中式英語之鑑:覺得他有婚外戀

padding-bottom: 100%;">

我們這兒的人都覺得他有婚外戀。

[誤] Pepple around here all feel that he has affairs outside his own marriage.

[正] Pepple around here all feel that he is leading a double life.

注：affair 本身就指“私通”或“曖昧關係”，當然是“婚外”的事，所以
outside one's own marriage 無疑是多此一舉了。英語中“有婚外戀”的地道說法應該是
lead a double life。
