Chinese phrase
这里没有译出原文的语气 zhè lǐ méi yǒu yì chū yuán wén de yǔ qì
Meaning
The original tone is not conveyed here
When to use it
This says that a translation misses the original tone. It points to a difference in feeling, force, or politeness, often when the wording sounds too strong or too weak.
Example dialogue
原文是不用这么着急，译成你不可以着急，怎么样？ yuán wén shì bú yòng zhè me zhe jí yì chéng nǐ bù ké yǐ zháo jí zěn me yàng
The original says, "You don't need to hurry this much." How about translating it as "You must not hurry"?
这样译有点太强了，这里没有译出原文的语气。 zhè yàng yì yóu diǎn tài qiáng le zhè lǐ méi yǒu yì chū yuán wén de yǔ qì
That translation is a little too strong; the tone of the original is not conveyed here.
