中式英语口语错误讲解

60. 截然不同

[误] Though the two brothers are twins, their dispositions are quite different.

[正] Though the two brothers are twins, their dispositons are as like as chalk and cheese.

翻译：虽然是双胞胎，但这两兄弟的性格却截然不同。

注：虽然是“不同”，但却不用 different，而是用 alike（相同的）。chalk 和 cheese 形似而实不同，这看似矛盾的措辞用在这里倒能产生令人难忘的效果。

Maggots breed in cheese.
蛆在乳酪里孳生。
