1.計算輔助工具形式:翻譯為a form of manually operated counting aid,其中aid一詞本意為“有助之物”,用在此處表示“輔助工具”已比較貼切, 不必再將“工具”二字譯出。
2.理解數(shù)字:翻譯為grasp numbers,其中g(shù)rasp—詞表示“全面領(lǐng)會、理解”之意,用在此處很恰當(dāng)?shù)刈g出了原文“理解”一詞的含義。
3.體驗:翻譯為experimenting,此處原文強(qiáng)調(diào)的是數(shù)學(xué)家親自體驗用算盤做簡單算術(shù)題,因此有“實驗”的含義,故選用experimenting—詞。
