| it is all in the eye of the beholder 这完全决定于一人的主观意见 or 这完全依赖每人的主观概念 Explanation: This is a derivative of the idiom "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Here are some links that explain that idiom: http://home.t-online.de/home/toni.goeller/idiom_wm/id65.htm http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/beauty-is-in-th... http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=2511 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2005-05-21 02:40:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 这完全取决于一人的主观意念 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2005-05-21 02:52:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here specifically it means that the stock markets (around the world) swing up and down wildly depending on how different people interpret different economic data on different days |

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1| it is all in the eye of the beholder 取决于当事人的观点 Explanation: The article was addressing to the general public with no mentioning of ‘stockholder 股东’ or ‘investor 投资者’, therefore, using those terms in the translation would be presumptive. To me, beholder (in this context) could best be thought of as “everyone = 每人, 个人, 各人” or “involved person = 当事人” It is all in the eye of the beholder = 取决于当事人/每人/个人/各人的观点 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs 38 mins (2005-05-21 07:43:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To take care the \"all\" in that sentence, we need to add \"完全\" It is all in the eye of the beholder = 完全取决于当事人的观点 |

peer agreement (net): +2Suggestion Explanation: 所有这些旁观者看得很清楚. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-05-21 04:43:43 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If the context allows it, you can just say \"旁观者清. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs 2 mins (2005-05-22 01:07:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 前述的是客观情况,可不是别人怎么看的问题，并不“完全取决于当事人怎么看待”。。这句话应该意为“所有这些旁观者看得很清楚”。 |
