出賣與betray
在網路上看到這樣的標題："人到中年你的容貌出賣了你的內心"大意是："心慈則貌美。"
文中的 "出賣"顯然是從英文betray轉譯過來的。不過中文 "出賣"有負面的意思，betray則未必。例如："炊煙起處有人家"譯為The smoke betrays where the dwelling lies.便是完全了解betray意思的正確用法，並沒有 "出賣" 的意思。
"你的容貌出賣了你的內心"一句，事實上真正被 "出賣"的是原作者，說明他/她的中文比英文差。

The Lius are China’s first-generation billionaires, born into a world of Mao suits, food rations, price controls and Communist slogans. And the story of how they made their fortune is considered one of the guiding myths of China’s Communist party, a symbol of this country’s transformation over the last 30 years, since its unlikely embrace of capitalism. But their story also betrays the contradictions of modern China — a country where the average factory worker makes less than $50 a week.

美國人向來信科學不信偏方，重量級醫藥保健書明星不能走偏鋒出奇招，否則出版社把關先就過不了。曾任教美國賓州大學的南西‧史妮德曼（Nancy Snyderman），轉任美國NBC電視台醫藥新聞主編後知名度竄升，新近出版《致命的醫學小常識????》（Medical Myths That Can Kill You），封面打肖像牌顯見就是暢銷保單。新書走智性訴求，強調許多聽來的「醫學小常識」都是錯的；提醒讀者想活得健康長壽，就必須深入瞭解醫學知識背後的科學根據，在生活中實踐。
