉妒”或“妒忌”，也可以說“犯紅眼病”。英語譯為to be green-eyed (with envy/jealousy), to be green with envy/ jealousy。例如：他看見別人生活比自己好就犯紅眼病。He is green with jealousy at seeing others become better off than him.

“紅眼航班”(red-eyed flight)，指路程遙遠，通宵飛行的航班。價格便宜，但乘客睡不好覺，眼睛熬紅。例如：沒有什么比回家更美好的了，而也沒有什么比花費半個夜晚在飛機場等待紅眼航班更糟糕的了。There is nothing better than going home and nothing worse than spending half the night at the airport waiting for a red-eyed flight.
