希望对你有用原文：She spoke with a touch of vinegar.译文：她说话带着一点醋意。辨析：乍一看译文一点不错，还有点文采，但实际上却是错译。此句的关键在于vinegar的隐喻含义。Vinegar是“醋”不错，但这两个中英文词只有在指那种带酸味的调料（即词的本义）时，意思才是一样的。“说话带点醋意”当然不指说话人嘴里真的带醋味儿，而是隐喻，表示妒忌（即隐含意义connotative meaning）。然而，英语中的vinegar的隐含意义不同于汉语“醋”的隐含意义，与嫉妒无关，而是表示“不高兴”或“尖酸刻薄”。因此，原句应译为：她说的有点刻薄。不过要注意：vinegar在美语中还有“精力充沛”的意思，如a kid full of vinegar是“一个活蹦乱跳的小伙子”。反过来，汉语的“吃醋”当然也不能译成eat/taste vinegar，而应是be jealous。有趣的是，英语文化中把“嫉妒”和jaundice（黄疸）连起来，说某人嫉妒是bejaundiced。顺便说一下，形容一个人言谈迂腐、说话酸溜溜的，英语是pedantic或priggish；a sour fellow是“一个脾气乖张的人”；the sweet and sour of life则指“人生苦乐”。与之有关的颜色隐喻，英汉也不一样，汉语中嫉妒别人常说“得了红眼病”，而英语却说green-eyed。嫉妒被称为green-eyed monster；莎士比亚把“嫉妒”称为the green sickness。1.吃醋 He/She is green.解释一下~My brother's new girlfriend turns out to be a green eyed monster.A(The) green eyed monster 出於莎士比亚文集，在英文的说法里，泛指吃醋的心理情绪，不是指绿眼怪兽喔！2.
