Question

他日夜工作来养活一大家子,但却牺牲了自己的健康。
译文: He worked day supporthis big family,but sacrificedhis health.
改译：He worked day supporthis big family at the expense of his health
为什么要这样改译？，but不可以吗？

Answer 1

根据你给的汉语，对照英语译文有些错误。"日夜工作"应译为 worked day and night, support 是动词，前面应该加 to, 改译的要求是换一种表达同一意思，并不是but不可用。友情提醒: supporthis 应该分开写成: support his

Answer 2

原文单词有问题，应该改为：
He worked day support his big family,but sacrificed his health。
他白天工作养活他的大家庭，却牺牲了他的健康。
He worked day support his big family at the expense of his health
他以牺牲健康为代价，日以继夜地工作来养家糊口。（养活一大家子人）
at the expense of 以…为代价 ; 以牺牲…的利益为代价

Answer 3

他日夜工作来养活一大家子,但却牺牲了自己的健康。
译文: He worked day and night to support his big family at the expense of his health.
因为： sacrifice 是实质上的以身体的死亡做牺牲。
而 at the expense of health . 是以消耗身体健康为代价。

Answer 4

He worked day to support his big family, but he sacrificed his health.
改一下：
日夜 day and night
support改为to support
but后加个he更好，用but有点不太好，但也是可以的。
改译：He worked day and night to support his big family at the expense of his health.
这个更好，用介词短语更好。本回答被提问者采纳
