我對＂行百里者半九十的譯法＂

這句話是對人通往成功的路上要不斷努力的鼓勵，換句話說，不要因為小小的成功，就自滿．小小的成功還不算成功，一定要百分之百的成功才算成功．
我的譯法是：A one hundred-mile way of success, ninty miles may be only the half.
第一個　＂Hundred-mile"　未加S，因他是當形容詞用，用以形容名詞 way.
第二個　＂Ninety miles" 加了S,因為它是名詞，又是多數，故加S.

不怎麼樣，給native speaker看看，他們未必明白是什麼意思。

Let me tell you, my writing and translation are better than native white people, especially my translation.

When you finish 90% of your task, you should still consider it only 50% done.

How do you think of 我對＂行百里者半九十的譯法＂?

You're only half way to success even when you reach the 90-mile marker on a 100-mile journey.

Ninty percent done is only half way.

a journey of 100 miles ,

8樓， how about:

"90% done is no more than half the battle"?  強調「只不過是」？

#10 is the best so far...

樓主的翻譯is the worst...
太拗口

想了想，原來在10樓寫的還是太啰嗦。可簡化為

「90% done is but half the battle.」

    這才像我的兒子

90% bang is only half the fun. No final 10% ejaculation, nothing will be done. Using sex act as the best illustration.

1."A one hundred-mile way of journey" should be "A one-hindred-mile"
2.You need to know that you can't create a language. You can only learn it. So you said your "writing and translation are better than"the whites; no one in the world but you believe it. Almost everything you translated has mistakes. You really need to pay attention to your attitude.

one-hundred-mile

Like Michael's

樓主翻譯的什麼呀？
