1.庄周梦蝶:可译为ZhuangZhou'sDreamingofBecomingaButterfly。庄周梦蝶是庄子通过对梦中变化为蝴蝶和梦醒后蝴蝶复化为己的事件的描述与探讨,提出了人不可能确切地区分真实与虚幻和生死物化的观点。
2.家喻户晓的:可译为household,famous或者well-known。
3.解梦:可译为dreaminterpreting。
4.意旨:可译为implication,此处含有暗示的意味,所以不要翻译成order。
5.吉兆和厄运:吉、厄翻译为auspicious和inauspicious比较精确,如果考试时不确定单词拼写,也可以翻译为较为简单的good和bad。
