釣魚執(zhí)法

句子：上海“釣魚執(zhí)法”事件引起國內(nèi)外媒體的關(guān)注。

誤譯：The incident of the fishing law enforcement in Shanghai has drawn the attention from the media at home and abroad.

正譯：The incident of the entrapment in Shanghai has drawn the attention from the media at home and abroad.

解釋：fishing law的意思是“漁業(yè)法”。如果將“釣魚執(zhí)法”直譯為fishing law enforcement，會讓人誤解為 enforcement of fishing law，即“《漁業(yè)法》的執(zhí)行”，與原義大相徑庭。“釣魚執(zhí)法”,又叫“執(zhí)法圈套”或“執(zhí)法碰瓷”。英語可以譯為to entrap，其意思是to trick sb, and encourage them to do sth, especially to commit a crime, so that they can be arrested for it，即“誘捕”。名詞為entrapment，其意思是 the illegal act of tricking sb into committing a crime, so that they can be arrested for it。如：

1. 釣魚執(zhí)法是執(zhí)法者誘惑、勸說或鼓勵一個人去犯罪的行為。Entrapment is the act of a law enforcement officer luring , inducing or encouraging a person to commit a crime.

2. 星期一，上海市政府確認地方交管人員在調(diào)查黑車非法營運時誘捕了一名貨車司機。On Monday, the Shanghai Municipal Government confirmed that local transport supervisors entrapped a van driver while investigating illegal cab operations.

“釣”的第一個意思是“用釣鉤捕魚或其他水生動物”。英語可以譯為 to fish, to angle。如：

3. 你可以在這條小溪里釣鱒魚。You can fish for trout in this stream.

4. 人們禁止在這個池塘釣魚。People are not allowed to angle for fish in this pond.

“釣”的第二個意思是比喻“用手段獵取名利”。英語可以譯為to fish/ angle for fame and compliments。如：

5. 這位老者問為何當今社會沽名釣譽之徒這樣多。The old man asked why there are so many people who are fishing for fame and compliments in the present society. ▲
