中文原文：

我對如何理財略知一二。

錯誤譯文：

I know a thing or two about how to make financial planning.

正確譯文：

I know a little about how to make financial planning.

翻譯加油站：

初學者容易望文生義，看見to know a thing or two就想當然地理解為“略知一二”。其實to know a thing or two的意思正相反，是to have practical and useful information gained from experience，即“因富有經驗而熟悉”或“見多識廣”。進一步有to be shrewd, to possess worldly wisdom的意思,即“精明”、“世故”。實際上，to know a thing or two about how to make financial planning的意思是“熟知如何理財”。例如：這位老人熟知股市。 The old man knows a thing or two about the stock market.

“略知一二”可以譯為to know a little of/about, to have a rough idea of/about, to slightly know。例如：他什么事情都略知一二。He knows a little of everything.

雖然我對高爾夫球僅略知一二，但是我知道它是富人的體育運動。I know only a little about golf, but I know it is a sport for the rich.

“略略”、“略微”、“稍稍”和“稍微”可以譯為slightly, a little, a bit, somewhat。例如：食油價格已經略微上漲。

1) The price of cooking oil has slightly risen.

2) The price of cooking oil has risen a little.

他們稍稍改善了工作條件。They have slightly improved their working conditions.
