英语翻译
在NYtimes上看到一篇东东,貌似World expo和World'fair是有不同的,可中文翻译过来不都是世界博览会或者世界展览会的意思吗.
求达人解...
两个是一样的 参考——
Universal Exposition or Expo (short for "exposition",and also known as World Fair and World's Fair) is the name given to various large public exhibitions held since the mid-19th century.They are the third largest event in the world in terms of economic and cultural impact,after the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games.[citation needed] They have been organized for more than one and a half centuries — longer than both the (modern) Olympic Games and the World Cup.
世界博览会的一般都说world's fair.但是world exposition也有世博会的意思.只是在称呼习惯是略微不同,其实都是一个意思.
意境不同啊,expo 大,fair 小。从英语语境来说,小城市小地方的集会就叫fair,只有大城市大地方的大型集会才有资格叫 expo 。比如你们社区搞个国庆小聚会,要叫 expo 就有点吓人了,应该叫 fair ;国展搞个超大型的车展叫 fair 就傻了,不够气派。
