五月四号的日记

我跟我的中国朋友有一点论争。在英文里(上),讨论英文翻译的时候(把英文的翻译讨论的时候),我经常用"awkward"这个词。我查了这个词,然后找到了“蹇拙”(我查找这个词和我找到”蹇拙“)。我的朋友说这个词很奇怪。她说这个词几乎不说。她建议别的词。”尴尬“”奇怪“和"笨拙”。可是我说“尴尬”还有别的意思是“不好意思”。这个意思不是我用"awkward"的意思。而且“奇怪”是一点“少见”的意思和"奇“和诡异的意思。”红色的大象(红的象)很奇怪“我说(说我)。再说”笨拙“有意思是愚蠢,笨。可是”蹇拙“只有(有只)我的意思。再说”蹇拙“是讨论写作时用的(意图说对写文)。她提出”别扭“.这个词还不错()这是很好。可是我还觉得“蹇拙”比“别扭”好。巧的是,(偶然)我想表达的意思是有一点“不方便”和“难懂”,还有一点“不文雅” (这个意思我想表达是一点“不方便”和“了解得不容易”和“一点”俗气“”不文雅“)可是不“低俗”。


关于awkward这个词,中文里没有意思一样的词。在谈论写作的时候,我们可能会说“不通顺”“不恰当”,要看是什么样的错误。”蹇拙“真的很少用,我是第一次见到。

我要使用“别扭”特别口语里,虽然“不通顺”和“不流畅”都也很好。可是蹇拙太少见了是糟糕。我不想听起来突兀/浮华/矫情?我也不知道“晦涩”。这是一个好词。可是一点不一样. "cryptic" for 晦涩 has a connotation in English of possibly a secret, and in any case possibly intentionally 可以故意难懂。 谢谢

蹇拙:" 文章或修辞呆板不流畅"。is this the meaning you intended to express? Besides, this is the first time I heard of this word, and it's not even appeared in 《现代汉语词典》。how about 晦涩.
