句子:

這樣的人才難得。

誤譯:

Such kinds of talents are few / scarce.

正譯:

1)There are very few talents of such kind.

2)Such kind of talents is rare.

3)Such kind of talents is the rarity of rarities.

4)Talents of such kind are hard/difficult to get.

5)Talents of such kind are hard/difficult to find.

6)Talents of such kind are hard/difficult to come by.

翻譯加油站:

“難得”的第一個用法是前置或后置名詞，就是“難以得到”、“難求”或“難找”的意思，表示數量“稀少”或“罕見”。few不能用作表語，而只能用作定語。而scarce一般指某種事物的稀少，而不指某類人的罕見。

“難得”的第二個用法是后置動詞，表示時間頻度小，即次數很少。英語用seldom, hardly ever, rarely, very little, few 等表示。例如：

1)我難得去（一次）公園。

I go to the park very little.

2)我們難得有客人。

We seldom have visitors.
