第十集中，小祿子為了替安茜籌錢，私自偷了如意館的藏畫，想讓孔武帶出宮去變賣。而如妃懷疑淑寧瘋癲事件幕后有黑手，使得徐公公對(duì)已經(jīng)瘋癲的淑寧痛下殺手。

安茜：為了一己私心，出賣他人，我又何嘗不是無恥。不以窮變節(jié)，不為財(cái)易志，這是你教我說的。
英文字幕：To betray others for one's selfish needs, would I not be shameless then? 'Don't succumb due to poverty and don't change your mind for riches.' You taught me this yourself.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)1：
“不以窮變節(jié)，不為財(cái)易志”說白了就是不因?yàn)樨毟F而改變氣節(jié)，不因?yàn)殄X財(cái)而改變志向，翻成Don't succumb due to poverty, don't change your mind for riches.

succumb to表示屈從，和give in的意思差不多，但是更正式一些：If you succumb to temptation or pressure, you do something that you want to do, or that other people want you to do, although you feel it might be wrong.

eg1.Don't succumb to the temptation to have just one cigarette.
不要經(jīng)受不住誘惑，哪怕一根煙都不要抽。

eg2.The city succumbed after only a short siege.
該城受圍困僅很短時(shí)間就不再抵抗了。

這句話讓小編想起了另一句名言：富貴不能淫，貧賤不能移，威武不能屈。這句話就可以翻譯成：No fortune shall corupt my soul, no poverty shall dampen my will, and no power shall suppress my pride. 用“No...shall...”的結(jié)構(gòu)感覺語(yǔ)氣更嚴(yán)肅、更強(qiáng)硬，表示出了堅(jiān)定的決心！有木有?。?！

安茜：很多外面的人看紫禁城紅墻巍峨，一定以為里面的人生活的很自在。但是他們豈會(huì)知道，想跳出這堵墻的人多的是。
英文字幕：When people from the outside gaze at the tall red walls of the Forbidden City. They must think we live a good life. But they would never know, those who want to escape the walls are actually in abundance.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)2：
這句中文是不是很有《圍城》的感覺呢：外面的人想進(jìn)來，里面的人想出去。這句翻譯總gaze一詞用的很好，表示出了外表凝視、內(nèi)心向往、若有所思的意境。

If you gaze at someone or something, you look steadily at them for a long time, for example because you find them attractive or interesting, or because you are thinking about something else.

eg3.She gazed at me in disbelief when I told her the news.
我告訴她這消息時(shí)，她以懷疑的目光注視著我。

"...are in abundance"用來表示“……的多的是”。

eg4. If you don't want to take the job, fine, those who are willing to do it are in abundance.
如果你不想做這工作就算了，想做人多的是呢。

柳大娘：為什么你連一個(gè)無憂無慮度過殘生的機(jī)會(huì)也不給她？
英文字幕：Why can't you even give her a chance to lead a carefree life, until her time is up?
徐公公：一直以來，我沒想過要和如妃娘娘硬碰，但是從今往后，是兇是吉，沒人知道。
英文字幕：I never thought I would have to directly face-off with Madam Yue. But from now on, whether it's blessed or damned, no one knows.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)3：
過……的生活：lead/live a...life或者lead/live a life of+名詞

eg5.My parents are retired and now live a life of ease.
我的父母都退休了，現(xiàn)在過著安閑舒適的生活。

硬碰硬，其實(shí)就是正面對(duì)決啦，所以翻成directly face-off with sb，face-off比f(wàn)ace更強(qiáng)烈一點(diǎn)，face只是面對(duì)，而face-off又對(duì)峙的意思，常用語(yǔ)體育比賽中，也可以作名詞。

e6.He and the manager had a face-off, but nothing came of it.
他和經(jīng)理對(duì)抗，但是沒什么結(jié)果。
