问题     你知道中国最有名的人是谁?
    提起此人，人人皆晓，处处闻名。他姓差，名不多，是各省各县各村人氏。你一定见过他，一定听过别人谈起他。差不多先生的名字天天挂在大冢的口头，因为他是中国全国人的代表。
    差不多先生的相貌和你和我都差不多。他有一双眼睛，但看的不很清楚；有两只耳朵，但听的不很分明；有鼻子和嘴，但他对于气味和口味都不很讲究。他的脑子也不小，但他的记性却不很精明，他的思想也不很细密。
    他常常说：“凡事只要差不多，就好了。何必太精明呢?”
    他小的时候，他妈叫他去买红糖，他买了白糖回来。他妈骂他，他摇摇头说：“红糖白糖不是差不多吗?”
选项
答案           Do you know who is the most well-known person in China?
    The name of this person is a household word all over the country. His surname is Cha and his given name, Buduo, which altogether mean "About the Same". He is a native of every province, every country and every village in this country. You must have seen or heard about this person. His name is always on the lips of everybody because he is representative of the whole Chinese nation.
    Mr. Cha Buduo has the same physiognomy as you and I. he has a pair of eyes, but doesn’t see clearly. He has a pair of ears, but doesn’t hear well. He has a nose and a mouth, but lacks a keen sense of smell and taste. His brain is none too small, but he is weak in memory and sloppy in thinking.
    He often says, "Whatever we do, it’s OK to be just about right. What’s the use of being precise and accurate?"
    One day, when he was a child, his mother sent him out to buy her some brown sugar, but he returned with some white sugar instead. As his mother scolded him about it, he shook his head and said, "Brown sugar or white sugar, aren’t they about the same?"
解析 1．提起此人，人人皆晓，处处闻名：根据上下文，“处处闻名”指的是在中国家喻户晓，故译为“The name of this person is a household word all over the country”。
2．他姓差，名不多：如仅仅译为“His surname is Cha and his given name，Buduo”，外国读者只知其音，不知其意，故在后面加补充说明实有必要：which altogether mean“About—the-Same”。
3．是各省各县各村人氏：意为“每个省每个县每个村都有差不多先生”，故译为“He is a native of every province，every country and every village in this country”。
4．差不多先生的名字天天挂在大家的口头：译为“His name is always on the lips of everybody”，其中on the lips of everybody表示“挂在嘴边”之意。
5．相貌：physiognomy；the face；general features of a country(相貌；脸；国家的地势)。
6．但他对于气味和口味都不很讲究：意为“他的嗅觉和味觉都不太灵敏”，故译为“but lacks a keen sense of smell and taste”。
7．他的脑子也不小：译为“His brain is none too small”，其中none表示by no means；in no degree；not at all(绝不；决不；毫不)，强调他的脑子一点儿也不小，可就是记性不好，思维不清。
8．他的思想也不很细密：译为“He is…sloppy in thinking”，其中sloppy作“无条理”、“凌乱”解。
9．何必太精明呢：“何必”可译为“What’s the use of…”，故译为“What’s the use of being precise and accurate”。其中“精明”意为“精确”。
10．红糖：译为“brown sugar”，类似“红茶”译作“black tea”。
