peer agreement (net): +1正式的，隆重的庆祝 Explanation: 同样是黑，前面纯洁的黑充满了历史性`纪念性意义，后来所说的黑更进一步增加这玩意儿之黑色所包含的名贵潇洒风度。 It's a play with the word "black". It's rhetoric. 文风嘛。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2004-07-01 07:35:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://fashion.about.com/cs/glossary/a/partydefinition.htm |

9 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1try Explanation: My understanding is it is more costly, formal and expensive-looking. Fifty Fathoms以最初的黑色（设计）来庆祝二十五周年纪念，唯一不同的是(this is basically the meaning, but you can choose your own wording)：这款的标价更加昂贵，表身亦更正式，考究。 |

peer agreement (net): +1就算是黑马配黑鞍吧 Explanation: 确实有难度！我认为，从上下文及asker的注解来看，这款潜水表价格奇高，恐怕一般人难以消受。black tie是隆重礼节时打的黑色领结，高贵，隆重。如果用西方的领结来翻译（就算是潜水一族的黑领结），目标语言的阅读者不一定能完全理解，还是变通一下，中国有句话，叫好马配好鞍，索性这个地方翻译成黑马配黑鞍，即符合中文想要表达的意思，同时也能兼顾英文上下文的强调的black。仅供参考。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 17 hrs 4 mins (2004-07-04 00:03:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 黑马，当然是潜水一族，黑鞍，就是指这款昂贵的潜水表 |
