Setting

失之东隅,收之桑榆 shī zhī dōng yú , shōu zhī sāng yú (Trad.: 失之東隅,收之桑榆)

to lose at sunrise but gain at sunset (idiom); to compensate later for one's earlier loss; what you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts

失之东隅收之桑榆in english

207. 失之东隅,收之桑榆。


[误] Lose where the sun rises and gain where the sun sets.


[正] What one loses on the swings, he gets back on the roundabouts.


:第一句虽然将原文的意思忠实地表达了出来,但英国人仍然难以体会中文“日出之处日落之时”的内涵。因此,借用地道的英语说法才是最明智的选择。swings 是“秋千”,roundabouts 是“旋转木马”。swings and roundabouts 在英语中就表示“有得有失”。“失之东隅,收之桑榆”还可以直接用 It's all swings and undabouts 来表达。

shī zhī dōng yú , shōu zhī sāng yú
