汉译英常见错误 | 班机不直达美国,而取道日本

[译] 班机不直达美国,而取道日本。
[误] The airliner doesn't go directly to America. It goes by way of Japan.

[正] The airliner doesn't go direct to America. It goes by way of Japan.
[注] direct 和 directly 都有"直接地"的意思,但 direct 用于具体意义"不间断"、"不拐弯"、"不转向"。directly 多用于抽象意义上的"直接地",如:The measure doesn't affect me directly. 此举指对我无直接影响。
