【读职场|一课译词:叶落归根】“叶落归根” , 字面意思是“树叶凋落 , 回到树根四周(Leaves wither and fall on the ground by the tree roots. )” 。 比喻事物总有一定的归宿 , 现多指久居异乡的人终究会返回故里( A person residing elsewhere finally returns to his native land.) 。 它包含着中国人自古普遍具有的一种思乡情感(nostalgia) 。 可以翻译为“end one"s days on one"s native soil;what comes from the soil will return to the soil” 。
例句:
这位老华侨终于叶落归根 , 回到了远离数十年的故乡 。 Like fallen leaves returning to their roots, the old man eventually returned to his hometown and settled down there after several decades overseas.
