中式英語之鑑:死不瞑目

380. 如果你爺爺看到你今天的所作所爲，他一定會死不瞑目的。

[誤] If your grandpa could see what you're doing now, he wouldn't have closed his eyes when he died.

[正] If your grandpa could see what you're doing now, he would turn over in his grave.

注：“死不瞑目”的意思是“死時尚存遺憾”或“靈魂得不到安息”。若將其直譯出來西方人很可能感到費解，所以建議採取意譯的方式。除了上面的譯法，還可以用 die with everlasting regret 或 die discontent 等。
