Culture Differencese_Please help correct it, thanks. Culture difference is very interesting. Last week, when I was doing translation, I was confused about the word "平安果“. And I was curious about how to say it in English, peaceful fruit, Christmas apple or Christmas eve apple? The question was asked on italki and was given the answers soon after posted. What a big surprise! I was told that "平安果” actually is not the tradition of Christmas in western countries. Another interesting example is also from translation. Once, I was asked to translate the following sentence:“ 我记得在与Mike的时候,他把合作比作一场婚姻。对此,我非常的认同。” into English. I used "I really agree with Mike when he analogized our partnership as a marriage.", but was told that usually western people don't use analogy in that way. And at last, I used referred to instead of analogy. Learning
